Gibson coined the term "[[w:cyberspace|cyberspace]]" in his short story "[[w:Burning Chrome|Burning Chrome]]" and later popularized the concept in his debut novel, ''[[w:Neuromancer|Neuromancer]]'' (1984). Gibson's novels are grouped into four informal trilogies: * [[Sprawl trilogy|'''Sprawl trilogy quotes''']] ** ''Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive'' * [[Bridge trilogy|'''Bridge trilogy quotes''']] ** ''Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties'' * [[Blue Ant trilogy|'''Blue Ant trilogy quotes''']] ** ''Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, Zero History'' * [[Jackpot trilogy|'''Jackpot trilogy quotes''']] ** ''The Peripheral, Agency'' == Quotes == [[File:September 11 Photo Montage.jpg|thumb|Terrorism as we ordinarily understand it is innately media-related.]] * On the most basic level, computers in my books are simply a metaphor for human memory: I'm interested in the hows and whys of memory, the ways it defines who and what we are, in how easily memory is subject to revision. When I was writing ''Neuromancer,'' it was wonderful to be able to tie a lot of these interests into the computer metaphor. It wasn't until I could finally afford a computer of my own that I found out there's a drive mechanism inside — this little thing that spins around. I'd been expecting an exotic crystalline thing, a cyberspace deck or something, and what I got was a little piece of a Victorian engine that made noises like a scratchy old record player. That noise took away some of the mystique for me; it made computers less sexy. My ignorance had allowed me to romanticize them. ** Interview with Larry McCaffery in ''Storming the Reality Studio : A Casebook of Cyberpunk and Postmodern Science Fiction,'' Duke University Press (December 1991) * The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed. ** He is reported to have first said this in an interview on ''Fresh Air'', NPR (31 August 1993) {[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1107153 unverified]}, he repeated it, prefacing it with "As I've said many times…" in [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1067220 "The Science in Science Fiction" on ''Talk of the Nation'', NPR (30 November 1999, Timecode 11:20)].

Whenever something like this happens, it ups the ante on being a science-fiction writer. It changes the nature of the game. <!-- Section 1.7 :: Mediated world --> * Another example — maybe a better one, in a way — was when it was confirmed that [[Michael Jackson]] was going to marry [[Elvis Presley]]'s daughter. A good friend of mine in the States faxed me, and he simply said, "This makes your job more difficult." And I knew exactly what he meant. Because something — a scenario — that seemed to belong to the universe of the late [[w:Terry Southern|Terry Southern]], was suddenly real. It's that truth-is-stranger-than-fiction factor keeps getting jacked up on us on a fairly regular, maybe even exponential, basis. I think that's something peculiar to our time.

Much more, much more to do with hippy girls and hashish. ** On dodging the draft and moving to Toronto * Consequently, when I got to Toronto, much to my chagrin, I really couldn't handle hanging out with the American draft dodgers. There was too much clinical depression. Too much suicide. Too much hardcore substance abuse. They were a traumatized lot, those boys. And I just felt frivolous. * The straight world didn't end. The straight world and the other world had bled into one another and produced the world that we live in today.

You have to be incredibly self-centered or pathetic to be satisfied with simply tweaking the incoming data. :'''On humanity and religion''' * Acceptance. Acceptance of the impermanence of being. And acceptance of the imperfect nature of being, or possibly the perfect nature of being, depending on how one looks at it. Acceptance that this is not a rehearsal. That this is it. ** When asked what will save humanity. * I think of religions as franchise operations. Like chicken franchise operations.

It indicates a kind of maturity, an understanding that every future is someone else's past, every present someone else's future. Upon arriving in the capital-F Future, we discover it, invariably, to be the lower-case now.<br>The best science fiction has always known that, but it was a sort of cultural secret. When I began to write fiction, at the very end of the Seventies, I was fortunate to have been taught, as an undergraduate, that imaginary futures are always, regardless of what the authors might think, about the day in which they're written. Orwell knew it, writing ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' in 1948, and I knew it writing ''Neuromancer,'' my first novel, which was published in 1984. ** "Talk for [[w:BookExpo America|Book Expo]], New York," 2010. * Time moves in one direction, memory in another.<br>We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting. ** "Dead Man Sings," published in ''Forbes ASAP'', November 30, 1998. * My first impulse, when presented with any spanking-new piece of computer hardware, is to imagine how it will look in ten years' time, gathering dust under a card table in a thrift shop.

She goes out to enjoy the flowers in her garden. ** "The Net Is a Waste of Time," ''The New York Times Magazine'', July 14, 1996. * As new technologies search out and lace over every interstice in the net of global communication, we find ourselves with increasingly less excuse for...slack. And that, I would argue, is what the [[w:History_of_the_World_Wide_Web#1991–1995:_The_Web_goes_public,_early_growth|World Wide Web]], the test pattern for whatever will become the dominant global medium, offers us. Today, in its clumsy, larval, curiously innocent way, it offers us the opportunity to waste time...It will probably evolve into something considerably less random, and less fun — we seem to have a knack for that — but in the meantime, in its gloriously unsorted Global Ham Television Postcard Universes phase, surfing the Web is a procrastinator's dream.

Time, June 19, 2000. * I thought of the Garage Kubrick when I went to Sundance for the first time and saw young filmmakers doing what young filmmakers apparently must do to get attention for their work — the public part of which seemed to involve shuffling in a tense sort of lemming-lockstep up and down the main drag of Park City, talking on two cell phones at once and looking near-fatally stressed. The private part, the deal-making part, I assumed (based on experiences of my own) would be worse.

You said there's a [[Islam in the United States|Muslim problem]] in this country. What do you mean by that exactly? <br> '''Donald Trump''': [[Bill O'Reilly (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]] asked me is there a Muslim problem? And I said absolutely, yes. In fact I went a step further. I said I didn't see [[Swedes|Swedish people]] [[September 11 attacks|knocking down the World Trade Center]]. It was very interesting. I thought that was going to be a controversial statement and somebody, I think it was [[Dennis Miller]] introduced me, he was doing like an analysis of me, he said, I love it. The guy said what the truth is. He didn't mince his words. He didn't say, 'Oh, gee, no there's not a Muslim problem, everybody's wonderful.' And by the way, many, many, most Muslims are wonderful people, but is there a Muslim problem? Look what's happening. Look what happened right here in my city with the World Trade Center and lots of other places. So I said it and I thought it was going to be very controversial but actually it was very well received. I think people want the truth. I think they're tired of politicians. They're tired of [[politically correct]] stuff. I mean I could have said, 'Oh absolutely not Bill, there's no Muslim problem, everything is wonderful, just forget about the World Trade Center.' But you have to speak the truth. We're so politically correct that this country is falling apart. <br>'''Brody''': With some evangelicals there are some problems with the teachings of the [[Koran]]. Do you have concerns about the Koran? <br> '''Trump''': Well, I'll tell you what. The Koran is very interesting. A lot of people say it [[w:Religious views on love#Islam|teaches love]] and there is a very big group of people who really understand the Koran far better than I do. I'm certainly not an expert, to put it mildly. But there's something there that teaches some very negative vibe. I mean things are happening, when you look at people blowing up all over the streets that are in some of the countries over in the [[Middle East]], just blowing up a super market with not even soldiers, just people, when 250 people die in a super market that are shopping, where people die in a store or in a street. There's a lot of hatred there that's some place. Now I don't know if that's from the Koran. I don't know if that's from some place else. But there's tremendous hatred out there that I've never seen anything like it. So, you have two views.

Iran developing a nuclear weapon, either through uranium or nuclear fuel, and defying the world is still a very real possibility. The inspections will not be followed, and Iran will no longer have any sanctions. Iran gets everything and loses nothing. Every promise the Obama Administration made in the beginning of negotiations, including the vow (made at the beginning of the negotiations) to get our great American prisoners returned to the U.

But nothing ever happens. ** p. 73 * I manage to blast through the ridiculous liberal bias of the media and speak right to the hearts of the people - or at least I try. ** p. 80 * It's not just jobs that are being lost to other countries.

Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. **[https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration] (December 7, 2015) archived [https://archive.ph/TK7qR here] * We are losing a lot of people to the Internet.

That will be the foundation of every single decision that I will make. [[America First (policy)|America First]] will be the major and overriding theme of my administration. * Our foreign policy is a complete and total disaster. No vision. No purpose. No direction. No strategy. * [[Barack Obama|President Obama]] has weakened [[United States Armed Forces|our military]] by weakening our economy. He's crippled us with wasteful spending, massive [[National debt|debt]], low growth, a huge trade deficit and open borders. * Our allies are not paying their fair share... The countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense, and if not, the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. We have no choice. * Israel, our great friend and the one true democracy in the Middle East has been snubbed and criticized by an administration that lacks moral clarity... President Obama has not been a friend to Israel. He has treated Iran with tender love and care and made it a great power. * We've let our rivals and challengers think they can get away with anything, and they do... If President Obama's goal had been to weaken America, he could not have done a better job. * We've made the Middle East more unstable and chaotic than ever before. We left Christians subject to intense persecution and even [[genocide]]. We have done nothing to help the Christians, nothing, and we should always be ashamed for that lack of action. * Hillary Clinton refuses to say the words radical Islam, even as she pushes for a massive increase in refugees coming into our country. After Secretary Clinton's failed intervention in Libya, [[wikipedia:2012 Benghazi attack|Islamic terrorists in Benghazi]] took down our consulate and killed our ambassador and three brave Americans. Then, instead of taking charge that night, Hillary Clinton decided to go home and sleep. Incredible. Clinton blames it all on a video, an excuse that was a total lie, proven to be absolutely a total lie. Our ambassador was murdered and our secretary of state misled the nation. * We're also going to have to change our trade, immigration and economic policies to make our economy strong again. And to put Americans first again. This will ensure that our own workers, right here in America, get the jobs and higher pay that will grow our tax revenues, increase our economic might as a nation. * I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia from a position of strength only is possible. * Americans must know that we're putting the American people first again on trade, on immigration, on foreign policy. The jobs, incomes and security of the [[Working class in the United States|American worker]] will always be my first priority. No country has ever prospered that failed to put its own interests first. Both our friends and our enemies put their countries above ours and we, while being fair to them, must start doing the same. We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of [[globalism]]. The nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony. I am skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down, and will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs. ====May 2016==== * We have a 500 billion dollar deficit, trade deficit with China. We're going to turn it around and we have the cards, don't forget, we're like the piggy bank that's being robbed. We have the cards, we have a lot of power with China. When China doesn't want to fix the problem in North Korea we say "Sorry folks, you've got to fix the problem."

Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored. <br /> The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. * It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. <br /> So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths — the Democrats are holding their convention next week. Go there. <br /> But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else. * Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this Administration's rollback of criminal enforcement. * America is far less safe – and the world is far less stable – than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America's foreign policy. I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets. Her bad instincts and her bad judgment – something pointed out by Bernie Sanders – are what caused the disasters unfolding today. * This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness. * The problems we face now – [[Poverty in the United States|poverty]] and violence at home, war and destruction abroad – will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them. A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes. * There can be no prosperity without [[wikipedia:Law and order (politics)|law and order]] * Our plan will put America First. [[wikipedia:Americanism (ideology)|Americanism]], not globalism, will be our credo. As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect. * Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total control over everything she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings. That is why Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change. My message is that things have to change – and they have to change right now. * Every day I wake up determined to deliver for the people I have met all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored, and abandoned. I have visited the laid-off factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country, and they are forgotten, but they're not going to be forgotten long. These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I AM YOUR VOICE. * I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence, no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens. * When innocent people suffer, because our political system lacks the will, or the courage, or the basic decency to enforce our [[Law|laws]] – or worse still, has sold out to some corporate lobbyist for cash – I am not able to look the other way. * When a [[United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State]] illegally stores her emails on a private server, deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities can't see her crime, puts our country at risk, lies about it in every different form and faces no consequence – I know that corruption has reached a level like never before. * I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves. '''Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it'''. <br /> I have seen firsthand how the system is rigged against our citizens, just like it was rigged against Bernie Sanders – he never had a chance. * [[Mike Pence|He]] (Mike Pence) is a man of character and accomplishment. He is the right man for the job. * An attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans. I have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police: when I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order our country. * In this race for the White House, I am the Law And Order candidate. ... I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally, and protected equally. ** "I am the law-and-order candidate" was a phrase used by [[Richard Nixon]] during his [[w:Richard Nixon 1968 presidential campaign|1968 presidential campaign]]. * Once again, [[France]] is the [[wikipedia:2016 Nice attack|victim of brutal Islamic terrorism]]. Men, women and children viciously mowed down. Lives ruined. Families ripped apart. A nation in mourning. * I will do everything in my power to protect our [[LGBT]] citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. * We must work with all of our allies who share our goal of destroying ISIS and stamping out Islamic terror. This includes working with our greatest ally in the region, the State of Israel. * We must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. * I only want to admit individuals into our country who will support our values and love our people. Anyone who endorses violence, hatred or oppression is not welcome in our country and never will be. * Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people. * Of all my travels in this country, nothing has affected me more deeply than the time I have spent with the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence spilling across our border. * We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. * We are going to be considerate and compassionate to everyone. But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens. * I pledge to never sign any trade agreement that hurts our workers, or that diminishes our freedom and independence. Instead, I will make individual deals with individual countries. * No longer will we enter into these massive deals, with many countries, that are thousands of pages long – and which no one from our country even reads or understands. We are going to enforce all trade violations, including through the use of taxes and tariffs, against any country that cheats. * My Dad, {{w|Fred Trump}}, was the smartest and hardest working man I ever knew. * America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. * All of the people telling you that you can't have the country you want, are the same people telling you that I wouldn't be standing here tonight. No longer can we rely on those elites in media, and politics, who will say anything to keep a rigged system in place. * My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three word loyalty pledge. It reads, "I'm with her." I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads, "I'm with you – the American people." I am your voice. So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for a better future, I say these words to you tonight: I'm with you, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you. To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and towns, I make this promise: We will make America proud again, we will make America strong again, we will make America safe again, and we will Make America Great Again!

If Hillary Clinton's goal was to inflict pain on the African-American community, she could not have done a better job. It's a disgrace. Tonight, I'm asking for the vote of every single African-American citizen in this country who wants to see a better future. The inner cities of our country have been run by the Democratic party for more than fifty years. Their policies have reduced only [[Poverty in the United States|poverty]], joblessness, failing schools and broken homes. It's time to hold Democratic politicians accountable for what they have done to these communities. At what point do we say, "enough?" It's time to hold failed leaders accountable for their results not just their empty words over and over again. Look at what the Democratic party has done to the city as an example and there are many others of Detroit: forty percent of Detroit's residents live in poverty. Half of all Detroit residents do not work and cannot work and can't get a job. Detroit tops the list of most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. This is the legacy of the Democratic politicians who have run this city. This is the result of the policy agenda embraced by Hillary Clinton: thirty-three thousand emails gone. The only way to change results is to change leadership. We can never fix our problems by relying on the same politicians who created our problems in the first place. A new future requires brand new leadership. Look how much African-American communities suffered under Democratic control. To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump. What do you have to lose? I say it again, what do you have to lose. Look, what do you have to lose? You're living your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs. Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed? What the hell do you have to lose? And at the end of four years, I guarantee you, that I will get over ninety-five percent of the African-American vote.

She's going to do nothing for African-Americans. She's going to do nothing for the Hispanics.

She wants a government that ignores the will of the people. She wants to sell out American security to the Clinton Foundation for a pile of cash. It is hard to tell where the Clinton Foundation ends and the [[United States Department of State|State Department]] begins. ... Hillary Clinton has betrayed her duty to the people. * The job of a public official is to serve and protect the citizens of the United States.

One American Nation. * It's time for America to recapture its destiny. Our government, our leaders, and our media have lost touch with the people. You need no better evidence of that than the fact that the media ignores the plight of Americans who have lost their children to illegal immigrants, but spends day after day pushing for amnesty for those here in violation of the law. * This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness. But Hillary Clinton's legacy doesn't have to be America's legacy. * I have a message for the terrorists trying to kill our citizens: we will find you, we will destroy you, and we will win.

They're going to Mexico. They're going to many other countries. You look at what China is doing to our country in terms of making our product. They're devaluing their currency, and there's nobody in our government to fight them. And we have a very good fight. And we have a winning fight. Because they're using our country as a piggy bank to rebuild China, and many other countries are doing the same thing. ... We have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us. We have to stop our companies from leaving the United States and, with it, firing all of their people. ... We cannot let it happen. Under my plan, I'll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses. That's going to be a job creator like we haven't seen since [[Ronald Reagan]]. It's going to be a beautiful thing to watch. Companies will come. They will build. They will expand. New companies will start. And I look very, very much forward to doing it. We have to renegotiate our trade deals, and we have to stop these countries from stealing our companies and our jobs. * Our country's in deep trouble. We don't know what we're doing when it comes to devaluations and all of these countries all over the world, especially China. They're the best, the best ever at it. What they're doing to us is a very, very sad thing. * But in all fairness to Secretary Clinton, when she started talking about this, it was really very recently. She's been doing this for 30 years. And why hasn't she made the agreements better? The NAFTA agreement is defective. Just because of the tax and many other reasons, but just because of the fact Secretary Clinton and others, politicians, should have been doing this for years, not right now, because of the fact that we've created a movement. * The first thing you do is don't let the jobs leave. The companies are leaving. I could name, I mean, there are thousands of them. They're leaving, and they're leaving in bigger numbers than ever. And what you do is you say, fine, you want to go to Mexico or some other country, good luck. We wish you a lot of luck. But if you think you're going to make your air conditioners or your cars or your cookies or whatever you make and bring them into our country without a tax, you're wrong. And once you say you're going to have to tax them coming in, and our politicians never do this, because they have special interests and the special interests want those companies to leave, because in many cases, they own the companies. So what I'm saying is, we can stop them from leaving. We have to stop them from leaving. And that's a big, big factor. * '''CLINTON''': Donald was one of the people who rooted for the [[wikipedia:United States housing bubble|housing crisis]]. He said, back in 2006, "Gee, I hope it does collapse, because then I can go in and buy some and make some money." Well, it did collapse. : '''TRUMP''': That's called business, by the way. * We invested in a solar company, our country. That was a disaster. They lost plenty of money on that one. Now, look, I'm a great believer in all forms of [[energy]], but we're putting a lot of people out of work. Our energy policies are a disaster. Our country is losing so much in terms of energy, in terms of paying off our debt. You can't do what you're looking to do with $20 trillion in debt. The Obama administration, from the time they've come in, is over 230 years' worth of debt, and he's topped it. He's doubled it in a course of almost eight years, seven-and-a-half years, to be semi- exact. * We have to do a much better job at giving companies incentives to build new companies or to expand, because they're not doing it. * NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. And now you [Hillary Clinton] [[wikipedia:Political positions of Hillary Clinton#Trans-Pacific_Partnership|want to approve Trans-Pacific Partnership]]. You were totally in favor of it. Then you heard what I was saying, how bad it is, and you said, I can't win that debate. But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA. Nothing will ever top NAFTA. * You are going to approve one of the [[wikipedia:Political positions of Hillary Clinton#Fiscal_policy_and_taxation|biggest tax cuts in history]]. You are going to approve one of the biggest tax increases in history. You are going to drive business out. Your regulations are a disaster, and you're going to increase regulations all over the place. And by the way, my tax cut is the biggest since [[wikipedia:Reaganomics|Ronald Reagan]]. I'm very proud of it. It will create tremendous numbers of new jobs. But regulations, you are going to regulate these businesses out of existence. ... The things that business as in people like the most is the fact that I'm cutting regulation. You have regulations on top of regulations, and new companies cannot form and old companies are going out of business. And you want to increase the regulations and make them even worse. I'm going to cut regulations. I'm going to cut taxes big league, and you're going to raise taxes big league, end of story. * She's telling us how to fight ISIS. Just go to her website. She tells you how to fight ISIS on her website. I don't think General [[Douglas MacArthur]] would like that too much. ... See, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do.

They're going to do a tremendous job. I'm getting rid of the carried interest provision. And if you really look, it's not a tax -- it's really not a great thing for the wealthy.

Look, I've been under audit almost for 15 years. I know a lot of wealthy people that have never been audited. I said, do you get audited? I get audited almost every year. And in a way, I should be complaining. I'm not even complaining. I don't mind it. It's almost become a way of life. I get audited by the [[IRS]]. But other people don't. I will say this. We have a situation in this country that has to be taken care of. I will release my tax returns -- against my lawyer's wishes -- when she [Hillary Clinton] releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. As soon as she releases them, I will release. ** About releasing his tax returns. * That makes me smart. ** About that Trump didn't pay [[wikipedia:Income tax in the United States|federal income taxes]]. * That was more than a mistake. That was done purposely. OK? That was not a mistake. That was done purposely. When you have your staff taking the [[Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth Amendment]], taking the Fifth so they're not prosecuted, when you have the man that set up the illegal server taking the Fifth, I think it's disgraceful. ** About {{w|Hillary Clinton email controversy}} * As far as my tax returns, you don't learn that much from tax returns. That I can tell you. You learn a lot from financial disclosure. And you should go down and take a look at that. * I am very under[[wiktionary:leverage|leveraged]]. I have a great company. I have a tremendous income. And the reason I say that is not in a braggadocios way. It's because it's about time that this country had somebody running it that has an idea about money. * Maybe he didn't do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work ... On occasion, four times, we used certain laws that are there. And when Secretary Clinton talks about people that didn't get paid, first of all, they did get paid a lot, but taken advantage of the laws of the nation. Now, if you want to change the laws, you've been there a long time, change the laws. But I take advantage of the laws of the nation because I'm running a company. My obligation right now is to do well for myself, my family, my employees, for my companies. And that's what I do. ... She [Hillary Clinton] doesn't say is that tens of thousands of people that are unbelievably happy and that love me. ** About not having paid to some of his employees. * We need law and order. If we don't have it, we're not going to have a country. ... We need law and order in our country. * We have a situation where we have our inner cities, [[African American|African- Americans]], [[w:Hispanic American|Hispanics]] are living in hell because it's so dangerous. You walk down the street, you get shot. * Now, whether or not in a place like Chicago you do [[wikipedia:Frisking|stop and frisk]], which worked very well, [[Rudy Giuliani|Mayor Giuliani]] is here, [[wikipedia:Stop-and-frisk in New York City|worked very well in New York]]. It brought the crime rate way down. But you take the gun away from criminals that shouldn't be having it. We have [[wikipedia:Gangs in the United States|gangs roaming the street]]. And in many cases, they're illegally here, [[illegal immigrants]]. And they have guns. And they shoot people. And we have to be very strong. And we have to be very vigilant. * Our police, in many cases, are afraid to do anything. We have to protect our inner cities, because African-American communities are being decimated by crime, decimated. * '''HOLT''': Stop-and-frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young men. : '''TRUMP''': No, you're wrong. It went before a judge, who was a very against-police judge. It was taken away from her. And our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. They would have won an appeal. If you look at it, throughout the country, there are many places where it's allowed. : '''HOLT''': The argument is that it's a form of racial profiling. : '''TRUMP''': No, the argument is that we have to take the guns away from these people that have them and they are bad people that shouldn't have them. * You need more police. You need a better community, you know, relation. ... You need better relationships between the communities and the police, because in some cases, it's not good. * So when you [Hillary Clinton] tried to act holier than thou, it really doesn't work. It really doesn't. * We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that [[wikipedia:Democratic National Committee cyber attacks|broke into the DNC]]. She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't -- maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? * We have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. * President Obama and Secretary Clinton created a vacuum the way they got [[wikipedia:Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq|out of Iraq]], because they got out -- what, they shouldn't have been in, but once they got in, the way they got out was a disaster. And ISIS was formed. * I said it to you once, had we taken the [[oil]] -- and we should have taken the oil -- ISIS would not have been able to form either, because the [[wikipedia:Oil production and smuggling in ISIL|oil was their primary source of income]]. And now they have the oil all over the place, including the oil -- a lot of the oil in Libya, which was another one of her disasters. * You [Hillary Clinton] look at the Middle East, you started the Iran deal, that's another beauty where you have a country that was ready to fall, I mean, they were doing so badly. They were choking on the sanctions. And now they're going to be actually probably a major power at some point pretty soon, the way they're going. * I think we have to get [[NATO]] to go into the Middle East with us, in addition to surrounding nations, and we have to knock the hell out of ISIS, and we have to do it fast, when ISIS formed in this vacuum created by Barack Obama and Secretary Clinton. And believe me, you were the ones that took out the troops. ... When they formed, this is something that never should have happened. It should have never happened. Now, you're talking about taking out ISIS. But you were there, and you were secretary of state when it was a little infant. Now it's in over 30 countries. And you're going to stop them? I don't think so. * I think the best person in her [Clinton's] campaign is mainstream media. * The single greatest problem the world has is nuclear armament, nuclear weapons, not global warming, like you think and your -- your president thinks. ====October 2016==== * I'd never withdraw.

The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China and other countries all around the world. It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.

But they're giving up a lot. I mean some are giving up tremendous businesses in order to sit for four or maybe eight or whatever the period of time is. But I think we're going to see some tremendous talent, tremendous talent coming in. We have many people for every job. I mean no matter what the job is, we have many incredible people. I think, [[wikipedia:Reince Priebus|Reince]], you can sort of just confirm that. The quality of the people is very good. ... We're trying very hard to get the best people. Not necessarily people that will be the most politically correct people, because that hasn't been working. So we have really experts in the field. Some are known and some are not known, but they're known within their field as being the best. That's very important to me. * I think the popular vote would have been easier in a true sense because you'd go to a few places. I think that's the genius of the [[w:United States Electoral College|Electoral College]]. I was never a fan of the Electoral College until now. * What we do want to do is we want to bring the country together, because the country is very, very divided, and that's one thing I did see, big league. It's very, very divided, and I'm going to work very hard to bring the country together. * I want to move forward, I don't want to move back. And I don't want to hurt the Clintons. I really don't. She went through a lot. And suffered greatly in many different ways. And I am not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious. They say it was the most vicious primary and the most vicious campaign. I guess, added together, it was definitely the most vicious; probably, I assume you sold a lot of newspapers. ... It's just not something that I feel very strongly about. ... I'm not looking to look back and go through this. This was a very painful period. This was a very painful election with all of the email things and all of the foundation things and all of the everything that they went through and the whole country went through. This was a very painful period of time. ** About not prosecuting Hillary Clinton. * Our country's really in bad, big trouble. We have a lot of trouble. A lot of problems. And one of the big problems, I talk about, [[divisiveness]]. I think that a lot of people will appreciate … I'm not doing it for that reason. I'm doing it because it's time to go in a different direction. * '''Clean air is vitally important. Clean water, crystal clean water is vitally important. Safety is vitally important.''' * Sometimes I'll say I'm actually an [[environmentalist]] and people will smile in some cases and other people that know me understand that's true. Open mind. * We're not a competitive nation with other nations anymore. We have to make ourselves competitive. We're not competitive for a lot of reasons. That's becoming more and more of the reason. Because a lot of these countries that we do business with, they make deals with our president, or whoever, and then they don't adhere to the deals, you know that. And it's much less expensive for their companies to produce products. So I'm going to be studying that very hard, and I think I have a very big voice in it. And I think my voice is listened to, especially by people that don't believe in it. And we'll let you know. * As far as the, you know, potential conflict of interests, though, I mean I know that from the standpoint, the law is totally on my side, meaning, the president can't have a conflict of interest. That's been reported very widely. Despite that, I don't want there to be a conflict of interest anyway. And the laws, the president can't. And I understand why the president can't have a conflict of interest now because everything a president does in some ways is like a conflict of interest. * I don't care about my company. ... Because it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to me is running our country. * It's hard to explain. I don't care about anything having to do with anything having to do with anything other than the country. * In theory I could run my business perfectly, and then run the country perfectly. And there's never been a case like this where somebody's had, like, if you look at other people of wealth, they didn't have this kind of asset and this kind of wealth, frankly. It's just a different thing. * I've known [[Steve Bannon]] a long time. If I thought he was a [[Racism in the United States|racist]], or [[alt-right]], or any of the things that we can, you know, the terms we can use, I wouldn't even think about hiring him. First of all, I'm the one that makes the decision, not Steve Bannon or anybody else. * To me more important is taking care of the people that really have proven to be, to love Donald Trump, as opposed to the political people. And frankly if the political people don't take care of these people, they're not going to win and you're going to end up with maybe a total different kind of government than what you're looking at right now. These people are really angry. They're smart, they're workers, and they're angry. I call them the forgotten men and women. And I use that in speeches, I say they're the forgotten people — they were totally forgotten. * I would love to be able to be the one that made peace with Israel and the Palestinians. I would love that, that would be such a great achievement. Because nobody's been able to do it. ... I've had a lot of, actually, great Israeli businesspeople tell me, you can't do that, it's impossible. I disagree, I think you can make peace. I think people are tired now of being shot, killed. At some point, when do they come? I think we can do that. I have reason to believe I can do that. * [[The Times]] is, it's a great, great American jewel.

It’s our declaration of economic independence. …now it’s our turn to prosper and in so doing use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt and it will all happen very quickly. With today’s action we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before. *Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base. We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers. And ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers. This will be indeed the golden age of America. It’s coming back and we’re going to come back very strongly. *From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the 1880s, they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting….<br>Then in 1913, for reasons unknown to mankind, they established the income tax so that citizens rather than foreign countries would start paying the money necessary to run our government. Then in 1929, it all came to a very abrupt end with the Great Depression, and it would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy. It would have been a much different story.<br>They tried to bring back tariffs to save our country, but it was gone. It was gone. It was too late. Nothing could have been done. It took years and years to get out of that depression, far longer than even FDR had that office right over there for a long period of time. *We will charge them approximately half of what they are and have been charging us because we are being very kind. This is not full reciprocal. This is kind reciprocal. *In short, chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem. They're a national emergency that threatens our security and our very way of life. It's a very great threat to our country. *These tariffs are going to give us growth like you haven’t seen before.

You're not too young. You can have great success at a very young age ... In America, with drive and ambition, young people can do anything." # "You have to love what you do. You have to. I rarely see somebody that's successful that doesn't love what he or she does ... If I didn't find it fun, I wouldn't be successful." # "The third thing is to think big. If you're going to do something, you might as well think big. I know a lot of people, they've thought small, they were very smart. I know others that weren't nearly as smart, but they had a better picture of the big picture, because it's just as hard to solve a small problem as a big problem and it's just as much energy and everything else, except the result is going to be a smaller one. So love what you do and think big if it's possible." # "Work hard. Never, ever stop," Trump said, before mentioning pro golf legend Gary Player. The president said Player "wasn't as big as other men, he was on the small side ... but he worked very, very hard. He made up for it. He never stopped." # "Don't lose your momentum. You just want to keep it going. And you have to know, if you are losing it, you have to know when you are losing it, so maybe you stop and maybe it's time to stop. Listen to the feedback, think through your plan very carefully and keep moving fast." # "If you want to change the world, you have to have the courage to be an outsider. In other words, you have to take certain risks and do things a little bit differently; otherwise, if that were the case, everybody would be successful. Doesn't work that way. Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of a broken system; it comes from those who want to fix the broken system. If you want to go to the top, you're just never going to do it unless you break the system ... You really do, you have to break the system a little bit and follow your own instincts. But if your vision is right, nothing will hold you down. Nothing. You have to have the right vision." # "Trust your instincts. Common sense. You can go very far in life with common sense and I applied that to politics because some of these things, like, they had open borders. Let everybody in the whole world flow into our country. That's not common sense." # "Everybody should believe in the American dream. It's real, it's there and it's right before you." # "Think of yourself as a winner. The power of positive thinking. Don't consider yourself a victim. Consider yourself a winner. In recent years, too many of our young people have really been taught to think of themselves as victims and blame people and be angry. Don't be angry. In America, we reject that idea that anyone is born a victim. Our heroes are the ones who take charge of their own destiny, make their own luck and determine their own fate, despite the odds." # "Be an original," Trump said as his penultimate piece of advice for the graduating class. "The all-time greats were people who had the confidence to be a little different ... God only created one of you. Remember that. You're all different, some are close, but nobody is the same. You're one of a kind so don't try to be someone else. Just be yourself." # "Never, ever give up. Never give up. Don't stop. Never, ever give up.

When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration, and it’s when we first began hearing the word affordability. *Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history. *For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists and, above all, foreign nations, which took advantage of us at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens. They decimated your hard-earned savings. They indoctrinated your children with hate for America, released, really, I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen to prey on innocent. They caused war. They caused mayhem. They caused a horrible situation all over the globe. *Here at home, we are bringing our economy back from the brink of ruin. The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our Treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast. *Democrat politicians also sent the cost of groceries soaring, but we are solving that, too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down 33 percent compared to the Biden last year. The price of eggs is down 82 percent since March, and everything else is falling rapidly. And it’s not done yet, but boy, are we making progress. Nobody can believe what’s going on. *Already, I’ve secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings and far greater national security. Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore. *One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that’s said by every single leader that I’ve spoken to over the last five months. *I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations, which were taken advantage of our country for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500 and even 600 percent. *The current unaffordable care act was created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health care at much too high a cost, and you see that now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they are demanding those increases and it’s their fault. It is not the Republicans’ fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault. It’s the unaffordable care act, and everybody knew it.<br>Again, I want the money to go directly to the people so you can buy your own health care. You’ll get much better health care at a much lower price. The only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten rich, and the Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies. They will not be happy, but that’s OK with me because you, the people, are finally going to be getting great health care at a lower cost. *On Day 1, I declared a national energy emergency. Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon, and in much of the country, in some states, it, by the way, just hit $1.99 a gallon. *Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation has stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back, stronger than ever before. We’re poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen. Soon we will host the World Cup and the Olympics, both of which I got. But most importantly, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.<br>There could be no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago. When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its workers, confident to its identity, certain to its destiny and the envy of the entire globe. We are respected again, like we have never been respected before. **[https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/politics/trump-speech-transcript-economy.html Full Transcript of President Trump’s Speech on the Economy] ''The New York Times'' (December 17, 2025) ** [https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/17/politics/fact-check-trump-prime-time-address "Fact check: Trump repeats numerous false claims in prime-time address"] ''CNN'' (December 18, 2025) ===2026=== ====January 2026==== *Peace.

Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war.]] * A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. A vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. * Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror, and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon. * They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing the long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas, and could soon reach the American homeland. Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had, and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. <br /> For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces, and no longer use their IEDs, or roadside bombs as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon. * This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces. I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration and there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength or sophistication. My administration is taking every possible step to minimize the risk to U.S. personnel in the region. Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. But we're doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future. And it is a noble mission. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way. And we trust that with his help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail. We have the greatest in the world, and they will prevail. * To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity. Or in the alternative, face certain death. So, lay down your arms. You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. <br /> For many years, you have asked for America's help. But you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny, and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass. ==== March 2026 ==== {{See also|2026 Iran war}} * There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! * IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE.

And this was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press. And in a certain way it did because the fact that they just unified, I saw a room that was just totally unified. It was in one way, very beautiful. A very beautiful thing to see. * A tape showing the violence of this thug that attacked our constitution and also showing how quickly Secret Service and law enforcement acted on our country's behalf, really did a great job. <br /> One officer was shot, but saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest. He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun. And the vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great. He's great shape. He has very high spirits and we told him we love him and respect him. And he's a very proud guy. He's very proud of what he does, Secret Service agent. And we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight. And I will say, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's a much more secure. It's got, it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. <br /> We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today's a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. But everyone owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the courage of law enforcement. * So as you know, this is not the first time in the past couple of years that our republic been attacked by a would be assassin who sought to kill in Butler, Pennsylvania less than two years ago. <br /> You all know that story. And in Palm Beach, Florida, a few months after that, we came close. We really had, again, we had some great work done by law enforcement. But in light of this evening's events, I asked that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our difference peacefully. We have to resolve our differences. I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, independents, conservatives, liberals, and progressives. Those words are interchangeable, perhaps but maybe they're not. But yet everybody in that room, big crowd, record-setting crowd, there was a record-setting group of people, and there was a tremendous amount of love and coming together. I watched and I was very, very impressed by that. * I told the representatives of the evening, they did such a beautiful job, was such a beautiful evening. And again, they're talking about free speech in our [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]. That's what it's all about. Not just White House correspondence. It was really based on free speech in our Constitution. But I said very importantly that we'll do it again within the next 30 days. It will make it bigger and better and even nicer. So I just want to thank everybody that was involved. I also want to thank the press, the media. You've been very responsible in your coverage. I will say I've been seeing what's been out and you've been very responsible. ==== May 2026 ==== : ''About the 2026 midterm election:'' * It is a problem I'm not on the ballot.

What do you mean by that exactly? <br> '''Donald Trump''': [[Bill O'Reilly (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]] asked me is there a Muslim problem? And I said absolutely, yes. In fact I went a step further. I said I didn't see [[Swedes|Swedish people]] [[September 11 attacks|knocking down the World Trade Center]]. It was very interesting. I thought that was going to be a controversial statement and somebody, I think it was [[Dennis Miller]] introduced me, he was doing like an analysis of me, he said, I love it. The guy said what the truth is. He didn't mince his words. He didn't say, 'Oh, gee, no there's not a Muslim problem, everybody's wonderful.' And by the way, many, many, most Muslims are wonderful people, but is there a Muslim problem? Look what's happening. Look what happened right here in my city with the World Trade Center and lots of other places. So I said it and I thought it was going to be very controversial but actually it was very well received. I think people want the truth. I think they're tired of politicians. They're tired of [[politically correct]] stuff. I mean I could have said, 'Oh absolutely not Bill, there's no Muslim problem, everything is wonderful, just forget about the World Trade Center.' But you have to speak the truth. We're so politically correct that this country is falling apart. <br>'''Brody''': With some evangelicals there are some problems with the teachings of the [[Koran]]. Do you have concerns about the Koran? <br> '''Trump''': Well, I'll tell you what. The Koran is very interesting. A lot of people say it [[w:Religious views on love#Islam|teaches love]] and there is a very big group of people who really understand the Koran far better than I do. I'm certainly not an expert, to put it mildly. But there's something there that teaches some very negative vibe. I mean things are happening, when you look at people blowing up all over the streets that are in some of the countries over in the [[Middle East]], just blowing up a super market with not even soldiers, just people, when 250 people die in a super market that are shopping, where people die in a store or in a street. There's a lot of hatred there that's some place. Now I don't know if that's from the Koran. I don't know if that's from some place else. But there's tremendous hatred out there that I've never seen anything like it. So, you have two views.

But I speak to [[wikipedia:United States Border Patrol|border guards]] and they tell us what we're getting. ... They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably – probably – from the Middle East. But we don't know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast. * I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. * Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again. ====July 2015==== * '''Donald Trump''': Oh, well, if you look at the statistics, of people coming— I didn't say about Mexic— I say the ''[[illegal immigrants]]''— if you look at the statistics on [[rape]], on [[crime]], on everything, coming in illegally into this country, they're mind-boggling. If you go to [[w:Fusion News|Fusion]], you will see a story about 80% of the women coming in– I mean, you have to take a look at these stories. And you know who owns Fusion? [[w:Univision|Univision]]. It was in ''[[w:The Huffington Post|The Huffington Post]]''. I said, let me get some of these articles because I've heard some horrible things. I deal<!--sic--> a lot of talking with people on the border patrol. They're incredible people. They help our country.<br>'''Don Lemon''': But I want some clarification–<br>'''Trump''': No, but Don, all you have to do is go to Fusion and pick up the stories on ''rape'', and it's unbelievable when you look at what's going on. So all I'm doing is telling the truth.<br>'''Lemon''': I've read ''The Washington Post'', I read the Fusion, I read ''The Huffington Post''. And that's about women ''being'' raped, it's not about criminals coming across the border entering the country.<br>'''Trump''': Somebody's doing the raping, Don, I mean, you know– I mean, somebody's doing it. You think it's women being raped, well who's doing the raping? Who's doing the raping? I mean how can you say such a thing. So, the problem is you have to stop illegal immigration coming across the border. You have to create a strong border. If you don't, we don't have a country. **{{citation | date = 2015-07-01 | title = The Situation Room | medium = TV | publisher = CNN | url = http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/01/politics/donald-trump-immigrants-raping-comments/ }} [[File:Donald_Trump_by_Gage_Skidmore_2.jpg|thumb|I can't apologize for the truth.]] * '''I can never apologize for the truth.

Iran developing a nuclear weapon, either through uranium or nuclear fuel, and defying the world is still a very real possibility. The inspections will not be followed, and Iran will no longer have any sanctions. Iran gets everything and loses nothing. Every promise the Obama Administration made in the beginning of negotiations, including the vow (made at the beginning of the negotiations) to get our great American prisoners returned to the U. S. has been broken. This is a bad deal that sets a dangerous precedent. This deal sets off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, which is the most-unstable region in the world. It is a horrible and perhaps catastrophic event for [[Israel]]. Furthermore, we should have kept the billions of dollars we have agreed to pay them. Any great dealmaker would know this is a perfect example of "tapping along" and because they have been unchecked for so long throughout this extremely lengthy process, I guarantee they are much closer to producing a nuclear weapon than they were at the start of negotiations. The fact is, the US has incompetent leaders and even more incompetent negotiators. We must do better for America and the world.

That will be the foundation of every single decision that I will make. [[America First (policy)|America First]] will be the major and overriding theme of my administration. * Our foreign policy is a complete and total disaster. No vision. No purpose. No direction. No strategy. * [[Barack Obama|President Obama]] has weakened [[United States Armed Forces|our military]] by weakening our economy. He's crippled us with wasteful spending, massive [[National debt|debt]], low growth, a huge trade deficit and open borders. * Our allies are not paying their fair share... The countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense, and if not, the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. We have no choice. * Israel, our great friend and the one true democracy in the Middle East has been snubbed and criticized by an administration that lacks moral clarity... President Obama has not been a friend to Israel. He has treated Iran with tender love and care and made it a great power. * We've let our rivals and challengers think they can get away with anything, and they do... If President Obama's goal had been to weaken America, he could not have done a better job. * We've made the Middle East more unstable and chaotic than ever before. We left Christians subject to intense persecution and even [[genocide]]. We have done nothing to help the Christians, nothing, and we should always be ashamed for that lack of action. * Hillary Clinton refuses to say the words radical Islam, even as she pushes for a massive increase in refugees coming into our country. After Secretary Clinton's failed intervention in Libya, [[wikipedia:2012 Benghazi attack|Islamic terrorists in Benghazi]] took down our consulate and killed our ambassador and three brave Americans. Then, instead of taking charge that night, Hillary Clinton decided to go home and sleep. Incredible. Clinton blames it all on a video, an excuse that was a total lie, proven to be absolutely a total lie. Our ambassador was murdered and our secretary of state misled the nation. * We're also going to have to change our trade, immigration and economic policies to make our economy strong again. And to put Americans first again. This will ensure that our own workers, right here in America, get the jobs and higher pay that will grow our tax revenues, increase our economic might as a nation. * I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia from a position of strength only is possible. * Americans must know that we're putting the American people first again on trade, on immigration, on foreign policy. The jobs, incomes and security of the [[Working class in the United States|American worker]] will always be my first priority. No country has ever prospered that failed to put its own interests first. Both our friends and our enemies put their countries above ours and we, while being fair to them, must start doing the same. We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of [[globalism]]. The nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony. I am skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down, and will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs. ====May 2016==== * We have a 500 billion dollar deficit, trade deficit with China. We're going to turn it around and we have the cards, don't forget, we're like the piggy bank that's being robbed. We have the cards, we have a lot of power with China. When China doesn't want to fix the problem in North Korea we say "Sorry folks, you've got to fix the problem."

The real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed him, and the efforts of these radicals to enter our country to do us further harm. Given the state of the world today, we have to know everything about those looking to enter our country, and given the state of chaos in some of these countries, that is impossible. While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution, (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things. If I become President, I will make America safe again. * Hillary Clinton should be held accountable for her central role in destabilizing the Middle East. She voted to send the United States to war against Iraq, helped lead the disastrous withdrawal of American troops years later that created the vacuum allowing the rise of ISIS, and has never met a [[wikipedia:United States involvement in regime change|regime change]] she didn't like (which have all been disasters) – not to mention her invasion of Libya and her abandonment of American personnel in Benghazi. The loss of these lives in Libya is directly traceable to Clinton, but their families' testimonials were rejected by the media. * Clinton's actions have been reckless and have directly led to the loss of American lives. And her extreme immigration policies, as also laid out by American victims in Cleveland, will cause the preventable deaths of countless more -- while putting all residents, from all places, at greater risk of terrorism. As Bernie Sanders said on numerous occasions, Hillary Clinton suffers from "bad judgement." She is not qualified to serve as Commander in Chief. ** Written statement responding to [[Khizr M.

Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. * Americans watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have witnessed this violence personally. Some have even been its victims. <br /> I have a message for all of you: The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon — and I mean very soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored. <br /> The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. * It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. <br /> So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths — the Democrats are holding their convention next week. Go there. <br /> But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else. * Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this Administration's rollback of criminal enforcement. * America is far less safe – and the world is far less stable – than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America's foreign policy. I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets. Her bad instincts and her bad judgment – something pointed out by Bernie Sanders – are what caused the disasters unfolding today. * This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness. * The problems we face now – [[Poverty in the United States|poverty]] and violence at home, war and destruction abroad – will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them. A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes. * There can be no prosperity without [[wikipedia:Law and order (politics)|law and order]] * Our plan will put America First. [[wikipedia:Americanism (ideology)|Americanism]], not globalism, will be our credo. As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect. * Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total control over everything she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings. That is why Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change. My message is that things have to change – and they have to change right now. * Every day I wake up determined to deliver for the people I have met all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored, and abandoned. I have visited the laid-off factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country, and they are forgotten, but they're not going to be forgotten long. These are people who work hard but no longer have a voice. I AM YOUR VOICE. * I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence, no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens. * When innocent people suffer, because our political system lacks the will, or the courage, or the basic decency to enforce our [[Law|laws]] – or worse still, has sold out to some corporate lobbyist for cash – I am not able to look the other way. * When a [[United States Secretary of State|Secretary of State]] illegally stores her emails on a private server, deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities can't see her crime, puts our country at risk, lies about it in every different form and faces no consequence – I know that corruption has reached a level like never before. * I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves. '''Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it'''. <br /> I have seen firsthand how the system is rigged against our citizens, just like it was rigged against Bernie Sanders – he never had a chance. * [[Mike Pence|He]] (Mike Pence) is a man of character and accomplishment. He is the right man for the job. * An attack on law enforcement is an attack on all Americans. I have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our streets and the safety of our police: when I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order our country. * In this race for the White House, I am the Law And Order candidate. ... I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally, and protected equally. ** "I am the law-and-order candidate" was a phrase used by [[Richard Nixon]] during his [[w:Richard Nixon 1968 presidential campaign|1968 presidential campaign]]. * Once again, [[France]] is the [[wikipedia:2016 Nice attack|victim of brutal Islamic terrorism]]. Men, women and children viciously mowed down. Lives ruined. Families ripped apart. A nation in mourning. * I will do everything in my power to protect our [[LGBT]] citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. * We must work with all of our allies who share our goal of destroying ISIS and stamping out Islamic terror. This includes working with our greatest ally in the region, the State of Israel. * We must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. * I only want to admit individuals into our country who will support our values and love our people. Anyone who endorses violence, hatred or oppression is not welcome in our country and never will be. * Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people. * Of all my travels in this country, nothing has affected me more deeply than the time I have spent with the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence spilling across our border. * We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. * We are going to be considerate and compassionate to everyone. But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens. * I pledge to never sign any trade agreement that hurts our workers, or that diminishes our freedom and independence. Instead, I will make individual deals with individual countries. * No longer will we enter into these massive deals, with many countries, that are thousands of pages long – and which no one from our country even reads or understands. We are going to enforce all trade violations, including through the use of taxes and tariffs, against any country that cheats. * My Dad, {{w|Fred Trump}}, was the smartest and hardest working man I ever knew. * America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. * All of the people telling you that you can't have the country you want, are the same people telling you that I wouldn't be standing here tonight. No longer can we rely on those elites in media, and politics, who will say anything to keep a rigged system in place. * My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three word loyalty pledge. It reads, "I'm with her." I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads, "I'm with you – the American people." I am your voice. So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for a better future, I say these words to you tonight: I'm with you, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you. To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and towns, I make this promise: We will make America proud again, we will make America strong again, we will make America safe again, and we will Make America Great Again!

If Hillary Clinton's goal was to inflict pain on the African-American community, she could not have done a better job. It's a disgrace. Tonight, I'm asking for the vote of every single African-American citizen in this country who wants to see a better future. The inner cities of our country have been run by the Democratic party for more than fifty years. Their policies have reduced only [[Poverty in the United States|poverty]], joblessness, failing schools and broken homes. It's time to hold Democratic politicians accountable for what they have done to these communities. At what point do we say, "enough?" It's time to hold failed leaders accountable for their results not just their empty words over and over again. Look at what the Democratic party has done to the city as an example and there are many others of Detroit: forty percent of Detroit's residents live in poverty. Half of all Detroit residents do not work and cannot work and can't get a job. Detroit tops the list of most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. This is the legacy of the Democratic politicians who have run this city. This is the result of the policy agenda embraced by Hillary Clinton: thirty-three thousand emails gone. The only way to change results is to change leadership. We can never fix our problems by relying on the same politicians who created our problems in the first place. A new future requires brand new leadership. Look how much African-American communities suffered under Democratic control. To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump. What do you have to lose? I say it again, what do you have to lose. Look, what do you have to lose? You're living your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs. Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed? What the hell do you have to lose? And at the end of four years, I guarantee you, that I will get over ninety-five percent of the African-American vote.

And once you say you're going to have to tax them coming in, and our politicians never do this, because they have special interests and the special interests want those companies to leave, because in many cases, they own the companies. So what I'm saying is, we can stop them from leaving. We have to stop them from leaving. And that's a big, big factor. * '''CLINTON''': Donald was one of the people who rooted for the [[wikipedia:United States housing bubble|housing crisis]]. He said, back in 2006, "Gee, I hope it does collapse, because then I can go in and buy some and make some money." Well, it did collapse. : '''TRUMP''': That's called business, by the way. * We invested in a solar company, our country. That was a disaster. They lost plenty of money on that one. Now, look, I'm a great believer in all forms of [[energy]], but we're putting a lot of people out of work. Our energy policies are a disaster. Our country is losing so much in terms of energy, in terms of paying off our debt. You can't do what you're looking to do with $20 trillion in debt. The Obama administration, from the time they've come in, is over 230 years' worth of debt, and he's topped it. He's doubled it in a course of almost eight years, seven-and-a-half years, to be semi- exact. * We have to do a much better job at giving companies incentives to build new companies or to expand, because they're not doing it. * NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. And now you [Hillary Clinton] [[wikipedia:Political positions of Hillary Clinton#Trans-Pacific_Partnership|want to approve Trans-Pacific Partnership]]. You were totally in favor of it. Then you heard what I was saying, how bad it is, and you said, I can't win that debate. But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA. Nothing will ever top NAFTA. * You are going to approve one of the [[wikipedia:Political positions of Hillary Clinton#Fiscal_policy_and_taxation|biggest tax cuts in history]]. You are going to approve one of the biggest tax increases in history. You are going to drive business out. Your regulations are a disaster, and you're going to increase regulations all over the place. And by the way, my tax cut is the biggest since [[wikipedia:Reaganomics|Ronald Reagan]]. I'm very proud of it. It will create tremendous numbers of new jobs. But regulations, you are going to regulate these businesses out of existence. ... The things that business as in people like the most is the fact that I'm cutting regulation. You have regulations on top of regulations, and new companies cannot form and old companies are going out of business. And you want to increase the regulations and make them even worse. I'm going to cut regulations. I'm going to cut taxes big league, and you're going to raise taxes big league, end of story. * She's telling us how to fight ISIS. Just go to her website. She tells you how to fight ISIS on her website. I don't think General [[Douglas MacArthur]] would like that too much. ... See, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do. No wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life. * I'm really calling for major jobs, because the wealthy are going create tremendous jobs. They're going to expand their companies. They're going to do a tremendous job. I'm getting rid of the carried interest provision. And if you really look, it's not a tax -- it's really not a great thing for the wealthy. It's a great thing for the middle class. It's a great thing for companies to expand. * We have the worst revival of an economy since the [[Great Depression]]. And believe me: '''We're in a bubble right now. And the only thing that looks good is the [[stock market]], but if you raise [[interest]] rates even a little bit, that's going to come [[Stock market crash|crashing down]].''' * I will release them as soon as the [[Auditor|audit]]. Look, I've been under audit almost for 15 years. I know a lot of wealthy people that have never been audited. I said, do you get audited? I get audited almost every year. And in a way, I should be complaining. I'm not even complaining. I don't mind it. It's almost become a way of life. I get audited by the [[IRS]]. But other people don't. I will say this. We have a situation in this country that has to be taken care of. I will release my tax returns -- against my lawyer's wishes -- when she [Hillary Clinton] releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. As soon as she releases them, I will release. ** About releasing his tax returns. * That makes me smart. ** About that Trump didn't pay [[wikipedia:Income tax in the United States|federal income taxes]]. * That was more than a mistake. That was done purposely. OK? That was not a mistake. That was done purposely. When you have your staff taking the [[Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fifth Amendment]], taking the Fifth so they're not prosecuted, when you have the man that set up the illegal server taking the Fifth, I think it's disgraceful. ** About {{w|Hillary Clinton email controversy}} * As far as my tax returns, you don't learn that much from tax returns. That I can tell you. You learn a lot from financial disclosure. And you should go down and take a look at that. * I am very under[[wiktionary:leverage|leveraged]]. I have a great company. I have a tremendous income. And the reason I say that is not in a braggadocios way. It's because it's about time that this country had somebody running it that has an idea about money. * Maybe he didn't do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work ... On occasion, four times, we used certain laws that are there. And when Secretary Clinton talks about people that didn't get paid, first of all, they did get paid a lot, but taken advantage of the laws of the nation. Now, if you want to change the laws, you've been there a long time, change the laws. But I take advantage of the laws of the nation because I'm running a company. My obligation right now is to do well for myself, my family, my employees, for my companies. And that's what I do. ... She [Hillary Clinton] doesn't say is that tens of thousands of people that are unbelievably happy and that love me. ** About not having paid to some of his employees. * We need law and order. If we don't have it, we're not going to have a country. ... We need law and order in our country. * We have a situation where we have our inner cities, [[African American|African- Americans]], [[w:Hispanic American|Hispanics]] are living in hell because it's so dangerous. You walk down the street, you get shot. * Now, whether or not in a place like Chicago you do [[wikipedia:Frisking|stop and frisk]], which worked very well, [[Rudy Giuliani|Mayor Giuliani]] is here, [[wikipedia:Stop-and-frisk in New York City|worked very well in New York]]. It brought the crime rate way down. But you take the gun away from criminals that shouldn't be having it. We have [[wikipedia:Gangs in the United States|gangs roaming the street]]. And in many cases, they're illegally here, [[illegal immigrants]]. And they have guns. And they shoot people. And we have to be very strong. And we have to be very vigilant. * Our police, in many cases, are afraid to do anything. We have to protect our inner cities, because African-American communities are being decimated by crime, decimated. * '''HOLT''': Stop-and-frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young men. : '''TRUMP''': No, you're wrong. It went before a judge, who was a very against-police judge. It was taken away from her. And our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. They would have won an appeal. If you look at it, throughout the country, there are many places where it's allowed. : '''HOLT''': The argument is that it's a form of racial profiling. : '''TRUMP''': No, the argument is that we have to take the guns away from these people that have them and they are bad people that shouldn't have them. * You need more police. You need a better community, you know, relation. ... You need better relationships between the communities and the police, because in some cases, it's not good. * So when you [Hillary Clinton] tried to act holier than thou, it really doesn't work. It really doesn't. * We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that [[wikipedia:Democratic National Committee cyber attacks|broke into the DNC]]. She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't -- maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? * We have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. * President Obama and Secretary Clinton created a vacuum the way they got [[wikipedia:Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq|out of Iraq]], because they got out -- what, they shouldn't have been in, but once they got in, the way they got out was a disaster. And ISIS was formed. * I said it to you once, had we taken the [[oil]] -- and we should have taken the oil -- ISIS would not have been able to form either, because the [[wikipedia:Oil production and smuggling in ISIL|oil was their primary source of income]]. And now they have the oil all over the place, including the oil -- a lot of the oil in Libya, which was another one of her disasters. * You [Hillary Clinton] look at the Middle East, you started the Iran deal, that's another beauty where you have a country that was ready to fall, I mean, they were doing so badly. They were choking on the sanctions. And now they're going to be actually probably a major power at some point pretty soon, the way they're going. * I think we have to get [[NATO]] to go into the Middle East with us, in addition to surrounding nations, and we have to knock the hell out of ISIS, and we have to do it fast, when ISIS formed in this vacuum created by Barack Obama and Secretary Clinton. And believe me, you were the ones that took out the troops. ... When they formed, this is something that never should have happened. It should have never happened. Now, you're talking about taking out ISIS. But you were there, and you were secretary of state when it was a little infant. Now it's in over 30 countries. And you're going to stop them? I don't think so. * I think the best person in her [Clinton's] campaign is mainstream media. * The single greatest problem the world has is nuclear armament, nuclear weapons, not global warming, like you think and your -- your president thinks. ====October 2016==== * I'd never withdraw.

The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that funded exist for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. As an example, just one single trade deal they'd like to pass involves trillions of dollars controlled by many countries, corporations, and lobbyists.

The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China and other countries all around the world. It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.

But they're giving up a lot. I mean some are giving up tremendous businesses in order to sit for four or maybe eight or whatever the period of time is. But I think we're going to see some tremendous talent, tremendous talent coming in. We have many people for every job. I mean no matter what the job is, we have many incredible people. I think, [[wikipedia:Reince Priebus|Reince]], you can sort of just confirm that. The quality of the people is very good. ... We're trying very hard to get the best people. Not necessarily people that will be the most politically correct people, because that hasn't been working. So we have really experts in the field. Some are known and some are not known, but they're known within their field as being the best. That's very important to me. * I think the popular vote would have been easier in a true sense because you'd go to a few places. I think that's the genius of the [[w:United States Electoral College|Electoral College]]. I was never a fan of the Electoral College until now. * What we do want to do is we want to bring the country together, because the country is very, very divided, and that's one thing I did see, big league. It's very, very divided, and I'm going to work very hard to bring the country together. * I want to move forward, I don't want to move back. And I don't want to hurt the Clintons. I really don't. She went through a lot. And suffered greatly in many different ways. And I am not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious. They say it was the most vicious primary and the most vicious campaign. I guess, added together, it was definitely the most vicious; probably, I assume you sold a lot of newspapers. ... It's just not something that I feel very strongly about. ... I'm not looking to look back and go through this. This was a very painful period. This was a very painful election with all of the email things and all of the foundation things and all of the everything that they went through and the whole country went through. This was a very painful period of time. ** About not prosecuting Hillary Clinton. * Our country's really in bad, big trouble. We have a lot of trouble. A lot of problems. And one of the big problems, I talk about, [[divisiveness]]. I think that a lot of people will appreciate … I'm not doing it for that reason. I'm doing it because it's time to go in a different direction. * '''Clean air is vitally important. Clean water, crystal clean water is vitally important. Safety is vitally important.''' * Sometimes I'll say I'm actually an [[environmentalist]] and people will smile in some cases and other people that know me understand that's true. Open mind. * We're not a competitive nation with other nations anymore. We have to make ourselves competitive. We're not competitive for a lot of reasons. That's becoming more and more of the reason. Because a lot of these countries that we do business with, they make deals with our president, or whoever, and then they don't adhere to the deals, you know that. And it's much less expensive for their companies to produce products. So I'm going to be studying that very hard, and I think I have a very big voice in it. And I think my voice is listened to, especially by people that don't believe in it. And we'll let you know. * As far as the, you know, potential conflict of interests, though, I mean I know that from the standpoint, the law is totally on my side, meaning, the president can't have a conflict of interest. That's been reported very widely. Despite that, I don't want there to be a conflict of interest anyway. And the laws, the president can't. And I understand why the president can't have a conflict of interest now because everything a president does in some ways is like a conflict of interest. * I don't care about my company. ... Because it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to me is running our country. * It's hard to explain. I don't care about anything having to do with anything having to do with anything other than the country. * In theory I could run my business perfectly, and then run the country perfectly. And there's never been a case like this where somebody's had, like, if you look at other people of wealth, they didn't have this kind of asset and this kind of wealth, frankly. It's just a different thing. * I've known [[Steve Bannon]] a long time. If I thought he was a [[Racism in the United States|racist]], or [[alt-right]], or any of the things that we can, you know, the terms we can use, I wouldn't even think about hiring him. First of all, I'm the one that makes the decision, not Steve Bannon or anybody else. * To me more important is taking care of the people that really have proven to be, to love Donald Trump, as opposed to the political people. And frankly if the political people don't take care of these people, they're not going to win and you're going to end up with maybe a total different kind of government than what you're looking at right now. These people are really angry. They're smart, they're workers, and they're angry. I call them the forgotten men and women. And I use that in speeches, I say they're the forgotten people — they were totally forgotten. * I would love to be able to be the one that made peace with Israel and the Palestinians. I would love that, that would be such a great achievement. Because nobody's been able to do it. ... I've had a lot of, actually, great Israeli businesspeople tell me, you can't do that, it's impossible. I disagree, I think you can make peace. I think people are tired now of being shot, killed. At some point, when do they come? I think we can do that. I have reason to believe I can do that. * [[The Times]] is, it's a great, great American jewel.

It’s our declaration of economic independence. …now it’s our turn to prosper and in so doing use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt and it will all happen very quickly. With today’s action we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before. *Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base. We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers. And ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers. This will be indeed the golden age of America. It’s coming back and we’re going to come back very strongly. *From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the 1880s, they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting….<br>Then in 1913, for reasons unknown to mankind, they established the income tax so that citizens rather than foreign countries would start paying the money necessary to run our government. Then in 1929, it all came to a very abrupt end with the Great Depression, and it would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy. It would have been a much different story.<br>They tried to bring back tariffs to save our country, but it was gone. It was gone. It was too late. Nothing could have been done. It took years and years to get out of that depression, far longer than even FDR had that office right over there for a long period of time. *We will charge them approximately half of what they are and have been charging us because we are being very kind. This is not full reciprocal. This is kind reciprocal. *In short, chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem. They're a national emergency that threatens our security and our very way of life. It's a very great threat to our country. *These tariffs are going to give us growth like you haven’t seen before.

You're not too young. You can have great success at a very young age ... In America, with drive and ambition, young people can do anything." # "You have to love what you do. You have to. I rarely see somebody that's successful that doesn't love what he or she does ... If I didn't find it fun, I wouldn't be successful." # "The third thing is to think big. If you're going to do something, you might as well think big. I know a lot of people, they've thought small, they were very smart. I know others that weren't nearly as smart, but they had a better picture of the big picture, because it's just as hard to solve a small problem as a big problem and it's just as much energy and everything else, except the result is going to be a smaller one. So love what you do and think big if it's possible." # "Work hard. Never, ever stop," Trump said, before mentioning pro golf legend Gary Player. The president said Player "wasn't as big as other men, he was on the small side ... but he worked very, very hard. He made up for it. He never stopped." # "Don't lose your momentum. You just want to keep it going. And you have to know, if you are losing it, you have to know when you are losing it, so maybe you stop and maybe it's time to stop. Listen to the feedback, think through your plan very carefully and keep moving fast." # "If you want to change the world, you have to have the courage to be an outsider. In other words, you have to take certain risks and do things a little bit differently; otherwise, if that were the case, everybody would be successful. Doesn't work that way. Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of a broken system; it comes from those who want to fix the broken system. If you want to go to the top, you're just never going to do it unless you break the system ... You really do, you have to break the system a little bit and follow your own instincts. But if your vision is right, nothing will hold you down. Nothing. You have to have the right vision." # "Trust your instincts. Common sense. You can go very far in life with common sense and I applied that to politics because some of these things, like, they had open borders. Let everybody in the whole world flow into our country. That's not common sense." # "Everybody should believe in the American dream. It's real, it's there and it's right before you." # "Think of yourself as a winner. The power of positive thinking. Don't consider yourself a victim. Consider yourself a winner. In recent years, too many of our young people have really been taught to think of themselves as victims and blame people and be angry. Don't be angry. In America, we reject that idea that anyone is born a victim. Our heroes are the ones who take charge of their own destiny, make their own luck and determine their own fate, despite the odds." # "Be an original," Trump said as his penultimate piece of advice for the graduating class. "The all-time greats were people who had the confidence to be a little different ... God only created one of you. Remember that. You're all different, some are close, but nobody is the same. You're one of a kind so don't try to be someone else. Just be yourself." # "Never, ever give up. Never give up. Don't stop. Never, ever give up. Victory is right around the corner." ==== June 2025 ==== *The horrific decision stated that I would have to get the approval of Congress for these Tariffs.

I wondered, “Was it vandalism or, was it stupidity?” Lo and behold, because of the fact that we’ve installed the finest security equipment anywhere, they brought back the stupid people, with their boss watching (in sunglasses!).

When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration, and it’s when we first began hearing the word affordability. *Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history. *For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists and, above all, foreign nations, which took advantage of us at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens. They decimated your hard-earned savings. They indoctrinated your children with hate for America, released, really, I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen to prey on innocent. They caused war. They caused mayhem. They caused a horrible situation all over the globe. *Here at home, we are bringing our economy back from the brink of ruin. The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our Treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast. *Democrat politicians also sent the cost of groceries soaring, but we are solving that, too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down 33 percent compared to the Biden last year. The price of eggs is down 82 percent since March, and everything else is falling rapidly. And it’s not done yet, but boy, are we making progress. Nobody can believe what’s going on. *Already, I’ve secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings and far greater national security. Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us, but not anymore. *One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that’s said by every single leader that I’ve spoken to over the last five months. *I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations, which were taken advantage of our country for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500 and even 600 percent. *The current unaffordable care act was created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health care at much too high a cost, and you see that now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they are demanding those increases and it’s their fault. It is not the Republicans’ fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault. It’s the unaffordable care act, and everybody knew it.<br>Again, I want the money to go directly to the people so you can buy your own health care. You’ll get much better health care at a much lower price. The only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten rich, and the Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies. They will not be happy, but that’s OK with me because you, the people, are finally going to be getting great health care at a lower cost. *On Day 1, I declared a national energy emergency. Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon, and in much of the country, in some states, it, by the way, just hit $1.99 a gallon. *Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation has stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back, stronger than ever before. We’re poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen. Soon we will host the World Cup and the Olympics, both of which I got. But most importantly, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.<br>There could be no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago. When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its workers, confident to its identity, certain to its destiny and the envy of the entire globe. We are respected again, like we have never been respected before. **[https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/politics/trump-speech-transcript-economy.html Full Transcript of President Trump’s Speech on the Economy] ''The New York Times'' (December 17, 2025) ** [https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/17/politics/fact-check-trump-prime-time-address "Fact check: Trump repeats numerous false claims in prime-time address"] ''CNN'' (December 18, 2025) ===2026=== ====January 2026==== *Peace.

Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war.]] * A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. A vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. * Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror, and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon. * They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing the long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas, and could soon reach the American homeland. Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had, and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. <br /> For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces, and no longer use their IEDs, or roadside bombs as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon. * This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces. I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration and there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength or sophistication. My administration is taking every possible step to minimize the risk to U.S. personnel in the region. Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. But we're doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future. And it is a noble mission. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way. And we trust that with his help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail. We have the greatest in the world, and they will prevail. * To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity. Or in the alternative, face certain death. So, lay down your arms. You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. <br /> For many years, you have asked for America's help. But you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny, and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass. ==== March 2026 ==== {{See also|2026 Iran war}} * There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! * IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE.

And this was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press. And in a certain way it did because the fact that they just unified, I saw a room that was just totally unified. It was in one way, very beautiful. A very beautiful thing to see. * A tape showing the violence of this thug that attacked our constitution and also showing how quickly Secret Service and law enforcement acted on our country's behalf, really did a great job. <br /> One officer was shot, but saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest. He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun. And the vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great. He's great shape. He has very high spirits and we told him we love him and respect him. And he's a very proud guy. He's very proud of what he does, Secret Service agent. And we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight. And I will say, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's a much more secure. It's got, it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. <br /> We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today's a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. But everyone owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the courage of law enforcement. * So as you know, this is not the first time in the past couple of years that our republic been attacked by a would be assassin who sought to kill in Butler, Pennsylvania less than two years ago. <br /> You all know that story. And in Palm Beach, Florida, a few months after that, we came close. We really had, again, we had some great work done by law enforcement. But in light of this evening's events, I asked that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our difference peacefully. We have to resolve our differences. I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, independents, conservatives, liberals, and progressives. Those words are interchangeable, perhaps but maybe they're not. But yet everybody in that room, big crowd, record-setting crowd, there was a record-setting group of people, and there was a tremendous amount of love and coming together. I watched and I was very, very impressed by that. * I told the representatives of the evening, they did such a beautiful job, was such a beautiful evening. And again, they're talking about free speech in our [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]. That's what it's all about. Not just White House correspondence. It was really based on free speech in our Constitution. But I said very importantly that we'll do it again within the next 30 days. It will make it bigger and better and even nicer. So I just want to thank everybody that was involved. I also want to thank the press, the media. You've been very responsible in your coverage. I will say I've been seeing what's been out and you've been very responsible. ==== May 2026 ==== : ''About the 2026 midterm election:'' * It is a problem I'm not on the ballot.

They follow Nita and Kit, a fourteen year old girl and a twelve year old boy, who become wizards. == [[wikipedia:So You Want to Be a Wizard|So You Want to Be a Wizard]] == "Reading one book is like eating one potato chip," she said. (Mrs. Lesser to Nita.)<br/> <hr width="50%"> In Life's name and for Life's sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so -- till Universe's end.<br/> -''The Wizard's Oath'' <hr width="50%"> I am the wind that troubles the water;<br/> I am the water, and the waves;<br/> I am the shore where the waves break in rainbows;<br/> I am the sunlight that shines in the spray;<br/> I am the trees that drink in the light;<br/> I am the air of the green-things' breathing;<br/> I am the stone that the trees break asunder;<br/> I am the molten heart of the world-<br/> where will you go? To what place will you wander?<br/> ...in vale or on hilltop, still I am there...<br/> Will you sound the sea's depth, or climb the mountain?<br/> In air or in water, still I am there;<br/> Will the earth cover you? Will the night hide you?<br/> In deep or in darkness, still I am there<br/> Will you kindle the nova? Or kill the starlight?<br/> In fire or in deathcold, still I am there-<br/> -Life's ''"I Am"'' <hr width= "50%"> "NO!" he cried from somewhere behind the trees, wild, furious, terrified. But Nita felt no fear. It was as it had been in the beginning- all of his "NOs" had never been able to stop Life's ''I Am.'' <hr width= "50%"> The Moon went out. <hr width="50%"> (Dear Artificer,) it said in a bemused delight, (I've blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place!) <hr width="50%"> "The one who saw the light come to be and declared a war of darkness. Though the rebellion didn't work as well as it might have, for darkness only made the light seem brighter." <hr width="50%"> "Are you the Advisory?" Kit said.<br/> Tom's eyebrows went up. "You kids having a spelling problem?" <hr width="50%"> "Don't be afraid to make corrections," Picchu said. "Don't be afraid to lend a hand." She fell silent, seeming to think for a moment. "And don't look down." <hr width="50%"/> Halfway out the bedroom door, realization dawned in her sister's eyes. "Maaaaa!" she yelled out the door, strangling in her own laughter. "Nita's got a boyfriend!" <hr width="50%"/> "This is ''not'' a nice place." (Nita) <hr width="50%"/> All around her trees and stones and flesh and metal burned with the power that burned her, self awareness, which death can seem to stop but can never keep from happening, no matter how hard it tries. <hr width="50%"/> ''Don't be afraid to make corrections!'' Whether the voice came from her memory or was a last whisper from the blinding new star far above, Nita never knew. But she knew what to do. While Kit was still on the first part of the name she pulled out her pen, her best pen that Fred had saved and changed. She clicked it open. The metal still tingled against her skin, the ink at the point still glittered oddly- the same glitter as the ink with which the bright ''Book'' was written. Nita bent quickly over the ''Book'' and with the pen, in lines of light, drew from the final circle an arrow pointing upward, the way out, the symbol that said change could happen- if, only if- <hr width="50%"/> The city breathing, burning, living the life they had preserved. Ten million lives and more. ''If something should happen to all that life- how terrible!'' Nita gulped for control as she remembered Fred's word of just this morning, an eternity ago. And this was what being a wizard was about. Keeping terrible things from happening, even when it hurts. Not just power, or control of what ordinary people couldn't control, or delight in being able to make strange things happen. Those were the side effects- not the reason, the purpose. <hr width="50%"/> Nita stood still, listening to Joanne's footsteps hurrying away, a little faster every second- and slowly began to realize that she'd gotten what she asked for too- the ability to break the cycle of anger and loneliness, not necessarily for others, but at least for herself. It wouldn't even take the Speech; plain words would do it, and the magic of reaching out. It would take a long time, much longer then something simple like breaking the walls of the worlds, and it would cost more effort than even reading the ''Book of Night with Moon.'' But it would be worth it- and eventually it would work. A spell always works. Nita went home. <hr width="50%"/> Fred started to follow, but Nita caught him in cupped hands, holding him back for a moment. ''Fred! Did we do right?'' Even here she couldn't keep the pain out of her question, the fear that she could have somehow have prevented his death. But Fred radiated a serene and wondering joy that took her breath and reassured her and filled her with wonder to match his, all at once. ''Go find out,'' he said. <hr width="50%"/> My gnaester will never be the same. (Fred) <hr width="50%"/> "You're wizards, you should know how terrible a weapon belief is, especially in the wrong hands. And how do you tell which hands are wrong?" (Fred) <hr width="50%"/> You have your own stories to write. And when it comes to that, who writes the things written in your body, your life? And who reads? (Liused) <hr width="50%"/> Do I throw money on your living room floor? (One of the koi) <hr width="50%"/> “I checked the book and it said I was missing an element.” He looked questioningly at Nita. “Maybe you’re it?” (Kit) <hr width="50%"/> “My name is Kairelikoblepharehglukumeilichepheidosd’enagouni – ” / “Ky – elik – ” Nita began. / “Fred.” Kit said quickly <hr width="50%"/> Fred hiccupped; the resulting explosion produced six black star sapphires the size of tennis balls. / “Fred here,” Tom said, “has a small problem.” / “I wish ''I'' had problems like that.” (Carl) <hr width="50%"/> “Want to buy a piece of next Thursday?” (Tom) <hr width="50%"/> “One false syllable in a spell and you may wind up in Schenectady.” (Carl) / “Is that another world?” Fred asked. / “Nearly.” Carl laughed. / <hr width="50%"/> “I wonder how much trouble you get in for busting a worldgate.” Kit muttered. <hr width="50%"/> “Anyway, ''you'' don’t have to worry, I’ll do it myself.” (Kit) / “Oh, no, you’re not,” she said. “If you’re doing it, I’m doing it, too. Whatever you’re doing…” (Nita) <hr width="50%"/> “Let me do it,” she said, not looking at Kit. (Nita) / He glanced up from the manual, stared at her. “Bull,” he said, and then looked down at the manual again. “If you’re gonna do it, ''I’m'' gonna do it.” == [[wikipedia:Deep Wizardry|Deep Wizardry]] == Must I accept this Barren Gift?<br/> :-learn death, and lose my Mastery?<br/> Then let them know whose blood and breath<br/> :will take the Gift and set them free:<br/> whose is the voice and whose the mind<br/> :to set at naught the well-sung Game-<br/> when finned Finality arrives<br/> :and calls me by my secret Name.<br/> Not old enough to love as yet,<br/> :but old enough to die, indeed.<br/> the death-fear bites my throat and heart, <br/> :fanged cousin to the Pale One's breed.<br/> But past my fear lies life for all-<br/> :perhaps for me: and, past my dread,<br/> past loss of Mastery and life, <br/> :the Sea shall yet give up Her dead!<br/> (from the ''Song of the Twelve'') <hr width="50%"> Blood in the water I sing,<br/> :and one who shed it:<br/> deadliest hunger I sing,<br/> :and one who fed it-<br/> weaving the ancient-most tale<br/> :of the Sea's sending:<br/> singing the tragedy,<br/> :singing the joy unending.<br/> This is our shame-<br/> :this is the whole Ocean's glory:<br/> this is the Song of the Twelve.<br/> :Hark to to the story!<br/> Hearken, and bring it to pass:<br/> :swift, lest the sorrow<br/> long ago laid to its rest<br/> :devour us tomorrow!<br/> (from the ''Song of the Twelve'') <hr width="50%"> Lone Power,<br/> :I accept your gift:<br/> But take my gift,<br/> :of equal worth;<br/> I take Death with me,<br/> :out of time,:<br/> and make of it a path,<br/> :a birth!<br/> Let the teeth come-<br/> :as they tear me:<br/> they tear your ancient hate<br/> :for aye.<br/> So rage, proud Power,:<br/> :fail again,<br/> and see my blood<br/> :teach death to die!<br/> (from the ''Song of the Twelve'' as performed by The Master Shark) <hr width="50%"> "''Go ahead! Panic!''" screamed Picchu from somewhere in the background. "Do it now and avoid the June rush! Fear death by water!" <hr width="50%"> "Uh, Ed- ed'Rak-" Nita stopped short, unable remember the rest of his name as anything but the sound of gnashing teeth. "Look, can I call you Ed?" <hr width="50%"> "Ed," she said slowly and carefully, "are you trying to say that you're planning to ''eat'' me sometime soon?"<br/> :"The day after tomorrow," said the Master shark in perfect calm, "if we keep to schedule." <hr width="50%"> "I saw you disappear. Where'd'ja take them?"<br/> :"The Moon."<br/> :"Oh come ''on'', Neets."<br/> :"Dairine," Kit said from the doorway. "Catch."<br/> : Nita glanced up, saw her sister reach up and pick something out of the air: an irregular piece of pale, grainy stone, about the size and shape of an eraser. "What is this, pumice?" There was moment of shocked silence; and then Dairine's voice scaled up to an aggrieved shriek. "You ''did'' go to the Moon! And you didn't take ''me''! You, you-" <hr width="50%"/> "Do what the night tells you. Don't be afraid to give yourself away. And read the fine print before you sign!" (Peach) <hr width="50%"/> He would doubtless have gone on with more of the same if someone else, farther away from his end of the line, hadn't begun screaming, "Hel-LOOOOOOO! HEL-lo!" in a creaky, high-pitched voice that sounded as if Tom were keeping his insane grandmother chained up in the living room.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> Peach screamed, and Annie and Monty the sheepdogs barked irritably at the macaw, who was shouting, "Bad dog! Bad dog! Nonono!" at them--or possibly at Carl.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Violence! You want violence, I'll give you violence! No quarter asked or given! Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Don't give up the AWWWK!" (Peach)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "And we will cause it to be well made, this Sacrifice. You, young and never loving; I, old and never loved. Such a Song the Sea will never have seen." (Ed)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Look out! She's on the stove. Get her--oh, Lord. There go the eggs. You little cannibal!"<br /> == [[wikipedia:High Wizardry|High Wizardry]] == "I didn't do it for you 'some'; I did it for you, 'pretty much'." (Nita to wizardly partner Kit.) <hr width="50%"> "Kit, you wanna see a disaster?" (Nita to Kit regarding her parents' attempts to set up their first computer.) <hr width="50%"/> "You know Neets, I don't often hear you think lately, but if your dad had just heard what you thought, he'd have washed your head out with soap!" (Kit) <hr width="50%"/> "Power," Nita heard her father say behind her. "Creation. Forces from before time. This is--this business is for saints, not children!" "Even saints have to start somewhere," Carl said softly. "And it's always been the children who have saved the universe from the previous generation and remade the universe in their own image." <hr width="50%"/> "But Darth Vader's not real!"<br/> "Not here. Be glad." (Carl to Kit's mother) <hr width="50%"/> "Never think it," said the Defender, beneficent lightnings flickering about Her as other forms and other attributes came and went in glory; "never think We were made to be less than equals in the One. Someday you'll surpass Us, and still be Our equals, and both You and We will rejoice at it. But later for that. Brother, get up now and see the way home. Let them see what they have triumphed over." (The Winged Defender) == [[wikipedia:A Wizard Abroad|A Wizard Abroad]] == "Uh, Annie, your cat just went up the chimney!" (Kit)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "What I ''really'' need right now in terms of energy is a chocolate bar," she said, "but the only thing I've got left in my pack is a cat. And I can't eat that." She made an amused face. "Too many bones." (Nita)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Better apologize to her before she turns you into a soggy beermat." (Johnny to Ronan)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Oh, I don't know. You might be good for something. Scrubbing the floors...washing the dishes..." (Kit to Nita)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "No, I will ''not'' move your planet! What do you want to move it ''for''? It's fine right where it is!" (Dairine)<br /> == [[wikipedia:The Wizard's Dilemma|The Wizard's Dilemma]] == "It counts for more when someone brings roses home if he's not also the florist!" (Mrs. Callahan)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Mom, I promise you, none of the 'wolves' are going to touch me. I just want to look normal. If I can't ''be'' normal, let me at least simulate the effect!" (Nita)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> She opened her eyes again to find Dairine staring at her as if she were something from Mars. Actually, Dairine had stared at things from Mars with a lot less astonishment.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> But then Kit dismissed the idea; Neets didn't wear skirts that short. ''And it's a shame'', said some unrepentant part of his mind.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> The Pig gave him a shocked look, and then laughed out loud. "You simian-descended, equivocating, pronoun-starved little mortal twerp," it said. "Maybe the universe does favor young wizards because they haven't properly mastered the Speech's plurals yet. We really have to look into that."<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "How can I save her?" (Kit to the Pig)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "There are occupational hazards to being a god." <hr width="50%"/> If you can't put together what you were with what you are now - so you can make up for your mistakes and not make the same ones again - then what's the point? This isn't about reversing anything. It's about going forward. == [[wikipedia:A Wizard Alone|A Wizard Alone]] == "Virtue," he said. "The real thing. It's not some kind of cuddly teddy bear you can keep on the shelf until you need a hug. It's dangerous, which is why it makes people so nervous. Virtue has its own agenda, and believe me, it's not always yours. The word itself means strength, power. And when it gets loose, you'd better watch out." "Something bad might happen..." "Impossible. But possibly something painful."<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "We're expert enough to change the laws of physics temporarily... How hard can wiring be?" (Carl)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> Carl came up from the basement with a very large roll of duct tape. "Ah," Tom said. "The substance that binds the universe together." "We'll see," Carl said, and bent himself over sideways again. "It's a brute force solution," Tom said. "Inelegant. The phone's right there!"<br /> <hr width="50%"/> The Lone Power's favorite tool, entropy, had already struck locally: His cornflakes had gone soggy.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "The One has better things to do than micromanage."<br /> <hr width="50%"/> “Come on, you guys,” he said in the Speech. “All I’m asking for here is a little cooperation – ” (Kit) / “No surrender!” shouted the remote. / “Death before dishonor!” shouted the DVD player. <hr width="50%"/> "Explaining the differences of communications between you and me and you and Nita might make more trouble than it’s worth.” (Tom) <hr width="50%"/> “Let’s not get overly tangled up in details at the moment.” (Carl) / “From a man in your position, that has a hollow ring,” Tom said. / “Sure, go ahead, mock me in my torment.” (Carl) <hr width="50%"/> “It’s real basic, Mama,” Kit said. “Boy meets girl, meets thing, meets other thing. Boy loses girl, loses other thing, finds thing. Boy loses thing, gets girl, loses thing. Happily ever after...” / “‘Basic,’ you said?” (Marina) / “Old, old story, Mama. You should see some of these guys’ literature. Shakespeare would have loved it....Just imagine ''A Midsummer Night’s Dream'' with twelve extra genders...” <hr width="50%"/> “You go where you shouldn’t go,” Kit said, and couldn’t help grinning, “you find out stuff you shouldn’t find out. Like how you taste in a sweet-and-sour sauce with galingale. The universe is full of little surprises.” / “I always have the feeling that there’s a lot about this wizardry you’re not telling me,” his father said. “Sometimes it worries me. Then come times like this when I’m horribly glad about my ignorance.” <hr width="50%"/> “A symbol of innocence endlessly chased by the banality of evil.” (Carmela about the road runner) / Kit went back to his corn flakes. “I wish the evil ''I'' keep running into was a little more banal,” he muttered. <hr width="50%"/> “We could airwalk it...” (Kit) <hr width="50%"/> “Where’s my bed?!” Dairine shrieked. / “It’s on Pluto,” Nita said. “On the winter side.” <hr width="50%"/> “I wish I knew what alien force had kidnapped my sister and left this vindictive thug of a pod person in her place. Because when I find out, I’m going to hunt it down and kick however many rear ends it has from here to Alphecca!” (Dairine) <hr width="50%"/> “If you listen to them for too long,” Tom said, “you won’t be able to say anything that takes more than seventeen syllables.” / “I should send Dairine over,” Nita said. / “Even ''their'' powers have limits.” <hr width="50%"/> “It kills you, doesn’t it?” Dairine said. ”Asking me for help.” / Nita gave her sister a very slight smile. “Better it should kill me than Kit,” she said. <hr width="50%"/> “Not being alone is the best part of being a wizard!” She swallowed. “Or just being a person.” (Nita) <hr width="50%"/> “I wish Nita were here.” (Kit) / ''I don’t!'' Ponch said. ''I wouldn’t want anybody I liked to be here. And I don’t want us to be here either!'' <hr width="50%"/> Kit was looking over at the Earth. “It really is the best job, isn’t it?” he said. / Nita nodded. “None better. And the company’s good, too.” / “The best,” Kit said. == [[wikipedia:Wizard's Holiday|Wizard's Holiday]] == "Fairest and Fallen-" "Yes, yes. Greetings and Defiance! Thank you very much! I really wish you people would come up with something else to say!" (Kit and Esemeli)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "Kit?" came his mama's voice from downstairs. "Nita?" "Chicken!" Nita said, and was out of the room before Kit even had time to turn around.<br /> <hr width="50%"/> Dairine opened her mouth to say something, and then completely forgot what, as Sker'ret began to eat. He ate the glass. He ate the cans. He ate the asparagus, and the peas, and the canned tomatoes, and every other foodstuff that had fallen on the floor. He slurped up every bit of liquid. And when he was done, he looked around him, and with his foreclaws, he picked up the torn-off cupboard door, which he had carefully set aside while dealing with the canned goods. "Not the door!" Dairine yelled. Sker'ret's head turned in some alarm. "No?" "No," Dairine said, trying hard to calm herself. "I'm sorry; that's part of the kitchen." "Oh," Sker'ret said. "My apologies. I didn't realize." Carefully he set the door aside again, and turned his attention downward. "No, no, no, no," Dairine said. "Leave the floor!"<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "I mean lots of people might never believe that you could ever be forgiven for what you've been... what you've done." "That could be so," the Lone One said softly. "As there might also be those who've become a little smug, over time, about their own redemption's... enough so that they'd feel comfortable dictating to The One their own minuscule ideas about who else ought to qualify for forgiveness." It laughed, a sudden bitter sound. "And it's a fool's game, because there is no sounding The One, no grasping it." It looked, and sounded, angry, and scornful, and a little haunted... even disturbed. "All we can be sure of is that, whether we like it or not, The One means us all well, more so than we can ever comprehend. And the details of that meaning are sometimes going to be impossible for any created being to fathom... even the Powers that Be." (Kit and Esemeli)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> “Okay, Tom,” Nita’s dad said. “For the Wizardly challenged among us, this means…?” <hr width="50%"/> “Oh, hi, Kit,” her dad said. “Come on in. I can’t get used to it, the times when you walk over: I keep expecting you to just appear out of nothing in the living room, as usual.” <hr width="50%"/> “I really would be happier if Kit was with you. You two’ve been pretty good backup to each other in the past.” (Harry) <hr width="50%"/> “Just a wizardry. I’m playing with the speed of light.” (Kit) / “I thought that was supposed to be a law,” Carmela said. “You shouldn’t break laws.” / “I’m not. I’m not even bending this one,” Kit said. “Just bending space.” / “For the ''fun'' of it,” His sister said in wonder. “You make my brains bleed sometimes, you know that?” / “Not half as much as I wish I did.” <hr width="50%"/> “I’ve revised my opinion of you way upward.” (Carmela) / “That concerns me so deeply,” Kit said. <hr width="50%"/> “Try not to destroy your host civilization or anything.” (Urruah) <hr width="50%"/> “Would you normally open the door and get out of a car you were driving?” (Tom) <hr width="50%"/> “It’s not just in your world that there have been changes. ''I’ve'' had my share of them. Huge ones...which you were deeply involved in, you and your sister. ... she wouldn’t have been sent ''here''. She wouldn’t have been the beginning of the answer to the Alaalid’s problem. Whereas you two are...unfortunately for me. They ''would'' send someone with whom I have so much history.” (The Lone Power) <hr width="50%"/> “Because this once, It had no choice but to tell the truth,” Kit said. “Not after Nita was finished with it anyway.” <hr width="50%"/> “That Binding Oath is really something,” he said, “if it makes the Lone Power help us even when It’s trying to screw us up.” (Kit) == [[wikipedia:Wizards at War|Wizards at War]] == "What do your people usually wear when meeting your leaders?" (Roshaun) "If we've got any guts at all, a real annoyed expression," Dairine said. <hr width="50%"/> Three true things await discovery: :Darkness overspreading, :A commorancy underground, :And the moon is no dream. (one of Spot's prophecies)<br /> <hr width="50%"/> "'Mela," Nita said under her breath, "you need to stop concentrating on someone else's hottitude and get serious, okay? We are ''not'' in a safe place here." "Yeah, okay," Carmela muttered. But she shot Nita a sly look. "See that? Hung up on my little brother as you unfortunately are, I got you to admit it. He is ''utterly'' hot." "I am not--" Nita exhaled in exasperation. "Forget it. As for Ronan--yeah, he has his moments." "Without a doubt," Carmela said. "And how many of his moments have ''you'' had?"<br /> <hr width="50%"/> ''Beware!'' said the peridexis's voice in her head. ''Don't let Its shadowy little truth overwhelm the greater one.'' <hr width="50%"/> "Except when the freedom is one ''you'' don't choose to grant," Memeki said, more loudly this time. She was shaking herself all over, struggling to stand straight again. "You hold our hope with one claw and take it away with her other! I may be weak and doomed soon to die, but I will die as an ''I'', not just one more nameless scarp of shell to be thrown out into the sucking mud! No matter how little a time it lasts, I will be what all ''these'' are" -she looked around at Kit and Ponch and Nita and the others-"selves unto themselves and being what matters to each other! Such a life, even a breath's worth of it, is better than anything you've ever given me!" Memeki was trembling again, but with passion, with determination, desperate and doomed. She took a step toward the dias, and another, her claw lifted not in that old gesture of submission, but in one more like a warrior's threat. "I will ''be'' what the Voice said I was, the Hesper. I ''will'' be the Aeon of Light, the Power that made a different choice from yours. I will be the Star that did not fall, no matter how little a time the light lasts!" <hr width="50%"/> “Neets, is it true he destroyed a whole alien culture in just ten days?” (Carmela) <hr width="50%"/> “Am I allowed to ''think'' about teleporting her to Titan and dumping her in a lake of liquid methane?” (Kit) / “No,” Nit said... “It’d upset those microbes there... the ones Dairine’s been coaching in situational ethics.” / “The thought of ''Dairine'' coaching anybody in ethics...” <hr width="50%"/> “''How'' many are we for dinner tonight?” (Harry) / “The usual,” came the reply. “Three humans, one humanoid, one tree, one giant bug – ” <hr width="50%"/> “Kings are made no less by eating,” Roshaun said. “Rather, they ennoble what they eat.” / “Wow, who sold you ''that'' one?” Nita said. She grinned… “I think I’ll go ennoble a couple of waffles.” <hr width="50%"/> “''When'' did you get the idea it would be cute to carve my dad’s cell-phone number on a rock in the middle of Syrtis Major? He ''hates'' it when people call me on his phone.” / Kit gave Nita a resigned look. “Sorry,” he said, “I couldn’t resist.” / “Well, ''resist'' next time!” <hr width="50%"/> “So, if you guys are going to lose your wizardry for a while...who’s going to take over for you as Seniors?” he said. “Who’s going to be running the planet?” (Kit) / Tom and Carl looked at each other, then at Nita and Kit. “You are,” they said. <hr width="50%"/> ''Hey, I need to take some more time off school. Yeah? How much? Oh, just enough to save the universe. Might be a few weeks. But no more than a few months, because everything that exists may be destroyed by then...'' (Kit) <hr width="50%"/> “I’m fine,” Kit said. “But we have to save the universe.” / ... ''Oh'', Ponch said.

If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.]] '''[[w:G. H. Hardy|Godfrey Harold Hardy]]''' FRS ([[7 February]] [[1877]] – [[1 December]] [[1947]]) was an English [[mathematics|mathematician]], known for his achievements in [[number theory]] and [[mathematical analysis]]. In biology, he is known for the [[w:Hardy–Weinberg principle|Hardy–Weinberg principle]], a basic principle of [[w:population genetics|population genetics]]. Hardy is usually known by those outside the field of mathematics for his 1940 essay ''[[w:A Mathematician's Apology|A Mathematician's Apology]]'', often considered one of the best insights into the mind of a working mathematician written for the [[w:layperson|layperson]]. He had a long collaboration with [[John Edensor Littlewood]], and he discovered and supported the work of [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]]. ==Quotes== * [[Mathematicians]] have constructed a very large number of different systems of geometry, Euclidean or non-Euclidean, of one, two, three, or any number of dimensions. All these systems are of complete and equal validity. They embody the results of mathematicians' observations of ''their'' reality, a reality far more intense and far more rigid than the dubious and elusive reality of physics. The old-fashioned geometry of [[Euclid]], the entertaining seven-point geometry of [[Oswald Veblen|Veblen]], the space-times of [[Hermann Minkowski|Minkowski]] and [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]], are all absolutely and equally real. ...There may be three dimensions in this room and five next door. As a professional mathematician, I have no idea; I can only ask some competent physicist to instruct me in the facts.<br />The function of a mathematician, then, is simply to observe the facts about his own intricate system of reality, that astonishingly beautiful complex of logical relations which forms the subject-matter of his science, as if he were an explorer looking at a distant range of mountains, and to record the results of his observations in a series of maps, each of which is a branch of pure mathematics. ...Among them there perhaps none quite so fascinating, with quite the astonishing contrasts of sharp outline and shade, as that which constitutes the [[Number theory|theory of numbers]]. ** "The Theory of Numbers," ''Nature'' (Sep 16, 1922) [https://books.google.com/books?id=1bMzAQAAMAAJ Vol. 110] p. 381 * If I knew I was going to die today, I think I should still want to hear the [[cricket]] scores. ** Quoted in ''The Joy of Cricket'' (ed. John Bright-Holmes, 1984) * If I could prove by logic that you would die in five minutes, I should be sorry you were going to die, but my sorrow would be very much mitigated by pleasure in the proof. ** Quoted by Bertrand Russell, ''[https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Logical_and_Philosophical_Papers_1909_13/SSd9Iu1uXHoC Logical and Philosophical Papers, 1909–13]'', Routledge, 1992, p. xxix. === ''Ramanujan'' (1940) === :<small>''[[Srinivasa Ramanujan|Ramanujan]] : Twelve Lectures on Subjects Suggested by His Life and Work'' </small> * He could remember the idiosyncrasies of numbers in an almost uncanny way. It was [[John Littlewood|Littlewood]] who said that every positive integer was one of Ramanujan's personal friends. I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways." ** Ch. I : The Indian mathematician Ramanujan. * I am obliged to interpolate some remarks on a very difficult subject: ''proof'' and its importance in mathematics. All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians, are contemptuous about proof. I have heard Professor [[Arthur Stanley Eddington|Eddington]], for example, maintain that proof, as [[pure mathematicians]] understand it, is really quite uninteresting and unimportant, and that no one who is really certain that he has found something good should waste his time looking for proof. ** Ch. I : The Indian mathematician Ramanujan. ===''[[w:A Mathematician's Apology|A Mathematician's Apology]]'' (1941)=== * … there is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.<!--1967 p. 61---> * If a man has any genuine talent, he should be ready to make almost any sacrifice in order to cultivate it to the full.<!--1967 p. 68---> * No mathematician should... allow himself to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game. ...Newton gave up mathematics at fifty; ...by the time he was forty ...his great creative days were over. His greatest ideas.., fluxions and the law of gravitation, came... about 1666, when he was twenty four... He made big discoveries until... nearly forty (the 'elliptic orbit' at thirty-seven), but after that he did little but polish and perfect.<!--1967 pp. 70-71---> * [[Évariste Galois|Galois]] died at twenty-one, [[Niels Henrik Abel|Abel]] at twenty-seven, [[Srinivasa Ramanujan|Ramanujan]] at thirty-three, [[Bernhard Riemann|Riemann]] at forty. There have been men who have done great work a good deal later; [[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]]'s great memoir on [[differential geometry]] was published when he was fifty (though he had had the fundamental ideas ten years before). I do not know an instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty. If a man of mature age loses interest in and abandons mathematics, the loss is not likely to be very serious either for mathematics or for himself. <!--1967 pp. 71-72---> * [L]ater records of mathematicians... are not... encouraging. ...There is no instance ...of a first rate mathematician abandoning mathematics and attaining first-rate distinction in any other field. ...Every young mathematician of real talent whom I have known has been faithful to mathematics.., not from lack of ambition but from abundance of it; they have all recognized that there... lay the road to a life of any distinction. <!--1967 pp. 72-73---> * [[Archimedes]] will be remembered when [[Aeschylus]] is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. "Immortality" may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.<!--1967 p. 81---> * '''A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ''ideas''.'''<!--1967 Ch. 10, p. 84--> * A painter makes patterns with shapes and colours, a poet with words. A painting may embody an ‘idea’, but the idea is usually commonplace and unimportant. In poetry, ideas count for a good deal more; but, as Housman insisted, the importance of ideas in poetry is habitually exaggerated: '... Poetry is not the thing said but a way of saying it.' ...[In poetry,] the poverty of the ideas seems hardly to affect the beauty of the verbal pattern.<!--1967 Ch. 10, p. 84--> * The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s must be ''beautiful''; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. '''[[Beauty]] is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.'''<!--1967 Ch. 10, p. 85--> * [[Chess]] problems are the hymn-tunes of mathematics.<!--1967 Ch. 10, p. 87--> * ''{{w|Reductio ad absurdum}}'', which [[Euclid]] loved so much, is one of a mathematician's finest weapons. It is a far finer {{w|gambit}} than any [[chess]] gambit: a chess player may offer the sacrifice of a [[Pawn (chess)|pawn]] or even a piece, but a mathematician offers ''the game''.<!--1967 Ch. 12, p. 94--> * A chess problem is genuine mathematics, but it is in some way 'trivial' mathematics. However ingenious and intricate, however original and surprising the moves, there is something essential lacking. Chess problems are ''unimportant''. The best mathematics is serious as well as beautiful – ''important'' if you like, but the word is very ambiguous, and 'serious' expresses what I mean much better.<!--1967 Ch. 11, pp. 88-89--> * '''I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.'''<!--1967 Ch. 19, p. 115--> * It is... astonishing how little practical value [[Science|scientific]] [[knowledge]] has for ordinary men, how dull and commonplace such of it as has value is, and how its value seems almost to vary inversely to its reputed utility. ...We live either by {{w|rule of thumb}} or on other people's professional knowledge.<!--1969 Ch. 20, p. 117--> * [A] good deal of elementary mathematics... 'elementary' in the sense in which professional mathematicians use it... [e.g.,] knowledge of the differential and integral calculus—has considerable practical utility.

The 'real' mathematics of the 'real' mathematicians... of [[Pierre de Fermat|Fermat]] and [[Leonhard Euler|Euler]] and [[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]] and [[Niels Henrik Abel|Abel]] and [[Bernhard Riemann|Riemann]], is almost wholly 'useless' (...as true of 'applied' as of 'pure' mathematics).

'utility'...<!--1969 Ch. 21, p. 119--> * [S]cience works for evil as well as for good (...particularly ...in time of war); and... mathematicians may be justified in rejoicing that there is one science... their own, whose ...remoteness from ordinary human activities should keep it gentle and clean.<!--1969 Ch. 21, p. 121--> * It is... natural to suppose that there is a great difference in utility between '[[Pure mathematics|pure]]' and [[Applied mathematics|'applied' mathematics]].

This may seem a paradox, since it is the physicist who deals with the subject-matter usually described as 'real', but [...] [a physicist] is trying to correlate the incoherent body of crude fact confronting him with some definite and orderly scheme of abstract relations, the kind of scheme he can borrow only from [[mathematics]].<!--1969 Ch. 22, pp. 128-9--> * 317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but ''because it is so'', because mathematical reality is built that way.<!--1967 Ch. 24, p. 130--> * [[Pure mathematics|[P]ure mathematics]] is on the whole distinctly more useful than [[applied mathematics|applied]].

(pg 46) == Quotes about G. H. Hardy == * Hardy was a great internationalist who worked with foreign mathematicians, visiting them, encouraging them to visit him and settling some, including [[Abram Samoilovitch Besicovitch|Besicovitch]], in England. There were some major probability figures in Hardy’s network: [[George Pólya]] (1887-1985) of [[Zürich]], [[Norbert Wiener]] (1894-1964) of [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] and [[Harald Cramér]] (1893-1985) of [[Stockholm]]-appropriately Wiener and Cramér first met when visiting Hardy in 1920. ** {{cite journal|last=Aldrich|first=John|title=England and Continental Probability in the Inter-War Years|journal=Electronic Journal for History of Probability and Statistics|date=December 2009|volume=5|issue=2|page=3|url=http://www.jehps.net/Decembre2009/Aldrich.pdf}} * In 1933 [[Edmund Landau|Landau]] was dismissed from his [University of Göttingen] chair on the grounds of his race. An important colleague... [[w:Ludwig Bieberbach|Ludwig Bieberbach]] ...wrote the following lines in a treatise on ''Personality structure and mathematical creativity'':<br />"In this way... the ultimate reason behind the courageous rejection which the students at Göttingen University meted out to a great mathematician, Edmund Landau, was that his un-German style in research and teaching had become intolerable to German sensitivities. A people which has seen how alien desires for dominion are gnawing at its identity, how enemies of the people are working to impose their alien ways on it, must reject teachers of a type alien to it."<br />The English mathematician Godfrey H. Hardy... responded to Bieberbach...<br />"There are many of us, many English and many Germans, who said things during the (First) War which we scarcely meant and are sorry to remember now. Anxiety for one's own position, dread of falling behind the rising torrent of folly, determination at all costs not to be outdone, may be natural if not particularly heroic excuses. Prof. Bieberbach's reputation excludes such explanation for his utterances; and I find myself driven to the more uncharitable conclusion that he really believes them true." ** Jörg Arndt & Christoph Haenel, ''Pi - Unleashed'' (2012) * To illustrate to what extent Hardy and Littlewood in the course of the years came to be considered as the leaders of recent English mathematical research, I may report what an excellent colleague once jokingly said: 'Nowadays, there are only three really great English mathematicians: Hardy, Littlewood, and Hardy-Littlewood.' ** Harald Bohr, {{cite book |authorlink=[[Harald Bohr]] |title=Collected Mathematical Works |volume=1 |year=1952 |publisher=Dansk Matematisk Forening |location=Copenhagen |oclc=3172542 |pages=xiii-xxxiv |chapter=Looking Backward }}, p. xxvii. * Hardy in his thirties held the view that the late years of a mathematician's life were spent most profitably in writing books; I remember a particular conversation about this, and though we never spoke of the matter again it remained an understanding. ** [[John Littlewood]], Preface to {{cite book |last= Hardy |first= G.

It did not occur to me that there would be many difficulties to impede my ambition; in fact, the job itself had been an impediment. All I knew was that I burned to write a novel and I could not have cared less that my bank account was close to zero, with no replenishment in sight. At the age of twenty-two I had such pure hopes in my ability to write not just a respectable first novel, but a novel that would be completely out of the ordinary, that when I left the McGraw-Hill Building for the last time '''I felt the exultancy of a man just released from slavery and ready to set the universe on fire.''' ** "Lie Down In Darkness", ''This Quiet Dust and Other Writings'' (1982) * '''It could be all unwittingly that I wrote in ''[[w:Darkness Visible (memoir)|Darkness Visible]]'' what amounted to a [[w:Rosetta Stone|Rosetta stone]] for my other work.''' ** "A Conversation with William Styron", ''Humanities'' (May/June 1997) * My life and work have been far from free of blemish, and so I think it would be unpardonable for a biographer not to dish up the dirt. ** "A Conversation with William Styron", ''Humanities'' (May/June 1997) ===''[[w:Lie Down in Darkness (novel)|Lie Down in Darkness]]'' (1951)=== *RIDING DOWN TO Port Warwick from Richmond, the train begins to pick up speed on the outskirts of the city, past the tobacco factories with their ever-present haze of acrid, sweetish dust and past the rows of uniformly brown clapboard houses which stretch down the hilly streets for miles, it seems, the hundreds of rooftops all reflecting the pale light of dawn; past the suburban roads still sluggish and sleepy with early morning traffic, and rattling swiftly now over the bridge which separates the last two hills where in the valley below you can see the James River winding beneath its acid-green crust of scum out beside the chemical plants and more rows of clapboard houses and into the woods beyond. **first (opening) sentence of the novel === ''[[w:The Confessions of Nat Turner (1967)|The Confessions of Nat Turner]]'' (1967) === [[File:Nat Turner captured.jpg|thumb|Surely [[mankind]] has yet to be [[born]].

For myself, after two or three days of great flaccidity of spirit, an aimless oral yearning, aching moments of hunger at the pit of the stomach, and an awful intermittent urge to burst into tears, the problem resolved itself, and in less than a week all craving vanished. Curiously, for the first time in my life, I developed a racking cough, but this, too, disappeared. A sense of smugness, a kind of fatness of soul, is the reward for such a struggle. ** Essay,'' 'The Habit' ''[pub.

Yet to escape the crematoriums was, of course, to gain only the most feeble hold on the possibility of survival. Statistics regarding the non-Jews who perished during the four years of the existence of Auschwitz as a result of starvation and disease are likewise inexact but somewhat more reliable. It would appear that out of the four million who died, perhaps three quarters of a million - or approximately a fifth of the total - fell into the category which the Nazis termed [[w:Aryan#Nazism_and_white_supremacy|Aryan]].

'''It thus remains nearly incomprehensible to those who have not experienced it in its extreme mode, although the gloom, “the blues” which people go through occasionally and associate with the general hassle of everyday existence are of such prevalence that they do give many individuals a hint of the illness in its catastrophic form.''' ** I * '''When I was a young writer there had been a stage where [[Albert Camus|Camus]], almost more than any other contemporary literary figure, radically set the tone for my own view of life and history.''' I read his novel ''The Stranger'' somewhat later than I should have — I was in my early thirties — but after finishing it I received the stab of recognition that proceeds from reading the work of a writer who has wedded moral passion to a style of great beauty and whose unblinking vision is capable of frightening the soul to its marrow. The cosmic loneliness of Meursault, the hero of that novel, so haunted me that when I set out to write ''The Confessions of Nat Turner'' I was impelled to use Camus’s device of having the story flow from the point of view of a narrator isolated in his jail cell during the hours before his execution. For me there was a spiritual connection between Meursault’s frigid solitude and the plight of Nat Turner — his rebel predecessor in history by a hundred years — likewise condemned and abandoned by man and God. '''Camus’s essay “Reflections on the Guillotine” is a virtually unique document, freighted with terrible and fiery logic; it is difficult to conceive of the most vengeful supporter of the death penalty retaining the same attitude after exposure to scathing truths expressed with such ardor and precision.''' I know my thinking was forever altered by that work, not only turning me around completely, convincing me of the essential barbarism of capital punishment, but establishing substantial claims on my conscience in regard to matters of responsibility at large. '''Camus was a great cleanser of my intellect, ridding me of countless sluggish ideas, and through some of the most unsettling pessimism I had ever encountered causing me to be aroused anew by life’s enigmatic promise.''' ** II * One of the century’s most famous intellectual pronouncements comes at the beginning of ''The Myth of Sisyphus'': “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.” Reading this for the first time I was puzzled and continued to be throughout much of the essay, since despite the work’s persuasive logic and eloquence there was a lot that eluded me, and I always came back to grapple vainly with the initial hypothesis, unable to deal with the premise that anyone should come close to wishing to kill himself in the first place. A later short novel, ''The Fall'', I admired with reservations; the guilt and self-condemnation of the lawyer-narrator, gloomily spinning out his monologue in an Amsterdam bar, seemed a touch clamorous and excessive, but at the time of my reading I was unable to perceive that the lawyer was behaving very much like a man in the throes of clinical depression. Such was my innocence of the very existence of this disease. ** II * This general unawareness of what depression is really like was apparent most recently in the matter of [[Primo Levi]], the remarkable Italian writer and survivor of Auschwitz who, at the age of sixty-seven, hurled himself down a stairwell in Turin in 1987. Since my own involvement with the illness, I had been more than ordinarily interested in Levi’s death, and so, late in 1988, when I read an account in ''The New York Times'' about a symposium on the writer and his work held at New York University, I was fascinated but, finally, appalled. For, according to the article, many of the participants, worldly writers and scholars, seemed mystified by Levi’s suicide, mystified and disappointed. It was as if this man whom they had all so greatly admired, and who had endured so much at the hands of the Nazis — a man of exemplary resilience and courage — had by his suicide demonstrated a frailty, a crumbling of character they were loath to accept. In the face of a terrible absolute — self-destruction — their reaction was helplessness and (the reader could not avoid it) a touch of shame. <br /> My annoyance over all this was so intense that I was prompted to write a short piece for the op-ed page of the ''Times''. The argument I put forth was fairly straightforward: the pain of severe depression is quite unimaginable to those who have not suffered it, and it kills in many instances because its anguish can no longer be borne. The prevention of many suicides will continue to be hindered until there is a general awareness of the nature of this pain. Through the healing process of time — and through medical intervention or hospitalization in many cases — most people survive depression, which may be its only blessing; but to the tragic legion who are compelled to destroy themselves there should be no more reproof attached than to the victims of terminal cancer. ** III * When I was first aware that I had been laid low by the disease, I felt a need, among other things, to register a strong protest against the word “depression.” Depression, most people know, used to be termed “melancholia,” a word which appears in English as early as the year 1303 and crops up more than once in [[Chaucer]], who in his usage seemed to be aware of its pathological nuances. “Melancholia” would still appear to be a far more apt and evocative word for the blacker forms of the disorder, but it was usurped by a noun with a bland tonality and lacking any magisterial presence, used indifferently to describe an economic decline or a rut in the ground, a true wimp of a word for such a major illness. It may be that the scientist generally held responsible for its currency in modern times, a Johns Hopkins Medical School faculty member justly venerated — the Swiss-born psychiatrist Adolf Meyer — had a tin ear for the finer rhythms of English and therefore was unaware of the semantic damage he had inflicted by offering “depression” as a descriptive noun for such a dreadful and raging disease. Nonetheless, for over seventy-five years the word has slithered innocuously through the language like a slug, leaving little trace of its intrinsic malevolence and preventing, by its very insipidity, a general awareness of the horrible intensity of the disease when out of control. <br /> As one who has suffered from the malady in extremis yet returned to tell the tale, I would lobby for a truly arresting designation. “Brainstorm,” for instance, has unfortunately been preempted to describe, somewhat jocularly, intellectual inspiration. But something along these lines is needed. Told that someone’s mood disorder has evolved into a storm — a veritable howling tempest in the brain, which is indeed what a clinical depression resembles like nothing else — even the uninformed layman might display sympathy rather than the standard reaction that “depression” evokes, something akin to “So what?” or “You’ll pull out of it” or “We all have bad days.” The phrase “nervous breakdown” seems to be on its way out, certainly deservedly so, owing to its insinuation of a vague spinelessness, but we still seem destined to be saddled with “depression” until a better, sturdier name is created. ** IV * I had now reached that phase of the disorder where all sense of hope had vanished, along with the idea of a futurity; my [[brain]], in thrall to its outlaw hormones, had become less an organ of thought than an instrument registering, minute by minute, varying degrees of its own [[suffering]]. ** V * There is a region in the experience of pain where the certainty of alleviation often permits superhuman endurance. We learn to live with pain in varying degrees daily, or over longer periods of time, and we are more often than not mercifully free of it. When we endure severe discomfort of a physical nature our conditioning has taught us since childhood to make accommodations to the pain’s demands — o accept it, whether pluckily or whimpering and complaining, according to our personal degree of stoicism, but in any case to accept it. Except in intractable terminal pain, there is almost always some form of relief; we look forward to that alleviation, whether it be through sleep or Tylenol or self-hypnosis or a change of posture or, most often, through the body’s capacity for healing itself, and we embrace this eventual respite as the natural reward we receive for having been, temporarily, such good sports and doughty sufferers, such optimistic cheerleaders for life at heart. <br /> '''In depression this [[faith]] in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent.''' The [[pain]] is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come — not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. If there is mild relief, one knows that it is only temporary; more pain will follow.''' It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.''' So the decision-making of daily life involves not, as in normal affairs, shifting from one annoying situation to another less annoying — or from discomfort to relative comfort, or from boredom to activity — but moving from pain to pain. '''One does not abandon, even briefly, one's bed of nails, but is attached to it wherever one goes.''' ** VI * For in virtually any other serious sickness, a patient who felt similar devastation would be lying flat in bed, possibly sedated and hooked up to the tubes and wires of life-support systems, but at the very least in a posture of repose and in an isolated setting. His invalidism would be necessary, unquestioned and honorably attained. However, the sufferer from depression has no such option and therefore finds himself, like a walking casualty of war, thrust into the most intolerable social and family situations. There he must, despite the anguish devouring his brain, present a face approximating the one that is associated with ordinary events and companionship. He must try to utter small talk, and be responsive to questions, and knowingly nod and frown and, God help him, even smile. ** VI * In many of [[Albrecht Dürer]]’s engravings there are harrowing depictions of his own melancholia; the manic wheeling stars of [[Van Gogh]] are the precursors of the artist’s plunge into dementia and the extinction of self. It is a suffering that often tinges the music of [[Beethoven]], of [[Schumann]] and [[Mahler]], and permeates the darker cantatas of [[Bach]]. The vast metaphor which most faithfully represents this fathomless ordeal, however, is that of [[Dante]], and his all-too-familiar lines still arrest the imagination with their augury of the unknowable, the black struggle to come: :::''Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita <br /> Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, <br /> Ché la diritta via era smarrita.'' ::: In the middle of the journey of our life <br /> I found myself in a dark wood, <br /> For I had lost the right path. : One can be sure that these words have been more than once employed to conjure the ravages of melancholia, but their somber foreboding has often overshadowed the last lines of the best-known part of that poem, with their evocation of hope. To most of those who have experienced it, the horror of depression is so overwhelming as to be quite beyond expression, hence the frustrated sense of inadequacy found in the work of even the greatest artists. But in science and art the search will doubtless go on for a clear representation of its meaning, which sometimes, for those who have known it, is a simulacrum of all the evil of our world: of our everyday discord and chaos, our irrationality, warfare and crime, torture and violence, our impulse toward death and our flight from it held in the intolerable equipoise of history. If our lives had no other configuration but this, we should want, and perhaps deserve, to perish; if depression had no termination, then suicide would, indeed, be the only remedy. But '''one need not sound the false or inspirational note to stress the truth that depression is not the soul’s annihilation; men and women who have recovered from the disease — and they are countless — bear witness to what is probably its only saving grace: it is conquerable.''' :* X * '''For those who have dwelt in depression’s dark wood, and known its inexplicable agony, their return from the abyss is not unlike the ascent of the poet, trudging upward and upward out of hell’s black depths and at last emerging into what he saw as “the shining world.” There, whoever has been restored to [[health]] has almost always been restored to the capacity for [[serenity]] and [[joy]], and this may be indemnity enough for having endured the [[despair]] beyond despair.''' :: ''E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.'' <br /> And so we came forth, and once again beheld the [[stars]]. :* X ==Quotes about Styron== *"Confessions of Nat Turner," is a book I admire very much. But, you see, I read that book as the "Confessions of Bill Styron" and I'm not trying to put the book down when I say that. I respect the book very much. I respect him very much and I respect his attempt to grapple with something almost no one in his generation is prepared to even look at... The book meant something to me because it was a white Southern writer's attempt to deal with something that was tormenting him and frightening him. I respect him very much for that. Now, as to his execution, what is one to say about it? (“I'm still waiting for the white writer to write a novel about a lynching from the point of view of the lyncher.”) Yes, I quite agree with you. I said before that America's effort to avoid the presence of black people constricts American literature. It creates a trap white writers find themselves in. **''Conversations with [[James Baldwin]]'' edited by Louis H. Pratt and Fred L. Standley (1989) *(asked about ''The Confessions of Nat Turner'') Morrison: Well, here we have a very self-conscious character who says things like, "I looked at my black hand." Or "I woke up and I felt black." It is very much on Bill Styron's mind. He feels charged in Nat Turner's skin...in this place that feels exotic to him. So it reads exotically to us, that's all. (Interviewer: There was a tremendous outcry at that time from people who felt that Styron didn't have a right to write about Nat Turner.) Morrison: He has a right to write about whatever he wants. To suggest otherwise is outrageous. What they should have criticized, and some of them did, was Styron's suggestion that Nat Turner hated black people. In the book Turner expresses his revulsion over and over again he's so distant from blacks, so superior. So the fundamental question is why would anybody follow him? What kind of leader is this who has a fundamentally racist contempt that seems unreal to any black person reading it. Any white leader would have some interest and identification with the people he was asking to die. That was what these critics meant when they said Nat Turner speaks like a white man. That racial distance is strong and clear in that book. **1992 interview collected in ''[[Toni Morrison]]: Conversations'' edited by Carolyn C.

'''It thus remains nearly incomprehensible to those who have not experienced it in its extreme mode, although the gloom, “the blues” which people go through occasionally and associate with the general hassle of everyday existence are of such prevalence that they do give many individuals a hint of the illness in its catastrophic form.''' ** I * '''When I was a young writer there had been a stage where [[Albert Camus|Camus]], almost more than any other contemporary literary figure, radically set the tone for my own view of life and history.''' I read his novel ''The Stranger'' somewhat later than I should have — I was in my early thirties — but after finishing it I received the stab of recognition that proceeds from reading the work of a writer who has wedded moral passion to a style of great beauty and whose unblinking vision is capable of frightening the soul to its marrow. The cosmic loneliness of Meursault, the hero of that novel, so haunted me that when I set out to write ''The Confessions of Nat Turner'' I was impelled to use Camus’s device of having the story flow from the point of view of a narrator isolated in his jail cell during the hours before his execution. For me there was a spiritual connection between Meursault’s frigid solitude and the plight of Nat Turner — his rebel predecessor in history by a hundred years — likewise condemned and abandoned by man and God. '''Camus’s essay “Reflections on the Guillotine” is a virtually unique document, freighted with terrible and fiery logic; it is difficult to conceive of the most vengeful supporter of the death penalty retaining the same attitude after exposure to scathing truths expressed with such ardor and precision.''' I know my thinking was forever altered by that work, not only turning me around completely, convincing me of the essential barbarism of capital punishment, but establishing substantial claims on my conscience in regard to matters of responsibility at large. '''Camus was a great cleanser of my intellect, ridding me of countless sluggish ideas, and through some of the most unsettling pessimism I had ever encountered causing me to be aroused anew by life’s enigmatic promise.''' ** II * One of the century’s most famous intellectual pronouncements comes at the beginning of ''The Myth of Sisyphus'': “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.” Reading this for the first time I was puzzled and continued to be throughout much of the essay, since despite the work’s persuasive logic and eloquence there was a lot that eluded me, and I always came back to grapple vainly with the initial hypothesis, unable to deal with the premise that anyone should come close to wishing to kill himself in the first place. A later short novel, ''The Fall'', I admired with reservations; the guilt and self-condemnation of the lawyer-narrator, gloomily spinning out his monologue in an Amsterdam bar, seemed a touch clamorous and excessive, but at the time of my reading I was unable to perceive that the lawyer was behaving very much like a man in the throes of clinical depression. Such was my innocence of the very existence of this disease. ** II * This general unawareness of what depression is really like was apparent most recently in the matter of [[Primo Levi]], the remarkable Italian writer and survivor of Auschwitz who, at the age of sixty-seven, hurled himself down a stairwell in Turin in 1987. Since my own involvement with the illness, I had been more than ordinarily interested in Levi’s death, and so, late in 1988, when I read an account in ''The New York Times'' about a symposium on the writer and his work held at New York University, I was fascinated but, finally, appalled. For, according to the article, many of the participants, worldly writers and scholars, seemed mystified by Levi’s suicide, mystified and disappointed. It was as if this man whom they had all so greatly admired, and who had endured so much at the hands of the Nazis — a man of exemplary resilience and courage — had by his suicide demonstrated a frailty, a crumbling of character they were loath to accept. In the face of a terrible absolute — self-destruction — their reaction was helplessness and (the reader could not avoid it) a touch of shame. <br /> My annoyance over all this was so intense that I was prompted to write a short piece for the op-ed page of the ''Times''. The argument I put forth was fairly straightforward: the pain of severe depression is quite unimaginable to those who have not suffered it, and it kills in many instances because its anguish can no longer be borne. The prevention of many suicides will continue to be hindered until there is a general awareness of the nature of this pain. Through the healing process of time — and through medical intervention or hospitalization in many cases — most people survive depression, which may be its only blessing; but to the tragic legion who are compelled to destroy themselves there should be no more reproof attached than to the victims of terminal cancer. ** III * When I was first aware that I had been laid low by the disease, I felt a need, among other things, to register a strong protest against the word “depression.” Depression, most people know, used to be termed “melancholia,” a word which appears in English as early as the year 1303 and crops up more than once in [[Chaucer]], who in his usage seemed to be aware of its pathological nuances. “Melancholia” would still appear to be a far more apt and evocative word for the blacker forms of the disorder, but it was usurped by a noun with a bland tonality and lacking any magisterial presence, used indifferently to describe an economic decline or a rut in the ground, a true wimp of a word for such a major illness. It may be that the scientist generally held responsible for its currency in modern times, a Johns Hopkins Medical School faculty member justly venerated — the Swiss-born psychiatrist Adolf Meyer — had a tin ear for the finer rhythms of English and therefore was unaware of the semantic damage he had inflicted by offering “depression” as a descriptive noun for such a dreadful and raging disease. Nonetheless, for over seventy-five years the word has slithered innocuously through the language like a slug, leaving little trace of its intrinsic malevolence and preventing, by its very insipidity, a general awareness of the horrible intensity of the disease when out of control. <br /> As one who has suffered from the malady in extremis yet returned to tell the tale, I would lobby for a truly arresting designation. “Brainstorm,” for instance, has unfortunately been preempted to describe, somewhat jocularly, intellectual inspiration. But something along these lines is needed. Told that someone’s mood disorder has evolved into a storm — a veritable howling tempest in the brain, which is indeed what a clinical depression resembles like nothing else — even the uninformed layman might display sympathy rather than the standard reaction that “depression” evokes, something akin to “So what?” or “You’ll pull out of it” or “We all have bad days.” The phrase “nervous breakdown” seems to be on its way out, certainly deservedly so, owing to its insinuation of a vague spinelessness, but we still seem destined to be saddled with “depression” until a better, sturdier name is created. ** IV * I had now reached that phase of the disorder where all sense of hope had vanished, along with the idea of a futurity; my [[brain]], in thrall to its outlaw hormones, had become less an organ of thought than an instrument registering, minute by minute, varying degrees of its own [[suffering]]. ** V * There is a region in the experience of pain where the certainty of alleviation often permits superhuman endurance. We learn to live with pain in varying degrees daily, or over longer periods of time, and we are more often than not mercifully free of it. When we endure severe discomfort of a physical nature our conditioning has taught us since childhood to make accommodations to the pain’s demands — o accept it, whether pluckily or whimpering and complaining, according to our personal degree of stoicism, but in any case to accept it. Except in intractable terminal pain, there is almost always some form of relief; we look forward to that alleviation, whether it be through sleep or Tylenol or self-hypnosis or a change of posture or, most often, through the body’s capacity for healing itself, and we embrace this eventual respite as the natural reward we receive for having been, temporarily, such good sports and doughty sufferers, such optimistic cheerleaders for life at heart. <br /> '''In depression this [[faith]] in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent.''' The [[pain]] is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come — not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. If there is mild relief, one knows that it is only temporary; more pain will follow.''' It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.''' So the decision-making of daily life involves not, as in normal affairs, shifting from one annoying situation to another less annoying — or from discomfort to relative comfort, or from boredom to activity — but moving from pain to pain. '''One does not abandon, even briefly, one's bed of nails, but is attached to it wherever one goes.''' ** VI * For in virtually any other serious sickness, a patient who felt similar devastation would be lying flat in bed, possibly sedated and hooked up to the tubes and wires of life-support systems, but at the very least in a posture of repose and in an isolated setting. His invalidism would be necessary, unquestioned and honorably attained. However, the sufferer from depression has no such option and therefore finds himself, like a walking casualty of war, thrust into the most intolerable social and family situations. There he must, despite the anguish devouring his brain, present a face approximating the one that is associated with ordinary events and companionship. He must try to utter small talk, and be responsive to questions, and knowingly nod and frown and, God help him, even smile. ** VI * In many of [[Albrecht Dürer]]’s engravings there are harrowing depictions of his own melancholia; the manic wheeling stars of [[Van Gogh]] are the precursors of the artist’s plunge into dementia and the extinction of self. It is a suffering that often tinges the music of [[Beethoven]], of [[Schumann]] and [[Mahler]], and permeates the darker cantatas of [[Bach]]. The vast metaphor which most faithfully represents this fathomless ordeal, however, is that of [[Dante]], and his all-too-familiar lines still arrest the imagination with their augury of the unknowable, the black struggle to come: :::''Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita <br /> Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, <br /> Ché la diritta via era smarrita.'' ::: In the middle of the journey of our life <br /> I found myself in a dark wood, <br /> For I had lost the right path. : One can be sure that these words have been more than once employed to conjure the ravages of melancholia, but their somber foreboding has often overshadowed the last lines of the best-known part of that poem, with their evocation of hope. To most of those who have experienced it, the horror of depression is so overwhelming as to be quite beyond expression, hence the frustrated sense of inadequacy found in the work of even the greatest artists. But in science and art the search will doubtless go on for a clear representation of its meaning, which sometimes, for those who have known it, is a simulacrum of all the evil of our world: of our everyday discord and chaos, our irrationality, warfare and crime, torture and violence, our impulse toward death and our flight from it held in the intolerable equipoise of history. If our lives had no other configuration but this, we should want, and perhaps deserve, to perish; if depression had no termination, then suicide would, indeed, be the only remedy. But '''one need not sound the false or inspirational note to stress the truth that depression is not the soul’s annihilation; men and women who have recovered from the disease — and they are countless — bear witness to what is probably its only saving grace: it is conquerable.''' :* X * '''For those who have dwelt in depression’s dark wood, and known its inexplicable agony, their return from the abyss is not unlike the ascent of the poet, trudging upward and upward out of hell’s black depths and at last emerging into what he saw as “the shining world.” There, whoever has been restored to [[health]] has almost always been restored to the capacity for [[serenity]] and [[joy]], and this may be indemnity enough for having endured the [[despair]] beyond despair.''' :: ''E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.'' <br /> And so we came forth, and once again beheld the [[stars]]. :* X ==Quotes about Styron== *"Confessions of Nat Turner," is a book I admire very much. But, you see, I read that book as the "Confessions of Bill Styron" and I'm not trying to put the book down when I say that. I respect the book very much. I respect him very much and I respect his attempt to grapple with something almost no one in his generation is prepared to even look at... The book meant something to me because it was a white Southern writer's attempt to deal with something that was tormenting him and frightening him. I respect him very much for that. Now, as to his execution, what is one to say about it? (“I'm still waiting for the white writer to write a novel about a lynching from the point of view of the lyncher.”) Yes, I quite agree with you. I said before that America's effort to avoid the presence of black people constricts American literature. It creates a trap white writers find themselves in. **''Conversations with [[James Baldwin]]'' edited by Louis H. Pratt and Fred L. Standley (1989) *(asked about ''The Confessions of Nat Turner'') Morrison: Well, here we have a very self-conscious character who says things like, "I looked at my black hand." Or "I woke up and I felt black." It is very much on Bill Styron's mind. He feels charged in Nat Turner's skin...in this place that feels exotic to him. So it reads exotically to us, that's all. (Interviewer: There was a tremendous outcry at that time from people who felt that Styron didn't have a right to write about Nat Turner.) Morrison: He has a right to write about whatever he wants. To suggest otherwise is outrageous. What they should have criticized, and some of them did, was Styron's suggestion that Nat Turner hated black people. In the book Turner expresses his revulsion over and over again he's so distant from blacks, so superior. So the fundamental question is why would anybody follow him? What kind of leader is this who has a fundamentally racist contempt that seems unreal to any black person reading it. Any white leader would have some interest and identification with the people he was asking to die. That was what these critics meant when they said Nat Turner speaks like a white man. That racial distance is strong and clear in that book. **1992 interview collected in ''[[Toni Morrison]]: Conversations'' edited by Carolyn C.

Your chief, Andy inscribed his name on me. :''[He lifts his boot to show Andy's name written on it]'' :'''Rex and Slinky Dog''': Wow! :'''Rex''': With permanent ink too! :''[Woody shakes in anger]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Well, I must get back to repairing my ship. :''[Woody watches this and lifts his boot up to look at Andy's name on it when Bo comes up beside him]'' :'''Bo Peep''': Don't let it get to you, Woody. :'''Woody''': Uh... let what? I don't, uh...... What do you mean? Who? :'''Bo Peep''': I know Andy's excited about Buzz. But you know he'll always have a special place for you. :'''Mr. Potato Head''': Yeah, like the attic. ''[chuckling]'' :'''Woody''': All right, that's it! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Hmm. Unidirectional bonding strip. :'''Robot''': Mr. Lightyear wants more tape. :''[Snake uses his mouth to get the end of the tape and pulls it. Buzz hums as he works underneath his ship on a skateboard when Woody pulls him out]'' :'''Woody''': Listen, Light Snack, you stay away from Andy. He's mine, and no one is taking him away from me. :'''Buzz Lightyear''': What are you talking about? ''[to Robot]'' Where's that bonding strip? :''[He rolls underneath his ship but Woody pulls him back again]'' :'''Woody''': And another thing, stop with this spaceman thing! It's getting on my nerves. :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Are you saying you wanna lodge a complaint with Star Command? :'''Woody''': Oh-ho, okay! Ooh, well, so you wanna do it the hard way, huh? :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Don't even think about it, cowboy. :'''Woody''': Oh, yeah, tough guy? :''[He opens his helmet and Buzz starts gasping and choking as he crotches down and holds Woody's leg to support himself. When he stops, he sniffs the air and realizes something]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': The air isn't.... toxic. ''[to Woody]'' How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on an uncharted planet! My eyeballs could've been sucked from their sockets! ''[puts his helmet back on]'' :'''Woody''': You actually think you're the Buzz Lightyear? ''[laughs]'' Oh, all this time I thought it was an act! Hey, guys, look! It's the real Buzz Lightyear! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': You're mocking me, aren't you? :'''Woody''': Oh, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Buzz, look, an alien! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Where?! :''[Woody laughs and falls over, with Buzz not amused until they hear a dog barking and Andy's next-door neighbor, Sid Phillips, shouting]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[first words]'' Yes!

''[throw stuff while the dog barks]'' :'''Mr. Potato Head''': Who is it this time? :'''Woody''': I... I can't... I can't tell. Hey, where's Lenny? :'''Lenny''': Right here, Woody. :'''Rex''': Oh, no, I can't bear to watch one of these again. :''[Woody uses Lenny to see what toy Sid is trying to take out]'' :'''Woody''': Oh, no, it's a Combat Carl. :''[Buzz joins them]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': What's going on? :'''Woody''': Nothing that concerns you spacemen, just us toys. :'''Buzz Lightyear''': I'd better take a look anyway. ''[uses Lenny to look at Combat Carl]'' Why is that soldier strapped to an explosive device? :'''Woody''': That's why, Sid. :''[Woody actually points Lenny at the dog]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Hmm, sure is a hairy fella. :'''Woody''': ''[realizing his mistake of identifying Scud as Sid to Buzz]'' No, no, that's Scud, you idiot! ''[moves Lenny up to Sid so that Buzz can see him properly]'' That is Sid. :''[Sid cackles evilly]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': You mean that happy child? :'''Mr. Potato Head''': That ain't no happy child. :'''Rex''': He tortures toys, just for fun! :''[Sid throws a block at the soldier]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Well, then, we've got to do something. :''[He climbs onto the windowsill]'' :'''Bo Peep''': ''[gasps, putting her cane hook on Buzz's arm]'' What are you doing? Get down from there! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': I'm gonna teach that boy a lesson. :'''Woody''': Yeah, sure. You go ahead. Melt him with your scary laser. :''[He presses Buzz's laser button and it starts beeping]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Be careful with that, it's extremely dangerous. :''[Lenny saw Sid lighting a match and lighting the little dynamite strapped to Combat Carl]'' :'''Lenny''': He's lighting it! He's lighting it! HIT THE DIRT!! :''[Bo Peep screams]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Look out! :''[They all take cover as the dynamite explodes destroying the soldier. They soon are back on the windowsill. Scud barks]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': Yes! He's gone! He's history! ''[laughs with triumph]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': I could've stopped him. :'''Woody''': Buzz, I would love to see you try. ''[gesturing to Sid's yard]'' Of course I'd love to see you as a crater. :'''Bo Peep''': The sooner we move, the better. <hr width=50%> :''[A FOR SALE sign and a SOLD sign stands outside Andy's house.

What would you say to dinner at, uh, oh, Pizza Planet? :''[While Jennifer is talking, Andy turns around, goes back to his desk, and continues to play with the two toys on his desk until he hears the words "Pizza Planet", smiles and turns his head to Jennifer]'' :'''Andy Davis''': Pizza Planet?! Oh, cool! :''[He drops Woody and Buzz with Buzz landing right on top of Woody and runs to his mother before they both leave.

Mr. Potato Head and Hamm who are playing a game of cards down below, hear Woody groaning in frustration. Woody yells. He throws the ball down and it rolls over the desk and falls behind it. The thud caught Woody's attention and he looks down to see the ball wedged at the bottom. He turns his attention to Buzz who is looking for some "tools" to fix his ship. Woody then sees RC asleep on top of some boxes and a funny grin comes to his face as he got an idea on how to get Andy's attention to him]'' Buzz!! Oh, Buzz, Buzz Lightyear!! Buzz Lightyear, thank goodness! We've got trouble! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Trouble? Where? :'''Woody''': ''[pointing to the place where the ball fell]'' Down there. Just down there.

Just, just keep looking! :''[He sends RC towards Buzz at full throttle]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': What kind of a toy...? :''[Buzz sees RC coming, gasps and jumps out of the way just as RC hits the bulletin board. Mr. Potato Head gasps as the pushpins fall down and land around Buzz leaving him unharmed. Then the board falls on the globe and it rolls towards Buzz who runs from it. Woody watches in horror as Buzz runs from the globe but trips on some colored pencils and falls. He rolled over to the windowsill out of its way and the globe rolls past him and hit a table lamp which swung around. Woody ducked his head to avoid getting hit by the lamp but Buzz wasn't so lucky as it knocks him out the window.

What is it, boy? :''[RC revs his engine]'' :'''Mr. Potato Head''': He's saying that this was no accident. :'''Toys''': Huh? :'''Bo Peep''': What do you mean? :'''Mr. Potato Head''': I mean Humpty Dumpty was pushed... :'''Slinky Dog''': No! :'''Mr. Potato Head''': By Woody!

Didn't wanna face the fact that Buzz just might be Andy's new favorite toy. So you got rid of him. Well, what if Andy starts playing with me more, Woody, huh? You're gonna knock me out of the window too? :'''Hamm''': I don't think we should give him the chance. :''[Then the lid opened and Sarge and his men jump out and jump onto Woody]'' :'''Sarge''': There he is, men!

I tried to- He- I couldn't hold on- It was an a- He slipped! :''[The toys then rush up to the window and peek out of the window to try and find Buzz out of concern for him]'' :'''Rex''': I don't see him.

Any other toy would give up his moving parts just to be you. You've got wings, you glow in the dark, you talk, your helmet does that -- that whoosh thing -- you are a COOL toy. ''[depressed]'' As a matter of fact you're too cool. I mean -- I mean what chance does a toy like me have against a Buzz Lightyear action figure? All I can do is... ''[pull his pull-string; voice-box]'' There's a snake in my boots. ''[regular voice]'' Why would Andy ever want to play with me, when he's got you? ''[Buzz look up at Woody in surprise]'' I'm the one that should be strapped to that rocket. ''[slumps dejectedly against the crate, turning his back to Buzz. Buzz thinks about what Woody just said, his eyes shifting in wonder. Raising an eye brow, he lifts his foot and look at Andy's name written on it, still visible through the scuff marks and dirt. As he runs his fingers through the sole, he understands what being a toy is all about; to being joy and happiness to a kid. He looks at Woody with determination in his eyes. He gestures to Woody who is still looking depressed about not be able to compete with Buzz any more]'' Listen, Buzz, forget about me. You should get outta here while you can. ''[There's silence. Woody turn to see that Buzz is gone, Woody sadly sighs in defeat and bows his head, accepting his fate. Suddenly, there's a cluttering noise up above. He looks up to see Buzz on top of the milk crate, trying to push the toolbox off]'' Buzz!! What are you doing? We thought you were -- :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Come on, Sheriff. There's a kid over in that house who needs us. Now let's get you out of this thing. ''[strains]'' :'''Woody''': Yes, sir! ''[They, Woody and Buzz began to push the toolbox and the milk crate but it's slow prove; strained]'' Come on, Buzz! We can do it! :''[Then as they strain, Woody, and Buzz heard a rumble noise. They look out the window to see the moving van arriving outside Andy's house]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Woody! It's the moving van. :'''Woody''': We've got to get out of here... NOW. ''[Buzz braces himself between the toolbox and the wall. Using his legs, Buzz pushes the toolbox and it starts to move. Woody saw that with every shove Buzz gives to the tool chest, the milk crate begins to edge out on the lip of the desk]'' Come on, Buzz. ''[Finally there's a gap wide enough for Woody to jump through]'' All right! ''[drops down to the floor below]'' Buzz! Hey! I'm out! :''[Buzz didn't hear him and continues to push the toolbox (and milk crate) farther out]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': ''[grunts]'' Almost there! :''[Woody look up just in time to see the toolbox and the milk crate topple towards them. Woody nervous laugh. The toolbox falls on Woody. Buzz look towards Sid who stirs]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[in his sleep]'' I wanna ride the pony... :''[He remains asleep. Buzz sighs with relief and went over to the edge of the workbench and peers over to look down to see if Woody are okay]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Woody? Are you alright?! :''[Woody lifts the toolbox off him]'' :'''Woody''': ''[punch-drunk]'' No, I'm fine. I'm okay. :''[Then Sid's alarm clock rang, making Woody duck under the toolbox and Buzz freezes. The alarm clock fell off the desk and onto the floor with a crash. Sid sits up groggily for a second then his eyes widen, remembering his bad plan to blow Buzz up with the rocket]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': Oh, yeah! Time for lift-off! ''[jumps out of bed, grabs Buzz and bolts out of his room]'' To infinity and beyond! Whoo-hoo! :''[Woody run towards the door and catches it just in time before it closes. But as they open the door, Scud appears and runs towards them. Quickly, they shut the door on Scud]'' :'''Woody''': Aaah! Back! Back! Down! Down! ''[out of breath; to himself]'' Okay, what do I do? Come on Woody, think! <hr width=50%> :''[Woody looks around and saw the mutant toys]'' :'''Woody''': Guys! ''[The mutant toys retreat to hide from him]'' No, no, no! Wait! Wait! Listen! Please! There's a good toy down there and he's -- he's going to be blown to bits in a few minutes all because of me. I've gotta save him! ''[pause]'' -- But I need your help. ''[For a while, the mutants look at Woody and consider his proposal, but to Woody it seems like they're not responding. Woody dejectedly bows his head, until he sees Babyface timidly creeps out from under the bed]'' Please. He's my friend. ''[Lets it sink in. He loses hope]'' He's the only one I've got. ''[For a response, it would seem that no help will come, that is until Babyface crawls out and taps a code on the bedpost. The other mutant toys come out of hiding and come over to a relieved Woody; to Babyface]'' Thank you. ''[to the others]'' Okay. I think I know what to do. We're going to have to break a few rules, but if it works, it'll help everybody. :''[Inside Andy's room Andy's now fully empty and former bedroom where the movers are moving the boxes of Andy's toys out of it. A forlorn Andy holds his cowboy hat and Buzz's cardboard spaceship in his hands and with a sad sigh, he walks out of the room, unaware that next door, Sid is carrying materials under his arm from his shed]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[as astronaut]'' Houston to Mission Control. Come in, Control. Launch pad is being constructed! Heh-heh. :''[He puts the stuff down next to Buzz who is still inanimate. Outside Sid's door, Scud is planted, poised to strike anything that comes out. In the room, and the mutant toys are planning to rescue Buzz]'' :'''Woody''': All right, listen up. I need Pump Boy here -- Ducky here. Legs? ''[Legs, a fishing rod with doll's legs, step forward]'' You're with Ducky. ''[to the others]'' RollerBob and I don't move till we get the signal. Clear? ''[The mutant toys nodded in agreement]'' Okay, let's move! ''[The mutant toys split up. Scud barks, hearing the commotion. Legs and Ducky, Mark and Bucky open the face plate off a heating grate and run inside the duct. They went down the duct and found a intersection. Ducky saw the right tunnel and quacks to Legs, Mark and Bucky to follow him and they went down the right tunnel. Woody hops onto RollerBob, a skateboard with a soldier's upper torso tied to the front]'' Wind the frog. ''[A toy car with hands and feet winds up a frog with wheels instead of legs. Ducky, Legs, Mark and Bucky move towards a junction box in front of them. Hand-in-the-Box, a jack-in-the-box with a monster hand glove grabs the doorknob. Back in the rafters, Ducky and Legs lift the loose junction box which is attached to the porch light up into the rafters. Ducky stick his head out of the hole to see if the coast is clear. In the room, the other mutant toys are waiting for Ducky to give them the signal]'' Wait for the signal. ''[Ducky put Legs' hook onto his neck and Legs lower him down to the door. Ducky began swinging back and forth to reach the doorbell til with a big swing, he reaches the doorbell and rings it, thus signaling the other mutant toys and Woody]'' Go! ''[Hand-in-the-Box opens the door and the car with hands let go of the frog with wheels. It speeds out of the room and past Scud who began to chase it]'' All right, let's go. Now! :''[RollerBob uses his arms to move his skateboard, Woody and the other mutant toys out of the room. Downstairs, Hannah approaches the door]'' :'''Hannah Phillips''': I'm coming. I'm coming. :''[She touches the doorknob. Bucky sees it and freezes just as Hannah opens the door. There's no one there. She didn't even see Ducky on the porch in front of her. Scud chases the frog downstairs. The frog races in between Hannah's legs and into Ducky's hands. Legs lifts Ducky and the frog out of the way just as Scud bursts through the door onto the porch, knocking Hannah over in the process]'' :'''Hannah Phillips''': Scud! :''[Ducky quacks with laughter. He and Legs put the porch light back in place as Scud barks up at them, realizing that he's been duped. Hannah gets back up]'' :'''Hannah Phillips''': Stupid dog! :''[She slams the door in Scud's face and went down the hall. Woody, and the mutant toys flew down the stairs and through the kitchen towards a dog door in front of them]'' :'''Woody''': Lean back! :''[The mutants push back, causing RollerBob to do a wheelie and they fly through the dog door and catapult into the bushes]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Woody, and the mutant toys peeks out of the bushes to see Buzz still standing inanimate strapped to the launchpad. Sid is still in his toolshed, doing voices of Houston and an astronaut]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[as astronaut]'' Uh, Mission Control, is the launchpad construction complete? ''[simulated static]'' Uh, Roger, rocket is now secured to guide wire. We are currently obtaining the...ignition sticks. Countdown will commence momentarily. Stand by-- ''[simulated static]'' :''[Legs, Ducky, Frog, Mark and Bucky slide into the yard from a drain pipe. They exchange a thumbs-up with Woody before hurrying to their positions]'' :'''Woody''': Let's go. :''[The mutant toys spread out to their positions]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': Hey, Mom?! Where are the matches? Oh, oh, wait, here they are. Never mind... :''[Woody ran towards Buzz, who saw him]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': ''[whispers]'' Woody?! Great! Help me out of this thing! :'''Woody''': Shhh! :'''Buzz Lightyear''': ''[confused]'' What? :'''Woody''': ''[whispers]'' It's okay, everything's under control. :''[He goes limp and falls to the ground, confusing Buzz]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Woody?! What are you doing?! :''[Sid came out of his toolshed and Buzz freezes]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[as astronaut]'' Houston, all systems are go. Requesting permission to launch -- ''[spotting Woody]'' Hey! How'd you get out here? ''[picks Woody up and look at him for a moment]'' Oh, well, you and I can have a cookout later. Ha-ha-ha... ''[puts Woody on a barbecue grill and put a match in his holster then turn back to Buzz to proceed with his plan to blow him up]'' Houston, do we have permission to launch? -- ''[simulated static]'' Uh, Roger, permission granted. You are confirmed at T minus 10 seconds, ''[The mutant toys scrambled to their hiding places as Sid lights a match]'' and counting, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! :''[He did not say "Blast Off!" as he grins menacingly as he moves the match to the fuse, ready to light it when...]'' :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' Reach for the sky. :'''Sid Phillips''': Huh? :''[He turns to see Woody still on on the barbecue grill, lifeless except for the sound coming from his voice box]'' :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' This town ain't big enough for the two of us! :'''Sid Phillips''': What? :''[He walks over to Woody and picks him up]'' :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' Somebody's poisoned the water hole... :'''Sid Phillips''': It's busted. :''[He raises Woody up, about to throw him away...]'' :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' Who are you calling busted, Buster?! ''[Sid stops short and looks at Woody confused]'' That's right. ''[As Woody's voice box continues to talk, Sid look at his pull string. It's not moving]'' I'm talking to YOU, Sid Phillips! :''[Sid gets increasingly frightened and confused]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': What? :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' We don't like being blown up, Sid, or smashed, or ripped apart... :'''Sid Phillips''': W-w-w-we? :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' That's right! Your toys! :''[A red doll rise from a sandbox calling Mama. A pick-up truck toy emerges from the sandbox too and Buzz Lightyear grins excitedly. Mud-covered soldiers rises from some puddles and began to move towards Sid who back up in fright. The alien who Scud chewed up earlier, appears from a dog bowl and join in the fray. Legs lower Babyface down onto Sid's head, making him screaming in terror. Hand-in-the-Box grabs him by the leg and RollerBob and Janie approach him. Sid found himself getting surrounded by his toys]'' :'''Woody''': ''[voice-box]'' From now on, you must take good care of your toys! Because if you don't, we'll find out, Sid. We toys can see everything. ''[Woody's inanimate head rotates around 360 degrees then came to life much to Sid's horror; regular voice]'' So play nice. ''[Sid screams in horror and runs away, dropping Woody. Woody, and the mutant toys cheer; delighted]'' Ha-ha! We did it! We did it! YES!!! :''[Inside, Hannah is coming downstairs with a doll when Sid rushes in]'' :'''Sid Phillips''': ''[last words; whimpering]'' The toys! The toys are alive! ''[sees Hannah's doll and recoils a bit]'' Nice toy... :''[Hannah, sensing Sid's fear and found an opportunity to get back at him for what he did to Janie and her toys, suddenly thrusts the doll into Sid's face. He continues screaming and runs upstairs with Hannah chasing him, taunting him with the doll]'' :'''Hannah Phillips''': What's wrong, Sid?! Don't you want to play with Sally?! :''[Sid crying in off-screen]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Outside, the mutant toys continue celebrating and congratulating each.]'' :'''Woody''': Nice work, fellas. Good job. Coming out of the ground -- what a touch! That was a stroke of genius. :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Woody. ''[Woody turns around and sees Buzz who's still affixed to Sid's launchpad. Buzz extends his hand to Woody]'' Thanks. :''[They share a smile as they shake hands, beginning their friendship, when they heard a car horn and they turn to see Andy and his family getting into the car]'' :'''Jennifer Davis''': ''[Off-screen]'' Everybody say, "Bye, house." :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Woody! The van! :'''Andy Davis''': ''[depressed]'' Bye, house. :''[Woody quickly hoist Buzz off the pole he was tied to]'' :'''Woody''': ''[to mutant toys]'' We gotta run! Thanks, guys.

Woody peeks out to see Andy's van's engine roaring, starting up]'' Quick! :''[Woody easily slips through the slats in the fence, but Buzz's rocket got him stuck. Woody climb to the rear bumper of the van then realizes Buzz's movement is silent. He looks back to discover that Buzz is stuck to the fence]'' :'''Buzz Lightyear''': Just go! I'll catch up! ''[Woody looks between Buzz and the van then made a decision. He jumped down and ran back to Buzz. The van begins pulling out of the driveway. Woody tugs on a loosened slat and breaks Buzz free of the fence. The two toys ran out to the street but the van is already driving away down the street. Then they heard a rumble and they look back to see the moving truck rolling towards them. Woody and Buzz scream. They duck down to avoid been hit by the truck as it rolls over them. After it passes, they start to chase it]'' Come on! ''[Scud is lying on the front porch when he perks up, seeing Woody, and Buzz running down the street after the moving truck. He growls, wanting to get back at them for duping him. Buzz runs faster than Woody and leap for a strap which is dangling from the back of the truck and grabs it to climb up to the bumper. Woody struggles to reach the strap but it keeps being out of reach]'' You can do it, Woody! :''[Woody jumps and grabs the strap]'' :'''Woody''': Whew, I made it! ''[laughs; Buzz gasps. Woody look back to see Scud running towards them. Woody screams. Scud bite on Woody's foot; kicking Scud with his other foot]'' Get away, [[Turner & Hooch|you stupid dog]]! Down! Down! Aah!

Just then, the moving truck and the family van stop at the traffic lights. Woody slams into the door, making it slide up, carrying him with it. Hanging from the door, Woody scans the inside of the truck until he saw a box marked Andy's toys. Scud flings Buzz off his face. Buzz tumbles under a parked car. Scud runs to the car but can't get to Buzz due to the car too big for him to fit under. Woody open the box and inside is Slinky, Rex, Mr. Potato Head and Hamm]'' :'''Toys''': What? :'''Rex''': Are we there already? Woody! :'''Slinky Dog''': Woody?! How'd you-- :'''Hamm''': How did you-- ''[Woody push the box to the side and begin rummaging through the next box. Slinky, Potato Head, Rex and the other toys poke their heads out]'' What's going on? What's he taking? :'''Woody''': Aha, there you are! :''[The toys watch in confusion as Woody took out RC and his remote control out of the box]'' :'''Mr. Potato Head''': Hey! What's he doing? :''[Woody runs to the back of the truck and kicks RC out onto the street, making the toys scream in horror]'' :'''Rex''': He's at it again! :''[Woody turn on the remote and send RC to the parked car, pasting Scud on the way.

The traffic lights turn red and the wall of cross traffic move from both directions. Buzz looks back to see the lines of traffic in front of him. Buzz screams. He and RC drive straight into the lines of traffic with Scud blindly following them. Scud saw a car slamming on it's brakes on his side and went wide-eyed, realizing his mistake and skids to stop. The car swerves to avoid Scud and crashes into another car. Buzz and RC zipped through before the other cars collide with each other. Soon there is a multi-car pile up that encircles Scud, trapping him. He runs back and forth, trying to find a way out while people in their cars honk their horns at each other and shouting at each other]'' :'''Driver #1''': Get out of that car! :'''Driver #2''': Move it! :''[Buzz look up to see the crash and let out a sigh of relief, both for getting away from Scud and avoid getting hit by the cars.

When we started "Toy Story" back in 1991, computer graphics tended to make everything look like they were made of plastic, and so it was a natural subject matter. But with computer animation, we were also able to get the detail: the seams on Buzz Lightyear – the little screwheads holding the parts together. There was an embossed '© Disney' on his butt. All those things made it feel like the audience was looking at it going, "Yeah, I believe those are toys." ** John Lasseter, [http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2001/12/19/john_lasseter_toy_story_1_interview.shtml "(Part 1 of 2) Toy Story"], by Adrian Hennigan, ''BBC''.

The clothing in this sack tells the story. ''[takes the Mayan princess' outfit out of his sack]'' This belonged to a Mayan princess a long time ago. The princess loved cookies. Each day, the royal baker would whip up a jar full of cookies for the princess. The cookie jar was (then) brought to the princess by her most trusted royal Poohbah. And before he would give the cookies, the greedy Poohbah would steal cookies from the jar and sell them for his own profit. One day, the baker caught the Poohbah and went to tell the princess, but the Poohbah got to her first. The Poohbah presented the princess with cookie jars that were only half-full, and said the ''baker'' was stealing the missing cookies. The princess was outraged, and ordered the baker to have his mouth sewn shut, his eyebrows plucked, and his body mummified (as punishment). Most unpleasant. ''[chuckles]'' That baker is now a centuries-old mummy. And he's risen. And he's seeking revenge. And he's on his way to this very spot at this very moment. :'''Muriel''': Why here? Why us? :'''Professor Frith''': ''[takes out a scroll from his sack and opens it]'' Here is an ancient drawing of the princess and the Poohbah. :''[Eustace and Muriel gasp in surprise, seeing that they look just them]'' :'''Muriel''': They look just like we do! <hr width="50%"> :'''Eustace''': ''[offering Muriel a jar of cookies]'' Here, my princess, is your daily supply of royal cookies. :'''Muriel''': Thank you, most trusted royal Poohbah.

Royal Poohbah, do you know who could be responsible for such a terrible crime? :'''Eustace''': Ain't me. Got me sugarcane. <hr width="50%"> :'''Muriel''': It was you all along, no-longer-trusted Poohbah. I order you to have your lips sewn shut, your eyebrows plucked, and the rest of you mummified!

You and me, remember? :''[Alex tried to attack Marty, but the zebra scuttled back away from the crazed lion.]'' :'''Alex''': I don't want to hurt you. :'''Marty''': Alex. I ain't leaving without you.

Then Private lands on the plate, and then Kowalski brings out a can of whipped cream that Skipper sprays onto Privates head.]'' :'''Private''': ''[Then Rico up chucks a cherry, that plops onto Privates whipped cream covered head.]'' Come and get it! :'''Fossa''': Foosa-Huh? :''[Then as the fossa where about to eat Private, Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico spun the wheel knocking out many fossa in the process.

Should we head back to New York? :'''Alex''': I don't know, Marty. I mean, this is your dream. You sure you want to leave? :'''Marty''': I don't care where we are. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter to me. :'''Alex''': Well, in that case... ''[turns to Rico]'' Yo. Rico. I'll take 300 orders to go! :'''Rico''': Hai. :'''King Julien''': Yes, yes. But before you leave, I have an announcement to make. So shut up, everyone, please. Thank you. After much deep and profound brain things inside my head, I have decided to thank you for bringing peace to our home.

Maybe we could make a few side stops along the way? :'''Marty''': Maybe Paris. :'''Gloria''': Ooh! You just read my mind. :'''Alex''': I was thinking Spain. :'''Marty''': Yeah. Run with the bulls. :'''Gloria''': What about Fiji? :'''Melman''': Ooh! Canada. Can we? Cheap meds. Eh? Tsk, tsk. :'''Alex''': You know, I wouldn't even mind coming back here sometime. :'''Melman''': Yeah, I could do that. :'''Gloria''': You could say that again.

Since then, I have become quite hooked on the idea of ensuring that my favorite (or even not-so-favorite) films would have their best lines captured for posterity. I am now an administrator and bureaucrat here on Wikiquote. <hr width="50%"/> I'm a transplanted New Jersey-ian (or is it New Jersey-ite?) who has a ravenous hunger for movies and books (I rarely go through a day without one or the other). My tastes are quite diverse and range from absolute classics to thrillers to horror to comedy (both obvious and more sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek). I also particularly like [[:Category:Films noir|Films noir]] and [[:Category:Neo-noir|Neo-noir films]]. If pressed, I would list my favorite films as ''[[Three Days of the Condor]]'', ''[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington]]'', ''[[Casablanca]]'', ''[[The Third Man]]'', ''[[Chinatown]]'', ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'', ''[[Good Will Hunting]]'', ''[[La La Land (film)|La La Land]]'', ''[[In Bruges]]'', ''[[Blood Simple]]'' (and frankly I'd watch anything by [[:Category:Films directed by the Coen brothers|the Coen brothers]]), ''[[The Godfather]]'', ''[[Hoosiers]]'', ''[[Donnie Darko]]'', ''[[It's a Wonderful Life]]'', ''[[Goodfellas]]'', ''[[The Seven Samurai]]'', ''[[The Man in the Moon]]'', ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', ''[[Nobody's Fool (1994 film)|Nobody's Fool]]'', ''[[Absence of Malice]]'', anything by [[w:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock]] (especially ''[[Shadow of a Doubt]]'', ''[[Rear Window]]'', ''[[North by Northwest]]'' and ''[[Rope (film)|Rope]]''), anything by [[Akira Kurosawa]], and maybe ''[[Halloween (1978 film)|Halloween]]'' (There. How's that for diverse?). As for TV, as with many WQ people, I am a devout ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]'' fan. I would also include among my favorites ''[[Severance (TV series)|Severance]]'', ''[[Midnight Mass (miniseries)|Midnight Mass]]'', ''[[Mr. Robot]]'', ''[[The Handmaid's Tale (TV series)|The Handmaid's Tale]]'', ''[[The Leftovers (TV series)|The Leftovers]]'', ''[[Stranger Things (TV series)|Stranger Things]]'', ''[[Shameless (U.S. TV series)|Shameless]]'', ''[[Homeland (TV series)‎|Homeland]]'', ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'', ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]'', ''[[Friday Night Lights (TV series)|Friday Night Lights]]'', ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', ''[[Cheers (TV series)|Cheers]]'', ''[[Homicide: Life on the Street]]'', ''[[My So-Called Life]]'', ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', ''[[The West Wing]]'', ''[[The Wire]]'', ''[[The Shield]]'', ''[[True Blood (TV series)|True Blood]]'', ''[[Breaking Bad]]'', ''[[Chuck (TV series)|Chuck]]'', ''[[Mad Men]]'', ''[[Damages (TV series)|Damages]]'', ''[[Fringe]]'', ''[[Rescue Me]]'', ''[[The Wonder Years]]'', ''[[Justified (TV series)|Justified]]'', ''[[Sons of Anarchy]]'', and ''[[The Twilight Zone]]''. My favorite authors would include [[Stephen King]], [[Charles Dickens]], [[Rainer Maria Rilke]], [[Ray Bradbury]], [[T. S. Eliot]], [[Neil Gaiman]] (love, love, love ''[[American Gods]]''), [[George Orwell]], [[George Bernard Shaw]], and [[G. K. Chesterton]]. <hr width="50%"/> And: I am HUGE fan of [[Dinosaur Comics]]! It ROCKS! <hr width=50%/> While my interests in Wikiquote primarily focus on films and a few of my favorite TV shows, you never know where I'll pop up. I especially like to rescue pages marked for deletion (if rescue is warranted) and to expand pages that are languishing. == Useful stuff == * [[Help:Starting a new page]] * [[Help:Editing]] * [[User:Jeffq/Admin shortcuts]] * [[User:Ningauble/Useful/VFD tips]] * [[User:HouseOfChange/Useful]] * [[Wikiquote:Template messages/User talk]] * [[Wikiquote:Shortcuts]] * [[:Category:Wikiquote maintenance]] * [[Special:Specialpages|Special pages]] * [[Special:LintErrors|Lint]] *<code><nowiki>{{cite news|first= |last= |author= |url= |title= |work= |publisher= |pages= |page= |date= |accessdate= }}</nowiki></code> *<code><nowiki>{{cite book | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | title = | publisher = | location = | id = | page= }} </nowiki></code> *<code><nowiki>{{cite web|url= |title= |accessdate= |accessmonthday= |accessyear= |author= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher= |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate=}} </Nowiki></code> * <code><nowiki>{{quotation limit|type=tv|length= }}</nowiki></code> * <code><nowiki>{{quotation limit|type=film|length= }}</nowiki></code> * To split into two columns: <code><nowiki>{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}{{col-2}}{{col-end}}</nowiki></code> * [[m:Promoting users|Promoting users]] (for Bots, Admins, etc.) == Favorite quotes == * I hear you say 'Why?' Always 'Why?' You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' ** [[George Bernard Shaw]], ''Back to Methuselah'', Pt. I, Act I (1921) * The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. ** [[George Bernard Shaw]], ''Revolutionist's Handbook'' * A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. ** [[Alexander Pope]], ''Thoughts on Various Subjects'' (1727) * There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. ** [[G. K. Chesterton]], ''[[Heretics (book)|Heretics]]'', Chapter III: "On Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small" (1905) * The changing wisdom of successive generations discards ideas, questions facts, demolishes theories. But the artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom: to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition — and, therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation — and to the subtle but invincible, conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts: to the solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear, which binds men to each other, which binds together all humanity — the dead to the living and the living to the unborn. ** [[Joseph Conrad]], ''[[The Nigger of the "Narcissus"]]'', Preface (1897) * A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it. ** [[G. K. Chesterton]], ''[[The Everlasting Man]]'', Part II: On the Man Called Christ, Ch. 6: The Five Deaths of the Faith (1925) * All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. ** [[Albert Einstein]], "Moral Decay" (1937); Later published in Out of My Later Years (1950) * Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. ** [[Albert Einstein]], Letter to Morris Raphael Cohen, professor emeritus of philosophy at the College of the City of New York, defending the appointment of [[Bertrand Russell]] to a teaching position (19 March 1940) * The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when contemplating the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery every day. The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity. ** [[Albert Einstein]], Statement to William Miller, as quoted in LIFE magazine (2 May 1955) * The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. ** [[Albert Einstein]], ''Mein Weltbild (My World-view)'' (1931) * Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. ** [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]], ''Self Reliance'', from ''[[s:Essays: First Series|Essays: First Series]]'' (1841) * This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. ** [[John Steinbeck]], ''[[w:East of Eden|East of Eden]]'', Part 1, Ch. 13 * Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot ensure our own prosperity except by ensuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy. ** [[Bertrand Russell]], "The Science to Save Us from Science," ''The New York Times Magazine'' (March 19, 1950) * Do I dare<br>Disturb the universe?<br>In a minute there is time<br>For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. ** [[T.S. Eliot]], ''[[w:The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock|The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock]]'' (1915) * This is the way the world ends<br>Not with a bang but a whimper. ** [[T.S. Eliot]], ''[[w:The Hollow Men|The Hollow Men]]'' (1925) * His tired gaze - from passing endless bars - <br> has turned into a vacant stare which nothing holds. <br> To him there seem to be a thousand bars, <br> and out beyond these bars exists no world. <p> His supple gait, the smoothness of strong strides <br> that gently turn in ever smaller circles <br> perform a dance of strength, centered deep within <br> a will, stunned, but untamed, indomitable. <p> But sometimes the curtains of his eyelids part, <br> the pupils of his eyes dilate as images <br> of past encounters enter while through his limbs <br> a tension strains in silence <br> only to cease to be, to die within his heart. ** [[Rainer Maria Rilke]], ''The Panther'' (1907), translated by Albert Ernest Flemming * Before I built a wall I’d ask to know<br>What I was walling in or walling out, <br>And to whom I was like to give offence.<br>Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,<br>That wants it down. ** [[Robert Frost]], ''Mending Wall'' (1915) * Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—<br>I took the one less traveled by,<br>And that has made all the difference. ** [[Robert Frost]], ''The Road Not Taken'' (1916) * I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ** [[Patrick Henry]], ''Speech in Virginia Convention'', Richmond (March 23, 1775) * Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure. ** [[Stephen King]], ''Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption'', from ''Different Seasons'' (1982) * I met a traveller from an antique land<br>Who said:&mdash;Two vast and trunkless legs of stone<br>Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,<br>Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown<br>And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command<br>Tell that its sculptor well those passions read<br>Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,<br>The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.<br>And on the pedestal these words appear:<br>"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:<br>Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"<br>Nothing beside remains: round the decay<br>Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,<br>The lone and level sands stretch far away. ** [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]], ''Ozymandius'' (1818) * Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed. She is said to lie at the bottom of a well, for the very reason, perhaps, that whoever looks down in search of her sees his own image at the bottom, and is persuaded not only that he has seen the goddess, but that she is far better looking than he had imagined. ** [[James Russell Lowell]], ''On Democracy'' (October 6, 1884) * Life and death, union and separation, follow hard upon one another. Nothing is steadfast but the will, nothing endures but one’s achieve­ments. These alone count in life. ** [[Yoshida Shoin]], ''Yoshida Shoin Zenshu'', Vol. II * No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. ** [[Charles Dickens]], ''Our Mutual Friend'' (1864-1865) * He is truly a man who will not permit himself to be unduly elated when fortune’s breeze is favorable, or cast down when it is adverse. ** [[Livy|Titus Livius]] (Livy), ''Histories'', Book XLV, sec. 8 * A person is a person because he recognizes others as persons. ** [[Desmond Tutu]], Address at his enthronement as Anglican archbishop of Cape Town (7 September 1986) * ''Lo maggior don che Dio per sua larghezza<br>fesse creando, e a la sua bontate<br>più conformato, e quel ch'e' più apprezza,<br>fu de la volontà la libertate;<br>di che le creature intelligenti,<br>e tutte e sole, fuore e son dotate.'' ** The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation,<br>and the most conformable to His goodness,<br>and that which He prizes the most,<br>was the freedom of will,<br>with which the creatures with intelligence,<br>they all and they alone, were and are endowed. ** [[Dante Alighieri]], ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'', ''Paradiso'', Canto V, lines 19-24 * Do... or do not. There is no try. ** [[Yoda]], ''[[Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]'' (1980) * Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end. ** [[Neil Gaiman]], ''[[American Gods]]'', ch. 3 (2001) * There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do.

Don't you see I'm happy at last — free — free! — freed from the farm — free to wander on and on — eternally! Look! Isn't it beautiful beyond the hills? I can hear the old voices calling me to come — And this time I'm going! It isn't the end. It's a free beginning — the start of my voyage! I've won to my trip — the right of release — beyond the horizon!

And he carried his credulity into the next period of his life, where he believed in one social or philosophical Ism after another, always on the trail of Truth! He was never courageous enough to face what he really knew was true, that there is no truth for men, that human life is unimportant and meaningless. No. He was always grasping at some absurd new faith to find an excuse for going on! ** Loving, Act 3, Scene 1 * '''One may not give one's [[soul]] to a [[devil]] of [[hate]] — and remain forever scatheless.''' ** Father Baird, Act 3, Scene 1 * '''I [[listen]] to [[people]] talking about this universal breakdown we are in and I marvel at their [[stupid]] [[cowardice]].''' It is so obvious that they deliberately cheat themselves because their [[fear]] of [[change]] won't let them face the [[truth]]. They don't want to [[understand]] what has happened to them. All they want is to start the merry-go-round of blind [[greed]] all over again. They no longer know what they want this country to be, what they want it to become, where they want it to go. It has lost all meaning for them except as pig-wallow. And so their lives as citizens have no beginnings, no ends. '''They have lost the ideal of the Land of the Free. [[Freedom]] demands initiative, [[courage]], the need to [[decide]] what [[life]] must mean to oneself. To them, that is terror.''' They explain away their spiritual cowardice by whining that the [[time]] for [[individualism]] is past, when it is their courage to possess their own [[souls]] which is [[dead]] — and stinking! No, they don't want to be free. [[Slavery]] means [[security]] — of a kind, the only kind they have courage for. It means they need not to [[think]]. They have only to obey orders from owners who are, in turn, their slaves! ** John, Act 3, Scene 2 * '''We can begin to create new goals for ourselves, ends for our days! A new discipline for life will spring into being, a new will and power to live, a new ideal to measure the value of our lives by!''' … We need a new leader who will teach us that ideal, who by his life will exemplify it and make it a living truth for us — a man who will prove that man's fleeting life in time and space can be noble. We need, above all, to learn again to believe in the possibility of nobility of spirit in ourselves! A new savior must be born who will reveal to us how we can be saved from ourselves, so that we can be free of the past and inherit the future and not perish by it! ** John, Act 3, Scene 2 * O Son of Man, I am Thou and Thou art I! Why hast Thou forsaken me? O Brother Who lived and loved and suffered and died with us, Who knoweth the tortured hearts of men, canst Thou not forgive — now — when I surrender all to Thee — when I have forgiven Thee — the love that Thou once took from me! … Ah!

They'll do anything — anything to keep you coming to them. They'll sell their souls! What's worse, they'll sell yours, and you never know it till one day you find yourself in hell! ** Act 2, Scene 1, p.&nbsp;76 * It wasn't the fog I minded, Cathleen. I really love fog. It hides you from the world and the world from you. You feel that everything has changed, and nothing is what it seemed to be. No one can find or touch you any more. Its the foghorn I hate. It won't let you alone. It keeps reminding you, and warning you, and calling you back. ** Act 3, p.&nbsp;100 * How thick the fog is. I can't see the road. All the people in the world could pass by and I would never know. I wish it was always that way. It's getting dark already. It will soon be night, thank goodness. ** Act 3, p.&nbsp;104 * I haven't touched a piano in so many years. I couldn't play with such crippled fingers, even if I wanted to. For a time after my marriage I tried to keep up my music. But it was hopeless.

In fact, to use the word "interview" in connection with him is to employ almost a misnomer. Certainly it is an inapplicable designation. An interview presupposes a colloquy. A flow of words between two persons. Nothing more erroneous could be circulated about [him]. ... Silence. Silence. More questions, probings, attempts to secure opinions, statements, anything but monosyllables. Futility! Suddenly, I am overcome with a sense of the ridiculous. Here are two people whose very careers oppose this sort of conduct. A playwright who deals in words. A writer who juggles them daily. Sitting across from each other in silence, apparently overcome with shyness. ** Carol Bird, "Eugene O'Neill—The Inner Man", in ''Theatre Magazine'' (June 1924), p.&nbsp;9 * Not artifice, nor any solacing reason could mediate the authority of his private pain. ** Richard Hayes, "Eugene O'Neill: The Tragic in Exile", in John Gassner (ed.), ''O'Neill: A Collection of Critical Essays'' (1964), p.&nbsp;56 == External links== {{wikipedia}} {{wikisource author}} {{commonscat}} * [http://www.nndb.com/people/319/000022253/ Profile at NNDB] * [http://nobelprize.org/literature/laureates/1936/oneill-autobio.html Nobel autobiography] * [http://www.eoneill.com/ eOneill.com: An Electronic Eugene O'Neill Archive] * [http://www.cummingsstudyguides.net/Guides2/Iceman.html#Top The Iceman Cometh: A Study Guide] * {{gutenberg author|id=Eugene+O+Neill|name=Eugene O'Neill}} * [http://www.nps.gov/euon/ Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site] * [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/oneill/ American Experience - Eugene O'Neill: A Documentary Film on PBS] * [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=768 Eugene O'Neill's Photo & Gravesite] {{DEFAULTSORT:O'Neill, Eugene}} [[Category:People from New York City]] [[Category:1888 births]] [[Category:1953 deaths]] [[Category:Nobel laureates in Literature]] [[Category:Playwrights from the United States]] [[Category:Agnostics from the United States]] [[Category:Tony Award winners]] [[Category:Nobel laureates from the United States]] [[Category:Princeton University alumni]] [[Category:Pulitzer Prize winners]] [[Category:Laurence Olivier Award winners]] gfjr4z1zp2jac9obi744957bt7bhgvo Cro 0 15105 3951884 3582024 2026-06-11T22:29:56Z ~2026-34409-01 3340309 3951884 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Cro (TV series)|Cro]]''''' ([[w:1993 in television|1993]]-[[w:1994 in television|1994]]) was an animated TV series that aired on [[w:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], then reran on [[w:Noggin|Noggin]] from [[w:1999 in television|1999]] to [[w:2002 in television|2002]].

In the history of the European peoples the city of Washington is perhaps what [[Constantinople]] - the infant city of [[Constantine the Great|Emperor Constantine]] - was to the last phase of the [[Roman Empire]]; for it is unlikely that Europeans, a century hence, will continue to stamp the world so decisively with their ideas and inventions. ** [[Geoffrey Blainey]], ''A Short History of the World'' (2000) * In the city of Washington, where virtue dies<br>in the immoral sewage as it putrefies,<br>those who tell the most brazen, despicable lies,<br>and accumulate sound bites that self-aggrandize,<br>trade their souls in for power that they exercise<br>for their personal profit, to no great surprise. ** Warren Bonham, [https://classicalpoets.org/2024/09/05/where-virtue-dies-and-other-poetry-by-warren-bonham/ "‘Where Virtue Dies’ and Other Poetry by Warren Bonham"], ''The Society of Classical Poets'' (September 5, 2024) * The center of American ideas is Washington, D.C. ** [[w:Arthur C.

Burford was a former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Her remark is reminiscent of one reportedly made by James L. Petigru during Christmas week, 1860, in Charleston, South Carolina, when he was asked by Robert Barnwell Rhett, a leader of the secessionists, if he were with them: "South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum".—Earl Schenck Miers, The Great Rebellion, p. 50 (1958). * I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of [[ambition]] in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with [[success]] as opposed to [[failure]]. ** [[George W.

The city’s economy is tied directly to the size of the federal budget, which has grown virtually without pause since the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] in 1941. The District of Columbia and its surrounding [[Suburb|suburbs]] are now the wealthiest metro region in the country. Washington’s job market is effectively bulletproof. Political figures cycle in and out of [[Federal government of the United States|government]], from [[lobbying]] to [[finance]] to contracting and back, growing richer at every turn. In Washington, prosperity is all but guaranteed. To the rest of the country, this looks like [[corruption]], because, essentially, it is. But if you live there, it’s all upside. The most interesting effect of uninterrupted [[economic growth]] is that the culture of the city remains unusually stable. Even as Washington’s population has grown exponentially over the years, many things about the city haven’t changed at all. Most of the affluent [[neighborhoods]] look the same demographically as they did in 1960. [[Mothers]] don’t work. [[Divorce]] is unusual. [[w:Housing_prices|Housing prices]] almost never fall. It’s a cultural time capsule. By voter registration, D.C. is the most [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] city in America. Yet the instincts of the people who live there are deeply [[Conservatism|conservative]]. Washingtonians hate change. More than anything, they hate to be told they’re wrong, or their ideas are stupid, especially when they are. ** [[Tucker Carlson]], ''Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution'' (2018) * We have built no national temples but the Capitol; we consult no common oracle but the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]. ** [[Rufus Choate]], "The Importance of Illustrating New-England History by a Series of Romances like the Waverley Novels", a lecture delivered at Salem, Massachusetts (1833). * If I wanted to go crazy I would do it in Washington because it would not be noticed. ** [[w:Irwin S.

There are many communities now having more than one free colored person to seven whites and this without any apparent consciousness of evil from it. The District of Columbia and the States of [[Maryland]] and [[Delaware]] are all in this condition. The District has more than one free colored to six whites, and yet in its frequent petitions to Congress I believe it has never presented the presence of free colored persons as one of its grievances. But why should emancipation [[Southern United States|South]] send the free people North? People of any color seldom run unless there be something to run from.

This was taken out of the application of the principle of self-government in the very Constitution that was intended to put that in force in every other part of the country, and it was done because it was intended to have the representatives of all the people in the country control this one city, and to prevent its being controlled by the parochial spirit that would necessarily govern men who did not look beyond the city to the grandeur of the nation, and this as the representative of that nation. ** [[William Howard Taft]], address at a banquet given in his honor by the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce of Washington, D.C.

Grant|President Grant]]'s second term. In December 1861, Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to abolish [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] in the District. The measure met with parliamentary obstacles from the adamantly pro-slavery [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]], whom Republicans in those days referred to as the 'Slave-ocrats'. Most Democrats in Congress having resigned in order to join the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] rebellion, Wilson's measure sailed through the Senate. The abolitionist senator responsible for outmaneuvering Democrat opposition was [[Benjamin Wade|Ben Wade]], the [[Ohio]] Republican who six years later would have assumed the presidency had the bitterly [[Racism in the United States|racist]] Democratic President, [[Andrew Johnson]], been convicted during his [[impeachment]] trial. In the House of Representatives, Democrats delayed passage with a series of stalling tactics. Finally, the majority leader, [[Thaddeus Stevens]], bulldozed over Democrat opposition by calling the House into a committee of the whole. He stopped all other business in the House until Democrats relented and allowed a vote on the bill. Stevens, of [[Pennsylvania]], is best known for his 'forty acres and a mule' proposal. Overall, 99 percent of Republicans in Congress voted to free the slaves in the District of Columbia, and 83 percent of Democrats voted to keep them in chains. ** [[wikipedia:Michael Zak|Michael Zak]], as quoted in [http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.OtherNewsKilledSlavery "Who killed slavery?"] (17 April 2006), by M.

She's mean and nasty and selfish and rude. :'''Stacy''': Okay, okay, okay. Now, come on. Nobody can be that bad. :'''Matt and Tanya''': Vickie can! :'''Stacy''': Oh, now come on, you guys. She must have some good qualities. Think about it. :'''Tanya''': Well,...

Then you can sing carols together. :'''Tanya''': No. She never does anything you tell her to. :'''Matt''': Yeah, and she never smiles, even when you say something funny to her. :'''Stacy''': All right. Listen, you guys. I told her mother that she can come here and play, so I want you to be nice to her, okay? :'''Matt''': Will Santa know we've been nice? :'''Stacy''': Oh, yeah.

Nothing's impossible, unless you stop believing in it. ==Season 2 (1991)== ===''Scare Dares'' [2.1]=== :'''Matt''': Dear Cousin Dan, I can't wait for you to get here. Shining Time Station is busier than ever. :'''Tanya''': Dear Cousin Kara, guess what? Our grandfather Harry was transferred to Fort Farley, so Shining Time Station has a new engineer. His name is Billy Twofeathers. :'''Matt''': But Schemer is still Schemer, and you know what that means. And Aunt Stacy's fine, and she's really happy running the station. A man named Mr. Nicholas came to visit us at Christmas time. Mr. Nicholas needed help at his workshop, so when he went back to his home at the North Pole, Mr. Conductor went along with him. :'''Tanya''': But then, Mr. Conductor's cousin arrived. There's always a Mr. Conductor living here, or else it wouldn't be Shining Time Station. See you on Halloween. Love, Tanya. :'''Matt''': When you get here. Your cousin, Matt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Conductor''': Tanya Lasanya and Matt the Hatt! :''[Dan and Kara notice him]'' :'''Kara''': Look, it's Mr. Conductor! :''[Mr. Conductor disappears]'' :'''Kara''': Wait, where'd he go?! :'''Mr. Conductor''': No. You're imagining me.

Stacy's my aunt, and she told me all about your stories and your magic. :''[Mr. Conductor reappears]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': You mean you like stories, trains, and magic? Well, you've come to the right place! Let me properly introduce myself. Mr. Conductor, at your service. ===''Oh, What a Tangled Web'' [2.2]=== :'''Mr. King''': What, may I ask, is the meaning of this? :'''Schemer''': ''[sleepily]'' Do be a love and scratch my foot, won't you? ''[notices Mr. King]'' Ah, hello, J.B. ''[suddenly reacts and is now wide awake]'' Mr. J.B. King, Esq., exalted head. The meaning of this! Yes. Uh, ah, yes. The meaning of this is that it is a managerial retreat. Yes. It's especially restful for important business-type people like yourself and I. :'''Mr. King''': Put a sock in it, Schemer!! ===''The Magic is Believing'' [2.3]=== :'''Becky''': Neat! How does a doll like that run? On batteries? :'''Mr. Conductor''': STOP IT! I don't come with batteries! :'''Becky''': Yikes! It's a ''real'' little man! :'''Dan''': We've been telling you, it's Mr. Conductor! :'''Kara''': Now do you believe in magic? :'''Becky''': I do. I do. I do! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schemer''': ''[in the opening act of the show]'' The Scheme Master right here would like to tell you a little comic riddle. ''[laughs]'' It's a killer. Okay.

This isn't a game show! I'm not givin' away money! I'm tryin' to do some jokes here! Come on, people! Sit up straight, pay attention, and let's start to laugh at Schemer! C'mon! C'mon! C'mon! I'm workin' hard up here! ===''Win, Lose, or Draw'' [2.4]=== :'''Stacy''': Hiya, Barton! How was the race? :'''Winslow''': It was totally ... You should've seen me. I was out at the starting gate like greased lightning, way ahead of the pack. Well, there was one cat just ahead of me. I poured on the speed. And there we were, rounding the last bend neck and neck, and then wailing down toward the finish line! I gunned it! He gunned it! Engines roared! ''[imitates engines roaring]'' What a cat! He took me! ''[calmly]'' I lost. ===''Sweet and Sour'' [2.5]=== :'''Rex''': The first job Tex and me had was inside a radio in a bank. Always had to play "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?". :'''Didi''': Well, what's why the best place to work is a train station. 'Cause you get to play songs like... :'''Tex''': ''Erie Canal''. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Midge and a group of women form a picket in front of Schemer and Schemee's stand]'' :'''Midge''': All right, ladies. Just keep going around in a circle. :'''Schemer''': Ah! My dear Midge Smoot. :'''Midge''': Don't you dare "Midge Smoot" me! Why, you're lucky my dog is better. After eating two of your cookies, he was sick all afternoon. ===''A Dog's Life'' [2.7]=== :'''Kara''': ''[after Mr. Conductor's story]'' Mr. Conductor, did you tell us that just so we'd feel better about cleaning? :'''Mr. Conductor''': I was comparing your cleaning to the mess on Ginny's farm. :Sometimes a little trouble causes great harm. :Speaking of harm and making things cleaner, :I'd better take a powder, because here comes Schemer. ''[disappears]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schemer''': How's my little pooch, huh? :''[the dog barks at him]'' :'''Schemer''': ''[intimidated]'' Sheesh! Now, is that any way for him to treat his master?! :'''Billy''': Respect works both ways. :'''Schemer''': All right. I'll show him some respect. ''[holds out a nickel]'' Here's a nickel! :''[the dog barks at him again]'' :'''Schemer''': Now, why did he do that?! :'''Billy''': I don't know. Maybe because you tied him up and you didn't take him for a walk. You didn't feed him. You didn't clean up after him. :'''Schemer''': Anything else? :'''Billy''': You didn't play with him! ===''Field Day'' [2.8]=== :'''Stacy''': ''[looks at the new uniforms]'' Oh, boy, look at that. :'''Billy''': TST. I like the sound of that. :'''Stacy''': Yeah. ''[looks at the back]'' "The Schemer Team"? :'''Matt''': Well, Schemer did pay for the uniforms. ''[Mr. Conductor appears on his baseball bat]'' :'''Tanya''': Maybe they'll look better when they're on. :''[Matt moves his bat, causing Mr. Conductor to fall on a mitt]'' :'''Kara''': Mr. Conductor, are you okay? :'''Matt''': Sorry, Mr. Conductor. I didn't see you there. :'''Mr. Conductor''': ''[gets back on his feet]'' Oh, that's all right, Matt. Yes, Kara. I'm as right as rain. I landed as a soft pop fly, you might say. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Conductor''': Weren't you supposed to be out playing baseball? :'''Kara''': The game's not for a while yet. :'''Dan''': And anyway, we're gonna lose. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, you certainly will with that attitude. Imagine if Thomas had felt like that in the story of a famous race against Bertie. :'''Kara''': Did Thomas win? :'''Becky''': Tell us, Mr. Conductor. :'''Mr. Conductor''': I will. ===''Wrong Track'' [2.9]=== :'''Dan''': Schemer, you stole all our money! :'''Schemer''': What are you talkin' about? What money? :'''Kara''': The one for Stacy's party, and you ate all our fudge. :'''Schemer''': Hey, I did not steal any money, and I did not eat any... :''[Becky shows him the empty fudge box]'' :'''Schemer''': Frankly, I had a couple pieces. But eating the food gave me a good idea. See? Fruit cakes, made by my mommy, five cents apiece. ''[laughs]'' :'''Billy''': Schemer, did you make Becky spend all her money? :'''Schemer''': No, I didn't. :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': Did not! :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': Did not! :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': DID NOT! :'''Becky''': Actually, he didn't. :'''Schemer''': See? I didn't. ''[to Becky]'' I didn't? :'''Becky''': I guess I could've said no. But I just got carried away. :'''Schemer''': She could've said no, but she got carried away. :'''Billy''': Did you know the fudge was for Stacy's party? :'''Schemer''': ''[exasperatedly]'' Stacy's party. Stacy's party! Who cares about Stacy's party? Some stupid party I wasn't invited to, anyway. :'''Billy''': Oh, you do care, and you ''are'' invited. :'''Schemer''': I am? :'''Dan, Kara, and Becky''': He is? :'''Billy''': Of course he is! ''[takes Schemer's fruit cake stand]'' But it wouldn't be much of a party without fruit cakes. ===''Crackpot'' [2.11]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': I don't think it matters on what we'll collect. All of it was not straw. :'''Kara and Becky''': Straw? :'''Mr. Conductor''': Haven't I told about the time Percy ended up with a big straw collection and didn't want it? No? Well, then I'll tell you now. ''[blows whistle]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kara''': ''[after Mr. Conductor's story]'' I'm glad the forest has grown back. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Forests do that. Leaves do, too. But friendships-- They can't grow back once they're broken. That's why we always have to take care of them. :'''Kara''': Tea sets don't grow at all. :'''Stacy''': ''[approaches with her newly-repaired teapot]'' But thank goodness for glue! :'''Kara''': ''[notices the pot's cracks]'' But it's still cracked. I'm sorry. Next time you tell me not to touch something, I won't do it. :'''Stacy''': Apology accepted. But you know, besides, I like these cracks. It gives it character, and it makes me think of all of you. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Stacy, are you calling me a crackpot?! ===''Stop the Press'' [2.14]=== :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Scoop! Where is this Scoop?! I'm lookin' for this nincompoop Scoop! :'''Scoop''': Mr. Mayor, here I am, Your Honor. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': ''[holds out his newspaper]'' Are you the author of this journalistic gobbledygook? :'''Scoop''': The story on your campaign speech. Yes, sir. I wrote that. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': ''[hands Scoop the paper]'' Well, go ahead and read it. Read it right now, right there. :'''Scoop''': ''[reads the article]'' "His Honor said that he was here tonight to talk garbage." Well? :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Well, I said I was there to talk ''about'' garbage! Trash collections. Clean streets. Recycling. :'''Scoop''': Oh. Sorry. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Sorry? Well, what are you gonna do about it? :'''Scoop''': We'll print a retraction in tomorrow's paper. No problem. ===''Double Trouble'' [2.16]=== :''[the two Mr. Conductors confront each other]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': He's not me! :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': Yes, I am! :'''Mr. Conductor''': I'm much taller! :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': No, you're not! :'''Mr. Conductor''': You're fatter, though. :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': No, I'm not!

It's my wife's birthday! :'''Schemer''': I'm sorry, it's his wife's birthday! Her name is Tuna Melt, and she's crispy on the outside, and she's soft on the inside. That's her name, and...

It's me, Twylene, yes, your husband! ==Season 3 (1993)== ===''Becky Makes a Wish'' [3.1]=== :'''Billy''': You know, Becky, Midge has a great heart, but sometimes I wish she'd zip her lip. :''[unbeknownst to him, the wishing star passes him]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Billy''': ''[having seen all the disaster the star has caused]'' This is just one of those days I wish I'd stayed in bed. :''[the star passes him; in an instant, he is in bed]'' ===''Schemer's Alone'' [3.2]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, I'm here to work. What's our first step? :'''Billy''': Uh, your first step, Mr. Conductor, is to watch your step. That shelf hasn't been... ''[the shelf comes off, and Mr. Conductor slides down]'' ...nailed in. :'''Stacy''': Mr. Conductor, are you all right? :'''Mr. Conductor''': All right?! I appear for work and fall off a shelf? I've had better jobs, I'll tell ya. ===''Bully for Mr. Conductor'' [3.3]=== :'''Buster''': We'll see how tough you are after I tell my dumb uncle what happened. Then I can draw on the walls all I want. :''[he stops and looks at Mr. King, who glares at him]'' :'''Buster''': Oh, hello, Uncle J.B. I was just telling them about how well you run the railroad. :'''Mr. King''': You're already in enough trouble, Buster. Don't make it worse by lying to me. :'''Buster''': Oh, but whatever do you mean, Uncle J.B.? We were just having fun. :'''Mr. King''': Buster, we'll talk about it later.

The one you renamed Mr. Filthy? :'''Ginny''': Well, this time, he's really gone and done it. I took the turkey outta the oven, and he's lookin' at it like a pointer. And I thought: "That's kinda cute", when all of a sudden, he lunged, attacked, ran out the back door with it and tore it to shreds! ''[frets]'' And now, I don't have a turkey. :'''Kara''': Mr. Filthy is a bad dog. :'''Ginny''': From now on, his new name is Mr. Get-Outta-There. What am I gonna do? My nephew and his wife are comin' for dinner. :'''Stacy''': You know something? There's a place in Dillylick that has pre-cooked turkeys, and I'm sure they're open for at least another half an hour. :'''Ginny''': I can't make it to Dillylick. :'''Billy''': You could if I took you there. :'''Ginny''': You'd do that for me?! :'''Billy''': Sure. :'''Ginny''': ''[sets to leave]'' Oh, come on.

Real men know how to survive in the w-- :''[Stacy stuffs something in Schemer's bullhorn; Schemer lowers it]'' :'''Schemer''': Real men know how to survive in the woods using their basic instincts. For example, if we get hungry, we'll just eat bugs and bees and bark like the bears do. And if it starts raining, why we'll just build a log cabin. In short, Miss Jones, we'll be living off the land like that great American frontiersman: Pat Boone. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ginny exposes a cowering Schemer to Stacy and the children]'' :'''Schemer''': Okay, I admit it!

We'll get you dry, get you something to eat. :'''Schemer''': Oh, no, no. I don't want anymore food. I'm too full. I think I ate too many sandwiches. :'''Kara''': Hey, Schemer, how'd you get out of the creek? :'''Schemer''': Gettin' outta the creek was easy. Gettin' outta the swamp-- Now, that was hard! I pulled myself up by this branch, but then it got really scary and everything, 'cause it was dark, and I was... ''[sobs hysterically]'' I thought I was a goner, and then that was it. I thought I'd never see Schemer again. But then I heard this little whistle. :'''Stacy''': A little whistle? :''[she notices Mr. Conductor holding up his whistle before he disappears]'' :'''Schemer''': Yeah. It was like this little whistle, and I didn't know where the heck the sound came from. So I start following the sound of this little whistle, I'm going through the woods, and all of a sudden, here I am at Shining Time Station. But I was kind of afraid to come in, because I kinda thought that the kids wouldn't wanna see the old Schemer again. :'''Stacy''': Well, Schemer, it sounds like you learned your lesson the hard way. :'''Schemer''': Yeah.

Once upon a time, because it was Founder's Day, the day we celebrate the history of Shining Time Station, I was up bright and early, trying to get things ready. I shampooed the pigeons, cleaned out the wishing well, and I just begun another job. ===''Second Chances'' [Special 2]=== :''[everybody has discovered that the baseball scoreboard had been desecrated from the spray paint]'' :'''Felix''': Vandalism! Can you imagine that? Right in our own backyard! :'''Ginny''': You know, I can't understand why anyone would deface public property. :'''Stacy''': What happened? :'''Ginny''': Somebody spray-painted all over the baseball scoreboard. :'''Stacy''': Are you sure? :'''Felix''': This is a new low for our valley. :'''Ginny''': Who would do such an awful thing? :'''Kit''': ''[walks in]'' Hey, Stacy. Have you seen Billy? :'''Stacy''': Oh, uh... Yes, Kit. He's waiting for you at the ball park. :'''Kit''': Thank you. ''[leaves the lobby]'' ===''One of the Family'' [Special 3]=== :'''Kara''': ''[hands Mr. Conductor an envelope]'' This came in the mail for you today.

Who could be writing to me? :''[he extracts a letter from the envelope and reads it]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': Oh, no. No! This can't be happening! No way! :'''Kara''': What's the matter? :'''Mr. Conductor''': My sister's coming for a visit. :'''Kara''': ''You'' have a sister? :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, I know we had the same parents, and we grew up in the same house. But somewhere along the way, my little sister was raised by laughing hyenas. :'''Kara''': Little sister? How little is she? :'''Mr. Conductor''': Oh, she's grown up now, but you never know it. :'''Kara''': What do you mean? :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, you see how neat and polite I am? She's messy and rude. She got away with everything when we were kids. :'''Kara''': Like what? :'''Mr. Conductor''': One night at dinner, she took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the mashed potatoes! UGH! Another time, she took my drawings and made paper airplanes out of them! :'''Kara''': Well, she was younger then. She wouldn't do that now. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Oh? What about the time she threw my favorite mittens in the toilet?! :'''Kara''': Maybe she was just trying to have some fun. :'''Mr. Conductor''': She had fun, all right. She laughed about it for weeks. :'''Kara''': Still, it's nice when relatives come to visit, remember? <hr width="100%"/> :'''Stacy''': Harry, I'd like you to meet Billy, Billy Twofeathers.

An old favorite of mine. :'''Billy''': It's for you, Stacy! :'''Stacy''': Oh, excuse me, Harry. :''[she heads for the workshop as Billy approaches Harry]'' :'''Harry''': I was just telling Stacy my plans to build an entire steam engine... :'''Mr. King''': ''[barges into the station]'' Mr. Twofeathers!

A joker! :'''Rex''': She was just tellin' us about when you was younger. :'''Tex''': And you ran outside. :'''Rex''': And your pants fell down! :''[the band breaks into laughter]'' :'''Sister C''': Well, that's pretty much the bare facts. :'''Rex''': The naked truth. :'''Tex''': Yeah, the long and the shorts of it. :'''Mr. Conductor''': How could you?! <hr width="100%"/> :'''Schemer''': Nobody but nobody stands a chance against us.

A couple of huskies? :'''Schemer''': Better than that. :'''Schemee''': You didn't stick in little Tommy Havermeyer, the fastest kid in the valley, did ya? :'''Schemer''': No! I didn't think of that.

It is nice, isn't it? :'''Bull''': Just hand it over, mac. :'''Biff''': What it is, see,-- We're detectives. Private eyes. And we're on the trail of some hot rocks! :'''Schemer''': Hot rocks? :'''Biff''': Stolen jewelry, diamonds, pearls-- Stuff like that. We're after a lady with an English accent. She stole 'em, see?

You missed a spot. It's the window over here. You did the others, but don't miss this one. :''[Matt dusts the house] :'''Mr. Conductor''': That's a good lad. :''[he appears in front of the house, surprising Matt]'' :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Can't do a job half way. What's worth doing is worth doing well, I say. And that goes double when you're doing my windows. Because they're double-paned. A pain in the neck, and a pane to clean. Do you know what I see when I look at that clean window? :'''Matt:''' No. :'''Mr. Conductor:''' The inside of the switch house. What else would I see? Well done, lad. What's your name? :'''Matt:''' Mat--Matthew--M-- Matt! :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Or is it Matthew-Matt-Matthew? And you may call me Mr. Conductor. Well, you're a good worker. You know who'd like you? My friend Thomas. :'''Matt:''' Thomas lives in there with you? :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Dear me, no! Thomas is a steam engine, and he lives on the Island of Sodor. You are interested in trains, aren't you? :'''Matt:''' Yes, sir. :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Splendid. Then I'll tell you a story about my friend Thomas. You do like stories, don't you? :'''Matt:''' Oh, yes. :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Very well. But first, I have to find my whistle. :''[he looks in his pockets for his whistle and finds it]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': Ah! Here we go! :''[he blows his whistle and the first story begins]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry:''' There's just something about this place. ===''Does It Bite?'' [1.2]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': ''[views the new schedule]'' Impossible! Ridiculous! And foolishness! This new train schedule is tommyrot, balderdash, and cuckoo. There isn't a train on Earth that can go from Point Pokey to Cloggyville in 11 seconds. It's 14 miles, and look here-- From Doodletown to Turley in 18 hours. Well, it's impossible. Why, I can walk from Doodletown to Turley in 15 minutes, and I'm only 18 inches tall! I'll just have to write the correct times in here. :''[as he is about to, Stacy enters and notices]'' :'''Stacy''': What are you doing? Stop that! Those are the new train schedules from the railroad company. I am the only one who can change those schedules. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, it may be new, but it's ''not'' a train schedule. :'''Stacy''': Give me that pencil! :'''Mr. Conductor''': Never! You can't get from Buttertown to Chubby Corners in four seconds! ''[disappears]'' ===''Promises Promises'' [1.15]=== :'''Harry''': ''[inspects his sketch]'' And this becomes a local for Doodlehaven. :''[Mr. Conductor, as a judge, appears before him, banging his gavel]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': This meeting is called to order! :'''Harry''': I wish you'd warn me when you're going to do that. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Sorry, Harry. I'll try to remember. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. King''': Please, remove all of this equipment at once! Good day. ''[leaves]'' :'''Schemer''': Boy, oh, boy. Who does he think he is? :'''Harry''': He is J.B. King, Schemer! Superintendent of the whole railroad! :'''Schemer''': Yikes. Open foot, insert in mouth. ===''Too Many Cooks'' [1.17]=== :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': The name is Osgood Bob Flopdinger. I'm the mayor of East Shemp. And I'm looking for a man called Schemer. I never saw him before, but I know his voice. Have you seen him? :''[Stacy notices Schemer directly behind the mayor and turns the mayor around to distract him while Schemer goes into hiding elsewhere]'' :'''Stacy''': Oh. Mayor Flopdinger! We spoke on the phone earlier. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Earlier than who?! ''[calmly]'' Never mind. The point is this. Have you tried that sandwich spread of his? :'''Stacy''': Yes, I have tried it. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Well, then I don't have to tell you that this stuff is inedible by man nor beast. My shaving cream tastes better than this. :'''Stacy''': I'll tell Schemer you stopped by. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Thank you very much. And tell Mr. Schemer that if he doesn't have a new, improved version of his sandwich spread in time for lunch, he's in big trouble! And not only with me, but also with every one of the Friends of the Flowering Cactus Ladies' Auxiliary. And that's not funny. Believe me, I speak from experience. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Matt:''' Mr. Conductor, how can Schemer make such a big mistake and still be like he always is? He's not sorry or anything. :'''Mr. Conductor:''' Well, he may not have learned anything. But you have learned about helping people. And Gordon has learned the same thing. Lucky thing for Thomas that he did too. But let me begin at the beginning. ===''Things That Go Ga-Hooga! in the Night'' [1.19]=== :'''Schemer''': It's the real man with his head on backwards! It's the real man with his head on backwards! (screams and jumps over the desk) :'''Stacy''': Was that Schemer? :'''Harry''': I do believe it was. :'''Stacy''': Were his clothes on backwards? :'''Harry''': I do believe they were. ===''Is This the End?'' [1.20]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': Now, I think it ''is'' getting time for me to leave. :'''Matt''': Not yet. Please, not yet. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Now, let me tell you both something. ''[removes his hat and dries his forehead with his handkerchief]'' No matter what happens, we will always be friends. :'''Tanya''': Promise? :'''Matt''': Promise? :'''Mr. Conductor''': It's a promise! Good-bye, now. Good-bye. ''[leaves]'' :'''Tanya''': Wait! You forgot your hat. :'''Matt''': It's too late. Now he's gone forever. ==='''Tis a Gift''=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': ''[hears a horn honk outside]'' Oh! There's Midge Smoot! Don't tell her a secret. She's sure to leak it! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Stacy''': ''[on the phone]'' Hello? Shining Time Station. Stacy Jones speaking. Oh, hi, Claire. Oh, you want to bring Vickie here this afternoon? :''[Matt and Tanya quietly make signals of objection]'' :'''Stacy''': Oh, sure, no problem. Okay. Glad to be of some help. I'll see you in a little bit. ''[hangs up; to the children]'' What is your problem?! :'''Matt''': Vickie! She's horrible! :'''Stacy''': Oh, she's not horrible. :'''Tanya''': Yes, she is. She's mean and nasty and selfish and rude. :'''Stacy''': Okay, okay, okay. Now, come on. Nobody can be that bad. :'''Matt and Tanya''': Vickie can! :'''Stacy''': Oh, now come on, you guys. She must have some good qualities. Think about it. :'''Tanya''': Well,... No. :'''Stacy''': Come on, you two. :'''Matt''': Well, both her eyes are the same color. :'''Stacy''': Oh, Matt. :'''Tanya''': She never threw up on me. :'''Stacy''': Tanya! :'''Tanya''': Well, she does have a pretty good singing voice. :'''Stacy''': Great! Then you can sing carols together. :'''Tanya''': No. She never does anything you tell her to. :'''Matt''': Yeah, and she never smiles, even when you say something funny to her. :'''Stacy''': All right. Listen, you guys. I told her mother that she can come here and play, so I want you to be nice to her, okay? :'''Matt''': Will Santa know we've been nice? :'''Stacy''': Oh, yeah. Santa will know, and so will Vickie. I hope. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. King''': Miss Jones! :'''Stacy''': Yes, sir! :'''Mr. King''': There's a train leaving the station. It's... It's impossible! :'''Stacy''': No, it's not, Mr. King. Nothing's impossible, unless you stop believing in it. ==Season 2 (1991)== ===''Scare Dares'' [2.1]=== :'''Matt''': Dear Cousin Dan, I can't wait for you to get here. Shining Time Station is busier than ever. :'''Tanya''': Dear Cousin Kara, guess what? Our grandfather Harry was transferred to Fort Farley, so Shining Time Station has a new engineer. His name is Billy Twofeathers. :'''Matt''': But Schemer is still Schemer, and you know what that means. And Aunt Stacy's fine, and she's really happy running the station. A man named Mr. Nicholas came to visit us at Christmas time. Mr. Nicholas needed help at his workshop, so when he went back to his home at the North Pole, Mr. Conductor went along with him. :'''Tanya''': But then, Mr. Conductor's cousin arrived. There's always a Mr. Conductor living here, or else it wouldn't be Shining Time Station. See you on Halloween. Love, Tanya. :'''Matt''': When you get here. Your cousin, Matt. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Conductor''': Tanya Lasanya and Matt the Hatt! :''[Dan and Kara notice him]'' :'''Kara''': Look, it's Mr. Conductor! :''[Mr. Conductor disappears]'' :'''Kara''': Wait, where'd he go?! :'''Mr. Conductor''': No. You're imagining me. I'm not really here. :'''Kara''': Wait, don't be afraid of us. Harry's my grandfather and Tanya's my cousin. They told me all about Thomas and the other trains. :'''Dan''': Hey, I'm Dan Jones. Stacy's my aunt, and she told me all about your stories and your magic. :''[Mr. Conductor reappears]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': You mean you like stories, trains, and magic? Well, you've come to the right place! Let me properly introduce myself. Mr. Conductor, at your service. ===''Oh, What a Tangled Web'' [2.2]=== :'''Mr. King''': What, may I ask, is the meaning of this? :'''Schemer''': ''[sleepily]'' Do be a love and scratch my foot, won't you? ''[notices Mr. King]'' Ah, hello, J.B. ''[suddenly reacts and is now wide awake]'' Mr. J.B. King, Esq., exalted head. The meaning of this! Yes. Uh, ah, yes. The meaning of this is that it is a managerial retreat. Yes. It's especially restful for important business-type people like yourself and I. :'''Mr. King''': Put a sock in it, Schemer!! ===''The Magic is Believing'' [2.3]=== :'''Becky''': Neat!

I do! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schemer''': ''[in the opening act of the show]'' The Scheme Master right here would like to tell you a little comic riddle. ''[laughs]'' It's a killer. Okay. All right, listen, here it is. ''[laughs again]'' I love this. What is green,... ''[quietly]'' Green. ''[continues]'' ...has six legs,... ''[under his breath]'' Six legs. ''[finishes]'' ...and if it drops out of a tree on your head, it'll squish you like a bug? ''[laughs]'' Okay. Nobody can guess? I'll hafta tell ya, then. :'''Becky''': ''[raises her hand]'' I know! A pool table. :'''Stacy''': Oh!

I'm workin' hard up here! ===''Win, Lose, or Draw'' [2.4]=== :'''Stacy''': Hiya, Barton! How was the race? :'''Winslow''': It was totally ... You should've seen me. I was out at the starting gate like greased lightning, way ahead of the pack. Well, there was one cat just ahead of me. I poured on the speed. And there we were, rounding the last bend neck and neck, and then wailing down toward the finish line! I gunned it! He gunned it! Engines roared! ''[imitates engines roaring]'' What a cat! He took me! ''[calmly]'' I lost. ===''Sweet and Sour'' [2.5]=== :'''Rex''': The first job Tex and me had was inside a radio in a bank. Always had to play "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?". :'''Didi''': Well, what's why the best place to work is a train station. 'Cause you get to play songs like... :'''Tex''': ''Erie Canal''. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Midge and a group of women form a picket in front of Schemer and Schemee's stand]'' :'''Midge''': All right, ladies. Just keep going around in a circle. :'''Schemer''': Ah! My dear Midge Smoot. :'''Midge''': Don't you dare "Midge Smoot" me! Why, you're lucky my dog is better. After eating two of your cookies, he was sick all afternoon. ===''A Dog's Life'' [2.7]=== :'''Kara''': ''[after Mr. Conductor's story]'' Mr. Conductor, did you tell us that just so we'd feel better about cleaning? :'''Mr. Conductor''': I was comparing your cleaning to the mess on Ginny's farm. :Sometimes a little trouble causes great harm. :Speaking of harm and making things cleaner, :I'd better take a powder, because here comes Schemer. ''[disappears]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Schemer''': How's my little pooch, huh? :''[the dog barks at him]'' :'''Schemer''': ''[intimidated]'' Sheesh! Now, is that any way for him to treat his master?! :'''Billy''': Respect works both ways. :'''Schemer''': All right. I'll show him some respect. ''[holds out a nickel]'' Here's a nickel! :''[the dog barks at him again]'' :'''Schemer''': Now, why did he do that?! :'''Billy''': I don't know. Maybe because you tied him up and you didn't take him for a walk. You didn't feed him. You didn't clean up after him. :'''Schemer''': Anything else? :'''Billy''': You didn't play with him! ===''Field Day'' [2.8]=== :'''Stacy''': ''[looks at the new uniforms]'' Oh, boy, look at that. :'''Billy''': TST. I like the sound of that. :'''Stacy''': Yeah. ''[looks at the back]'' "The Schemer Team"? :'''Matt''': Well, Schemer did pay for the uniforms. ''[Mr. Conductor appears on his baseball bat]'' :'''Tanya''': Maybe they'll look better when they're on. :''[Matt moves his bat, causing Mr. Conductor to fall on a mitt]'' :'''Kara''': Mr. Conductor, are you okay? :'''Matt''': Sorry, Mr. Conductor. I didn't see you there. :'''Mr. Conductor''': ''[gets back on his feet]'' Oh, that's all right, Matt. Yes, Kara. I'm as right as rain. I landed as a soft pop fly, you might say. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Conductor''': Weren't you supposed to be out playing baseball? :'''Kara''': The game's not for a while yet. :'''Dan''': And anyway, we're gonna lose. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, you certainly will with that attitude. Imagine if Thomas had felt like that in the story of a famous race against Bertie. :'''Kara''': Did Thomas win? :'''Becky''': Tell us, Mr. Conductor. :'''Mr. Conductor''': I will. ===''Wrong Track'' [2.9]=== :'''Dan''': Schemer, you stole all our money! :'''Schemer''': What are you talkin' about? What money? :'''Kara''': The one for Stacy's party, and you ate all our fudge. :'''Schemer''': Hey, I did not steal any money, and I did not eat any... :''[Becky shows him the empty fudge box]'' :'''Schemer''': Frankly, I had a couple pieces. But eating the food gave me a good idea. See? Fruit cakes, made by my mommy, five cents apiece. ''[laughs]'' :'''Billy''': Schemer, did you make Becky spend all her money? :'''Schemer''': No, I didn't. :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': Did not! :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': Did not! :'''Dan and Kara''': Did too! :'''Schemer''': DID NOT! :'''Becky''': Actually, he didn't. :'''Schemer''': See? I didn't. ''[to Becky]'' I didn't? :'''Becky''': I guess I could've said no. But I just got carried away. :'''Schemer''': She could've said no, but she got carried away. :'''Billy''': Did you know the fudge was for Stacy's party? :'''Schemer''': ''[exasperatedly]'' Stacy's party. Stacy's party! Who cares about Stacy's party? Some stupid party I wasn't invited to, anyway. :'''Billy''': Oh, you do care, and you ''are'' invited. :'''Schemer''': I am? :'''Dan, Kara, and Becky''': He is? :'''Billy''': Of course he is! ''[takes Schemer's fruit cake stand]'' But it wouldn't be much of a party without fruit cakes. ===''Crackpot'' [2.11]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': I don't think it matters on what we'll collect. All of it was not straw. :'''Kara and Becky''': Straw? :'''Mr. Conductor''': Haven't I told about the time Percy ended up with a big straw collection and didn't want it? No? Well, then I'll tell you now. ''[blows whistle]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Kara''': ''[after Mr. Conductor's story]'' I'm glad the forest has grown back. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Forests do that. Leaves do, too. But friendships-- They can't grow back once they're broken. That's why we always have to take care of them. :'''Kara''': Tea sets don't grow at all. :'''Stacy''': ''[approaches with her newly-repaired teapot]'' But thank goodness for glue! :'''Kara''': ''[notices the pot's cracks]'' But it's still cracked. I'm sorry. Next time you tell me not to touch something, I won't do it. :'''Stacy''': Apology accepted. But you know, besides, I like these cracks. It gives it character, and it makes me think of all of you. :'''Mr. Conductor''': Stacy, are you calling me a crackpot?! ===''Stop the Press'' [2.14]=== :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Scoop! Where is this Scoop?! I'm lookin' for this nincompoop Scoop! :'''Scoop''': Mr. Mayor, here I am, Your Honor. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': ''[holds out his newspaper]'' Are you the author of this journalistic gobbledygook? :'''Scoop''': The story on your campaign speech. Yes, sir. I wrote that. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': ''[hands Scoop the paper]'' Well, go ahead and read it. Read it right now, right there. :'''Scoop''': ''[reads the article]'' "His Honor said that he was here tonight to talk garbage." Well? :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Well, I said I was there to talk ''about'' garbage! Trash collections. Clean streets. Recycling. :'''Scoop''': Oh. Sorry. :'''Mayor Flopdinger''': Sorry? Well, what are you gonna do about it? :'''Scoop''': We'll print a retraction in tomorrow's paper. No problem. ===''Double Trouble'' [2.16]=== :''[the two Mr. Conductors confront each other]'' :'''Mr. Conductor''': He's not me! :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': Yes, I am! :'''Mr. Conductor''': I'm much taller! :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': No, you're not! :'''Mr. Conductor''': You're fatter, though. :'''Evil Mr. Conductor''': No, I'm not!

It's my wife's birthday! :'''Schemer''': I'm sorry, it's his wife's birthday! Her name is Tuna Melt, and she's crispy on the outside, and she's soft on the inside. That's her name, and...

It's me, Twylene, yes, your husband! ==Season 3 (1993)== ===''Becky Makes a Wish'' [3.1]=== :'''Billy''': You know, Becky, Midge has a great heart, but sometimes I wish she'd zip her lip. :''[unbeknownst to him, the wishing star passes him]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Billy''': ''[having seen all the disaster the star has caused]'' This is just one of those days I wish I'd stayed in bed. :''[the star passes him; in an instant, he is in bed]'' ===''Schemer's Alone'' [3.2]=== :'''Mr. Conductor''': Well, I'm here to work. What's our first step? :'''Billy''': Uh, your first step, Mr. Conductor, is to watch your step. That shelf hasn't been... ''[the shelf comes off, and Mr. Conductor slides down]'' ...nailed in. :'''Stacy''': Mr. Conductor, are you all right? :'''Mr. Conductor''': All right?! I appear for work and fall off a shelf? I've had better jobs, I'll tell ya. ===''Bully for Mr. Conductor'' [3.3]=== :'''Buster''': We'll see how tough you are after I tell my dumb uncle what happened. Then I can draw on the walls all I want. :''[he stops and looks at Mr. King, who glares at him]'' :'''Buster''': Oh, hello, Uncle J.B. I was just telling them about how well you run the railroad. :'''Mr. King''': You're already in enough trouble, Buster. Don't make it worse by lying to me. :'''Buster''': Oh, but whatever do you mean, Uncle J.B.? We were just having fun. :'''Mr. King''': Buster, we'll talk about it later. ''[points to the exit]'' Wait for me outside. :'''Buster''': ''[upset]'' I never get to have any fun.

The one you renamed Mr. Filthy? :'''Ginny''': Well, this time, he's really gone and done it. I took the turkey outta the oven, and he's lookin' at it like a pointer. And I thought: "That's kinda cute", when all of a sudden, he lunged, attacked, ran out the back door with it and tore it to shreds! ''[frets]'' And now, I don't have a turkey. :'''Kara''': Mr. Filthy is a bad dog. :'''Ginny''': From now on, his new name is Mr. Get-Outta-There. What am I gonna do? My nephew and his wife are comin' for dinner. :'''Stacy''': You know something? There's a place in Dillylick that has pre-cooked turkeys, and I'm sure they're open for at least another half an hour. :'''Ginny''': I can't make it to Dillylick. :'''Billy''': You could if I took you there. :'''Ginny''': You'd do that for me?! :'''Billy''': Sure. :'''Ginny''': ''[sets to leave]'' Oh, come on. Let's go. Time's a-wastin'! ===''Schemer Goes Camping'' [3.10]=== :'''Becky''': Stacy, we're not going camping in the rain, are we? :'''Stacy''': No. I think we're gonna have to camp out in the station tonight. :'''Schemer''': ''[laughs]'' Camp out in the station.

Real men know how to survive in the w-- :''[Stacy stuffs something in Schemer's bullhorn; Schemer lowers it]'' :'''Schemer''': Real men know how to survive in the woods using their basic instincts. For example, if we get hungry, we'll just eat bugs and bees and bark like the bears do. And if it starts raining, why we'll just build a log cabin. In short, Miss Jones, we'll be living off the land like that great American frontiersman: Pat Boone. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Ginny exposes a cowering Schemer to Stacy and the children]'' :'''Schemer''': Okay, I admit it! I admit it! I don't know anything about camping! But please! Please! Please keep that mountain lion away from me! :'''Ginny''': Mountain lion? There are no mountain lions in this neck of the woods. :'''Schemer''': Yes, there are! It's a mountain lion! It had a big furry tail, and little eyes, and little tiny legs, and... ''[imitates chomping]'' Chompin' on nuts. :'''Stacy''': Oh, Schemer. That does not sound like a mountain lion. To me, it sounds like a squirrel. :'''Schemer''': A squirrel? ''[calms down]'' Well, it sure looked like a mountain lion. :'''Stacy''': Okay, Schemer. Why don't you come here and sit down with us? We'll get you dry, get you something to eat. :'''Schemer''': Oh, no, no. I don't want anymore food. I'm too full. I think I ate too many sandwiches. :'''Kara''': Hey, Schemer, how'd you get out of the creek? :'''Schemer''': Gettin' outta the creek was easy. Gettin' outta the swamp-- Now, that was hard! I pulled myself up by this branch, but then it got really scary and everything, 'cause it was dark, and I was... ''[sobs hysterically]'' I thought I was a goner, and then that was it. I thought I'd never see Schemer again. But then I heard this little whistle. :'''Stacy''': A little whistle? :''[she notices Mr. Conductor holding up his whistle before he disappears]'' :'''Schemer''': Yeah. It was like this little whistle, and I didn't know where the heck the sound came from. So I start following the sound of this little whistle, I'm going through the woods, and all of a sudden, here I am at Shining Time Station. But I was kind of afraid to come in, because I kinda thought that the kids wouldn't wanna see the old Schemer again. :'''Stacy''': Well, Schemer, it sounds like you learned your lesson the hard way. :'''Schemer''': Yeah. Never go campin' without my mommy. I'm a failure. ===''Mr. Conductor's Evil Twin'' [3.11]=== :'''Evil Mr. Conductor:''' I won't go back! Not this time!

I think if we talk to Mr. King and explain what happened, everything will be all right, just as long as it doesn't happen again. :''[Mr. Conductor appears]'' :'''Stacy''': Oh, Mr. Conductor.

He wouldn't leave them about, he thought of them as working drawings. I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there.

It is hosted by professional [[w:Magic (illusion)|magician]]s/[[w:Comedian|comedians]] [[Penn & Teller]], and inherits their characteristically blunt, aggressive presentation. The show aims to debunk an array of popular misconceptions, sometimes [[w:supernatural|supernatural]] in nature. It criticizes proponents of such things, often citing ulterior or financial motives. The stated aim of the show is to apply [[critical thinking]] to misconceptions. == Season 1 == === Talking to the Dead [1.01] === :[''First lines''] :'''Penn''': [''Posing over a fake grave of Harry Houdini''] Harry, can you believe it? The same bullshit you so ''thoroughly'' debunked almost a century ago is continuing, and even enjoying a resurgence. [''To camera''] See? Anyone can talk to the dead. Getting an answer, that's the hard part. :'''Teller''': [''Through the plastic gravestone''] Bullshit! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': [''Penn explains why there is so much vulgarity on the show''] You'll notice much more obscenity than we usually use. That's not just because it's on Showtime, and we want to get some attention. It's also a legal matter. If one calls people liars and quacks, one can be sued and lose a lot of one's money. But "motherfuckers" and "assholes" is pretty safe. If we said it was all scams, we could also be in trouble. But "bullshit," oddly, is safe. So, forgive all the bullshit language. We're trying to talk about the truth without spending the rest of our lives in court because of litigious motherfuckers! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Before we bust up this party—and God dammit we're gonna bust it up—we have to make it very clear where our hearts are. We have nothing but empathy for the people who are experiencing the loss and grief of the death of a loved one. That guy who lost his mom rips my heart out. I'm a momma's boy whose mom died a couple of years ago, and I'll never get over it, and my dad died at around the same time, and I was very close to both of them. I loved them so much there isn't a moment that goes by that I don't miss them. Houdini didn't really go nuts busting these mediums until he lost his mom. Once you've felt that pure grief, seeing it exploited can take away your sense of humor. Once a loved one has died, all we have is our memories of them. There is nothing more precious to me than my memories of my mom and dad. We don't give a rat's ass about the money these bastards are taking from the grief stricken; what we do care about deeply is the desecration of memories. These "performance artists" are, in a very real sense, motherfuckers. That poor guy's grieving memories of his mother are now all fucked up by somebody else's images. All he will ever have left of his mom are memories, and this pig has pissed on those for a buck and a little unearned fame. I'm sure these lame fucks tell themselves that they're easing the grief, but skits for money can not replace loving memories. How low do you have to be to exploit someone's true grief to sell some bullshit book? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': One of the weird things Houdini discovered is that some of these mediums actually slip into believing their own bullshit. They forget their own misses, or as John Edward—"the ''Biggest'' Douche in the Universe"—does, rewrite them as hits that we're just not able to recognize. Cold reading can be done accidentally. That doesn't mean the psychic is a better person. Lying to themselves does not make lying to others OK. It can make intellectually lazy scumbags more convincing and dangerous. But even if these fucks ''know'' they're just making this shit up and pushing people's buttons, they tell themselves, "At least I'm comforting the bereaved." Who the ''fuck'' are they to decide that lying about the universe and a dead loved one is what the bereaved ''needs''!? That's condescending ''bullshit''! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': You don't heal a broken heart by pretending it's not broken. === Alternative Medicine [1.02] === :[''Opening lines. Teller is said to have a number of symptoms''] :'''Penn''': Teller's been feeling a little down lately. He's had bouts of low energy, low endorphins, delusions, hallucinations, depression, a touch of carpal tunnel syndrome, Lyme's disease, cataracts, glaucoma, sciatica, a few retinal disorders, cancer, acid indigestion, autism brain damage, macular degeneration, eczema, and most heartbreaking of all: bed-wetting. We're gonna see if we can cure him ''without'' the bother of going to a doctor. Let's try some bullshit! <hr width="50%"/> :[''After hearing that magnet therapy could be addictive if a patient puts magnets on their head at all times''] :'''Penn''': So magnets are a cheap, legal high. Why is anyone using crack?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doctor Brickerhoff''': Let me hear you say "Hallelujah!" :'''Trucker''': Hallelujah! :'''Penn''': A lot of real scientists make you say "Hallelujah!" === Alien Abductions [1.03] === :'''Penn''': Ahh, yes! The famous alien probe! So versatile it works into any orifice. No matter how [menacing] it looks, abductees all ''love'' the probe! <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[David Icke]]''': If we could see beyond the limitations of our five senses, we would see George Bush the Father and George Bush the Son as reptilian entities. :'''Penn''': [''semi-sarcastically''] You know, this is the first thing anyone's said that makes sense. === End of the World [1.04] === :'''Penn''': So, when does Bruce believe the bombs will start dropping? :'''Bruce Beech''': The date which a lot of people feel right at this moment is about the 8th of December. :'''Penn''': Relax! He's talking about 2002 [''which had passed'']. You can start breathing again! :[''Bruce Beech laughs hysterically''] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': You know, when you hear about people predicting the end of the world, they're always predicting 60 to 90 % of the world's population is going to get killed. It's odd how they're always planning on what ''they're'' going to do when everyone else is dead. Teller and I have always played the odds, so, we're betting we're gonna die. You should see our credit card bills. They're higher than our cholesterol! Good thing we don't plan on paying 'em! [''microphone appears''] I'm sure that we— :'''Cameraman''': Cut! Cut. The mic was in the shot. We have to go again. :'''Penn''': Fuck you, it's the end of the world! If you live, you can fix it in post. <hr width="50%"/> :'''John Hogue''': John Hogue; rogue scholar! :'''Penn''': Get it? Hogue! Rogue! It rhymes! And scholar, well... not a chance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cameraman''': Do you think that this tape will ever air? :'''Bruce Beach''': I don't give that a very high rate of probability. <hr width="50%"/> :[''on the subject of decoding Nostradamus' writings''] :'''John Hogue''': Quatrain 97 of century, Volume 6 reads, "At 45 degrees latitude, the sky will burn. Fire approaches the great New City." At latitude 45 degrees the only new city since Nostradamus' time that you could call great and new and vast is the city that rests between 40 degrees and 41 degrees latitude, which is Manhattan and New York. Now... that's a little off. :'''James Randi''': Then, he's way off up in Canada or some place. […] When [Nostradamus] said "New City," he was referring to Naples [Italy]. He refers to it several times throughout his writings and makes it clear that he's talking about Naples. ''Not'' New York City. === Sex, Sex, Sex [1.06] === :'''Penn''': Naked people are their own reward. === Feng Shui/Bottled Water [1.07] === :[''After identical twins get the same exact haircut, one from a barber, the second one from a Feng Shui hairstylist''] :'''Penn''': Conclusion: it's bullshit! Save your money and go see Joe... and we'll tell you you're sex-ay for free! <hr width="50%"/> :[''Teller is on a stack of chairs, which fall over''] :'''Penn''': [''on the subject of Feng Shui''] You know, Teller, I find it silly that some people think that how you arrange your furniture can affect your health. It seems so...so...so...hmmm, stupid. [''drinks out of'' Penn & Teller: Bullshit ''bottled water''] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': [''on the subject of bottled water''] Consumers are offered water with names conveying pure and pristine water sources. Ever hear of Alaskan Falls water? That must come from the crystal-clear glacial waters of our 49th state, right? Sorry, folks. Alaskan flows from this liquibox corporation building in Worthington, Ohio. Does the brand Yosemite conjure up visions of the cool, pristine waters rushing through California's high sierras? Well, then the marketers have done their jobs. The source of Yosemite bottled water is actually 400 miles away in Northwest Los Angeles. How about Everest Water? Could our piddly show possibly afford to send a camera crew to Nepal? NOT NECESSARY. Everest comes from the industrial section of Corpus Cristi, Texas! In fact, if you read the fine print on the FUCKING LABEL, they even admit that the water comes from a MUNICIPAL SOURCE! THAT IS TAP WATER, brothers and sisters of the cult of the bottle! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': In much of the rest of the world, [drinking] tap water equals rapid and severe weight loss, with the introduction of new, probably harmful, friends to your intestines and other organs. Are we so ashamed of our wonderful tap water, that we have to disguise it? === ESP [1.10] === :[''Teller is acting as a pet psychic by finding out what a turtle is thinking through ESP''] :'''Penn''': I'm a pet psychic... psychic! I can tell you what your pet psychic is thinking and feeling. Your pet psychic is thinking "This is safe. No one can contradict me and realize I'm lying. I don't even have the balls to be a human psychic. I feel like such a pile of bullshit!" === Eat This! [1.11] === :'''Penn''': When he &#91;''[[Norman Borlaug]]''&#93; won the Nobel Prize in 1970, they said he had saved a ''billion'' people. That's BILLION! "BUH!" That's [[Carl Sagan]] billion with a "B". And most of them were of different race from him. Norman is the greatest human being. And you've probably never heard of him. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Throughout history there's never been an overabundance of food. All food is the product of technology; apples, corn, tomatoes, all modified. Every food has been changed through selective breeding or grafting. For ten thousand years each attempt at improvement has changed the DNA of the plant. Now some people are up-in-arms about changes in DNA. Well, you know what? If you’re able to get up and have food, you should celebrate. We should all dance about how much food we have. Why is anyone fighting food advance? A very small percentage of the world's population is fortunate enough to have the luxury of turning down food. The rest of the world spends most of its time trying to get any food. You know why? Technological problems. They got dirt, they got water, they got sun. They lack the technical ability to till or enrich the soil. They lack the machines to plant enough to feed their families. They lack the ''hybrid plants'' that produce more food per acre. We need to spread all the technology all we can, so all people everywhere can deal with the problem of too much food. We can't start getting picky because we've got enough food—that's just self-centered and racist. Unless you and yours are starving, you need to '''''shut the fuck up!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Norman Borlaug''': [''on the possibility of a world-wide switch to organic farming''] We are almost 6.6 billion people, now. We can only feed about two-thirds of them. I don't see 2 billion volunteers to disappear. <hr width="50%"/> :''[after some raw-foodists try to foist their food on other people, being rejected in the process]'' :'''Penn''': We're pretty sure that if you live in a beach-house in the US, you probably shouldn't be trying to tell starving people in the rest of the world that you're fighting the technology that could feed their children. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Norman Borlaug''': You can't build a peaceful world on empty stomachs and human misery. === Ouija Board - Near Death Experiences [1.12] === :'''Penn''': There are two things you say for sure about the Ouija board. One, it'll set you back about twenty bucks. Two, it's bullshit! == Season 2 == === P.E.T.A. [2.01] === :[''Opening lines. Penn and Teller are standing in front of a bull - the bull moos.] :'''Penn''': You might be wondering what our... friend is doing here. Well, he's one of the many creators of... bullshit! And he's in the best of interest in this show because we're taking a look at the animal rights movement in general, and more specifically, a group called PETA - '''P'''eople for the '''E'''thical '''T'''reatment of '''A'''nimals. These are folks who don't want animals killed, hurt, exploited or... embarrassed. Okay, we're gonna try it their way. We aren't gonna tease or abuse the bull. He doesn't have a cute name like... Elsie or... Moo-Moo or... Heifer Lips. His name is Dave. ''Nothing'' funny about that. We wouldn't do anything to this animal that we wouldn't do to each other. So... call him Dave. Here you go... :''[Penn applies a branding iron that says "BULLSHIT!" to Teller's right buttock.]''. :'''Teller''': ''[off-camera]'' Mother-FUCKER! Oh... :'''Penn''': Hey, cool, Dave! He ''can'' talk! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Ethical means '''moral''' or '''proper''' which differs for every person, it's something to discuss! It's not an absolute, it just sounds nice, it's like 'pro-choice' and 'pro-life', I mean, c'mon! Everyone is pro-choice ''and'' pro-life! It's for or against ''abortion'' that your group is about, and who ''wouldn't'' wanna treat animals ethically, anyway? I mean nobody gets off slapping their monkey or choking their chicken or roughing up their clam! <hr width="50%"/> :''[On the influence of the animal rights movement].'' :'''Jerry Vlasak''': This is a struggle for equality that is no different from all the other civil rights struggles before it. :'''Dennis Prager''': The foolishness of that statement is so deep, that I can only ascribe it to higher education: you '''have''' to have gone to college to have learnt to say something ''that'' stupid. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': SHOWS LIKE ''THIS''!? What shows like this? Is HBO running a show called “Horse Shit” or “Crock-a-Shit”? What other shit shows are there out there? We ''rule'' shit! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': In just a month after animals were released, they would be back in animal prison for trespassing, failure to pay their taxes, assaulting people—and each other, and for fucking and shitting all over the shitty, fuckin' place! Life is not Disney bullshit where the lions and pigs and... meerkats get together and sing songs. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jerry Vlasak''': I think that violence and non-violence are not moral principles, they're tactics. :'''Penn''': '''''WHAT?!''''' :'''Jerry Vlasak''': Violence and non-violence are not moral principles, they're tactics. :'''Penn''': Sweet evil Jesus! ''What did he say?'' :'''Jerry Vlasak''': Violence and non-violence are not moral principles, they're tactics. :'''Penn''': "Ethical," my achin' ass! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': The PETA you don't know would outlaw fishing, circuses, dog shows, horseback riding and zoos. They even oppose using service animals like eye-dogs for the blind. Fucking blind bastards torturing those dogs! In PETA, there's no room for Kentucky Fried Chicken, or the Kentucky Derby. See you, Shamu! And forget about smearing honey all over your fuck buddy, because even bees are persecuted by the man. And pets are forbidden in PETA's world too. That's right! No pets. Hey all you pet lovers who donate to PETA, feel like a sucker yet? <hr width="50%"/> :''[On PETA's usage of Holocaust footage for its campaigns].'' :'''Dennis Prager''': We have a generation here in America, of young people, who don't know what evil is [''cf. generations past'']. They've never suffered. They don't know Nazism. They don't know Communism. They don't know torture. They don't know concentration camps. And so, they're so naive, that they think the worst evil is done to animals and the environment. === War on Drugs [2.04] === :'''Penn''': ''[Teller shows a pan]'' This is drugs. ''[Teller shows some eggs, with the description of several types of civil liberties written on them]'' These are your liberties. ''[cut to Penn on a steamroller]'' AND THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT. :''[Penn runs a steamroller ("the government") over the pan ("drugs") and the eggs ("civil liberties"), crushing them.]'' :'''Penn''': Any questions? === Recycling [2.05] === :[''On recycling jobs, watching workers sort through garbage on a conveyor belt''] :'''Penn''': [''sarcastically, shouting over the roaring machinery''] Man! These are GREAT FUCKING JOBS! If only we didn't have to be LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINERS and TV HOSTS! === The Bible: Fact or Fiction? [2.06] === :'''Penn''': It's fair to say that the Bible contains equal amounts of fact, history, and pizza. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Now why wouldn't God just ''appear'' to Pharaoh, and say it himself? Because God works in mysterious, inefficient, and ''breathtakingly'' cruel ways. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Monty Python's ''Life of Brian'' was more historically accurate than Mel Gibson's ''The Passion of the Christ''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''' ''[repeatedly]'': Elvis didn't do no drugs! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': God works in mysterious, inefficient, and breathtakingly cruel ways. :* this statement is a rebuke to the famous assertion by [[William Cowper]]: "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Take some time and put the Bible on your summer reading list. Try and stick with it ''cover'' to ''cover''. Not because it teaches history; we've shown you it doesn't. Read it because you'll see for ''yourself'' what the Bible is all about. It ''sure'' isn't great literature. If it were published as fiction, no reviewer would give it a passing grade. There are some vivid scenes and some quotable phrases, but there's no plot, no structure, there's a tremendous amount of filler, and the characters are painfully one-dimensional. '''Whatever you do, don't read the Bible for a moral code: it advocates prejudice, cruelty, superstition, and murder. Read it because: we need more atheists — and ''nothin' '' will get you there faster than readin' the damn Bible.''' === New Age [2.07] === :'''Penn''': Sedona, Arizona. Home of beautiful red rock ass canyons, scenic desert landscapes... and every crystal-sucking, vortex-fucking asshole out to make a few bucks off of [[w:New Age|New Age]] hippie bullshit! <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Sasha Lessin "explained" the tantric sex.]'' :'''Penn''': See, even he doesn't believe it, he can't explain it, he just likes to FUCK!. === Profanity [2.10] === :<span id="bowling-ball"></span>''[Penn and Teller return after a segment on anti-profanity advocate Ginny Foster, who suggests saying "Santa vaca!" instead.]'' :'''Penn''': "Saint cow." So, she is literally saying, "Holy cow!," in Spanish. But "holy cow" is a derogatory reference to the Hindu belief in the sacredness of cows. Ginny certainly doesn't ''believe'' in the holiness of cows, so taking ''that'' Lord's name in vain is perfectly acceptable. She doesn't buy the holy-cow myth. Therefore, if you didn't actually believe that Jesus is God—and most of the world doesn't—if you were, for example, a Hindu, shouting— :''[Teller drops a bowling ball on Penn's foot.]'' :'''Penn''': … JESUS CHRIST'S! … ''name''… in a situation where you… or someone you know, ''somehow'', accidentally… dropped a bowling ball on your FOOT… would be, by Ginny's standards… perfectly polite. [''Penn looks like he wants to smack Teller.''] ===Hypnosis [2.13] === :<span id="cinderblock"></span>''[Opening lines. Teller swings a clock on a string in front of Penn's face.]'' :'''Teller (off-screen)''': Your eyes are so heavy now, so heavy, they ''burn!'' Close them! Close them and feel yourself sinking down... ''down!'' [Teller puts the clock in his pocket and lays a cinder block on Penn's body] Feel your body tingling, and becoming absolutely rigid, rigid as a heavy wooden ''beam!'' [''Teller then grabs a sledgehammer''] And now, the tingling resumes, and you are feeling no... pain— :''[As Teller is about to smash the cinderblock, Penn interrupts.]'' :'''Penn''': Hold the phone! Before we do this, let's make sure hypnotism isn't bullshit. == Season 3 == === Family Values [3.02] === :'''Penn''': The most frequent question we get asked about this show is, why would ''assholes'' like Brian Brown and Michael Medved come on a show called ''Bullshit!'' to get called "assholes"? We do not ''lie'' to them; we make sure they know all about the show. We give them copies of past shows, and it's always pretty clear which side of the issue we're gonna be on. The long answer is that people who come on this show generally consider themselves to be bulletproof. Most have never talked to ''anyone'' with a dissenting view, and ''certainly'' no one with a real research team, like ours. If you say something on our show, we check it. If you lie or make something up, we know. But we're fair—we never take people out of context. We're biased as all fuck, but we ''try'' to be honest. Now, that's the long answer. The short answer? ''[Penn and Teller shrug.]'' === Conspiracy Theories [3.03] === :''[Penn speaks of the deaths during the [[w:September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 attacks]].]'' :'''Penn''': And that's something we should ''never'' forget. But to conspiracy nuts, death and suffering… are just heart-pounding ''entertainment''. They whack to tragedy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Eric Hoffschmidt''': My first reaction to Flight 93, was that the Military, after the towers had been hit, said "Uh-oh... wait a minute. ''That's'' not part of the plan! What is ''that'' plane gonna do? Shoot it!" <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Jimmy Walter|Jimmy Walter]]''': I firmly believe that most of the alleged passengers on the alleged hijacked planes are still alive and quite frankly, I think they were all probably working for the government. :'''Penn''': Fuck you! We really hope this fuck-up runs into a family member of someone who's died. They may not take kindly to the idea that Daddy's faking his death somewhere. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Penn & Teller are mocking the Moon Landing Hoax Conspiracy on a stage set w/ Penn as director]'' :'''Penn''': CUT! Jesus fucking Christ, Neil! How many times do we have to try this? "One small step for ''A'' man", not ''man''. ''A'' man! And that's YOU! Everybody take five. Neil, practice your fucking lines! Ooh yeah, let's use ''real'' pilots. I wanna use real pilots! [''to the camera''] Faking the Moon Landing is easy. You need dirt, wardrobe, a sound stage, a lot of black paints, and some stupid suits. The hard part is shutting people up. It's been 36 years! You'd think the technicians, and prop people, camera people, directors, everyone who works at NASA, and the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, and all the nice folks at Cape Carnaval in Florida, plus members of the US Congress and the White House all shut up about this amazing cover-up for all that time? The Government couldn't even fucking cover up a break-in to a psychiatrist's office in a fucking cheesy hotel! Watergate is the answer to all this shit. If they couldn't cover that up, they fucking can't do anything. <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Clyde Lewis|Clyde Lewis]]''': Do you really think that one morning in November 1963, Lee Oswald just got up and said "I'm gonna shoot the President today"? :'''Penn''': Yes, but that's not a very sexy answer! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': If the conspiracy [''to kill President Kennedy''] is so big and evil, why hasn't it killed Jim [Marrs]? And how did crazy Oliver Stone's movie [''JFK (1991)''] ever come out? <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[w:Vincent Bugliosi|Vincent Bugliosi]]''': Instinctively, people find it incongruous that this could all happen as the result of the coincidental meeting of the President and a lone nut. They feel that a greater conspiracy has to be involved. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Second gunman my aching ass! === Life Coaching [3.04] === :'''Penn''': We don't know what the "center of our being" really is, but we hope it's chocolate cream! === Holier than Thou [3.05] === :'''Penn''': I sure hope Hell is bullshit, too, 'cause if not, we are going there for this one. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Penn compares [[w:Tibet|Tibet]] under Chinese rule vs. the [[Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama]]'s rule.]'' :'''Penn''': "Since Mr. Lama has been run out of Tibet, the Chinese have introduced secular education, running water and electricity so maybe life is a bit better on the ground there. Of course, the Chinese have also thrown thousands in labor camps and prisons, stomped out as much free speech as possible, and there's that whole fucked up Communism bullshit. But if you ask Tenzin Gyatso, dba Lama—what is it with these holy people and their aliases? His Holiness will tell you that he ''must'' return to power "for the good of his people." In this case, "good" may translate into his people living in squalor and his government condoning slavery. Remember, the lesser of two evils… is still evil. And the enemy of my enemy... is not my friend." === College [3.06] === :'''Penn''': We're ''all'' offended, all the time, and we don't have a fucking right ''not'' to be offended! A free country is a marketplace of ideas, and college should be ''more'' free, not less. :'''Penn''': Americans believe everybody deserves freedom to move up in the world. That's a great thing. But if moving up means spending four years in a beer commercial run by politeness police, maybe you should think twice. :'''Alan Kors''': What universities are saying by these codes, special protections and double standards to women, to blacks, to Hispanics, to gay and lesbian students, is: "You are too weak to live with freedom. You are too weak to live with the [[First Amendment]]." If someone tells you are too weak to live with freedom, they have turned you into a child. === Big Brother [3.07] === :''[Penn discusses the 2001 [[w:USA PATRIOT Act|Patriot Act]].]'' :'''Penn''': The lawmakers ''didn't even read the law'' before they passed it. Assholes! All that protects us from their ''evil'' is their incompetence. :''[Penn discusses the 2001 [[w:USA PATRIOT Act|Patriot Act]].]'' :'''Penn (voiceover)''': We can get more federal agents. Wow. What do we have to give in return? :''[cut to penn and teller]'' :'''Penn''': We have to give the government more power, but what power? The patriot act is "an act to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes". Other purposes? What the fuck is that all about? Other purposes. You shouldn't even allow that kind of loose language in a fucking gym membership contract. === Gun Control [3.09] === :'''Penn''': You can't stop an insane person from doing insane things by passing insane laws. :'''Penn''': You see maybe Mr. Smug can call the police against a gang banger, but who does he call against the police? === Ghostbusters [3.10] === :''[Penn tells a campfire ghost-story version of the Texas ghost investigators' hotel experience.]'' :'''Penn''': And then, the [[w:Pseudoscience|pseudo-scientists]] dressed in leather stumbled ''clumsily'' around the well-lit bedroom. One of them said, the night before, she felt a presence. And the other two… ''believed'' her! A battery… went ''dead''. And then the video screen got… got a little weird for a few seconds. They took ''lots and lots'' of pictures, and weeks later, when they were developed, a couple of them had [[w:Lens flare|lens flare]], and they didn't remember fucking up the pictures! And then, the electromagnetic gizmo, that they hadn't calibrated at ''all''… (Dramatic voice) WENT FROM ''"3"'' TO ''"7"''! (Teller faints) == Season 4 == === Boy Scouts [4.01] === :'''Penn''': You'd think our Bullshit! experiment would settle the whole "gay" thing. But then there's ''this'' asshole! :'''Hans Zyger''': As the homosexual movement became much more entrenched into American culture starting in the late 60's...it really became an opportunity for pedophiles to make a mass assault on the [[Boy Scouts]]. :'''Penn''': Fuck you in the neck, mother fucker! === Cryptozoology [4.04] === :''[Penn introduces the subject after mentioning a few examples.]'' : '''Penn''': These people call what they do "[[w:cryptozoology|cryptozoology]]" — "-[[w:zoology|zoology]]" meaning "the study of animals", and "[[wikt:crypto-|crypto-]]" meaning "shit we made up". === Pet Love [4.06] === :'''Penn''': Our pal Dino has a Woman/Cat theory. With each additional cat over two, the crazy increases exponentially. 3 cats, 27 times as crazy. 4 cats, 256 times. By the time you get to 78 cats, you have all the crazy in the free world. :''[Penn closes the show.]'' : '''Penn''': There are so many people in the world who need our help, that it's ''sickening'' to spend all this money on pets. What about people? Couldn't all the money spent for fake dog balls, diamond collars, and cat food be spent to help people? Sure it could! But I have original mono copies of [[Bob Dylan]]'s early albums ''[…]'' Teller has an original bondage cross and handcuffs that [[Harry Houdini|Houdini]] owned ''[…]'' We both spend three ''bucks'' for a cup of coffee, and live in houses that are ''way'' more than our families need. All that money could ''certainly'' go to helping people, too. Pets are more bullshit that people waste money on. But fuck, we're in [[English proverbs#glass-houses|glass houses]] on this one. === Reparations [4.07] === :''[In the segment on American Indians, Penn reviews past wrongs.]'' : '''Penn''': The white man gave Indians blankets laced with smallpox, massacred them, broke every treaty they signed, and stole their land. And let's not forget ''[[w:F Troop|F Troop]]''. === Manners [4.08] === :''[Teller entertains diner guests with a floating bread roll trick while Penn continues.]'' :'''Penn''': Manners are habits we can cultivate to help us remain considerate of others, even when we're not thinking about it. Of course, ''real'' thoughtful consideration for others can ''easily'' replace manners. Teller considers that our guests might like to see how the trick works. Thank you, Teller. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': In a recent poll, eight out of ten Americans said rudeness is a serious problem. The other two told our pollster to fuck off! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. John Mayer''': My postulate is that people are rude— :'''Penn''': Oh! There it is! Thank you, folks! Good night, everybody! :[''The credits roll, but then cut back to the show''] :'''Penn''': What? There's more show? Damn! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gloria''': If you're in a restaurant with a tablecloth, you do not eat a hamburger with your fingers. Rather, you take your knife, cut it in half, and eat one half. :'''Penn''': (voice over) Have some self-respect, Gloria. If the chef at this world-class restaurant thought his hamburger would be better eaten in halves, he would have ''cut the fucking sandwich himself!! You ignorant, self-serving, kill-joy, nit-picking, burger-cutting bitch!!'' Whore! Asshole! Cunt. === Abstinence [4.10] === :''[The scene cuts to a woman walking through a parking lot carrying large manila shipping envelopes.]'' :'''Penn''': To learn about abstinence, we told our producer we wanted to talk to a woman with really… huge… envelopes. He's foreign. He didn't know that in America, every plural noun means "tits". <hr width="50%"/> :'''[[Joycelyn Elders]]''': I'm against abstinence programs because I really consider "abstinence only" child abuse. :'''Penn''': Oh, SNAP. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Today, a disturbing 35% of our school districts require that abstinence be taught as the ''only'' option for teens. Even worse, these programs prohibit the discussion of contraception, unless it's about that ''stupid'' small percentage of time when it doesn't work. Fuck! When did Washington turn into the Vatican? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Steve Trombley, Chicago president/CEO of [[w:Planned Parenthood|Planned Parenthood]], talks about "abstinence only" programs.]'' :'''Steve Trombley''': I think, in fact, we should really call it "ignorance only" education. : . . . :'''Steve Trombley''': We teach abstinence in every course we do… :'''Penn''': ''[voiceover]'' Yeah! Planned Parenthood tells kids not having sex is okay, too! The difference is they realize that kids don't fucking listen. :'''Steve Trombley''': But we also live in the real world, and we know that over half of teenagers in this country engage in sexual activity. :''[Cut back to Elders.]'' :'''Joycelyn Elders''': We've tried ignorance for a thousand years. It's time we try education. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Now, we're not saying you should have sex because so many other people are. We're saying you should make your ''own'' rules, decide what's good for ''you'', based on what you ''think'' is important. And don't let ''anything'' be thrust into you against your will — not a ''dick'', and not someone else's psycho-religious kink. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': So what have we learned? The U.S. government continues to dump hundreds of millions of our dollars a year into misleading, religion-based, anti-sex education. The only good thing about the program? It doesn't work. Most kids just ignore it. Sure, we're throwing away ''money'', but only really religious kids are hurt by it. Our religion-based government can't fuck us up on this because bullshit detection is written into our genes. The sex switch gets turned on at puberty, and no matter how much government or religion twists the truth, they're fighting the honest beauty of love and sex. That's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. == Season 5 == === Obesity [5.01] === :''[Penn talks about how people should not try to stop eating because we are wired to eat.]'' :'''Penn''': If you have the willpower to overcome several billion years of evolution, cool, more for the rest of us. And you can stop fucking too, cool, more for the rest of us. Thanks. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': You know, our pal [[Marvin Minsky]], pioneer of Artificial Intelligence at MIT, says: "I don't work out because we don't know yet enough about the long-term effects. It appears that each hour of exercise may add two hours to one's life - but I don't know of any evidence that this leads to getting better ideas." === Wal-Mart [5.02] === :''[A hippie scene, while Teller is painting a Wal-Mart vest on a woman's otherwise bared torso]'' :'''Penn''': Now hold on, this isn't some Wal-Mart lovefest. Sometimes, they're really assholes when they want to be. In 2000, Wal-Mart reportedly paid $50 million to settle a [[lawsuit]] filed in Colorado by 69,000 workers who had been forced to work off the clock. In December 2005, Wal-Mart had to pay $172 million to 116,000 California employees for not giving them their legally mandated 30-minute lunch breaks. So that's at least, uhh... 185,000 people who had a legitimate beef. And, uhh... don't spread it around, but I'm kind of, sort of a Target guy myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': The fight to stop Wal-Mart has happened in small towns and big cities alike, all across the country. We went to one of those towns: Greenfield, Massachusetts, population 18,000. Greenfield is not just "Everyone's Hometown". It is, most importantly, ''my'' hometown. === Detoxing [5.04] === :''[Penn stresses the importance of colon cancer screening, while displaying images from his own colonoscopy.]'' :'''Penn''': And then there's ''this'' asshole... Sometimes it must seem like I'm talking out my asshole. This time, I literally am. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After hearing a colonic irrigation "therapist" say that a colonic irrigation treatment cleans out junk that lodges in a subject's colon]'' :'''Penn''': That's bullshit. Your colon is not an English muffin. It doesn't have nooks and crannies. If we didn't put Chris through all this stupid shit today, he would've simply shat out all that shit tomorrow. It's as easy as that. === Exorcism [5.05] === :''[A videotape of an exorcism is shown. On video, the minister prays over the subject, pours oil on his head, and then throws a bucket of water over him.]'' :'''Penn''':'' (Voiceover)'' Apparently these demons are vulnerable to a splash of olive oil. Maybe they're made of low density lipoproteins? :'''Subject''': ''[on video]'' Ugggh! Get away from me! You motherfucking asshole! :'''Penn''':'' (Voiceover)'' Took the words right out of my mouth. === Immigration [5.06] === <!-- spelling / grammar mistakes in the subtitles have been reproduced verbatim – PLEASE DO NOT CORRECT --> :''[Two Hispanic men looking like Penn & Teller come up to the camera. The subtitles are in the corresponding (inaccurate) translation of the language - English subtitles for spoken Spanish, Spanish subtitles for spoken English]'' :'''Faux Penn''': Me llamo Penn Jillette, y éste es mi socio Teller. ¿Qué chingados está pensando este güey? Los inmigrantes tomamos los trabajos que nadie quiere hacer y eso mejora-- :''[Translation: My name is Penn Jillette and this is my partner, Teller. What the fuck is that asshole thinking? "Illegal" immigrants are taking the jobs that no one wants to do and that's quickly improving our way of life.]'' :'''Penn''': What the fuck? What the fucking fuck? What the f— get the fuck out of here! These are our jobs! What the— what the fuck? Star! These are our jobs! :''[Translation: ¡Largate de aqui! ¡Estos son nos trabajos! ¡Star! ¡Estos son nos trabajos!]'' :'''Star''': ''[off camera]'' But the other guys are cheaper! :''[Translation: Pero los otros tipos son mas baratos.]'' :'''Penn''': You are so fucking fired. And turn off this subtitle shit! This is America! :''[Translation: Estas tan despedido, pendejo. ¡Apaga ese pinche subtitulo. Estamos en los Estados Unidos!]'' :''[Teller kicks the subtitle header, it veers off view]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Faux Penn''': Mientras América ofrezca la libertad y la oportunidad, las personas vendrán aquí con las rodillas manchadas de sangre. ¡Simón, güey! Como sus abuelos o bisabuelos lo hicieron. Una persona valiente para dejar su casa, la tradición, y la familia, para venir a América y trabajar para una mejor vida, para él o para ella misma y su familia, deberán de recibirlos con los pinches brazos abiertos. :''[Translation: As long as America offers freedom and opportunity, people will come here on bloodied knees. Fuck yeah! Just like your parents or great grandparents did. A person brave enough to leave home, tradition, and family, to come to America and work for a better life, for him or herself and his or her family, should be welcomed with open fucking arms.]'' :'''Penn''': And if you can mow lawn, or build fences, or juggle, or do tricks, or write comedy better or cheaper than what we've got, we'll hire your fucking ass. And will use all the time and money and effort you're saving us to-- to live a little. And you know, it's still our names on the fucking show. See, I told you we'd get tits in the show somehow. :''[Translation: Y si tu corta cespedes o costruye las cercas, o juegos malabares o, hace las artimanas o escribe la comedia mejor o mas barata que lo que hemos obtenido, emplearemos la bola de cabrones. Y utilizaremos todo el tiempo y el dinero el esfuerzo que salvas, a vivir un poco. Y tu sabes, todavia estan nuestros nombres en el show. Ya ves, que de alguna manera los agaramos.]'' === Handicap Parking [5.07] === :'''Penn''': "Provide a Clear and Comprehensive National Mandate for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Individuals with Disablities." That's what the [[w:Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990|Americans with Disabilities Act]] says it's gonna do. What the fucking fuck? What is wrong with us? Have we all gone fucking crazy? We think the government is so good at what it does, the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on war. The government is so fucking good at that, they can fucking do anything? They can make us all physically equal, they can heal the lame, they can make the fucking blind fucking see! How about the government sticks to courts, police, defense, and corruption, and leaves compassion to people that fucking have that! Motherfuckers! === Mount Rushmore [5.08] === :'''Penn''': Decadence is a freedom with a smile. === Anger Management [5.10] === :'''Howard Richmond''': It sounds a little pompous, but I do believe that I have a gift to tune into people. Some people would refer to it like I'm the psychic pianist. :'''Penn''': It's not pompous to say you're psychic. It's BULLSHIT TO SAY YOU'RE PSYCHIC!! But I digress. I'm not angry. == Season 7 == === Orgasms [7.01] === :''[talking to an orgasm session participant who just met his partner 20 minutes ago]'' :'''Participant''': We can get very intimate very quickly by doing this without going through long conversation and the usual uh, challenge that people, you know, through words. :'''Penn''': Ahhh, wait. I have a Dickwad to English dictionary here... he means, uh, "who actually wants to go through the hassle of having to actually talk to the bitch?" <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Uh-oh. Looks like there's trouble at Orgasmo University. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': It takes a woman twenty minutes to reach orgasm. It takes a man two minutes. What other fucking proof do you need that there's no god? === Astrology [7.02] === :'''Penn''': Astrology is a 4000 year old form of bullshit that postulates a mystical correspondence between your destiny and the position the sun and moon were in when you were born. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Penn''': Just because Charles didn't help her doesn't mean astrology is always wrong. :'''Phil Plait''': No matter how you slice it, astrology is wrong. :'''Penn''': Oh. === Video Games [7.03] === :''[Teller, wearing a high school letter jacket, plays on a computer while a group of students and cheerleaders cheer him on.]'' :'''Penn''': Next time you feel like worrying about fake violent video games, try a little [[wikt:gedankenexperiment|gedankenexperiment]]: imagine that video games were invented 100 years ''before'' football. Picture school video game teams and uniforms and hot-ass cheerleaders with big, bouncing pom-poms. Now imagine after 100 years of extracurricular video game fun, ''football'' is invented and introduced to schools. Thousands of kids get real, no kidding, no fantasy, no make-believe broken knees, legs, ankles, cervical trauma, heatstroke, and concussions! ''[Throughout Penn's injury list, the crowd quiets, eventually becoming totally silent.]'' ... What would parents do? From 1931 to 2007, 650 kids ''died''... from injuries they suffered playing football. This is not video game violence — this is ''real'' violence done to ''real'' children by other real children, all encouraged by schools and society. Every parent worries about his or her kids; every adult worries about all children, but you need to pick what you think is worth worrying about. == External links== {{Wikipedia}} *{{IMDb title|0346369}} [[Category:Libertarian television and radio shows]] [[Category:American documentary TV shows]] [[Category:Showtime shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] i46v9708e38rb8p1q9j9bn7tzeq9udv The Simpsons Movie 0 44773 3951939 3947376 2026-06-12T07:38:29Z ~2026-33699-13 3338006 /* Russ Cargill */ 3951939 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} {{The Simpsons header}} '''''[[w:The Simpsons Movie|The Simpsons Movie]]''''' is a [[w:2007 film|2007 film]] based on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' television series. :''Directed by [[David Silverman]].

It's supposed to be haunted. :'''David Barnes''': Well, I heard that it was somebody who was murdered, and the murderer buried the body there. :'''Sam Kepler''': But there's no name on the tombstone, and now, the ghost can find no peace. :'''David Barnes''': So sometimes he comes up to tell a story. :'''Sam Kepler''': But he is so horrible-looking, that whoever sees him drops dead immediately, and gets sucked into the grave. :'''Joe Talbot''': But nobody really believes that, right? :'''David Barnes''': Right. :'''Sam Kepler''': Of course not. <hr width="50%> :'''Wishbone''': ''[as Tom Sawyer, he and Huck see a cannon go off on a ship looking for a drowneded body]'' I know who's drowneded.

Written by [[w:Paul Dini|Paul Dini]]. {{center|'''Good guys still wear black'''}} == Batman (Terry McGinnis) == * ''[to the Jokerz]'' It's a school night, boys and girls. I'm gonna have to call your folks. * ''[after the Jokerz's vehicle crashes]'' That ain’t coming out of my allowance. * I hate to say it, but I think your little Robin's turned into a bitter old crow. * ''[to Ace]'' Good Batdog. == The Joker == * [[William Shakespeare|Ah, brave new world, that has such putzes in it.]] * You know, kids, a lot has changed while your old uncle Joker's been away: new Gotham, new rules, even a new ''Batman''; but now I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this old town a wedgie again. * Hello Gotham, Joker's back in town. ''[laughs]'' * ''[meeting the new Batman]'' Ah, the new boy: ears are too long and I miss the cape but not too shabby, not too shabby at all; Woof. * ''[to Bruce]'' Oh no, your old eyes do not deceive you, Brucie; after all, who'd know me better than you? * ''[to Bruce]'' Don't get up, Bruce, it's just an old friend come by to say hello. Hello, ''Batman''. ''[laughing]'' * This is one of Uncle Sam's orbiting defense satellites: Hyperion-class, laser armed, handy little gadget for shooting down unfriendly missiles or giving someone a world-class hotfoot. ''[simulation of the satellite firing down on Gotham]'' Think of it as urban tagging on a grand scale reminding all and sundry that this is Joker territory; you're welcome to try and stop us but, ''[chuckles]'' I'm not taking bets on that happening anytime soon, toodle. * Aren't you the nasty tattletale, ratting me out before I have my fun? ''[prepares to fire the satellite laser]'' Papa spank. * ''[preparing to fire the satellite laser]'' So where should I make Ground Zero, Gotham General, where our hero's dear little Dana is recuperating, or here, in the happy garden of Mrs. Mary McGinnis? I always think it adds resonance to a hero's mission to have some defining element of tragedy in his background, don't you? Ah, but the one and only kickoff point must be stately Wayne Manor: gone in a flash before Brucie can hobble to safety or mount a rescue, don't worry though; I'll be hitting those other spots soon enough. * ''[after shocking Ace]'' End of the line, [[w:Snoopy|Snoopy]]. * Adios, Brucie; I guess I should salute you as a worthy adversary and all that but the truth is, I really did hate your guts. ''[blows raspberry]'' == Timothy Drake == * ''[working on a communications array, not looking up]'' You might as well show yourself. I heard you coming a mile away. ''[Batman decloaks]'' I'm no Boy Wonder anymore, but that old training never goes away, even at my age. * Me and the others gave everything, but it just wasn't enough for the old man. I used to think, if I went on long enough, someday he'd retire and I'd... ah, the heck with it. Capes, costumes, bad guys - it was kid's stuff! Bruce probably did me a favor. By the end, I was so sick of it I never wanted to see that stupid Robin suit again...! ''[turns around; Batman is gone]'' Some things never change. * I owe you big time. Bruce couldn't have chosen anyone better to put on the mask. == Bruce Wayne == * Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me. And you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different. *''[After hitting a target with a batarang]'' Still got it. == Dee-Dee Twins == :''[both]'' On the double! <hr width=50%> :'''Dee-Dee (1)''': Well, if it isn't old mister Wayne. :'''Dee-Dee (2)''': So debonair. :'''Dee-Dee (1)''': So dapper. :'''Dee-Dee (2)''': ''(knees him)'' So decrepit. <hr width=50%> :'''Dee-Dee (1)''': Oh. :'''Dee-Dee (2)''': Joy. ==Dialogue== :'''Chucko''': Batman showed up and we had to ditch, but we were able to save this: the console's memory board. ''[Chucko slides the board to Joker, who is sitting across the table. Joker catches it.]'' I know it's not much, but- :'''The Joker''': It's not much? It's nothing. ''[smashes the memory board]'' Losers, all of you, a disgrace to the name Joker, why in my day... :'''Bonk''': In your day?! Ever since you conned your way into this gang it's been "in your day" this, "in your day" that. :'''Chucko''': ''[uneasily]'' Bonk. :'''Bonk''': Your day is over, old man, even if you are who you say you are; and personally, I think you're a fake. :'''The Joker''': Ah, brave new world, that has such putzes in it. :'''Bonk''': He's got us running around, ripping out a lot of geek junk, but no cash! He won't tell us what his plan is, even if he has one! ''I want out''! :'''The Joker''': ''[Amused, the Joker pulls out a gun.]'' If you insist... ''[the other Jokerz gasp]'' :'''Bonk''': ''[scared]'' Hey, man, take it easy! I-I was, I was just kidding! :''[The Joker fires, but a flag with the word BANG! pops out of the end of the gun.]'' :'''The Joker''': So was I! ''[The Joker chuckles and waves the gun, then shoots the flag into Bonk's chest]'' Oops! No I wasn't! That's also how we did it in my day. You know, kids, a lot has changed since your old Uncle Joker's been away: new Gotham, new rules, even a new ''Batman.'' But now I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this town a [[wedgie]] again! I have to know you're with me. Will you say it for me one time? :'''Jokerz''': ''[terrified]'' We're with you! :'''The Joker''': A little louder. :'''Jokerz''': ''[louder]'' We're with you! :'''The Joker''': Dee-Dee? :'''Dee-Dee Twins''': We're with you! :'''The Joker''': Boys? :'''Chucko and Ghoul''': We're with you! :'''The Joker''': Bonk? Oh, right. Dead! ''[pauses and grins brightly]'' Dee-Dee, be a lamb and sweep out the trash. There's a good girls! ''[Dee-Dee Twins manage to get Bonk off of the table]'' Your renewed faith puts a smile in my heart! Let's say we forget about tonight's mishap and start over? :'''Chucko''': Great, Boss! :'''The Joker''': Ghoul, m'boy, we're gonna need a new systems scanner; who's got one that they'd be willing to donate? :'''Ghoul''': Checking... What we're after is cutting edge. It's the only other place we can find one. :'''The Joker''': ''[Reading off a list.]'' Hmmm... Nope. Nuh-uh. Nope. ''[Finally finding a candidate.]'' Ah! :'''Ghoul''': What? There? Security's gonna be tight. :'''The Joker''': Oh, yes! But think of the fun! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Terry''': So... The Joker, huh? Must be spry for a guy who's like... mid-eighties? Any theories on that? Clone? Robot? [[w:Captain America|Suspended animation after being frozen in a block of ice?]] :'''Bruce''': Shut up and drive. :'''Terry''': Yes, sir. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Terry and Dana are dancing, while Terry is falling asleep, Dana tries to keep him awake by talking...it doesn't work, so...]'' :'''Dana''': Terry, my head's on fire.''' :'''Terry''': [takes the hand of another girl, his eyes are closed] You look good.''' :'''Dana''': ''[angry]'' MCGINNIS!!''' :''[Other girl giggles and walks away]'' :'''Terry''': Sorry, babe. Guess the day was longer than I thought. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Terry McGinnis''': It's funny. I know about all your other major enemies, but you never mention him. He was the biggest, wasn't he? :'''Bruce Wayne''': It wasn't a popularity contest. He was a psychopath. A monster. :'''Terry McGinnis''': So how is it possible he could still be around after all this time? :'''Bruce Wayne''': It's not possible. He died years ago. :'''Terry McGinnis''': You're sure? :'''Bruce Wayne''': ''[shortly]'' I was there. :''[Bruce gets up starts walking away. There's a beat of silence]'' :'''Terry''' ''[softly]'': You killed him... didn't you? ''[Bruce stops and hangs his head, but still doesn't look at him]'' He was gonna do something so terrible that you had no other choice. That was it, wasn't it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Bruce Wayne''': It can't be. :'''The Joker''': Oh no. Your old eyes do not deceive you, Brucie! After all, ''[whispers]'' who'd know me better than you? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Terry McGinnis:''' Gordon told me what happened to Tim Drake. :'''Bruce Wayne''': That's why I didn't want you going up against the Joker. Imposter or not. :'''Terry McGinnis:''' Nothing against your old partners, but I'm a completely different Batman. I was never a Robin, I never- ''[notices the tattered Robin costume]'' Wait... Joker smashed up the cases, but why was this the only costume he went out of his way to destroy? :'''Bruce Wayne''': Robin did shoot him. :'''Terry McGinnis:''' A ghost out for revenge? I don't buy it. I talked to Drake; he's got less love for that costume than the Joker. I think somehow he's behind this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': Where's the Joker? :'''Timothy Drake''': Joker? :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': Drop the act, I know you are working for him. :'''Timothy Drake''': No, Joker's gone. I don't know where he is, really. :'''Bruce Wayne''': The suit's sensors aren't picking up any pulse fluctuations. He's telling the truth. :'''Timothy Drake''': I don't do this anymore. I have a home and family. I gave this up years ago. Kids' stuff, that's all it was. :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': He may be telling the truth, but he's still wacked. :'''Timothy Drake''': Fun and games. Boy wonder playing the hero. Fighting the bad guys and no one ever gets...''(then suddenly realizes)'' Oh God, ''(puts his hands on his head)'' I killed him. I didn't mean to. I tried so hard to forget, but I still hear the shot, still see his dead smile. Every night, the dreams get stronger. He's there when I sleep, whispering, laughing, telling me that I'm as bad as he is! We're both the same! :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': I'm calling an ambulance. :'''Timothy Drake''': No, I'm alright. Forgive me, Terry. Old nasty memories twisting inside me like bad oysters. Nothing really. I'm perfectly fine now. :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': How do you know my name? :'''Timothy Drake''': There's nothing about you I don't know, Batfake. :''[Timothy throws the steel ball he's holding, which turns into an electric claw and grabs Terry by the arm, Terry collapses to the ground, immobilized.]'' :'''Bruce Wayne''': Terry! :'''Timothy Drake''': Have a timeout, kid, can't let you spoil the party too soon. And Bruce, I'm sure you've got your monkey-boy wired somehow. That's just peachy, cause I want you to see every minute of this; it's a killer. :''[Laughs, holding his head, and after a while, transforms into the Joker, and when he does so, he laughs as himself]'' :'''Bruce Wayne''': My God! :'''The Joker''': ''[Takes off the lab coat, showing the purple tights underneath]'' Ooh, I never get tired of that. :'''Terry McGinnis/Batman''': Drake, you're the Joker? :'''The Joker''': ''[does a slight chuckle]'' That flabby oaf doesn't realize I'm using him as a timeshare. Beneath this puckish exterior lies the mind of a genius years ahead of my time. In the weeks young Robin was under my tutelage, I used him as the subject of my greatest experiment: utilizing [[w:Project_Cadmus|cutting-edge genetics technology]], which I had pinched here and there, I encoded my DNA on a microchip and set it into BirdBoy's BirdBrain, ''[points to a dot on the back of his neck]'' here. [[Justice_League_Unlimited#Epilogue|Everything that was me has been'a sleeping all comfy and cozy inside Tim Drake's subconscious]]. At first I had to limit the time I spent in Drake's body. He's not aware of what I do, chalking up lingering memories to bad dreams. If his family misses him, I simply call wifey and tell her, ''[Imitating Drake's voice]'' "I'm working late, honey." ''[Goes back to his own voice]'' The changes come at will now, and soon I'll be strong enough to live in this body permanently. Mr. J's on the rebound, baby! My comeback party's gonna set the whole town on fire! <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Joker''': ''[after targeting Wayne Manor]'' Adios, Brucie. I suppose I should salute you as a worthy adversary and all that, but the truth is I really did hate your guts. ''[blows a raspberry at Bruce, then turns to Terry]'' How about you, kid? Any last words for the old Bat-fart? ''[referring to Bruce] ["Bat-fart" becomes "Bat-coot" in the edited version]'' :'''Batman''': Yeah. Sic 'im! :''[Ace arrives on cue and attacks the Joker]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Joker''': ''[notices the satellite laser is heading for the abandoned candy factory]'' Oh, good! The beam's headed here! Now I'll have to start all over again. Thanks for wrecking everything, kid. ''[Turns to leave]'' See ya 'round. :'''Batman''': Hold it! ''[Grabs Joker's wrist]'' :'''The Joker''': Oh wise up, junior, GAME'S OVER! :'''Batman''': I'm taking you in! :'''The Joker''': ''[laughing]'' Right! ''[punches Batman several times and throws him onto table, which breaks under his weight]'' You're out of your league, McGinnis. I know every trick the original Batman and Robin knew at their peak. :'''Batman''': Maybe. But you don't know a thing about me. :'''The Joker''': YOU?! What's to know?! You're a punk! A rank amateur! A costumed errand boy taking orders from a senile old man. Still, if it's a whupping you're a-wantin'... :''[He rolls up his sleeves, and Terry runs to the door]'' :'''The Joker''': That's right. Better run and save yourself... it's about your speed. ''[Terry closes the door, then breaks the switch to prevent escape]'' :'''Batman''': Let's dance, bozo. :''[As they fight, Joker gets the upper hand]'' :'''Batman''': ''[To Bruce, through comlink]'' He's tough. Any suggestions, boss? :'''Bruce Wayne''': Joker's vain and likes to talk. He'll try to distract you, but don't listen. Block it out and power on through. :'''Batman''': Wait. I like to talk too. :''[They fight, and Terry knees the Joker in the gut]'' :'''The Joker''': What're you doing?! :'''Batman''': Fighting dirty. :'''The Joker''': The REAL Batman would never-- ''[Terry pushes the knee in further]'' :'''Batman''': Told you, ya didn't know me. :'''The Joker''': Funny guy... :'''Batman''': Can't say the same for you. ''[shoves the Joker so that his gut hits a table]'' :'''The Joker''': Impudent brat. Who do you think you're talking to? :'''Batman''': Not a comedian, I'll tell you that. :'''The Joker''': ''[draws a laser pistol]'' Shut your mouth! ''[fires at Batman]'' :'''Batman''': ''[retreats into the rafters]'' The real Batman never talked to you much, did he? That's probably why you were so fixated on him. ''[tosses a batarang, knocking the gun out of Joker's hand]'' :'''The Joker''': Don't play psychoanalyst with me, boy! :'''Batman''': Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out. ''[hits the lights with a batarang, turning them off]'' The ''real'' reason you kept coming back was you never got a laugh out of the old man. :'''The Joker''': I'm not hearing this... :'''Batman''': Get a clue, clowny! He's got no sense of humor! He wouldn't know a good joke if it bit him in the cape. Not that you ever had a good joke. :'''The Joker''': ''[really getting angry]'' Shut up... Shut up! :'''Batman''': I mean, joy buzzers, squirting flowers? Lame! Where's the "A" material? Make a face, drop your pants, something! :'''The Joker''': Show yourself! :'''Batman''': You make me laugh. But only 'cause I think you're kinda pathetic. ''[mimics the Joker's laugh]'' :'''The Joker''': Stop that! :'''Batman''': So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached and decided to become a supervillain. What, you couldn't get work as a ''rodeo clown?'' ''[laughs mockingly]'' :'''The Joker''': ''[grabs some grenades]'' Don't you dare laugh at me!... :'''Batman''': ''[laughs harder]'' Why? I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh! :'''The Joker''': ''[throwing grenades]'' '''YOU'RE NOT BATMAN!!''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Joker''': ''[as he takes off Batman's mask and strangles him, he laughs]'' C'mon, McGinnis! Laugh it up ''now'', you miserable little punk! LAUGH! ''[in a sing-song tone]'' I CAN'T HEAR YOU! :'''Terry''': Ha... ha. ''[jabs joybuzzer into the back of the Joker's neck, As the Joker screams in pain frying the microchip and destroying the Joker forever, before Terry puts his mask back on]'' :'''Police Woman:''' Delia and Deidre Dennis, your grandmother's paid your bail. You're released to her custody, pending your trial. :''' Grandma Harley Quinn:''' You rotten little scamps! I struggle to make a good home for you and this is the thanks I get! (She whacks the Dee Dee twins with a cane) Break a Grandmother's heart, I hope they throw the book at you! == Flashback == A significant portion of the movie is dedicated to the final battle between the original Batman and Joker; quotes from this segment are separated here. :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': ''[beginning the flashback]'' I thought talking about it would get easier over time, but some hurts never go away. Dick Grayson - Nightwing - had left to establish himself in another city. There were three of us then: Bruce, myself, and Robin... Tim Drake. ''[Robin is seen gliding over Gotham's rooftops]'' Robin was out alone that night when he came upon a woman in trouble. :'''Woman''': Help! Help! Somebody, please help! :'''Robin''': Hero time! ''[grapples down to the ground and knocks out two thugs]'' That evens things up a little. :''[The "woman in trouble" is soon revealed to be Harley Quinn...]'' :'''Harley Quinn''': Not really, bird-boy! ''[knocks Robin out with her mallet, as the Joker enters the scene]'' :'''The Joker''': ''[chuckles]'' A bird in the hand... :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': ''[narrating, as Batman and Batgirl search for Robin]'' We soon realized Tim was missing. Night after night, we scoured the city, running down every lead, pressing every underworld connection... but no one had seen any sign of Robin. For three agonizing weeks, there was nothing. Then, one night, we were sent an invitation... :''[Batman and Batgirl arrive on a rooftop, seeing a jack-in-the-box. Batman opens it with a batarang, but the "jack" triggers a grenade, exploding the box. In the remains, Batman picks up a straitjacket, realizing where Robin is...]'' :'''Batman''': Arkham. :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': ''[narrating]'' The asylum had been moved to a newer high-security building. The old building had been partially demolished, and hung open like a rotting wound. <hr width=50%> :'''The Joker''': You know, Bats, we've been doing this little runaround of ours for years. It's been loads of laughs, but sad fact is, none of us are getting any younger. :'''Harley Quinn''': That old clock's a'tickin'! :'''The Joker''': Quite right, poo. And Harley and I thought it was time to start a family. Add a "Joker Junior" to our merry brood. :'''Harley Quinn''': But rather than go through all the joys of childbirth, ''[makes disgusted face]'' we decided to adopt. :'''The Joker''': We couldn't do it legally, but then we remembered that you always have a few spare kids lying around &mdash; so we borrowed one. :''[Joker and Harley open the curtain, revealing a shadowed figure strapped to a table.]'' :'''Batman''': No... :'''Batgirl''': My God! :'''The Joker''': He needed a little molding, of course; what kid doesn't? But, in time, we came to love him as our own. Say hello, J.J.!: :''[Robin appears from the shadows, mutilated to look like the Joker and laughing mindlessly]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Harley Quinn''': Sweetie, get mommy's bazooka! <hr width=50%> :'''Batgirl''': How could you help Joker do it, Harley? :'''Harley Quinn''': Okay, so he roughed the kid up a little. But I'll make it right. :'''Batgirl''': Yeah, you're Mother of the Stinkin' Year! '':[In the edited cut, "stinkin'" was replaced with "freakin'"]'' <hr width=50%> :'''The Joker''': What's the matter, Batman? No witty comeback? No threat? Then I'll provide the narration... ''[the screen flickers to life, showing "Our Family Memories"]'' I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind. ''[In the edited version, he says, "I'll begin with how I affected young Robin's makeover."]'' Oh, he bravely tried to fight it at first. You would've been proud to see him so strong - but all too soon, the serums and the shocks took their toll... and the dear lad began to share such secrets with me. ''[In the edited cut, "the serums and the shocks took their toll... and" was cut]'' Secrets that are mine alone to know... ''Bruce''. It's true, Batsy! I know everything. And kinda like the kid who peeks at his Christmas presents, I must admit, it's sadly anti-climactic. Behind all the [[w:sturm und drang|sturm and batarang]], you're just a little boy in a playsuit, crying for mommy and daddy! It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. ''[pause]'' Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway! HA HA HA HA HA HAA! <hr width=50%> :'''The Joker''': If you don't like the movie, I've got slides. <hr width=50%> :'''Batman''': I'll break you in two... :'''The Joker''': Oh, Batman, if you had the guts for ''that'' kind of fun, you'd have done it ''years'' ago. I on the other hand... ''[The Joker produces a knife from his sleeve, cuts Batman across the chest and stabs it in above his knee, or in the edited cut, he just punches him; in either case, he jumps down to the wounded Batman]'' You've ''lost'', Batman. Robin is ''mine''. The last sound you'll hear will be our laughter. <hr width=50%> :''[Director's Cut version]'' :'''The Joker''': ''[tosses the bang flag spear gun to Tim]'' Here you go, sonny boy! ''[Tim grabs the gun]'' Make daddy proud: deliver the punchline. :''[Tim aims the gun at Batman, then pulls the trigger and a "Bang!" flag pops up harmlessly]'' :'''Batman''': Tim... :''[Tim pauses a bit, still laughing]'' :'''The Joker''': DO IT! :''[Tim laughs for a bit, but slowly breaks out of the brainwashing effect, then turns around and fires the gun at the Joker instead, where the flag spear pierces his heart, and he gets flown and knocked into giant building blocks]'' :'''The Joker''': ''[dying]'' That's not funny... that's not... :''[The Joker gets choked up in blood, then falls to the floor, dead; As Barbara runs in, Tim's insane laughter quickly becomes uncontrollable sobbing and he falls to his knees]'' <hr width=50%> :''[Edited version]'' :'''The Joker''': ''[tosses laughing gas gun to Tim]'' Here you go, sonny boy! ''[Tim grabs the gun]'' Make him one of us! :''[Tim aims the gun at Batman, He lowers the gun, then throws it away Bruce smiles but the Joker snarls. Tim still laughing tackles the Joker into the next room with tanks of water near electrical wiring, where he crashes into one and tries going after Tim but slips and turns on the electrical wiring; scene cuts to far away from the room, where the Joker's horrific death scream is heard, As Barbara runs in, Tim's insane laughter quickly becomes uncontrollable sobbing and he falls to his knees]'' <hr width=50%> :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': ''[ends the flashback]'' We buried the Joker deep beneath Arkham. The only other person who knew what happened that night was my father, the first Commissioner Gordon. He promised to keep our secret. ''[In the edited version, the line, "We buried the Joker deep beneath Arkham," was removed before the next line "The only other person who knew what happened that night was my father, the first Commissioner Gordon. And for Robin's sake, he kept that night a secret."]'' With his last act of cruelty, the Joker tainted us all with compromise and deception. ''[turns to Terry]'' I suppose he had the last laugh after all. :'''Terry McGinnis''': I'm assuming his girlfriend bought it, too. ''[Edited version: "And since you saw Harley fall into the pit..."]'' :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': We never found her body, but I doubt she'd be starting trouble now. :'''Terry McGinnis''': And Tim? :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': We had a trusted friend, Dr. Leslie Thompkins. It took her a year, but she was able to help Tim back to sanity. ''["Back to himself" in the edited version]'' Still, things were never really the same. Bruce forbade Tim to be Robin again; he blamed himself for what happened and swore he'd never endanger another young partner. Tim left us soon after that, determined to make it on his own. :'''Terry McGinnis''': Did they ever patch things up? :'''Commissioner Barbara Gordon''': Tim tried once or twice, but you know Bruce. I check up on Tim now and then. He's a top-level communications engineer, married, couple kids.

Get the whole shooting match in here. I don't know, but the acidity in the lake is high enough to bother me. There's enough carbon dioxide coming out of the soil to start killing trees and wildlife…Paul. Paul, you sent me up here to check. I'm doing that. I think attention should be paid. * I've always been better at figuring out volcanoes than people & politics. * This rig can take it. The engine's got a snorkel. * ''[While attempting to outrun the pyroclastic cloud]'' Oh, my God! Don't look back, kids! Don't look back! * When we get out of here… and we will get out of here…what do you say we go down to Florida, we get ourselves a boat, and we stock it with all the nicest, yummiest things…we can possibly get our hands on, and we go out there and we catch ourselves a big, old, fat fish? == Rachel Wando == * I'd like to thank Karen from Money magazine for this wonderful award.

It's a wonderful place in which to raise a family. And now with the prospect of a major investment in our economic future…by Mr. Elliot Blair of Blair Industries…Will you stand up, Elliot? Next year we're gonna be number one. * A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind. Or nothing. * Fun is what you have when you don't have two children, a business, and a town to run. * Eight years it took us to get this town on its feet. You wouldn't believe the struggle. == Others == * '''Paul Dreyfus''': How about a nice adult beverage? * '''Greg''': ''[seeing Rachel get out of her car with the coffees]'' Yes! It's coffee time! Coffee! Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee! Cappuccino! Java! Yes! * '''Harry''': This little puppy's called Spider Legs. She goes in when it's too dangerous for us. Boldly goes, I might add. * '''Terry''': You guys see this? Do you see this? I expect apologies and six-packs from each one of ya. * '''Paul''': That's Terry's answer to everything. Kick it if it doesn't work. * '''Sheriff Turner''': Attention all citizens. There will be a meeting held…in the high school gymnasium at 6 PM to discuss the evacuation of Dante's Peak. To repeat: All citizens are urged to attend the meeting…that will be held in the high school gymnasium… *'''Nancy''': Why look at computers when you can look at the real thing? == Dialogue == :'''Harry''': Any idea where I might find Mayor Wando? :'''Cluster''': She should be right around the corner, accepting some award. Dante's Peak was just named the best... well, the second-best place to live... in the United States, population under 20,000. :'''Harry''': Good for you. What was number one? :'''Cluster''': I don't know. Some piece of crap town out in Montana. Who cares? <hr width="50%"> :'''Karen''': Thank you. Thank you very much, Les. Mayor Wando, it gives me great pleasure to present to you…a Money magazine award: Dante's Peak, the second most desirable place to live in the United States, population under 20,000. Congratulations. :'''Rachel''': Thank you… :'''Lauren''': It's Karen! :'''Rachel''': Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Lauren. This award means a lot to us. We've been proud of our town for a long time.

Next year we're gonna be number one. <hr width="50%"> :'''Ruth''': Hi, Rachel... You Rachel's boyfriend? :'''Harry''': Uh, no, no. Harry Dalton, United States Geological Survey. Just up here to check on your mountain. That's all. :'''Ruth''': Bunch of you people came up here right after Mount St. Helens went nuts. There was nothing going on then. There's nothing going on here now. :'''Harry''': Yes, well, um… :'''Rachel''': I need to take Dr. Dalton up to the high lake and wondered if the kids could stay here for a little while. :'''Ruth''': Sure. But why don't we all go? We can go swimming. :'''Lauren''': Yeah! :'''Ruth''': Mess around in the hot springs on the way back. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sheriff''': I thought this was supposed to be an extinct volcano. :'''Harry''': Not extinct, just dormant... as in sleeping. And your volcano might just be waking up. :'''Les''': You're talking about the evacuation of 7,400 people. You don't think that's extreme? :'''Harry''': All I'm talking about…is you consider alerting the town to the possibility of an evacuation. :'''Les''': What Mr. Dalton here doesn't realize…is that if Elliot Blair gets the idea there is some kind of problem here, he's gonna take his $18 million, his 800 jobs, and he's gonna evacuate. :'''Jane Fox''': Les, two people are dead, and we don't know… :'''Les''': This is the first time in 4 years that we have the opportunity… :'''Rachel''': Look, look! It's been a very long day. Let's try to treat each other nicely. Norman, why don't you pull out the town's emergency evacuation plans? We should at least have a look at them. :'''Norman''': If I can find them. <hr width="50%"> :'''Stan''': Look at this nice little town. Nestled all snug and cozy right against the mountain. :'''Nancy''': Yeah, just like Pompeii. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rachel''': How about you, you ever been married? :'''Harry''': No, never. :'''Rachel''': Why not? :'''Harry''': Well, for one thing, I move around a lot. Colombia, Guatemala, the Philippines, Mexico, New Zealand, New Guinea. Wherever there's a volcano with an attitude. …Makes it hard to settle down. :'''Rachel''': You ever come close? :'''Harry''': Yes... Once. ''[sips from a glass cup]'' :'''Rachel''': Touchy subject. :'''Harry''': Her name was Marianne. We worked together. She loved volcanoes... Fascinated by them. Loved the life. Four years ago, a volcano erupted in Colombia. Marianne and I thought we had enough time to get out. Unfortunately, we were wrong. We got too close to the show. Marianne was killed. If this thing blows, and if she does a Mount St. Helens, the blast will get here within a minute. :'''Rachel''': Well, I hope you're wrong about our volcano, Harry. But if not, I'm glad you're here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Terry''': I'm okay. My doc says I can leave as soon as they make sure my head's okay. :'''Nancy''': Okay. See ya in ten years then. :'''Terry''': Ow. Ow. :'''Nancy''': I think Spider Legs was just... getting even with you for all those kicks in the butt you gave it! <hr width="50%"> :'''Harry''': Paul! I've got that scientific evidence you need. :'''Paul''': Harry, what are you doing? :'''Harry''': ''[fills a glass with sulfur-contaminated water]'' I've just come from the town's water supply. It's the same. :'''Paul''': Oh, my God. <hr width="50%"> :''[Graham and Lauren steal Rachel's car to drive up the mountain to save their grandmother]'' :'''Graham''': I can't see through the ash. :'''Lauren''': Maybe you ought to turn the lights on. :'''Graham''': They are on. :'''Lauren''': Make the windshield wipers go faster? :'''Graham''': I don't know how. :'''Lauren''': It's that thing there. :'''Graham''': Don't touch things! You're gonna mess something up. :'''Lauren''': Like what? :'''Graham''': I don't know. Something! :'''Lauren''': Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. <hr width="50%"> :'''Nancy''': Uh-oh. Looks like our asshole pilot plans on flying people outta here. :'''Paul''': If he gets any of that ash sucked up into his engine, he's had it. :'''Cluster''': He's gettin' $15,000 bucks cold cash. :'''Paul''': Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! No, no, no! Wait! Wait! Stop! Stop! Stop! ''[the helicopter takes off]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Greg''': We've had plenty of minor eruptions. Maybe we're over the hump. :'''Stan''': Yeah, I hope. :'''Nancy''': Get real, Beavis. She's just clearing her throat. She hasn't even started to sing yet. <hr width="50%"> :'''Harry''', '''Rachel''', '''Graham''', '''Lauren''', and '''Ruth''' ''[singing while sailing across the acidic lake]'': Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... Life is but a dream... Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream... Merrily, merrily... Row, row, row your boat... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily...

Life is but a dream…Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…Life is but a dream... Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily... <hr width="50%"> :'''Rachel''': Oh, God, Ruth. I'm so sorry for what I said to you up there. I really didn't mean it. I just… :'''Ruth''': You're right what you said. I am a fool. :'''Rachel''': No, you're not. :'''Ruth''': My son's the biggest fool of all. He never should've run off and hurt you all like that. :'''Rachel''': If anybody's a fool, Ruth, it's me, 'cause I don't think I ever really gave you a chance. :'''Graham''': Hang on, Grandma. It's just another two miles to the ranger station. :'''Ruth''': I don't think I have another two miles left in me, Ace. <hr width="50%"> :'''Harry''': Come here. Come here. Just sit down a second. Sit down a second. All right, listen, now. Have you ever been deep-sea fishing? :'''Graham''': No. :'''Harry''': Good. Neither have I. So, when we get out of here… and we will get out of here... what do you say we go down to Florida, we get ourselves a boat, and we stock it with all the nicest, yummiest things... we can possibly get our hands on, and we go out there and we catch ourselves a big, old, fat fish? ...Hmm? Does that sound good? :'''Rachel''': It sounds good, Harry. :'''Graham''': Yeah, Harry, it sounds great. <hr width="50%"> :'''Graham''': Did you really mean what you said about taking us fishing? :'''Harry''': I sure did. :'''Lauren''': That's great. :'''Soldier''': You guys ready to go? :'''Harry''': Let's go. == Taglines == * The pressure is building. * Whatever you do, don't look back! * Without warning, day becomes night, air turns to fire, and solid ground gives way to white-hot, molten terror. == Cast == * [[Pierce Brosnan]] - Dr. Harry Dalton * [[w:Linda Hamilton|Linda Hamilton]] - Mayor Rachel Wando * [[w:Charles Hallahan|Charles Hallahan]] - Dr. Pauljoseph "Paul" Dreyfus * [[w:Elizabeth Hoffman (actress)|Elizabeth Hoffman]] - Grandma Ruthleen "Ruth" * [[w:Jamie Renée Smith|Jamie Renée Smith]] - Lauren Wando * [[w:Jeremy Foley (actor)|Jeremy Foley]] - Graham Wando * [[w:Grant Heslov|Grant Heslov]] - Gregory "Greg" * [[w:Arabella Field|Arabella Field]] - Nancy * [[w:Tzi Ma|Tzi Ma]] - Stanley * [[w:Bill Bolender|Bill Bolender]] - Sheriff Turner * [[w:Peter Jason|Peter Jason]] - Norman Gates == External links == {{Wikipedia|Dante's Peak}} * {{imdb title|id=0118928|title=Dante's Peak}} [[Category:1997 films]] [[Category:Action films]] [[Category:Adventure films]] [[Category:1990s American films]] [[Category:Films about volcanoes]] [[Category:Films set in Washington (state)]] lxvga58imzn5snc82ao5v3pc0wmwj5m Wikiquote:Academy Award nominated screenplays 4 79347 3951797 3943517 2026-06-11T18:49:09Z UDScott 4304 /* 1960s */ 3951797 wikitext text/x-wiki Films that have been nominated for [[w:Academy Awards|Academy Awards]] for [[w:screenplays|screenplays]] are highly likely to contain memorable dialogue meriting an entry in Wikiquote.

After AIDS, there was NRS; after NRS, there was UBT. And one of the first things that Dr. Cocteau was able to do was to outlaw and behaviorally engineer all fluid transfer out of societally acceptable behavior.

It came from a male lion named Zuba. He coughed as he cleared his throat.]'' :'''Florrie''': Don't strain yourself. :'''Zuba''': What's going on here? What's all this hubbub? :'''Elephant''': They say they're from off the reserve. :'''Zuba''': That's impossible. Only people come from off the reserve. :'''Alex''': You look familiar. Do I know you? :'''Zuba''': How could you possibly survive the hunters? :'''Gloria''': Hunters? We didn't see any hunters. :'''Zuba''': What are you looking at?! :'''Alex''': Me? Nothing. :'''Zuba''': This watering hole doesn't need any more mouths to feed. So skedaddle back to wherever you came from. :'''Alex''': Okay. Well, Is there a manager we could talk to? :'''Zuba''': Oh, I see. You're here to challenge me! :'''Alex''': What? No! No. :'''Zuba''': Well, that's what it looks like to me! :'''Florrie''': Zuba! Wait. :'''Zuba''': I'm trying to take care of business... :'''Florrie''': Yeah, yeah, Zuba. Hold on. Alakay? Is that you? :'''Alex''': No, it's Alex. lx. Like New York Knicks. :'''Florrie''': ''[Noticing the mark on Alex's paw]'' Zuba, look! :'''Alex''': Oh. I've always had that. The vet checked it out. It's kind of a beauty spot, really. :'''Zuba''': A mark. :'''Alex''': All right, this is a little weird. :'''Zuba''': Honey, he's come home. :'''Alex''': What? :'''Zuba''': You've come home. :'''Alex''': ''[realizes that he still has his mark since he was a cub]'' Whoa! :'''Zuba''': ''[realizing his son is still alive]'' Son. :'''Alex''': Dad. Mom and Dad? Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad! It's my mom and dad! I got a mom and dad! :'''Florrie''': Our baby's alive! :'''Marty''': ''[mistakes Alex's father on being his father too]'' Dad! :'''Zuba''': My son! My son is home! :''[All the animals are cheering]'' :'''Florrie''': Alakay! Alakay has come home! :'''Makunga''': Whoo!! Whoo! Alakay! Yeah! The prodigal son returns. This is perfect! :'''Teetsi''': ''[yawns]'' I thought you hated Zuba. :'''Makunga''': No, I do. I do. I do. I hate him. Oh, I do. And I'm going to use Alakay, yes. I'm going to use him to get rid of Zuba once and for all! :'''King Julien''': Giddy-up, feathered horse! Make way! :'''Maurice''': Make way! Move out of the way! Stand aside! :'''King Julien''': ''[Not realizing they are in Africa]'' New York! Hmm... It's a bit of a dump. Are you sure we're not in New Jersey? Hello, New Yorkers! Your new king is here! :'''Zuba''': This calls for a celebration! :'''King Julien''': Maurice, I think they like me. :'''Maurice''': You've got to love a non-hostile takeover! :'''Animals''': Ooh! Ahh!! Chukka-chukka ahh!! :'''Julien''': Chukka-chukka what?!?! :'''Animals''': Chukka-chukka ahh!! :'''Julien''': Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!! ''[laughing]'' :'''Marty''': Excuse me. I'm Marty. I'm kind of new around here. :'''Zebras''': Hey, Marty! :'''Marty''': You're a good-looking group! You like to run? :'''Zebras''': Yeah. Running is crack-a-lackin'. :'''Marty''': That's right! Crack-a-lackin'. You guys speak my crack-a-lackin' language. :''[cut to the giraffes]'' :'''Melman''': What? You don't have doctors here? :'''Stephen''': Not anymore. :'''Melman''': Well, what if you catch a cold? :'''Murray''': We go over to the dying holes and we die. :''[Melman sees a Giraffe coughing]'' :'''Melman''': Okay. You guys really need a doctor. :'''Stephen''': Hey. We have an opening. :'''Murray''': Would you be interested? :'''Melman''': Me? A doctor? :''[Cut to the hippopotamuses]'' :'''Gloria''': It's raining men. Hallelujah! You all got it going on. :'''Hippo''': Why don't you have a man? You got worms? :'''Gloria''': Oh, I got rid of those. Listen, girls. Manhattan is short on two things, parking and hippos. :''[Cut to the lions and lionesses]'' :'''Zuba''': Hey, everybody! I just found out that my son here is a doggone king! The King of New York Show me some of your moves, son. Come on. Don't be bashful. :'''Alex''': ''[confidently]'' All right. This one always knocks 'em dead. ''[does his zoo act]'' Roar! :'''Zuba''': Look out. The King is mad. The King is mad! Now let's welcome him back into the pride with open arms! :''[cut back to the Zebras]'' :'''Zebras''': Welcome to the herd, Marty! :'''Marty''': Me? I've always wanted to be part of a herd!- It's one for all... :'''Zebras''': And all for all, y'all! :'''Maurice''': All right! :''[cut back to the Giraffes]'' :'''Melman''': How do I look? :'''Stephen''': Technically, a traditional witch doctor has a bone through his nose. :'''Melman''': Huh? :'''Murray''': Don't worry, it's just a clip-on. :'''Stephen''': Voilà! He's a witch doctor! :'''Melman''': My mother will be so happy. :''[cut back to the Hippos]'' :'''Girl Hippo''': Look out! I think Moto Moto likes you. :'''Girl Hippo #2''': Here he comes. :'''Moto Moto''': Goodness, girl, you huge. :'''Gloria''': Who's your friend? Or is that your butt? :'''Moto Moto''': Girl, you as quick as you are hefty. :'''Gloria''': So you're Moto Moto? :'''Moto Moto''': The name's so nice, you say it twice. :'''Gloria''': I kind of like it, fatso. :'''Moto Moto''': I'll see you around, girl. It won't be hard, because you so... plumpy. :''[Alex was still having his crowd surf until he landed on the ground with his back]'' :'''Alex''': Oof! :'''Makunga''': Oops! ''[chuckles]'' Um... I hate to be a party pooper, Zuba, but some of the other lions were wondering when you plan to banish your son. :'''Zuba''': What are you talking about Makunga? :'''Makunga''': It's nothing, really. They're griping that Alakay never went through the rite of passage, blah, blah, blah, so technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride. It's nonsense. :'''Zuba''': I had forgot about the rite of passage. :'''Alex''': What is it? What's this rite of passage? :'''Zuba''': It's a traditional coming-of-age ceremony where young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills. :'''Alex''': Sort of a show-of-skill talent show deal? :'''Zuba''': Yeah. Strutting their stuff. :'''Alex''': Great! A performance! I think that's up my alley, guys. If it's tradition, I want to do it. Strut my stuff. Earn my mane. I want to be Alakai. :'''Florrie''': Alakay. :'''Alex''': Alakay! Even better. :'''Zuba''': We will hold the rite of passage in the morning! :'''Makunga''': That's wonderful! Good luck, Alakay. :'''Alex''': Where I'm from, we say, "Break a leg." :'''Zuba''': That's my boy! :'''King Julien''': ''[singing]'' Cause I'm a private dancer. A dancer for money. Any old music will do-- ''[passes out]'' :'''Gloria''': Beautiful, isn't it? :'''Melman''': Yeah. :'''Marty''': It's amazing. :'''Alex''': Guys, this is where we belong. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The Penguins are seeing the safari jeep coming towards them.]'' :'''Skipper''': Operation Tourist Trap is a go. :'''Private''': Oh, I like that one. That’s a good one. :'''Kowalski''': It works on many levels, sir. :'''Skipper''': You guys are a bunch of suck-ups. :'''Kowalski''': That, too, sir. :'''Private''': Absolutely. :'''Rico''': Hai. :'''Skipper''': Stations.

''[She picks up her glasses]'' :'''Tour Guide''': Good heavens! Are you OK? :'''Man #2''': Lady, I found your pocketbook. ''[gives the purse to Nana]'' :'''Nana''': My handbag. Such a good boy. Nana can't survive without it. :'''Cameraman''': Wow. You are one tough cookie. :'''Nana''': Brownies Troop 416, Yonkers. :'''Tour Guide''': OK, nobody panic! The best thing we can do is stay together. We'll wait for another tour jeep. It may take hours, it's getting dark but... :'''Cameraman''': Where are you going? :'''Nana''': I'm not staying here to be attacked by more animals. I'm too old to die. :'''Cameraman''': I don't know about you guys but I'm going with her. Old lady, wait up! :'''Tour Guide''': Please! We need to stay.....together. Fine!

I remember this! :'''Zuba''': He remembers. :'''Alex''': A little harder than... :'''Zuba''': You never slept on the right end. You always slept on the bottom end. :'''Alex''': Is that? Is that my? Is that me? :'''Florrie''': You had the cutest little paws. :'''Zuba''': Little, little bitty ol' paws. :'''Florrie''': You did that the day we lost you. :'''Alex''': Wow. I was so young. What happened to me? :'''Zuba''': It was all my fault. I turned my back a minute and... :'''Florrie''': It was not your fault. Your father did everything he could. He tracked those hunters for weeks. Far off the reserve. :'''Zuba''': Finally, I had to assume the hunters....well... :'''Florrie''': We thought they'd killed you. :'''Zuba''': But my son fought them off! Don't mess with the King of New York! :'''Alex''': That's right! :'''Zuba''': Keep your chin in. :'''Florrie''': Alright. You boys be careful! Now watch out before you break something. You used to call this "foofie." :'''Alex''': "Foofie"? Foofie. :'''Zuba''': He doesn't want that. :''[Zuba grabs the Foofie away from Alex]'' :'''Alex''': This is my foofie! :'''Florrie''': Zuba, you better give him his foofie. :'''Alex''': I mean, no, thank you, thank you. It's perfect. :'''Zuba''': Son, you get your rest. You have a big day tomorrow. You're gonna need all your strength. :'''Alex''': I will bring the house down for you, Dad. :'''Florrie''': I hope so. Otherwise, your father will have to banish you. :'''Alex''': Jeez, Mom, really? :'''Zuba''': I know you'll do us proud. You know why? You were born with it. Good night, Alakay. My boy. My own boy. My son's a king. My son's a king. :'''Alex''': Good night, Mom. :'''Florrie''': Good night, Alakay. :'''Alex''': Foofie. Look at foofie! My foofie! Foofie, foofie, foofie.

Yeah, all right. :''[A rustle in the bushes caused them to stop and look. Some more people came out from the opposite direction.]'' :'''Man''': Oh, It's people. :'''Man''': Where did you come from? :'''Woman''': How did you get out here? :'''Man #2''': How did you get here? :'''Cameraman''': Can you help us? We're lost. :'''Man''': We're lost too. :'''Woman''': It was awful. A flash of black and white and they were gone. They took the jeep! :'''Man''': That happened to our jeep too! :'''Man #3''': What do we do? :'''Man #4''': How will we all survive? :'''Cameraman''': We got nothing. No food, no water, no shelter.

We're New Yorkers, right? :'''All''': Yeah. :'''Nana''': We survive the concrete jungle! When we need food, we hunt for a decent hot dog stand. Am I right? :'''Man''': She's right. :'''Nana''': When we need shelter, we build skyscrapers. :'''Man''': Exactly! :'''Nana''': When we need water, we build a dam. :'''Man''': Come on, We're New Yorkers, for crying out loud! :'''Nana''': If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere! :'''Mort''': I'm coming, King Julien!

Comes straight from the heart, you'll never go wrong. :'''Cub''': Sure, mister. :'''Makunga''': Hey, Alakay, I just happened to walk by, I thought I'd wish you luck you're not nervous, are you? :'''Alex''': Nah, it's my thing. You know It's kinda what I do. :'''Makunga''': In my opinion, the key to this whole thing is choosing the right competitor. :'''Alex''': Oh. You mean, this is like a dance battle sort of thing? Like a dance-off? :'''Makunga''': Uh... Sure. :'''Alex''': Great. I love that. Freestyle. Put your moves off. Who'd be a good match for me? You know just to keep things interesting. :'''Makunga''': Well, I wish I could help, but that's strictly against our ancient tradition and all that we hold sacred. But if it was me out there... I'd choose Teetsi. :'''Alex''': Teetsi. OK. Sounds interesting. Makunga, right? Thank you. :'''Makunga''': Anything for Zuba's boy. Go get 'em, tiger. :'''Alex''': Shake it out. A five, six, seven, eight. Let's go, let's do this. :'''Zuba''': Let us begin the rite of passage ceremony. :'''Florrie''': Come on, baby! Make Mama proud! :'''Zuba''': Woman, I'm trying to take... :'''Alex''': On it, Mom! :'''Zuba''': So who will be the first participant? :'''Alex''': Me! Oh! Me, me, me! Me! Me! Me! Me, me! Please, me? :'''Zuba''': How about you? The tall, handsome one. Yeah. Choose your opponent. :'''Alex''': Let me see. Hmm. Ah! I guess I'll pick... :''[Makunga looks left and right to see if anyone is watching him, then winks at Alex cunningly]'' :'''Alex''': Teetsi? :''[Everyone except Makunga gasps in shock]'' :'''Florrie''': ''[shocked]'' Teetsi?

Teetsi burst his eyes open and roars before proceeding to rise up, revealing his towering height and unseathing his claws. His muscles pop out starting from his legs, through his torso all the way up to his upper body and he lets out a ferocious roar.]'' :'''Alex''': All right, so, Teetsi, come on. Let's do this, huh? Come on, little tsetse fly. Let's see your stuff. Bring it. :'''Teetsi''': Let's dance! :'''Alex''': OK. But let me warn you that I am a protégé of....Fosse and Robbins! :'''Teetsi''': Not "dance" dance! Fight! :'''Alex''': Dance fight! You got it. :''[Alex starts dancing. Zuba and Florrie are confused.]'' :'''Florrie''': Is he dancing? :'''Zuba''': What is he doing? :'''Florrie''': I know that boy is not dancing. :'''Makunga''': ''[trying to hold his laugh]'' This is even better than I thought. :''[Alex still dancing as Teetsi roars and unleashes his claws!]'' :'''Zuba''': Alakay, turn around! :'''Alex''': No, Pop, it's hop, shuffle, ball change, hip swish, turn around. :''[Alex's pupils shrink in shock as he turns around to face Teetsi flying towards him with both fists extended.

Are you hurt? :'''Alex''': Oh. Yeah, I am. Did I, uh... did I win? :'''Zuba''': Oh no, son. How could, I mean... How could this happen? You told us you were a king. And a king does not get beat. :'''Alex''': Well, I am a king. I'm a... I'm the King of New York. It's... It's my stage name. I'm like, uh... you know, it's uh... for when I perform. :'''Zuba''': Perform? :'''Makunga''': '[showing no regrets for his own actions]'' Oh, no, this is horrible! Alakay has failed the test! Who would have ever imagined that today Zuba would have to banish... ''[inhales sharply]'' his own son? :'''Florrie''': Zuba, no. :'''Makunga''': Zuba, yes. Sadly, the Alpha Lion must cast out all failures. :'''Zuba''': ''[looks to his son and thinks about the consequences of banishing his son and decides to resign his title]'' Then I'm no longer the Alpha lion. ''[throws the staff]'' :'''Alex''': Dad, what are you doing? Dad, no! You can't do this. :'''Makunga''': Who could possibly take Zuba's place? Anyone? Someone? No one? :'''Random Lion''': Hey! :'''Makunga''': ''[Accidentally hits another lion]'' You, sir! I guess not. Well, I... This is all very awkward, but I suppose I could carry this tremendous burden. :'''Zuba''': Hmph. :'''Makunga''': Teetsi! Get the hat. :''[Teetsi picks up the fruit hat and walks to Alex]'' :'''Makunga''': As your new leader, I hereby banish Alakay!

Shoo, shoo! Get out of here! ''[to Alex]'' You should have told us, son. You should have told us that you weren't a real king! :'''Alex''': You never told me I'd have to fight anybody! :'''Zuba''': What did you expect, son?! :'''Alex''': I don't know! Maybe a little fatherly advice like, "Hey, son, it's a fight!" :'''Zuba''': You're a lion aren't you? :'''Alex''': But I never fought another lion! :'''Zuba''': No, I guess not. You dance! :'''Alex''': And other stuff! The point is your pal, Makunga, set me up back there! I mean, none of this would have happened... :'''Zuba''': If you were a real lion. :'''Florrie''': ''[scolding Zuba]'' ZUBA!! :'''Zuba''': Yeah, I said it! :'''Alex''': A real lion. Thanks.

He has the same sort of speech pattern. I mean, it's a little weird, really. You guys are... I mean, come on. Marty. :'''Marty''': So, you're saying there's nothing unique about me. I'm just like any other zebra. :'''Alex''': No. Of course you're different! :'''Both''': How? :'''Alex''': Okay! OK, I can't tell you apart. Maybe you could wear a bell or something? I don't know. :'''Marty''': A ''bell?'' :'''Alex''': OK, not a bell. No, bell's a bad idea. :'''Marty''': No, no, no! How about a T-shirt that says, ''"I'm with stupid?!"'' :'''Zebra''': I'm not stupid. :'''Marty''': Not you, stupid! ''Him'', stupid! :'''Alex''': You know what? While you've been off doing the prancing pony with your new posse, I've been having pretty much the worst day of my life. Okay? :'''Marty''': ''[sighs]'' It's always about you, isn't it? :'''Alex''': My problems are just a little bit bigger than yours, Marty. Alright, I couldn't tell you apart. So what?! ''[sees one of the two zebras leaving]'' Yeah, fine. Run away, Marty! Run away! That's what you do best! Just like back in New York! :'''Marty''': I'm right here. But you can't tell that, right? :''[Alex groans in frustration, mistaking the two zebras]'' :'''Marty''': Your one-of-a-million friend hopes you enjoy your ''bigger-than-anyone-else's'' problems alone! :'''Alex''': Good! Leave! I don't need you to help solve my problems! You know what, you're a dime a dozen, I can't tell which one's Marty! Oh, which one's Marty? Wait a minute, wait a minute, oh, yeah! I don't care! :'''Zebra''': Nice hat, you showoff! :'''Alex''': Marty.....don't go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Julien''': Giddy-up, giddy-up! Look, Maurice! Here's the perfect spot for my summer palace! So please fill in all these holes and relocate the riff-raff. Oh. Who'd leave a perfectly good head? :'''Maurice''': What a waste. :'''Melman''': Tell me about it. I'm in my prime here. I'm terminal, you know? I probably only have another two days left to live. :'''Maurice''': That's a bummer, man. :'''King Julien''': If I, King Julien... that's my name....only had two days left to live, I would do all the things I've ever dreamed of doing. :'''Melman''': Like what? :'''King Julien''': I'd love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I want to get even better, make my living out of it. ''[raspberries]'' You know what else I would do? I would invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology, even if they didn't want it! :'''Melman''': Easy for you to say. You're a king. :'''King Julien''': Yes. And you are only just a sad little head. There must be something you want to do before you die! :'''Melman''': Well, there is this one thing. :'''Julien''': What? Tell me. :'''Melman''': No, I couldn't. :'''Julien''': What is it? :'''Melman''': You know, I never told Gloria how I feel about her. :'''Julien''': What is it? Please tell me! :'''Melman''': I never had the guts to tell Gloria how I feel about her. How I've always felt about her. :'''Julien''': Fine. Don't tell me! Oh...Is it a woman? You didn't tell me it's a woman. :'''Maurice''': What are you afraid of? You're a dead man anyway. :'''Melman''': Yeah. Yeah. You're right. :'''Julien''': Well, you've got to march right up to this woman. Look her right in the eye. Lean forward. Just a little, or almost all the way. Then you let her lean forward a little until you're....just lips' distance away from each other. Then you tell her how much you hate her. :'''Melman''': Actually, it's more like love her. :'''Julien''': Oh, you sly dog! Woof, woof! You're a real player. Now listen to me. You got to rise up. You hearing me? :'''Maurice''': He didn't hear you. :'''Julien''': I can't hear you! :'''Melman''': Yeah. :'''Julien''': Good. You got to rise up! :'''Maurice''': Rising up! :'''Julien''': You're gonna get out of the hole! :'''Melman''': I'm rising out of the ground! :'''Julien''': He's rising, Maurice. :'''Melman''': I'm rising, Maurice! :'''Maurice''': Rising! :'''Julien''': You go right up to this woman! :'''Maurice''': Do you feel it? :'''Julien''': Go up to her face! :'''Maurice''': Tell the truth! :'''Melman''': I'm going to tell her! :'''Julien''': And then you say, "Baby, I dig you!" Yeah! :'''Melman''': Yeah! I'm going to do it! I'm going to do it! :'''Julian''': I love that happy little head. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Moto Moto''': ''[singing]'' She loves me She loves my eyes, She loves me She loves my thighs, She loves my roundness, She love that I'm chunky She love that I'm plumpy, She love my heftiness She love my zestiness She love me restlessly She love me forever She love me... ..'cause she love me :'''Gloria''': Moto Moto...before things get too serious, well, I was wondering, if I were to, for example, stay here... l'd like to ask you... :'''Moto Moto''': Let your candied lips be the messengers to my... ear canal. :'''Gloria''': Well I don't know. I have so many questions. :'''Moto Moto''': Well I promise the answer will always be yes. Unless no is required. :'''Gloria''': Okay. So what is it about me that you find so interesting? :'''Moto Moto''': You're the most plumpenest girl I've ever met. :'''Gloria''': OK. Other than that. :'''Moto Moto''': Let's see. Yeah, well, you know... you chunky. :'''Gloria''': Right. :'''Moto Moto''': My gosh, girl, you huge. :'''Gloria''': You said that. :'''Moto Moto''': Yeah, that's right. We don't have to talk no more. :''[From the forests. Melman appeared]'' :'''Melman''': Gloria! Gloria. :'''Gloria''': Melman. Melman, I want you to meet Moto Moto. :'''Melman''': Moto Moto. Yeah, nice to meet you. Well I guess I... :'''Gloria''': It's OK, Melman. Apology accepted. :'''Melman''': Oh. Yeah, right, that. That's why I... Good. OK. Well, that's it, then. :'''Moto Moto''': You're good. We're kind of busy here, man. :'''Melman''': No. No, that's not it. ''[pulls Moto Moto from Gloria]'' Listen, Mototo, you better treat this lady like a queen. Because you, my friend, you found yourself the perfect woman. If I was ever so lucky to find the perfect woman, I'd would give her flowers every day. And not just any flowers. OK? Her favorites are orchids. White. And breakfast in bed. Six loaves of wheat toast, butter on both sides. No crust, the way she likes it. I'd be her shoulder to cry on and her best friend. I'd spend every day thinking of how to make her laugh. She has the most amazing laugh. That's what I would do if I were you. But I'm not, so you do it. :'''Moto Moto''': OK. What? :'''Hippo''': That was beautiful. :'''Moto Moto''': Anyways, where were we? :'''Gloria''': I'm "huge"? <hr width="50%"/> :''[Alex is punching the bird's nest, like a punching bag]'' :'''Alex''': Surprised to see me, Makunga?

'''WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!''' :'''Bobby''': The watering hole's dried up! There's barely enough water for one of us! :'''Makunga''': Yes. Good observation, Shirley. :'''Bobby''': I'm Bobby. :'''Murray''': Makunga, what do we do? :'''Makunga''': '''''QUIET!!!''''' Listen up! I'm afraid there is only one solution to this horrible crisis: We'll all have to fight for it. :'''Hippo''': Fight for it? We can't fight for it. :'''Cape Buffalo''': This is crazy. :'''Bobby''': That's not fair. You'd win! :'''Makunga''': Exactly, Shirley. :'''Bobby''': I'm Bob-- ''[Makunga kicks him away]'' :'''Makunga''': Sorry, folks, but life isn't fair. I'm in charge now, thanks to Alakay, the dancing lion. :'''Timo''': Please, Makunga. This is the only water on the reserve. :'''Makunga''': If you're thirsty, you'll have to look for water off the reserve. :''[The animals talk about it, Alex looks back and remembers how he left the reserve when he got caught in the crate by the poachers when he was a little cub while Zuba tried to rescue him.]'' :'''Alex''': I left the reserve! And survived. I can do something about this. Looks like a clogged pipe. Like we get in New York all the time. I'll just travel upriver... :'''Makunga''': You? ''[laughing]'' :'''Alex''': Yeah! Me! I'll unclog the pipe and bring back your water. :'''Makunga''': Great! I'd help you pack; but the looks of that hat, I see you're all set! ''[laughing]'' :'''Alex''': Yeah. Fine. Go ahead. Laugh! Laugh your mane off! I'm gonna prove you wrong. ''[turns to leave]'' :'''Makunga''': ''[watches Alex leave]'' Maybe you should try a little rain dance.

Which one of us is Marty? :'''Alex''': All right. Well, if you see him, tell him his friend Alex came to say goodbye. :'''Zebra''': Goodbye? Don't go. Where are you going Can we come? :'''Alex''': No. This is something I have to do this alone. :'''Zebras''': You can't leave the reserve! What are you doing? They'll get your hat. Hunters are everywhere! Could you leave the hat? :'''Alex''': Marty, Look! I know you're in there. Before I go, I got something I want to say. You've been a great friend. You've helped me so often to see the bright side of my problems that I never think of you is having any. I wasn't there for you when you needed me. Just like back at the zoo. What kind of friend does that make me? A pretty lousy friend, I guess. Well I just want you to know that I... You're one in a million. :'''Zebra''': This is touching. :''[Another Zebra starts sobbing]'' :'''Zebra''': It is touching. :'''Alex''': So could you turn around so I can tell you to your face? That's right. Gotcha! I see you in there! Yeah, you. You, right there. Twelfth row, two hundred and third from the left. That's you, Marty. I know it's you. Know what makes you special? These guys are white with black stripes. You're black with white stripes. You're a dreamer, Marty. Always have been. You have great taste in music and horrible taste in friends. Well, not Melman and Gloria, but me. :'''Marty''': OK, I'm in. :'''Alex''': No, Marty. You can't come with me. :'''Marty''': I don't believe you have a choice. :''[Alex and Marty, reunited, walk side by side into the jungle, bumping each other playfully]'' :'''Zebras''': People are out there!

Don't give up hope. :'''King Julien''': Listen up! I will help you! There's only one way to get your precious water. I, your beloved King Julien must simply make a small sacrifice to my good friends, the water gods, in the volcano! :'''Rhino''': What does that do? :'''King Julien''': What does that do? Excellent question. My sacrifice goes in the volcano. The friendly gods eat up my sacrifice. "Very nice. Thank you for the sacrifice." "Here, have another sacrifice." "No, I've had enough." " Listen I'm insulted unless you have another." "I don't want another sacrifice okay?!" "Look at you! You look skinny!" "No! I've had enough! Is that clear?!" The gods eat the sacrifice. They are grateful. They give me some water, and then I give it to you. :'''Gloria''': What? :'''Female Okapi''': Does it work? :'''King Julien''': No! I mean, yes. Well, Maurice? :'''Maurice''': Ah, it's fifty-fifty. :'''All''': We'll do it! :'''King Julien''': Excellent! Now, all I need is someone who would like to go into the volcano and get eaten by gods. Any hands! Hands, anybody! Okay, I need someone, perhaps who has never found love, who could look death straight in the eyeball. A real, genuine hero. :'''Melman''': I'll do it. :'''Gloria''': Melman? :''[The crowd cheered and they carry Melman to the volcano chanting his name]'' :'''King Julien''': Hurry up! Before we all come to our senses! :'''Gloria''': Melman, what is wrong with you? :'''Melman''': I'm dying anyway. If there's a chance it'll get you water, it'll be worth it. :'''Gloria''': Are you nuts? :'''Melman''': Gloria, I just want you to know, back at the zoo, it was never the doctors or prescriptions that kept me going. It was always you. Seeing you every day, that's what kept me going. :'''Gloria''': Melman! Wait! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Florrie''': You going to mope around like this all day? :'''Zuba''': Hmph. :'''Florrie''': Don't "hmph" me. Listen, Zuba. A miracle happened.

Let's not lose him again. :'''Makunga''': Zuba! Zuba! :'''Zuba''': ''[angrily]'' Get out of here! :'''Florrie''': What do ''you'' want, Makunga? :'''Makunga''': It's awful.

What are you gonna do about it? :'''Makunga''': Your son, Alakay, he said he could fix it. He's gone upriver. :'''Zuba''': Off The Reserve?! :'''Florrie''': No! :'''Makunga''': I tried to stop him! I told him it was suicide, but he was determined to prove himself to ''you!'' :'''Zuba''': You stay here, in case he comes back! ''[running off to the reserve]'' :'''Makunga''': Hurry, Zuba! I'm so parched. ''[coughs]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marty''': Is this place starting to freak you out? :'''Alex''': We'll slip in, find the problem.

I just want to show him I'm a real lion. :'''Marty''': As opposed to a chocolate lion. :'''Alex''': Shh. I know this may sound hard to believe; but apparently, lions don't dance. :'''Marty''': ''[shocked]'' '''WHAT?!?''' :'''Alex''': SHH!! As far as my dad is concerned. :'''Marty''': As far as people are concerned, you're a huge hit. :'''Alex''': That was New York. This is Africa. It’s a much tougher crowd. Marty! Marty, this is it! This is the clog! Come on. :'''Marty''': Well, there's the water. :''[Marty drinks some of the water. While Marty is drinking the water, Alex notices Nana]'' :'''Alex''': Marty, stay down.

Byron Kennedy]] * Poetry is this screaming madwoman. Everything seems poetry. Madmen gaze high. Everything seems madness. Madmen fear no moon, fear no fire. Burns of flesh are poetry. Madmen's wounds are poetry. The witch's crime was poetry. Magic knew how to find its poetry. The star wasn't poetry before the madwoman discovered it. ** [[Giannina Braschi]] * To cut the Gordian knot is not the same as to untie it. Children and lunatics cut what the poet patiently spends his life in trying to untie. ** [[Jean Cocteau]] * I think one of poetry's functions is not to give us what we want... [T]he poet isn't always of use to the tribe. The tribe thrives on the consensual. The tribe is pulling together to face the intruder who threatens it. Meanwhile, the poet is sitting by himself in the graveyard talking to a skull. ** [[Heather McHugh]] * Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. ** [[Leonard Cohen]] * Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful. ** [[Rita Dove]] * Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them. ** [[Dennis Gabor]] * Poetry is the best of any language. ** [[Nathaniel Wenger]] * Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. ** [[Allen Ginsberg]] * The poet doesn't invent. He listens. ** [[Jean Cocteau]] * You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you. ** [[Joseph Joubert]] == What I Think About Poetry == I like poetry because it uses words in a beautiful way to share feelings and ideas.

And all obsolete materials must be destroyed. :'''Dexter''': ''[chuckles]'' Well, then. It sounds like you had a busy night. I'll just unplug it for a little while and you can get some rest.

So naturally, as my genius produced a fountain of amazing ideas. A not so inspired Mandark grew more and more jealous. He began stealing my creations and presenting them as his own. As you may well remember. :'''Adult Dexter''': ''[angry]'' Grrr! :'''Muscular Dexter''': He soon gained favor with the executive hierarchy and was quickly promoted up through the ranks. And with one diabolical coup, Mandark overthrew and became the very President of the corporation himself. Then darkness fell. Somehow my most prized invention: the Neurotomic Protocore, fell into Mandark's clutches. :'''Adult Dexter''': Oh my gosh, we left the core out in my cubicle. ''[Dexter hits him with his elbow]'' :'''Muscular Dexter''': Mandark tried to employ the powers of the core but the incompetent fool set the positive flow to negative. And now corrupt energies of the core began to twist Mandark already crooked mind, making him even more greedy insane than ever before. I could take it no more. To escape the perversion of my own science, I went underground literally. I dug a tunnel out from Mandark's tower. For years I dug and dug, inching my way to freedom. But while I dug the negative Neurotomic energy swept the world, numbing the minds of the people, allowing Mandark to work his evil tentacles into every facet of technology and society. It was as though he just reached down and wrecked the Earth clean. Hoarding all science, all knowledge for himself. When I emerged I found this world broken and stupid. I did what I could to help, but with the overlord's robots enforcing terror across the land and very few resources at my disposal, it's been a fight just to survive. :'''Dexter''': Aw, buck up, hero, we found the lab and we can all help. :'''Muscular Dexter''': The laboratory!?!

John Lasseter wanted to switch the locale to New Orleans, a city he loves, but the project was eventually shelved. Meanwhile Disney had explored various versions of The Frog Prince going all the way back to the time of Beauty and the Beast. In 2006, Disney bought the rights to a book called The Frog Princess, which was the fairy tale with a twist: when the Princess kissed the frog, she turned into a frog as well. When John Lasseter was put in charge of Disney animation in February 2006, he asked John and me to take a look at all the previous versions and come up with our own. We combined the New Orleans setting with the twist, added some new characters and pitched a take that became the basis for the movie. : We also did a lot of research in New Orleans itself. We went to the Jazz Fest, toured the French Quarter and the Garden District, spent a day with a Voodoo priestess and toured the bayou with a Cajun tour guide. We also got to ride a float during Mardi Gras. All of this stuff found its way into the movie. * Mama Odie was based on Ava Kay Jones, an ordained Voodoo Priestess who we met with in New Orleans. She told us that even though magic is part of the Voodoo religion, when people come to someone like her for help, she advises them to never use magic to solve their problems. That almost always backfires. Rather they should look inside themselves for the answers. Dr. Facilier was based on the New Orleans "Bokor". People who've broken away from the religion, made pacts with dark Voodoo spirits, and sell their magic for money. In terms of scariness, I think Facilier was handled similarly to our other villains like Ursula, Jafar, and Hades. We like scary stuff, but don't want to go too far. Some people thought Facilier was too scary. :* [[w:Ron Clements|Ron Clements]] [http://www.dvdizzy.com/princessandthefrog-interview.html ''An Interview with John Musker and Ron Clements'' ''UltimateDisney''] * In earlier versions of our story, Mama Odie gave our heroine some gris-gris, herbal charms that got "energized" in the climax. We wound up rewriting that as our gris-gris felt like a bit of a deus ex machina. We do think of Facilier and his shadows as scary and were not trying to soft-pedal that. Some of his scariness we thought of as "funhouse" scary and not slasher film scary. ** [[w:John Musker|John Musker]] [http://www.dvdizzy.com/princessandthefrog-interview.html ''An Interview with John Musker and Ron Clements'' ''UltimateDisney''] ==Cast== * [[w:Anika Noni Rose|Anika Noni Rose]] — [[w:Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)|Tiana]] * [[w:Bruno Campos|Bruno Campos]] — Prince Naveen * [[w:Keith David|Keith David]] — Dr. Facilier * [[w:Michael-Leon Wooley|Michael-Leon Wooley]] — Louis the Gator * [[w:Jennifer Cody|Jennifer Cody]] — Charlotte "Lottie" La Bouff * [[w:Jim Cummings|James J.

It means you should have paid more attention in high school and I have a dollar. I have four quarters and ''you'' have a bad job. Don't get pissed at me because you didn't learn how to type, you no-back-up-plan-having pain in the ass. ** Response to a stripper * I am not homophobic; I am cock-conscious. === ''Joe Rogan: Live'' (2006) === * Here's the craziest thing about life. This is the thing that nobody really considers: You know as much about what life is all about as anybody who's ever lived, ''ever''. That's the craziest thing about us. We're all just kinda wandering through this, going, "You know what you're doing?" "''Yes.''" "Oh, I do, too. I know what I'm doing." "Okay. Good, then." But really no one has a fucking clue. * Some people don't believe in aliens. I ''do'' believe in aliens. But I believe they gave up on people a long time ago. Wouldn't you? I think there's a few liberal aliens out there, still hangin' in: : "Hey man, I think they're gonna pull it together. I think we should help them; give them more technology." : "No! Every time we do that, they blow shit up! No''ooo''". * We have comic book bad guys. Osama Bin Laden is right out of a fucking comic book. Think about it: He's a billionaire genius … who hates us! He lives in a cave. He used to work for the good guys and got all their secrets, and then he switched over to the dark side. And every time they almost capture him, he mysteriously gets away, and leaves behind a threatening tape. What is this, a fuckin' Stan Lee production? * When women go to see men strip, we ''never'' accuse you of hating men. ==== "Noah's Ark" ==== * I was at home the other day, high as giraffe pussy, watching the History Channel and they had this documentary on "In Search of Noah's Ark", and I went "Uhhhhh, how 'bout you go lookin' for the fuckin' Snuffleupagus while you're at it? I heard that dude's a-missin'! You really gonna go? Yeah? Hey, on the way back will you go to Whoville and get me some Green Eggs and Ham? You fucking gullible prick!" Don't get me wrong, if you're religious I'm not saying there's no god, I'm saying; people are full of shit, and that story sucks. Hello? Why do we have to believe it just because it's been around a long time and makes no fucking sense. You tell the story of Noah and the Ark to an eight year old retarded boy - he's gonna have some questions. It's just a bad story! Even if you're really good at telling stories, and you set him down; "Right, Bobby! Once upon a time, God was mad at ''all'' the people in the world! And instead of telling everybody what they were doing wrong and offering guidance, he decided to go ahead and drown '''everyone'''! And he only told one man - a random man named Noah. Just picked him out of a crowd, he wasn't a special man - in fact Noah was 600 years old and a drunk! Anyway, God told Noah to build a boat, and he and his family would be the only people to survive the flood. Because, apparently, all the people with their boats, their shit didn't work! Noah magically got two of each animal to come to him on foot, from ''all over the world''! And they willingly boarded the boat and got in the cages, and they sailed away for forty days and forty nights and civilisation began anew!" Eight year old retarded boy's gonna be like "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ohhhhh, there's a lot of holes in that story! Let me sit down for a moment! First of all, how big is this fuckin' boat?! Didn't you tell me there were millions of animals? One guy built this boat, how long d'it take him? Where did he get all of the wooooooood? 600 years, he seem a little old for a fella to be taking on a project of this magnitude! ''[Grunting noises]'' The animals come on foot, isn't the earth 24,000 miles long? With three quarters covered with the water?! Wait a minute, what did the animals eat when they were on the boat for forty days, since '''since animals like to eat other animals'''! '''I'M NOT THAT RETARDED'''!" You motherfucker. "Four people come from Noah, Noah's a white guy, where did all the black people come from?!" I'm all in favour in believing that there's a purpose to life. I just want it to make a little sense, that's all. ==== "The Devolution of Stupid People" ==== * That's the scariest thing about life, it's that dumb people are out-breeding smart people at a fucking '''staggering''' pace. And nobody ever even talks about it! We all kinda know it's happening, and the real problem is; most of us are dumb. We don't want to admit it, but really, how many of us are really smart? Look, I know I'm stupid. I know. I know I'm stupid, yet I'm smarter than almost everybody I meet! And the real problem with dumb people is, they don't even know they're dumb. That's a part of being dumb, you're not aware! There should be a way to tell, like a home pregnancy test type thing. Some shit you take at home and you lick it and you go "Oh, I'm a fucking idiot! '''Shit!''' The fuck is this?! It's broken, gimme another one!" Dudes would never believe it, idiots would have fucking boxes stacked to the ceiling. "'''LIAR! COCKSUCKER! NO!'''" The real problem is, most of us are idiots! We just like to think that we're not idiots because we use a bunch of shit that smart people have figured out. But how many of us understand any of that shit? Think about the technological level the world operates on, how many of us really understand that? What if everybody out there died, and we had to take over the world? How well would you think we'd do? ''[Crowd starts cheering]'' "Yeah, terrific! We would do awesome!" Yeah, does anybody really know how any of this shit works? ''[Taps microphone]'' Why's that loud, any idea? I've been a comedian for sixteen fucking years, I have no idea what's in there! I don't know, some loud shit? I don't know. ''[Points at spotlight]'' What makes that bright, bright shit? I don't know. Think about all the stuff you need to run your life. Computers and palm pilots and cell phones, how many of you know how to make ''any'' of that shit?! I mean, if I left you alone in the woods with a hatchet, how long before you can send me an email? '''We are not smart! We buy shit from smart people!''' I don't have a camera on my phone because I'm smart! If you left me on an island for a fucking million years I could never figure out how to put a camera on a phone! I don't even know what a camera is! I know that I press a button and a picture shows up. What happens between me pressing the button and the picture showing up is '''anybody's fucking guess'''! There might be leprechauns with spray paints fucking gremlins up the ass! All I know is "megapixel"! Yeah, you gotta say that to get the good shit. I don't even know what a megapixel is! It's like a noise you make with your mouth. "Megapixel! Ohhh, you're clever! You are clever!" Who knows of people who know that shit? Does anybody know anyone that's invented anything? Who are they? Is anybody watching them? Making sure they're alive? Making sure that somebody mixed kids with them? No! No one's paying attention! I think what's going to happen is that one day smart people are just gonna die and they're gonna leave us with a bunch of shit we don't understand. I think there's gonna be no warning! We're just gonna be sitting around, having a good time, having a couple of drinks, power's just going to shut off. Everybody's gonna get out their lighters "Way to go, you fuckin' idiots! Can't even keep the power on, what the fuck …" And what do you do when the power goes out? I don't know what you do, what I do usually is that I sit around and I wait. Cause I figure "There's a guy fixing that shit. Probably working out it right now …" How long will it take before you figure out all the smart people are dead? It would take ''years''. You would have to run out of batteries, "Dude I don't know how to make a fucking battery, what do we do? '''SHIT!'''" "Listen, just get together with a torch, okay? Get a torch, we're all gonna meet in the street and we're all gonna work this out. It's gonna be cool." Standing out in the street with a torch, "What'sup, fag?" "Dude, you know how to get the power on?" "I thought you did!" "No … all right, keep me posted." "You too!" We'd just be sitting in our houses with out torches. That would work. 'Till the animals realise we don't have electricity any more and they start sneaking around, checking shit out. And they realise there's no loud noises to scare them off any more and bears just start grabbing people. ''[Imitating bear attack]''. They just realise we're fat and slow, they don't even have to catch us. They scare us, we'll just black out. It's a matter of time before they start eating us! More evolution! But not me motherfucker, I've got guns! I've got bullets, I'm gonna be fine! … Until I run out of bullets. "I don't know how to make a fucking bullet, do you? '''SHIIIITTTT!''' Dude, there's bears out there, we don't even have any bullets, what the fuck do we do?!" "Listen man, we're gotta get out of the city, we're sitting ducks. This is what we should do; we should move back into the caves!" People will live in the caves again! "Dude, it's safer in the caves, bro! Just fucking guard the entrance with sharp, pointy sticks!" "'''GRRRR'''" "AAHHHH!" We would just get down to a core group of survivors, fighting off the bears. And within one or two generations we would forget '''EVERYTHING!''' Trigonometry, calculus, all that shit's gone! Science, the 'net, it's gone! It's never gonna happen again! It would take thousands of years, you would have to reinvent electricity … within one hundred years would think the world's flat and the sun is seventeen miles away. Just like the people that wrote The Bible, that's what they thought, ain't that funny? "'''GRRRR'''" "AAHHHH!" We would just devolve to a core group of survivors and let them re-evolve and re-discover the earth. How crazy would that be? How crazy would a caveman discovering downtown Phoenix be? Just coming out of the cave with his fucking club, with his buddies. "Dude, who fuckin' built all this shit?" "Bro, it had to be aliens!" "'''FUCK YEAH!''' Fuck yeah it's aliens! I can't do that, you do that?" "Neither can I! What the fuck?" See, I think this has happened before. I think it explains the pyramids. And yeah, I was ''reeeallyy'' high when I thought this up. But it makes sense! If you ever watch a documentary on how they built the pyramids, they have no idea how they made those things. "Well, we believe they used levers", but this is all that you really need to know. They know they're there, so they know somebody made them. But all you need to know about the Great Pyramid of Giza; there's two million, three hundred thousand stones that weigh between two and 80 tonnes - some of them were cut form a quarry that was that was '''five hundred miles away'''! No machines, no trucks, no steel, they had copper tools and they were perfectly cut, you couldn't even get a razor blade in between these rocks and they were perfectly aligned, true North, South, East and West. And if you cut and place ten of these monstrous stones a day it would take you '''six hundred and sixty four fucking years''' to make one pyramid! All brought to you by people who thought the god Ra took the sun across the sky in a canoe and returned later that evening with the moon. They had sixteen year old queens! Cleopatra was '''sixteen years old''' when she was running shit. That's like Lindsay Lohan being Queen of the world! And they built that?! They built that? Are you sure? Are you sure? Okay, because I have another theory. I think people used to be really, really, really fuckin' smart! But the dumb ones just out-fucked the smart ones! That's what I think! I think that we are all the bastard children of the idiot stone workers of Egypt! I think that at one point there was a master race and they were reading each other's minds and they were free of ego and they were totally honest and they were mapping out the cosmos and behind them, the stone workers just fucked away. ''[Mimics stone workers having sex, and giving birth to a child]'' "Oh look, he look just like me! That's my fella right there!" They just took over. And one day the smart people just die. There's probably no warning. Just one day the idiots show up at the pyramids "Hello?! Anybody in there?! We're supposed to get our checks on Friday! Hello?! The boy's have got overtime coming! The holidays' just around the corner, have you no heart?" Then eventually they just realise the smart people are all dead. "What do you want to do?" "I think for now we should just move into the pyramids then we'll figure it all out". And that's what they did, they just moved in. Then they just started lying about it. After a couple of generations, "Who built this?" "'''WE DID!''' We're the best, we're number one! Egypt! Egypt! Egypt! Look at that beautiful flat wall! That's craftsmanship, son! I think I will draw stick figures on it! ''[Mimics drawing]'' "This … is a woman … she's carrying food upon her head … that's important to document! And this … is a man … but, ''he has a head of a dog!'' And he's evil!" You sure they made that? They wrote in stick figures, dude. === ''Shiny Happy Jihad'' (2007)=== * ''[About [[w:Fear Factor|Fear Factor]]]'' Every now and then I'll be right in the middle of it and just go "''What'' the ''fuck'' am I doing? There's a girl with a mouthful of animal dicks, and I'm telling her 'you can get more in there', and she's ''listening'' to me. That's my ''job''? Oh, my guidance counselor owes me a fucking apology. That dude lacked vision." * [It's] 2006 and [[w:cannabis|pot]] is still controversial. That's hilarious. Pot's still illegal and no one has a jet pack. What the ''fuck is going on?!'' Isn't this Silicon Valley? Where's the jet packs, bitch?! I just wanna go up to everyone making cell phones and say, "Hey, ''that's small enough''. Stop right there. Just keep them ''working.''" 72 inch TV? That's plenty big, dude. Just keep them working. No, you'll never get pot and you'll never get a jet pack. And you'll certainly never get the two of them at the same time. Civilization would fucking crumble. Be honest, would you work? 'Cuz I wouldn't work. Who the fuck is gonna show up for work at the mortgage company when you can smoke pot and ''fly''?! * I was raised Catholic. That's why I don't take religion too seriously. * I personally think confession was just someone's idea of a sick joke. One dude came up with it, then he died, and he forgot to tell everyone he was only fuckin' around. Think about the idea of confession … you take a guy who's not allowed to masturbate, or have sex, ''ever'', then you make him wear a ''costume'', then he has to sit in a dark booth, and listen to fuck stories whispered through a hole in the wall! * Guys don't know they're pussy whipped until it's too late. Until you do something that lets you know, like when you shush your friends: "Hey, man, remember that time we went to Vegas and…?" "Dude, shut the fuck up about Vegas! The fuck are you ''doing''?! The window's open, man! ''She's'' somewhere in the city!" * No girl wants a secretly gay boyfriend, every dude wants a secretly gay girlfriend. === ''Talking Monkeys in Space'' (2010) === * Nature is everything, okay? We don't like to think that our society is nature, because we created it. But guess what? This is no different than a fucking beehive; it's just more complicated, 'cause people are smarter than bees. Cities are natural, that's why they're everywhere. … You know what's ''not'' natural? ''You'' … in the middle of the ''mountains'' … in the middle of the ''winter''. * ''[On [[Dr. Phil]]]'' Ladies, please listen to me, don't you ever take relationship advice from a guy you don't wanna fuck, okay? Because let me tell you something: if you don't wanna fuck him, chances are a lot of other girls don't wanna fuck him either; and that guy is gonna say whatever he needs to to make you happy. … He says crazy shit. He told this one man that masturbating is ''just'' as bad as cheating on his wife. I fucking shit you not! If I had a gun in my hand I woulda Elvis'd that TV. === ''[[w:DMT: The Spirit Molecule|DMT: The Spirit Molecule]]'' (2010) === [[File:5-MeO-DMT.svg|thumb|We humbly reintroduce [[psychedelics]] back into the cultural dialogue.]] * With the help of two concepts that are traditionally opposed—science and spirituality—we humbly reintroduce [[psychedelics]] back into the cultural dialogue. * I ask that you suspend any opinions, either negative or positive, about these [[psychedelics|compounds]]. Whatever you believe their value to be, they continue to have profound effects wherever we find their use, whether it's contemporary Western culture or in the Amazon rainforest. === ''The Joe Rogan Experience'' (podcast) === * We're all in this, like, constant wrestling match with biology, and the reality of our environment, and the utter ridiculousness of the fucking universe. The whole thing. It's constantly weighing on you. When I drive home, every fucking time I drive anywhere, at some point in the drive, I'll roll down the window … and I look up, and I just want to see forever. And I just want to stick my fucking head out, and know that, that this goes on forever, right from here, forever, little perspective shot. Boom. Roll the window back up. ''None of it makes sense! It's all crazy!'' And if you're really paying attention to the whole thing, and pretending that ''everything's moving along fine and I'm in this temporary body, with no idea of what's next, but that's okay, I'm gonna raise a bunch of other temporary beings, and we're gonna fucking drive around, and spend money, which doesn't even mean anything, because it's based on confidence, and it's just ones and zeroes in a data bank somewhere, and hopefully no one's manipulating it! I want to get what I earn!'' And you just keep going 'til your fucking heart stops. * People are scared, man. They're scared of the void. ** ''The Joe Rogan Experience'' #211 (2012) * <p>'''[[Richard Dawkins]]''': I think that eternity is what is frightening about death.

The idea of the soul being some sort of a divine thing that's inside the housing of the body.</p><p>'''Brian Cox''': Yeah. I would say we can rule that out, actually.</p><p>'''Joe Rogan''': Rule it out? How do you rule it out?</p><p>'''Brian Cox''': I have argued that we can rule it out in the following manner: here is my arm, right. It is made of electrons and protons and neutrons. And if I have a soul in there—something that we don't understand, but it's a different kind of energy or whatever it is we don't have in physics at the moment—it interacts with matter, because I am moving my hand around. So whatever it is, it is something that interacts very strongly with matter. But if you look at the history of particle physics in particular, which is the study of matter, we spent decades making high-precision measurements of how matter behaves and interacts. And we have looked, for example, for a fifth force of nature. So we know four forces: gravity, the two nuclear forces—called the weak and strong forces—and electromagnetism. And that is what we know exists. And we have looked for another one, with ultra-high precision, and we don't see any evidence for it. So I would claim that we know how matter interacts at these energies. It is room temperature now. At these energies, we know how matter interacts, very precisely. And so, if you want to suggest that there is something else that interacts with matter strongly, then I would say that it is ruled out. I would go as far as say that it is ruled out by experiment.</p> ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wieRZoJSVtw&t=1h22m38s ''The Joe Rogan Experience'' #1233] * <p>'''Joe Rogan''': What do you think consciousness is? Do you think [[w:Metaphysical naturalism#The mind is a natural phenomenon|consciousness is clearly a factor of brain tissue]] and energy, or do you think it's possible that what our brain is is [[w:Mind–body dualism|something that "tunes into" consciousness]]?</p><p>'''[[Brian Greene]]''': Well, I've spent some time thinking about this question, and I think it is perhaps the deepest question that faces science, or even humanity at some level. My own personal perspective is that consciousness is nothing more than the choreographed motion of particles in various quantum states inside a gloppy, gray structure that sits inside this thing that we call a "head". Do I have any proof for that? No. Does anybody have any proof of what consciousness is? Not at all at this moment. But the history of the [[w:Reductionism|reductionist]] program, where we have been able to take some of the more spectacular creations that have emerged in the world and recognize that they are nothing but the product of their ingredients and the laws of physics, leads me to extrapolate that idea to the experience of consciousness. Now, having said that, there's a deep puzzle. It's called the [[w:Hard_problem_of_consciousness|hard problem of consciousness]], which is: if electrons and quarks and particles and laws of physics are all that there is—and if you buy into the fact that electrons don't have an inner world, that quarks don't have an inner world—how can it be that by taking a collection of those particles, you can "turn on the lights"? How can a collection of mindless, thoughtless particles somehow yield mindful experience? And that's a deep question that science has not yet answered. My own feeling is, when we understand the brain better, that question will evaporate. We'll look at the brain with our newfound understanding—maybe it's a hundred years in the making, maybe a thousand years in the making—and we'll say: "Aha! When electrons and quarks and protons move in this particular configuration, one of the byproducts is an inner sensation that we call conscious experience." And that, to me, is the likely answer that we will find. But there are some very smart, well-respected people who go in a very [[w:Panpsychism|different direction]]. There are some who say: electrons and protons and quarks, they do have a fundamental proto-conscious quality. They themselves are conscious beings of a sort. Now, it is not like you are going to have electrons that are crying, or quarks that are anguishing, but if you have a little proto-element of conscious experience that is imbued into a particle, and then you take a lot of the particles and then you put them together, the idea is, that yields the manifest conscious experience that we're familiar with. I don't buy into that.</p><p>'''Joe Rogan''': Why do you pick a position?</p><p>'''Brian Greene''': Well, I take a position on this because I guess my view is, you look out at the world, and what you do as a physicist is, you move the smallest degree required to explain the phenomena that you are observing. And to move from our current understanding of the world, to leapfrog to a place where electrons are conscious and quarks are conscious, to me is such a fantastically radical move that I don't consider it justified to make that move with our current level of understanding. There was a time, back in the 1800s, when life itself was so mystical that people basically said the same kind of thing: how could a collection of lifeless particles ever come together and yield a living being? They said that they can't. You have to induce a life force, you have to inject a life force, and that's what sparks the emergence of life from lifeless particles. I don't think any serious scientist thinks that today. I think most serious scientists say: "Yes, life is wonderful, life is in some sense miraculous, but life is nothing but the particles of nature coming together to yield the complex molecules of DNA and RNA, the complex cellular structures, the cells come together to yield the more complex multi-cellular organisms, and that is all that it takes to have something that is alive." No life force is necessary. That way of thinking about the world has gone away. And my own feeling is that that kind of progression is going to happen to consciousness. Today it's utterly mysterious how it is that I have this inner voice talking inside my head, how it is that I look around the world and I can see the color red, and I can experience the color red. I don't just have sensors that can call that "red". I mean, an iPhone can do that. I actually have an inner world where I feel that color red. Where does that come from? Hard to answer, that question, but I think, a hundred or a thousand years from now, we'll look back and smile at how we in this era invested consciousness with such a mystical quality, when in the end, it's nothing but particles and the laws of physics, and that's all there is to it.</p> ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4wQsmAtZoc&t=1h08m12s ''The Joe Rogan Experience'' #1428] * "Do you know what I made the mistake of doing yesterday?

Patti? :'''Patti''': The Sixth Article of the Constitution states the courts shall have the power to punish anyone who covers the science lab with molten lava. :'''Ms. Wingo''': And do we know anyone like that? :'''Class''': ''[turning and pointing in unison at Doug, who is crouched at the side of his desk]'' IT'S HIM! :'''Doug''': ''[jumping on top of his desk and putting a rose in his mouth]'' You'll never get... wa na na... Jack Bandit! ''[swings across classroom on a rope, and before escaping out the window, tosses his rose to Patti, who catches it]'' :'''Patti''': ''[dreamily]'' What a guy! :''[After jumping out the window, Jack lands in the arms of a police officer]'' :'''Mr. Bone''': ''[through megaphone]'' Funnie! This is goin' on your permanent record! :'''Patti''': Jack! You've got to escape! :'''Doug''': ''[rolling out of policeman's arms]'' So long, suckers!!! :''[Back to reality. Doug has just fallen out of bed and Porkchop licks him awake.]'' :'''Doug''': ''[narrating]'' It seemed as if my only chance was to go on the lam. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doug''': On second thought, I think I better just draw a map. It's a lot safer. ===''Doug Bags a Neematoad'' [1.02]=== :'''Mr. Funnie''': Look out, Bluffington, the Funnie family has arrived! :''[The population sign changes from 19,997 to 20,001 people.]'' :'''Doug''': Population 20,001. I guess the one is... me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Doug''': I hope Skeeter and me become best friends-'' ''[Porkchop begins growling]'' ''-best humans friends! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Roger''': I'll catch one that'll make that 'neematoad' look like a 'neematadpole'! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Dink''': So, Douglas, did you find the Honker Burger?

The new kid wants three moo cows, one no cukes, one no stinkers, one wet one, four cubers, and four from the vine. Want anything else? :'''Doug''': Well, how do you order a salad from the salad bar? :'''Skeeter''': One salad from the salad bar. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Skeeter''': Wow, I've never seen a vegetarian dog before! :'''Doug''': It's just a phase. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. Dink''': This is my wife, Tippy.

But, You've just broken one of your own rules: "No grabbing other people's comics". :'''Patti''': And according to your own rule book, the punishment is one Saturday Detention. :'''Mr. Bone''': But, I can't stay here. I have a yodeling class. :'''Doug''': It's a rule, Mr. Bone. :'''Mr. Bone''': But it's a silly and pointless rule. :'''Patti''': But that's what we've been telling you, Mr. Bone. :'''Mr. Bone''': I don't want to miss my yodeling lesson. :'''Doug''': Mr. Bone, may I suggest a new rule? :'''Mr. Bone''': Not another rule. :'''Doug''': Just one more...

The series was created by [[w:Chris Morris (satirist)|Chris Morris]] and written by Morris, [[w:David Quantick|David Quantick]], [[w:Peter Baynham|Peter Baynham]], [[w:Jane Bussmann|Jane Bussmann]], [[w:Arthur Mathews (writer)|Arthur Mathews]] and [[w:Graham Linehan|Graham Linehan]]. == Series I == === ''Animals'' === :'''Chris Morris''': Boo-hoo about calves! They do that with crabs, I don't see you weeping about crabs. :'''Dinner Party Guest''': Well, I think every animal has as much right decent treatment as we do. :'''Chris Morris''': You're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak! Thanks. ''[leaves the table]'' ---- :'''Chris Morris''': ''[describing a tradition in Tripoli]'' An outdoor celebration in which the men of Tripoli have a great time - but the same cannot be said for their cattle. At the climax of the feast, a cow is rounded up and driven into a metal tube - a tube which is charged with explosives. The cow is fired through the air and lands in a crunched-up bone heap. Running men then clobber any remaining life out of it with their fists and feet and sticks. The body is dragged about and then left for the dogs and jackals. And possibly scorpions if they eat meat, I don't know... ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Over the centuries, man's relationship with animals has been complex. In ancient Egypt, felines were worshipped because the Egyptians thought they were funny. Many of today's familiar relics are cat monuments. ''[pyramids are shown as the ears of huge cat statues]'' These vast cat heads were built underground and seen by no one. Europe, too, has its animal traditions. In Zaragoza, the streets still get crazy with the annual running of the wasp. In Britain in the last century, it was quite acceptable for a young gentleman to lose his virginity to one of London's many whore dogs. Dickens and Prince Albert both boasted of their experience. Today animals are used more discreetly, as a vital lubricant in the wheels of government. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': There are many legal sports that kill animals too. :'''Patrick Da Fronk''': ''[a fox hunter]'' I think the thing that people get fussed about is that a fox is a small brown furry animal, very much like a dog. Um, I don't think they'd be nearly so worried if it was a little four-legged car... full of chips. :'''Chris Morris''': The evil of our relationship remains a paradox. If you plot "Number of animals abused" against "What makes people cruel" versus "Intelligence of either party", the pattern is so unreadable that you might as well draw in a chain of fox heads on sticks. And if you do that, an interesting thing happens: the word "cruel" starts flashing. So, are we cruel to hunt foxes? :'''Patrick Da Fronk''': The fox feels nothing. It's made of... string. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Institutionalised cruelty is one thing, but the twisted brain-wrong of a one-off man-mental is quite another. Ted Maul disturbs. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': What sort of mind would do this? We contacted a huge bank of psychiatrists in the States. They told us: "The guy's a homo!" ---- :'''Simon Hottrin''': ''[tormenting a cow]'' You don't even know what electricity is, do ya? Little planets in the wires... ---- :'''Ted Maul''': These docs show that Hottrin had been driven nuts because the land on which he lives is owned by the cow. In the will of Edith Bates, a local crone who loved cattle - then eccentric, now dead - the cow inherited the land, and a special bank account for stockpiling rent. Meanwhile for the beast, which knows nothing of money or bitter mankind, life has become a living cow-mare, thanks to the thoughtless beneficence of a mad old woman. ---- :'''David Jatt''': Here's a point. We execute wasps, but we don't execute dogs. :'''Sir Peregrine Worsthorne''': We execute wasps because they sting us, and dogs give us pleasure. === ''Drugs'' === :'''Chris Morris''': The effects of a heroin overdose are lethal. Yes, in the short term, but there's been absolutely no research into the long-term effects. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': People say that alcohol's a drug. It's not a drug, it's a drink! ---- :'''Chris Morris''': The biggest problem of all is the law. It is legal to carry drugs if you're not actually touching them. These men avoid contact by using helium balloons attached to little drug baskets. It's also legal to buy and sell drugs if you do it through a mandrill. Typically mandrills work at night, approaching the house of a client with a drug pouch and returning with the money. Mandrills are intelligent and vicious, capable of throwing a 12-stone man over 40 feet, but mandrills have been protected by law ever since [[w:Elizabeth I|Queen Elizabeth I]] gave birth to a child resembling a mandrill by mistake. ---- :'''Noel Edmonds''': What is Cake? Well, it has an active ingredient which is a dangerous psychoactive compound known as "dimesmeric andersonphospate". It stimulates the part of the brain called "Shatner's bassoon", and that's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. So a second feels like a month. Well, it almost sounds like fun, unless you're the Prague schoolboy who walked out into the street, straight in front of a tram. He thought he'd got a month to cross the street... ---- :'''Bruno Brookes''': ''[about "Cake"]'' You know, they've even tested this stuff on rats. Turned them into bloody space hoppers, for God's sake! Come on! ---- :'''Lemuel Webb''': ''[to a classroom of kids]'' Drugs need you. ''[underlines the "U" on a blackboard and crosses it out]'' If you take the "you" out of drugs, what have you got? Drgs. ---- :'''Ian Beezley''': Well, we live in very drugged-off times. I've seen mothers chasing children down the street - who's to say they're not going to inject them with drugs once they catch them? ---- :'''Chris Morris''': If time's a drug, then [[w:Big Ben|Big Ben]] is a huge needle injecting it into the sky! ---- :'''Bernard Manning''': Cake is a made-up drug. It's not made from plants, it's made from chemicals... by... sick bastards. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Luckily, the amount of heroin I use is harmless. I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis. Fine. But what about other people less stable, less educated, less ''middle-class'' than me? Builders or blacks, for example. If you're one of those, my advice to you is leave well alone. Good luck. === ''Science'' === :'''Ted Maul''': Loser Street. Look at all the feckless dregs. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': A London alley. A body. Looks dead, but it isn't. It just wishes it was. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': The personal organizer revealed a chain of rich clients for organs and limbs. Donald Trump has received over seven feet of new tongue. Even Saddam Hussein has an access - he's obsessed with having white lady's wrists. ---- :'''Tania Bryer''': Perhaps the most disturbing effect is the disruption of rivers. This is footage of the river Euphrates flowing backwards. It looks like it's flowing forwards, but only because we've reversed the film. === ''Sex'' === :'''Chris Morris''': ''[having exaggerated sex with a woman]'' If this were really happening, what would you think? :'''Chris Morris''': ''[in studio]'' Perhaps you wouldn't be that surprised. Increasingly, it seems the bone around our brains is not the skull, but the pelvis. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': We are permissive, yet confused. It is quite acceptable for Peter Sissons to receive oral sex during disaster reports on the ''Nine O'Clock News'', and yet on the Isle of Man nudity is still considered so shocking, it's illegal for babies to be born naked. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Now, our friend here was unlucky enough to catch his virus from a blood transfusion, something he had no control over-- :'''AIDS Guy''': No, no, sorry, I got it from my boyfriend. :'''Chris Morris''': Your boyfriend? :'''AIDS Guy''': My partner, yeah. :'''Chris Morris''': So you got bad AIDS, not good AIDS? ---- :'''Chris Morris''': ''[to the AIDS guy]'' What if a madman broke in here with a machine gun and shot you to pieces? Anyone here yawning would get your blood in their mouth! ---- :'''Sir Hugh Maharggs''': Homosexuals can't swim, they attract enemy radar, they attract sharks, they insist on being placed at "the captain's table", they get up late, they nudge people whilst they're shooting. They ''muck about''. Imagine... the fear... of knowing you have a gay man on board a boat, when you retire at night you think to yourself "God... will I wake up and find everybody dead?" You can't run a ship like that. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Welcome back. Now, sex and children. "Stop right there," you might think, but don't say it, because to hear the word "stop" is, for many, the biggest turn-on of all. ---- :'''Audience Member''': My father repeatedly abused me between the ages of four and sixteen. :'''Chris Morris''': But it hasn't happened a lot recently? :'''Audience Member''': No. :'''Chris Morris''': Good. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Now, throughout tonight's program, we've also had a naked asexual man up a stick watching some pornography. Have you reached any conclusions? :''[The man shakes his head]'' :'''Chris Morris''': Well, I hope that's been of some help. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': We'll just leave you with a couple of items of whore news: a large build-up of whores in a digger on the A47 tonight, and don't forget that in Leicester, Joanna Lumley, Anita Roddick and Helena Bonham Carter are all whoring themselves all night to raise a little money to buy some coloured bricks for some children. Helena's speciality there is a golden shower. And if you're anywhere near Yarmouth, watch out for that giant whore. ''[An overturned car is shown]'' It's still on the loose terrifying everybody, including the police. === ''Crime'' === :'''Chris Morris''': UK used to mean United Kingdom, but ask anyone today, and they'll tell you it stands for "Unbelievable Krimewave"! ---- :'''Chris Morris''': This month, police pictures showed another estate in Manchester turning itself into a gun. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': From the moon, Cowsick's a little dot. From the ground, it's a huge mess! Like Dante meets Bosch in a crack lounge! ---- :'''Ted Maul''': Cowsick. The stench of poverty hangs in the air like an old man's nappy. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': For the cops, it's a jungle, where dangerous animals speak ''Swear''hili. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': They say a bored mind makes a great office for the Devil. In Kerry Hufford's case, it's fully air-conditioned with free typing. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': Cowsick's people are the smashed toes of a lame duck society - a lame duck that's attacking its own feet with a sledgehammer. Will the nightmare ever end for Cowsick? Perhaps with some help from outside? Oh yeah? In 1993, the council gave them a football. Good, but not enough. In '95, Paul McCartney donated a hundred top hats. Fat use. And last year, the mayor gave them a goldmine. It actually worked for a bit, this, until someone clogged it up with sick! ---- :'''Tommy Vance''': Now while you're inside here, you're going to have to learn a whole new language. It's not French, it's prison slang, and I've got some of it written here, so it might help. ''[reading]'' "Howard's Arse" means prison. "One-nil at half-time" means food. "Woggy coconuts" means air bricks. "Gazza" is a gas-coin used as currency for cigarettes. "Plank sanction": a one-for-one fag exchange. "Sue my chin": give us a fag, I'll give you two next week. "Buff my pylon": give us a fag, you owe me two, so I'm letting you off the other one. "Don't buff my pylon": switch over the telly. Oh, and very important this one: "Portillo" means look out behind you. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Research shows that football riots can be halted instantly by showing pornography on the video displays. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': In Holland, they've halved the crime rate by legalizing murder with the introduction of slaughter cafes! ---- :'''Chris Morris''': This French system of victim support comes to Britain next year. Last month, that woman woke up to find a young offender defecating on her floor. Under police supervision, she now meets the offender at his house... and is given an hour to formalize a similar return on his floor. === ''Decline'' === :'''Moss Staples''': The most likely explanation is that people are just seeing some blue light bouncing off a strut. But try telling that to these bog-brained murphies. You'd have more chance of getting a blowjob from the pope. ---- :'''Christopher Morris''': Your phone calls tonight have been described variously as "rabid", "pig-ignorant" and "stultifyingly ill-informed". ''Thanks''... for those. === ''Paedogeddon'' === :'''Chris Morris''': Even our most drastic measures don't work. Last month, the notorious paedophile Sidney Cooke was blasted into space to spend the rest of his life aboard a one-man prison vessel, posing no further threat to children on Earth. But it was revealed that an eight year old boy was placed on board by mistake, and is now trapped alone in space with the monster. A spokesman said: "This the one thing we didn't want to happen." ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Why can we no longer think of the British Isles without the word "Paedoph" in front of them?! ---- :'''Chris Morris''': Security footage of a paedophile disguised as a school. He's been getting away with it in Sheffield for twelve years. Do you know him? Have you seen him? Please call. :'''Swanchita Haze''': Yes, we must catch that man, he really is a shit. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': But today the number of children having sex with adults is beyond belief. If you define a child as anyone under thirty, the figure is over 86%. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': Yes, and I don't know if you can sense the air of aggression here, but ten minutes ago, we threw this crowd a dummy full of guts. It lasted just eight seconds. This is very much a protest that's swallowed a bomb and given the detonator to a monkey. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': I recently met one of North's victims. She was in fact so upset, she would only talk to us through her sister disguised as a [[w:troll doll|plastic troll]]. :'''"Kelly"'s Sister''': She still can't really speak about it. :'''Chris Morris''': I asked "Kelly" if she would mind demonstrating North's perversions. Someone who agrees to rub their breasts on television is clearly inexcusably disturbed. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': But even in prison, North's rastopedic impulses found new outlets. He was allowed to write articles for a magazine, edited by a man who at that time had a nine year old nephew with a nice pink arse and no hair on his balls. The orgy of sly-winking usury was only brought to an end by a stairwell nonce bashing, which left North braindead and quadrospazzed on a life glug. ---- :'''Andy McNab (ex SAS)''': Let's just get one thing straight: the British Army has never launched an offensive against a six-year-old child. ---- :'''Dr. Fox''': Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it ''is'' scientific fact. ---- :'''Chris Morris''': You are a paedophile, you are a nonce, you're a perv, you're a slot badger, you're a two pin DIN plug, you're a bush dodger, you're a small bean regarder, you're a unabummer, you're a nut administrator, you're a bent ref, you're [[w:The Crazy World of Arthur Brown|The Crazy World of Arthur Brown]], you're a fence vole, you're a free willy, you're a chimney bottler, you're a bunty man, you're a shrub rocketeer... :'''"Peter"''': Yes, well, those are just some of the names we have to put up with every day, and it's really just another form of racism. ---- :'''Announcer''': ''The Pedo-Files''! Starts next week on 4, straight after ''Paedophile Island'': a hundred kids and an ex-offender, on an island full of cameras! What's going to happen?! ---- :'''Ted Maul''': Yes, a vigilante has just tried to fire himself over the prison walls using a giant catapult. Minutes earlier, a test projectile, believed to be a side of beef, cleared the parapets by a full twenty feet. But when the man himself was fired, his trajectory was all out of goose. He thumped into the wall, you could hear his bones breaking on impact. Medics say he may live, but only with his neck as an internal organ. ---- :'''Ted Maul''': Sheets of flame, dancing to the beat of primitive animal justice! One man kebabbed, hundreds scarred forever by a shared blood ritual! And yes, an astonishing sense of community here now! A positive atmosphere, a sense of a job well done, a shared sigh of relief - very much like the bizarre euphoria at the end of an hour's vomiting! ---- :'''Chris Morris''': A Peter File was attacked in his car this evening, but I have to say, if your surname was File, would you call your son Peter? :'''Swanchita Haze''': No! :'''Chris Morris''': ''[chuckles]'' And look, if a child does take your fancy, please remember: leave it a couple of years. :'''Swanchita Haze''': I did. ==External links== {{wikipedia}} [[Category:Mockumentary TV shows]] [[Category:UK satirical TV shows]] [[Category:Channel 4 (UK) shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:News parodies]] 1rigygvmlmzdc654dtum8nrbk43qupg Scooby-Doo!

Mystery Incorporated]]''''' is the 11th [[Scooby-Doo]] television series. Taking place in the small town of Crystal Cove, where the adults (especially Mayor Jones) often try to use the phony spooks as ways of making money, the show follows the kids as the mysteries they solve leads to an even bigger, even more dangerous, even more terrifying mystery. New to this series that separates it from other revivals of Scooby-Doo is the overarching story plot, the focus on the romantic relationships of the gang, and the darker tone of the show. == Season 1 == ===Beware the Beast from Below=== :(''First lines'') :(''The gang cheers'') :'''Velma''': Another mystery bites the dust. :'''Fred''': Way to go, gang! :'''Daphne''': Let's celebrate! :'''Scooby''': Yeah, celebrate. (''Sheriff Stone closes the cell door'') :'''Altogether''': Huh?! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Better idea. :'''Fred''': Aw, come on, Sheriff. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Just cork it. You see this badge? Know why it's here? :'''Velma''': It came with the shirt? :'''Sheriff Stone''': It's here because if there's a crime, I solve it. (''goes to the office door'') Oh, and by the way, I've called all your parents, who by now I have on speed dial. (''mocking'') Oh, are you in trouble. Especially you, Fred. Say hi to dad, the Mayor. (''leaves'') :'''Daphne''': Just once it would be nice if someone thanked us for solving a mystery. :'''Fred''': Good thing we're not in this to be liked. (''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne look a little annoying to him'') You know, that didn't come out quite right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Welcome to the Crystal Cove haunted tour. I'm your ghoulish guide Velma. The first documented case of the curse of Crystal Cove is from 1630, when a garrison of Spanish conquistadors mysteriously vanished from the harbor. :'''Female Tourist''': Oh, that is so scary! Where did they go? :'''Velma''': What part of the word "mystery" didn't you understand? The curse struck again in 1765 when an entire town of missionaries likewise disappeared. Anyway, things were pretty quiet until 100 years later, when Cletus Darrow found gold here and renamed the town Crystal Cove. Most people thought the curse had been lifted, until the entire Darrow family disappeared one Halloween and was never seen again. (''Velma plays a tape of the Darrow family screaming'') Moving on. (''Velma leads the tourists inside to the exhibits'') Since the disappearance of the Darrow family, Crystal Cove has been a hub of paranormal activity. You might recognize some of our more famous visitors. Ghostly deep sea diver Captain Cutler, Miner '49er, Charlie the Haunted Robot, and who could forget the terrifying stylings of Space Kook? Not me. :'''Male Tourist''': Oh! How frightening! :'''Female Tourist''': Oh! Absolutely blood-curdling. :'''Velma''': Not really. They all turned out to be fakes. (''The tourists gasp and talk amongst themselves'') Yep. Captain Cutler, was just some guy who was hijacking boats. Miner '49er's real name was Hank. Charlie belongs to Mr. Jenkins who thought it would be easier to run an amusement park with a crazy robot. And Space Kook? Oh! Don't get me started! (''Angie and Dale cover Velma's mouth'') :'''Dale''': Thank you, Velma. Well, that concludes the terror-ific tour. :'''Angie''': Don't forget to stop in at the haunted snack shop for souvenirs and your complimentary undead sipper cup. (''The tourists run off'') What do you think you were doing? :'''Dale''': Are you trying to destroy our business? :'''Velma''': Reboot, parentals. I was just being honest. :'''Dale''': Those were isolated incidents in Crystal Cove's otherwise-unblemished supernatural past of hauntings and paranormal happenings. :'''Velma''': Your generation's belief, not mine. My generation, we only got one thing on our minds… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': (''tying his ascot'') Solving mysteries and building traps. :'''Mayor Jones''': That's two things, Fred. :'''Fred''': You know what I mean, Dad. We just want answers. Is that wrong? :'''Mayor Jones''': Tickling chin whiskers, Fred. The mayor's son is supposed to set an example. :'''Fred''': I'm trying, Dad. In fact, just yesterday, I entered one of my traps in the district science fair. It was rejected for not actually having anything to do with science, but… :'''Mayor Jones''': I just don't want you to make a mistake you'll regret. :'''Fred''': You mean, like, making a bad trap? :'''Mayor Jones''': No! Life is not all about traps. It's also about… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': Pancakes and bacon. :'''Shaggy''': And sausages and orange juice. :'''Paula''': Don't forget to chew. :'''Colton''': And breathe. :'''Shaggy''': Like, thanks, Mom and Dad. :'''Scooby''': Yeah. Thanks, Mom and Dad. :'''Colton''': Your mother and I are worried about this mystery phase you're going through. We're not saying find new friends. We're… :'''Paula''': Yes, we are. Find new friends. :'''Shaggy''': You guys have got nothing to worry about, man. Me and Scoob always play it safe. If there's danger… :'''Scooby''': We run fast, really fast. :'''Shaggy''': And as for our friends, if you guys just gave them a chance, you'd see… <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': The gang is misunderstood. We're just solving mysteries. All the kids are doing it. :'''Barty and Nan''': No, they're not. :'''Nan''': And what about this "Fred Jones?" Certainly, there must be other boys. :'''Daphne''': Not like Fred. He's, like, one of those geniuses that no one understands until they're dead. He sees things different, and he wants to catch those different things in his traps. :'''Barty''': Honey, we just want you to go on to have a rich career, like your sisters. :'''Daphne''': That's Fred and the gang. Got to go. Don't want to be late for school. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Bye, Daisy. Bye, Dawn. Bye, Dorothy. Bye, Delilah. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Foreman''': Hey, you sure you guys don't want any of this Fruitmeir's smoothie? Oh, it's delic… (''leans to a wall, which breaks'') Ahhh! What the whozit? Which one of you broke that wall? :'''Worker 1''': We barely touched it. :'''Worker 2''': Is that another sewer? :'''Foreman''': Impossible. There's only one sewer and we're in it. Unless… :'''Worker 1''': We've broken into another dimension. :'''Foreman''': No, idiot. We've busted through to one of the old Crystal Cove caves. :'''Worker 1''': (''turns the radioactive drum and knocks on it, seeing there is something inside of it'') Huh? I think there's something in there. What should we do? :'''Foreman''': Well, it's pretty clear, isn't it? Those are radioactive symbols, meaning what's ever inside is dangerous, meaning we need to open it right away. Don't want what's ever in there to mess up our schedule. :'''Worker 1''': Hey, I think I see something. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': (''after being attacked by the slime monster'') Zoinks! (''laughs nervously'') Like, what was that? :'''Fred''': (''getting out of the Mystery Machine'') It looks like a mystery to me, and I think that's just a little more important than school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': These are military. From the oxidation, probably 30, 40 years old. :'''Daphne''': (''finds locket'') Fred, I found something! ''(Opens locket and music plays)'' :'''Fred''': Hmm, could be a clue. Good work, Daphne. :'''Daphne''': Thanks, Fred. You're so sweet... ''(looks up. Fred has walked away, looking for clues)'' It's okay. We can talk later, um... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': All right, you see what happens when you kids stick your noses where they don't belong? People get cocooned! :'''Shaggy''': Like, man, we found them like that. :'''Daphne''': (''trying to show what she means with her hands'') Sheriff, there was a monster… :'''Sheriff Stone''': Quiet. From this point forward this is a ''crime scene'' and future tourist attraction - stay out of it. (''walks away'') :'''Velma''': I gotta stay out of it right here. (''holds up fist'') :'''Fred''': Let me talk to him. (''walks away'') :'''Daphne''': (''dreamily'') Don't worry. Fred will make him understand. :'''Fred''': (''runs back carrying body'') Shaggy, start the car! :'''Shaggy''': Like, I thought you were going to talk to him. :'''Fred''': He wasn't in a listening mood. :'''Velma''': (''opens back of the van'') So you stole a body? Rockin'. (''Fred throws the body in the trunk'') :'''Fred''': Don't worry. I know just who can help us. (''school bell rings'') :'''Professor Emmanuel Raffalo''': All right. Who can tell me what photosynthesis is? (''they all raised their hands up'') And please don't say "plant farts". (''they all lowered their hands'') (''sighs'') (''door opens and Professor Raffalo sees Fred and Shaggy carrying the body in the classroom'') :'''Fred''': Professor Raffalo, we need your help. (''classmates scream and run out'') :'''Emmanuel''': Couldn't you kids have waited for break? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Is he…? (''gulps'') :'''Emmanuel''': No, he's alive. But he appears to be in some sort of dehydrated stasis. I don't quite know what that means, but I'm guessing it's temporary. :'''Scooby''': (''sees squirrel food'') Mmm, Scooby snacks. (''Opens the squirrel cage reaching its food, and the squirrel goes rabid and attacks Scooby'') :'''Daphne''': Do you know what could have done this? :'''Emmanuel''': The cocoon material looks organic, but I'll need to do further tests. The sheriff okayed this? :'''Fred''': Uh, of course he did. What, do you think we stole a body? That's rich. (''laughs as he pushes the gang out the school'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Franklin Fruitmeir''': Welcome, everyone to Fruitmeir's. Remember, it's not ice cream, it's not yogurt. (''laughs'') I really don't know what it is. Would anyone like a shrimping boat made out of circus balloons? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel''': Mm, yeah, Crystal Cove. That was the Rotten Brains with their single, Zombie Housewife Blues. I'm Angel Dynamite. And you're listening to K-Ghoul 101.4 on your AM dial. (''Shaggy knocks the door'') I was wondering when y'all was gonna show up. He's in the back. :'''Daphne''': (''Angel opens door. Fred is lying down with his head on the record player'') Fred? It's us. We're here for you. (''sits down next to him. Scooby Doo licks his hair'') :'''Fred''': It's no use, gang. I was the one who stole the body and Professor Raffalo paid the price. I should have listened to my dad and stayed out of any new mysteries. :'''Velma''': We all helped steal the body, Fred. :'''Shaggy''': Well, I actually never took... (''Velma elbows him in the ribs'') Ow! Okay, fine. Yes, we all took part, Freddie. :'''Daphne''': Fred Jones, you've never backed away from a mystery in your life. :'''Fred''': I've got nothing! :'''Velma''': Man up, Fred. We still have our first clue, the cocoon. I brought a sample... (''Scooby is eating the slime from the cocoon'') Scooby, what are you doing? :'''Scooby''': What? It's Ruitmeir's! Yummy! (''Starts eating again'') :'''Velma''': Eww! :'''Angel''': Check it out. If that dog mutates, I'm putting it down. Dig? :'''Shaggy''': Like, hold on, I think I get it. (''walks over and tastes the slime'') :'''Daphne, Fred, Velma, Angel''': Ew! :'''Shaggy''': No, you guys, it's Fruitmeir's. The cocoon is made of the same stuff as Fruitmeir's Dessert. :'''Daphne, Fred, Velma, Angel''': What? (''They all get up and taste it'') :'''Daphne''': They're right. But if the cocoon is made of Fruitmeir's Dessert... :'''Shaggy''': That means if we capture the monster, we can have our own shop. And we can have an endless supply of Fruitmeir's Dessert. Oh, boy. :'''Fred''': No. It means that that Slime Mutant may not be a monster at all. What do we know about Franklin Fruitmeir? :'''Velma''': Franklin Fruitmeir. Showed up in town out of nowhere two months ago. Before that, nothing. He's hiring right now for female servers. :'''Fred''': And that's our in. :'''Shaggy''': If the girls can get jobs at Fruitmeir's, they can snoop around and find out more. :'''Fred''': Great idea, Shag. :'''Shaggy''': (''he and Scooby are dressed as girls''). Um, like, uh, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Why are Scooby Doo and I dressed like girls when Velma and Daphne ''are'' girls? :'''Scooby''': Yeah. My skirts too tight. :'''Daphne''': Because Velma and I refused. (''Shaggy and Scooby glare at them'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': All right, gang. Fan out. See if you can find anything that will tie Franklin Fruitmeir to the Slime Mutant. :'''Daphne''': Hmm. Must be a key around here somewhere. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Are you two insane? :'''Shaggy''': Mon-mon-monster! Like, right behind us! :'''Fred''': Monster? There's no monster. :'''Velma''': Jinkies! Where's Daphne? :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Fred''': Daphne? Daphne? Daphne? Daphne? Daphne? :'''Daphne''': Here. I'm down here. I'm okay, but you better get down here. I think I found something. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': This is gonna be awesome! (''the cage eventually falls on him, Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma. The slime monster laughs and covers them in slime. Daphne gasps, then sees the slime mutant next to her'') :'''Daphne''': Aaaahhh!!! (''runs'') :'''Velma''': Daphne, run! (''Daphne runs past and jumps through hole in the ceiling, followed by slime mutant'') :(''Scooby starts eating slime'') :'''Fred''': Eat, gang! It's Fruitmeir's! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Fred! You saved me! :'''Fred''': Not right now, Daphne. I have to figure out why my trap didn't work. :'''Sheriff Stone''': What is going on here? :'''Mayor Jones''': Why is the town's latest tourist attraction cocooned to the wall? :'''Fred''': Dad, Sheriff, hold on. You don't understand. That is not a monster. :'''Mayor Jones''': Oh, hopping steamed clams, Fred. Then who is it? :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne''': Franklin Fruitmeir. :'''Velma''': He was trying to rob Crystal Cove bank. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Uhh, that's impossible. Franklin Fruitmeir's the one who called us. (''Franklin arrives'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': What? :'''Franklin''': I was making a clipper ship out of circus balloons when the silent alarm rang at my home. Oh, good gracious! What is that? :'''Shaggy''': But if the monster isn't Franklin Fruitmeir, then, dude, who is it? :(''Scooby unmasks The Slime Mutant'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Professor Emmanuel Raffalo? :'''Emmanuel''': That's right. I was trying to scare people away from the sewers while I dug my way into the bank and got rich. :'''Daphne''': But you've got a job as a teacher. Why do you need more money? :(''Emmanuel doesn't answer'') :'''Daphne''': Yeah, my bad. :'''Fred''': Oh, yeah, right. :'''Shaggy''': You're really getting ripped off. :'''Emmanuel''': I discovered that the Crystal Cove caves were connected to the sewer by accident while collecting mold spores for my class. Once I realized the cave led right under the bank, I put my plan into motion. Fruitmeier's gave me secret access to the sewer, so I decided to frame balloon boy for the crime by using his disgusting dessert. I staged my own disappearance to throw doubt on any hint of my involvement. Oh, it was foolproof, genius. That is, until you... you... :'''Sheriff Stone''': Meddling. :'''Emmanuel''': Meddling! Yes, meddling kids and your blasted dog ruined everything. :'''Daphne''': Wait. (''shows the locket'') What about this locket we found where you were digging? (''Mayor Jones is angrier and shocked when he saw the locket'') :'''Emmanuel''': Never seen it before. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Alright. Well, guess we owe you kids thanks. You did save the bank. Although you also lost the town a serious revenue stream. Stream of revenue!!! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': You okay, Daph? :'''Daphne''': I just don't get it. If this locket didn't belong to Professor Raffalo, then who? (''The telephone rings, Shaggy pressed the button'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, K-Ghoul 101.4, what can we scare up for you, daddy-o? :'''Mr. E''': You're all doomed. :'''Shaggy''': Like, uh-uh-- Like, who... who is this? :'''Mr. E''': You can call me Mr. E. You should never have brought that locket out of the cave. You don't know what you've uncovered. :'''Daphne''': Uncovered? Uncovered what? :'''Mr. E''': A truth that should have remained hidden the truth behind the curse of Crystal Cove. The ''real'' mystery has just begun. :'''Scooby''': Scooby... Dooby... Doo. ===The Creeping Creatures=== :'''Velma''': (''sighs'') I am so bored. We haven't had a good mystery in I don't know when. :'''Daphne''': Fred, I think I've read every magazine in your house. What's that? :'''Fred''': No, don't! :'''Daphne''': ''Traps Illustrated?'' Freddie! :'''Fred''': I, uh, I read it for the articles. In fact, it's where I got the idea for this little beauty. :'''Velma''': Who do you expect to trap outside your front door? :'''Fred''': Let's find out. :'''Delivery Guy''': I got a package for, uh, Fred Jones. :'''Fred''': Hey, that's me. :'''Scooby''': What is it? :'''Shaggy''': Like, um, I think it's a box. :(''Fred and Daphne glare at him annoyed'') :(''Fred opens the box'') :'''Velma''': (''picks up a card inside'') It's from Mr. E! (''reads'') Saved this for a rainy day. Enjoy. :'''Daphne''': Mr. E gives me the creeps. (''Fred starts to open the box'') Fred, careful. That could be a bomb! (''Fred pulls out a purse'') Ooh, strike that. Cute purse! (''reaches for it, but Velma takes it'') :'''Fred''': Check it out! ''100% pure gator. Made in Gatorsburg''! :'''Scooby''': Gatorsburg? :'''Daphne''': But that's impossible! Gatorsburg hasn't manufactured Gator products in decades! :'''Velma''': Not since the gator mines dried up! :'''Scooby''': Gator mines? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Gang, we have a mystery on our hands! :'''Velma''': Oh, sweet Christmas, finally! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': (''sniffs'') I didn't touch it. :'''Shaggy''': Like, dude, how about we check out Gator Burger? :'''Scooby''': Sounds delicious. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs. Dinkley''': Hello? :'''Mayor Jones''': Yello. :'''Mrs. Blake''': Yes? :'''Velma''': (''into phone'') Hey, Mom. We're stuck in Gatorsburg. :'''Fred''': (''into phone'') The van broke down. :'''Daphne''': (''into phone'') Think you could come and get us? :'''Mrs. Dinkley''': Oh, I wish I could, but tonight's race night! You know me and horses! Venus is in it's third retro grade which means I'm betting on Sick Little Monkey to show. :'''Mayor Jones''': Malevolent mushroom caps, Fred. I've already got the recliner in the reclined position. There's no going back from that. :'''Mrs. Blake''': Oh, sweetie, it's dark out. I can't go out in the dark. (''Fred, Daphne, and Velma hang up'') :'''Shaggy''': (''calls and gets the answering machine'') Oh, wait. Duh. It's still life night. :'''Velma''': (''slyly'') I guess we're here for the whole night. :'''Scooby''': And Scooby-Dooby-Doo. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Don't suppose you could recommend a hotel? :'''Grady Gator''': My sister Greta runs the best in town. (''points at the Drowsy Gator hotel'') The Drowsy Gator. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greta Gator''': Gunther! We've got guests! :'''Gunther Gator''': Well, hello. :'''Greta Gator''': This is my son, Gunther Gator. I'm Greta Gator. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Greta Gator''': I got a few hotel rules. (''Fred enters the room, but Greta blocks Daphne and Velma'') Rule number 1: Boys and girls in separate rooms. No exceptions! :'''Velma''': Then I guess I'm with you, Daphne. :'''Greta''': I said ''no exceptions''! :'''Velma''': But, I'm a girl. :'''Greta''': Oh, right. Rule number 2: stay in your rooms, no matter what you hear. That includes screams, moans, wails, pounding, claws scratchin', and anything that sounds like a body being dragged across a hard-wood floor. :'''Fred''': Okayy... :'''Greta''': I almost forgot. Rule number III: no pets ''(allowed)'' in the '''''HOTEL!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': (''showing Daphne his trap scrapbook'')....and I left a few pages blank, you know, for future traps. :'''Daphne''': (''extremely bored'') Good thinking. (''Scooby bursts into the room, terrified and panting'') :'''Fred''': Scoob! What's the matter? :'''Daphne''': He's trying to tell us something! (''Scooby tries to show them what he means'') :'''Fred''': Tater people! Uh, crater sneeple? (''Scooby starts wheezing'') Skater feeple! :'''Daphne''': (''stands up'') Gator people! (''Scooby sighs in relief'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Wait. That isn't real. It looks like part of a costume. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': They weren't trying to eat us. They just want us out of town. :'''Daphne''': Why? :'''Fred''': I don't know. But if we're gonna solve this mystery, we have to go back into Gatorsburg. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': Say what? <hr width="50%"/> :(''The police car arrives'') :'''Fred''': Time to find out who these greedy gators really are. (''unmasks the Creeping Creatures'') :'''Daphne''': Grady Gator? :'''Shaggy''': Greta Gator? :'''Scooby''': Gunther Gator? :'''Fred''': But why? :'''Grady''': After we ran out of gators, everybody moved OUT of Gatorsburg. But not us. :'''Greta''': This here's our home. :'''Daphne''': So with no alligators left, you decided to make imitation gator products and pass them off as real. :'''Velma''': But you couldn't have anyone snooping around Gatorsburg. So you created the Creeping Creatures to scare people away. :'''Fred''': Then you could run your gator ring without anyone knowing who you were or what you were up to. :'''Shaggy''': Like, that is one ridiculous plan. :'''Gunther''': And you know what? We would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling juveniles and your unauthorized investigation of our synthetic gator accessories. :'''Sheriff Stone''': You're telling me this gator stuff is fake? I paid a fortune for this track suit! :'''Velma''': Sorry, Sheriff. :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''sighs'') Man, I gotta get out of this suit. This fake gator doesn't breathe. It's starting to smell a little... ''funky''. Arrest them... ''[pauses]'' [[Air Force One (film)|even though I have absolutely NO JURISDICTION HERE!!]] (''drives away'') :'''Fred''': Wait, Sheriff. can you give us a ride? The Mystery Machine isn't... :(''The engine of Mistery Machine is revving'') :'''Everyone''': (''gasps'') :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! Like, there's no engine in the Mystery Machine. It's haunted. :(''Fred opens the hood, there's a letter of Mr. E'') :'''Velma''': It's from Mr. E. :'''Daphne''': (''opens the letter and reads'') "Hope you had a good time in Gatorsburg. But be warned, there are more mysteries to come. This is only one piece of the puzzle". :'''Fred''': Puzzle? What's that supposed to mean? :'''Shaggy''': Like, I've got a bad feeling we're gonna find out. (''The lightning thunderstorms appears loudly in the sky, Shaggy grabs Scooby whimpers'') ===The Secret of the Ghost Rig=== :'''Police Officer''': You realize you were speeding? :'''Teenage Driver''': Y-yes, I do, Officer. :'''Police Officer''': Okay, as long as you know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': Ah, Fred my boy! Today is a very exciting day for you, because today you learn the family business: politics! :'''Fred''': Politics? That's ''adult'' stuff! You know, kids my age are into traps and solving mysteries! :'''Mayor Jones''': No they're not, son! You're going to learn all the vital things I do for this community, like create pamphlets and strategize about new places to put parking meters. :'''Velma''': I know a place he can put another parking meter. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Rung''': Anyway, give me a jingle and we'll plan a magical night on the town. (''glances at his watch'') Oh yeah, the life of the seventh largest regional ladder manufacturer never stops. Sorry, but I gotta ''rung''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Are you trying to set me up with - ''him''? What about Fred? :'''Mr. Blake''': You're just friends, right? :'''Daphne''': Well, yeah - but we're really good friends. And I don't know, it feels like cheating. On a friend. :'''Mrs. Blake''': Darling, think of it like trying a new cut of meat. Why have ''ground beef'', when you can have a nice prime rib? :'''Daphne''': But I don't even like meat! I like vegetables. Like Fred. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': What's going on here - (''notices George Avocados'') Avocados. :'''Avocados''': That's A''voc''ados. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': (''flirtatiously'') You know, Shag, I have plenty of food back at my place. :'''Shaggy''': Um, like, thanks Velma, but Scooby Doo has had his tongue tattooed with a map of every single pizza joint in town. As you can see, we got it covered. :'''Velma''': Yeah, in drool. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': And so you're saying this ghost truck disappeared like a, uh... ghost truck. :'''Scooby''': Yep, that's pretty much it. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Well, looks like you kids might have stumbled onto a new tourist attraction. :'''Shaggy''': ''Tourist attraction''? Like, man, it nearly dumped us in the cove! :'''Velma''': Besides, we're not even sure it was a ghost! :'''Sheriff Stone''': I'm sorry, but didn't you say there was no driver? That's textbook ghost truck, case closed! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': I ''knew'' it! Anyone with hair that perfect has to be guilty of ''something''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': (''caught in Fred's trap'') Screaming pandas, what is the meaning of this? :'''Fred''': Dad, we think George Avocados is the ghost trucker, and he's trying to sabotage your reelection! :'''Mayor Jones''': That's completely absurd. Why would a ghost drive a truck when everyone knows they can fly? Especially an eighteen wheeler, those require a Class ''Six'' license. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': Nice going, Raggy. (''laughs'') Good job. :'''Mayor Jones''': (''arrives'') Pickled porcupines. What's going on here, Fred? I was in my office working late, when suddenly it sounds like some demonic force is tearing apart city hall. Tell me it's true. :'''Fred''': It's even better, dad. We caught the Ghost Trucker. And he's none other than... :'''The Ghost Trucker''': Let me out of here! Aaah! (''crawls from out of the Ghost Truck and falls to the ground'') Uhh! :'''Everyone''': Rung Ladderton? :'''Rung''': Ooh, ahh, shock. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling... peers. :'''Daphne''': Of course. It all makes sense. Rung was using the Ghost Truck to smuggle doorknobs out of Crystal Cove, so he could find Theodore Avocados' missing diamond. :'''Fred''': Avocados disguised the diamond as a doorknob. That's why it was never found. :'''Rung''': You are correct, my little ascot-wearing friend, but that idiot Avocados didn't say in his journal which crystal knob was really the diamond. So, I had to steal 'em all. And what better way than with a Ghost Truck to smuggle them all out of town? :'''Velma''': We should have known. The other guy who bought the tires was G. Nurno Treddal, a name far too ridiculous to be real, because it's Rung Ladderton spelled backwards! :'''Fred''': But Rung, you're rich. You've got everything: ladders, ascots. Why did you need a diamond? :'''Rung''': I inherited a ladder company. We make the one product in the world that no one ever replaces. Ladders don't wear out like TVs or personal trainers over 40. (''Sheriff Stone handcuffs Rung'') No, no. They're built to last, which means no sales. The company's broke. :'''Daphne''': I don't think you'll be needing this anymore. (''removes Rung's orange ascot'') :(''Sheriff Stone takes Rung into custody'') :'''Fred''': Thanks, Daph. :'''Daphne''': No worries. I'm always here for you, Fred. (''removes the purple ascot and puts the orange one to Fred'') Seriously, right here. :'''Mayor Jones''': I gotta hand it to you, Fred. Your traps actually came in handy this time. :'''Fred''': Gee, dad. Does this mean you finally accept what I want to do with my life? :'''Mayor Jones''': (''laughs'') Oh Fred. No. ===Revenge of the Man Crab=== :'''Dylan''': Here, I brought some water. :'''Brenda''': Ew, I don't want any of that fatty fat water! I want Trickells' Trickquid! :'''Dylan''': Trickell's Trickquid ''is'' water. :'''Brenda''': Um, ''no'', it's one hundred percent diet moisture. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Ugh, not that place! That guy's a total freak! :'''Shaggy''': No, he's, like, totally cool! Just ''don't mention his nose''. :'''Velma''': Hey there, Cappy! What happened to the old sniffer? (''Shaggy groans'') :'''Skipper Shelton''': What ''happened''? I'll tell it for you! It was a clam that took it, fierce and mighty was he, and reduced me to wearing facial underwear he did! But I'll find him, and I won't stop shucking till I do. Understand? :'''Velma''': Yes sir, Captain Admiral, sir! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': You know, we're still close to the water. All kinds of fish in there. :'''Fred''': (''watching the volleyball game'') Yep, they're so beautiful! :'''Daphne''': The ''girls''? :'''Fred''': No, the nets! :'''Daphne''': The nets? :'''Fred''': I wonder what their tensile strength is? They're nylon, absolutely ''perfect'' for traps! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': We can't let that thing get away! :'''Shaggy''': Sure we can, Fred! All we have to do is stand right here! :'''Scooby''': Yeah, stand right here! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Wow, who are you trying to impress? :'''Daphne''': What, this old thing? I've had it forever. I just want to do a good job. Would you rub oil on my back? Fred likes shiny things, and I'm tired of him staring at nets. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': There's a book over here. Daphne read a book once. And that chair, Daphne liked to sit in chairs. And that card catalogue over there - :'''Velma''': Not helping, Fred. :'''Fred''': I know. What's wrong with me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Hey, Daphne? Let me ask you something. If you liked a boy - :'''Daphne''': ''Who'' told you? Was it one of my sisters? [ Daphne mad at Velma] Dawn! Ha! She thinks she's so perfect. Well, what no one knows is, she has a sixth toe on her - :'''Velma''': Um, what are you talking about? :'''Daphne''': I - clearly, not what you were talking about... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, we've got him! :'''Velma''': Good going! But how did you find your way out? :'''Scooby''': (''sniffing'') Clam cones. :'''Velma''': You were saved by junk food? :'''Shaggy''': Like, what can I say? Junk food and me have a very special relationship. :'''Velma''': Maybe I should ask it for advice. :'''Fred''': Speaking of clam cones, I see Skipper Shelton isn't around again. Or are you, Skipper? (''unmasks the Man Crab'') :'''Skipper''': (''arrives'') Ah, back from the Laundromat, I am. And once more does me nose-hammock smell fresh as the morning tide. :'''Daphne''': Wait, if you're not the Man Crab, then who...? :'''Velma''': Everyone, meet Bud Shelton. (''grabs Bud's head out of Man Crab disguise'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne''': Who? :'''Velma''': The Trickell's Triquid mascot. :'''Bud''': And the inventor, not that dirtball, Trickell. :'''Shaggy''': Like, how did you know, Velma? :'''Velma''': I knew it wasn't a real crab because Daphne never got allergic when she was around it. Plus, when I saw the mole pattern on the cheek of man next to Trickell in the newspaper, I remembered the same pattern on the mascot. :'''Bud''': He took the credit for my creation. It was supposed to be called Bud's Bloosh. I was still working on the name. I spent countless hours making the Man Crab costume and even more time building my system of trap doors and stairs under the beach. And in case anyone came snooping in between kidnappings, I hid my costume in a locker big enough to hold it, putting a label with Skipper's name on it over the real label. So if anyone found it, they'd blame him. :'''Daphne''': All that work just to get back at Mr. Trickell? Wouldn't it have been easier and-- more legal to sue him? :'''Bud''': Are you kidding? Lawyers take forever. I would have succeeded, too, if it weren't for you meddling brats probing into my crustacean-themed revenge scheme. :'''Skipper''': Well, "almost" doesn't shuck the clam, (''to Scooby'') does it, wolfie? :(''Skipper and Scooby laugh'') :'''Scooby''': I have no idea what you're talking about. ===The Song of Mystery=== :'''Velma''': Shaggy, you promised me you weren't going to use the word 'like' so much. It makes you sound ignorant. :'''Shaggy''': Oh, right. Like, um, I forgot. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': They can't just leave all the kids! :'''Sheriff Stone:''' They'll be fine. We'll air drop in some freeze dried camp food. Just because they're 'spookified' doesn't mean they can't reconstitute macaroni! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Here, pick out a new pair of pants. :'''Shaggy''': What's wrong with my pants? :'''Velma''': You promised me you were going to start caring more about your appearance. :'''Shaggy''': But I like those pants. :'''Velma''': You've worn them since the eight grade. :'''Shaggy''': They're comfortable pants :'''Velma''': Fine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mrs. Dinkley''': (''giving tour'') This is the location of the most recent attack by the creature that's been spookifying the children of Crystal Cove. (''notices the gang'') Velma, sweetheart, how are you? (''yelling'') Sheriff, they're back! :'''Velma''': ''Mom'', please! We just wanted to see what was happening! :'''Mrs. Dinkley''': There's nothing to see. Not unless you're paying. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Portillo''': The peoples have long told the tale of Qué Horrífico. A normal man by day, but every sundown he changes into Qué Horrífico. He roams through the villages and plays his song of mystery on a pan flute, turning the childrens into... ''Terriblegatos''! :'''Fred''': In America, we call it 'getting spookified'. :'''Dr. Portillo''': That is good enough, thank you. Eventually, he takes them to his spooky town, or cave or something. There's a lot of debate on that, who can really know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': Fred Jones, Jr. You were supposed to meet me in the library for your civics tutoring. :'''Fred''': Mary Anne, I can't. I have something important I need to do. :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': What could possibly be more important than ''civics''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Dr. Portillo''': Oh no! I think - I think [the transformation] is happening! Oh no! It's happening! It's happening! AHHH! Here it comes! Oh, I so scared! I so scared! Here it comes! Oh - No, it's just gas. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': This is nice. :'''Fred''': Watch it, Daphne! Remember, we're married; don't look so happy! :'''Velma''': It's almost sunset. We'd better get inside. :'''Fred''': Right. (''loudly'') Come, two young children, it's bedtime! Grandma's gonna tell you a story! :'''Shaggy''': Oh goodie! :'''Fred''': Quick, get inside. :(''Inside, ready for trap'') :'''Scooby''': Aren't you going to tell us a story? :'''Velma''': Yes, The End. Now shh. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Mayor Jones and Sheriff Stone arrive'') :'''Mayor Jones''': What in the name of whole wheat toast is going on? :'''Fred''': We got him, dad. :(''Scooby unmasks Qué Horrífico'') :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': You mean her. :'''Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy''': Mary Anne Gleardan. :'''Mayor Jones''': Your tutor? But why? :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': I was trying to scare all the adults out of Crystal Cove so I could run the city my way. (''hocking'') (''to Fred'') I told you, I have brilliant ideas. (''to everyone'') With all the adults gone, there's be no one to stand in my way. I learned about the legend of Qué Horrífico in Dr. Portillo's honors class. It was the perfect solution. I used the high school's theater department for my costume. I went to every kindergarten and elementary school in the city to convince the children to pretend to be spookified. In return I offered them Utopia! When that didn't work, I offered them candy. Whenever the children heard me playing the pan flute, that was their signal to put on their fake hair and fangs and commence spookification. I almost had the whole town cleared of adults. I would have, too, if it weren't for you (''speaks latin'') :'''Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby''': Huh? :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': (''sighs'') Loosely translated it means "Meddlesome kids" in latin. :'''Arthur''': I'm going home. I miss my mom and dad. (''The other kids say goodbyes and walk into their homes'') By the way, this was lame. (''Sheriff Stone handcuffs Mary Anne'') :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': [[Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit|Wait, you're taking me to jail?! But I'm just a kid!]] :'''Sheriff Stone''': Do you know how many boxes we're stuck with of Qué Horrífico t-shirts, Qué Horrífico pamphlets, Qué Horrífico dance CDs, Qué Horrífico--? :'''Mary Anne Gleardan''': Okay, okay. I see your point. ===The Legend of Alice May=== :'''Daphne''': I'm telling you, she's up to something! :'''Fred''': C'mon, Daphne. So, Alice was using the shower and hanging out in the school basement late at night. Haven't we all? :'''Daphne''': What if Alice is the ghost girl the Sheriff mentioned? You could be in danger, Fred. :'''Fred''': Don't you think I'd know if she were a ghost girl? :'''Velma''': I'd be willing to bet... no. :'''Scooby''': Yeah, me too. :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, like, what do we really know about Alice? :'''Fred''': You mean, besides the fact that she's super nice, and her hair smells like peaches, and sometimes I get lost in her eyes, and - :'''Daphne''': Fred Jones, do you like this girl? :'''Fred''': (''points at his "watch"'') Wow, look at the time. :'''Daphne''': You're not wearing a watch, Freddie. :'''Fred''': Oh. Well, I'd better go find one, then! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel''': Looks like your ghost girl's building herself... a ''man posse''. :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! Like, what if Fred's her latest possum? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Delilah''': Hey, baby sis. Something got you down. :'''Daphne''': Hey, Delilah. It's okay, I'm fine. :'''Delilah''': No, no, I can tell. Same way I can tell when I look in the eyes of the enemy and see their cold, grey heart and know it's either me, or them. :'''Daphne''': Uh, okay... :'''Delilah''': Ah, boy trouble. I've been Fear's bunkmate before. Let me tell you a story. There was a beach. Enemy dug in along the shore. They picked us off one by one but I knew I had to get my men through, ''understand''? :'''Daphne''': No. :'''Delilah''': All right, here's another story - :'''Daphne''': Delilah, really, don't worry. I'm gonna figure this out. :'''Delilah''': I hear you. Call if you need me. ''Whoo-aahh''! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, wow! I didn't know this year's prom theme was terror and pandemonium! :'''Velma''': What's going on? :'''Ethan''': Somebody's ''mom'' is trying to kill Fred. :'''Gary''': Yeah, thanks, ''Mystery Geeks'', for wrecking our prom. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ghost Girl''': Don't touch me! :'''Mayor Jones''': (''arrives with Sheriff Stone'') Hazy fantasie, Fred. Didn't you hear me when I said, "if you see a ghost girl, do not go to the prom with her".? :'''Fred''': Don't worry, dad. She may look like a ghost girl, but in reality she's... (''unmasks the ghost girl'') Alice May. Or she's also known as... :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Alice Carlswell. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Carlswell? As in Deacon Carlswell? The Creeper? :'''Alice''': That is right. He was my father. When daddy was in prisoned, I vowed revenge on those who put him there. I used his old costume to construct my own. When I found the legend of the evil ghost girl online, I was ready to spring my trap. I grabbed that fool Randy to throw you all off the track. And I kept him hidden and fed in my father's crypt until I could let him go. After that, it was just a matter of getting rid of your precious leader, and Fred. I'm going to zap your gang the way ''you'' feeded my father. And I would have succeeded, too, if it weren't for you meddling... ''schoolmates''... of mine. ===In Fear of the Phantom=== :'''Fred''': Perfect! Daphne's our phantom bait. :'''Daphne''': Oh, this is so exciting - wait. ''Bait''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': All right, now let me get this straight; these T-shirts are fifty dollars each, this is cotton, right? The kind that comes from cows? :'''Velma''': Sheriff, you need to focus. The phantom has already taken Daphne! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Right. Where's Daphne? :'''Shaggy, Velma, Scooby, and The Hex Girls''': The phantom took her away! :'''Sheriff Stone''': All right, now we're getting somewhere! And by the way, what's wrong with the Jones kid? He's acting a little... ''squirrely''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Daphne. ''Now''. I need to talk to her. :'''Daphne''': (''dressed as crush'') Daphne's gone. Call me Crush. :'''Fred''': Darn it, lady, I'm serious! Where is she? :'''Daphne''': Urgh, Fred. It's me, okay? :'''Fred''': Uh... oh. I need to tell you something and I need you to listen. I'm not a guy anymore. :'''Daphne''': What? :'''Fred''': I have feelings! I care! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Harry''': If you had a lizard face, I'd still love you, Scooby. :'''Scooby''': And I'd love you, Harry. More Sandwich? :'''Shaggy''': Like, okay, you know what? Enough! You can't replace me with a ''dummy''! :'''Scooby''': Do you hear something, Harry? :'''Shaggy''': Like, there ''is'' no Harry. Harry is you, and like, dude, I am your best friend! :'''Harry''': Um, no, I don't think so. :'''Shaggy''': Why don't you just stay out of it, Harry? And, like, stop watching Vincent van Ghoul movies. That's mine and Scooby Doo's thing! :'''Harry''': ''Really''? Cause Scooby Doo thought you cared more about girls and going to proms! (''Shaggy begins to wrestle with 'Harry' before realizing that Harry's a puppet'') :'''Shaggy''': Wait, wha - what am I ''doing''? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': (''arrives with Sheriff Stone'') Bug-eyed biscuits, Fred. Couldn't you have waited until after the show to catch the phantom? :'''Fred''': Sorry, dad. Not with Daphne in danger. (''unmasks the phantom'') :'''Everyone''': Daniel Frizette? :'''Shaggy''': Or, like, should we call you Fantzee Pantz? :'''Hex Girls''': Fantzee Pantz? :'''Gus''': Doth my eye shadow deceive? How did you know? :'''Fred''': The villain had to be someone close to the Hex Girls to access the stage. :'''Shaggy''': And the Hex Girls' equipment. :'''Scooby''': And their bus. :'''Velma''': Someone with a grudge against the Hex Girls. :'''Daniel''': The Hex Girls took my career. I tried to get revenge by writing bad songs for them, but they can make anything a hit. So, I became the phantom. And I'd do it again if it weren't for the uncanny boy band knowledge of you meddling brats! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Let's go. ===The Grasp of the Gnome=== :'''Sheriff Stone''': No admittance. This is a quarantined area. Besides, the movie's already started. :'''Scooby''': You're showing ''them'' a movie? :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, aren't they, like, frozen with gnomey magic? :'''Sheriff Stone''': I already saw the movie. Believe me, magically frozen is the perfect viewing state to be in. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Now let's see who you really are. (''unmasks the Gnome'') :'''Daphne, Velma and Scooby''': (''gasp'') The Court Fool? Uh-Oh. :'''Amanda Littlefoot''': That's my husband, Gill Littlefoot! What did you think you were doing, fool? (''hits Gill with her staff'') :'''Gill''': What I've wanted to do for years: Frame you for the gnome attacks. And once you were out of the way, take your fortune for my own. (''Amanda hits him again'') Ow! Will you stop that? :'''Velma''': But you're too tall. How could you ever be the gnome? :'''Gill''': There's a reason our family name is ''Littlefoot''. (''takes off the gnome disguise to reveal his real size'') (''Everyone gasp'') I planned this over a year. And while I've always hid my tiny legs, this finally provided me a way to make them useful. Since Amanda's dislike of pirates was well known, I planted her earring on a victim, hoping to throw suspicion her way. I used my toxin-coated gloves to paralyze all the pirates, but you would not ''quit''. The beautiful part is that because of my-- :'''Sheriff Stone''': I believe the medical term is ''baby legs''. :'''Gill''': No one would have ever suspected me. That is, until you, meddling, gnome-hating, pirate-loving-- :'''Sheriff Stone''': Yeah, yeah, Shrimpo, we got the picture. :'''Amanda Littlefoot''': (''annoyed'') All these years, you've looked down on me. Now it turns out I'm actually taller than you. (''hits Gill again with her staff'') :'''Gill''': Ow! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Let's go, little footy. (''laughs'') :'''Mayor Jones''': Boy, I had big plans for him! Thanks for nothing-- again. :'''Fred''': Anytime, pop. ===Battle of The Humungonauts=== :'''Mayor Jones''': So they didn't show! I don't see why we couldn't just seize the ticket money as evidence. Prancing piccolos, Fred. One of your traps actually worked! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Greetings, big and hairy space travelers. As a representative of planet Earth, I welcome you. :'''Velma''': I'm afraid these two aren't space travelers, Sheriff. I'd like to introduce (''unmasks the Green Humungonaut'') Max Minner and (''unmasks the Red Humungonaut'') Jax Minner. :'''Sheriff Stone''': It's the Minner brothers? They've been taking care of all of Crystal Cove's insurance needs for years. :'''Mayor Jones''': But how did you know they'd both show up here? :'''Velma''': All I did was double insure the boat repair shop with a policy from both brothers. You see, each brother was only attacking the places the other brother insured. :'''Mayor Jones''': But why? :'''Max''': What do you think? Money. :'''Jax''': And the fact that we can't stand each other. :'''Max''': Oh, yeah. That, too. :'''Jax''': This intense dislike started back when we were circus strongmen. We had just come up with a great idea for our act: The Hercules apes... :'''Sheriff Stone''': Humongonauts is catchier. :'''Jax''': When this jerk decides to break up our act and join a rival circus. :'''Max''': Huh! You were just jealous. :'''Jax''': We became bitter enemies who, as chance would have it, both went into the insurance business here in Crystal Cove. :'''Max''': After that, we each focused on the same thing: Destroying each other's business. :'''Jax''': And it would have worked, too, if it weren't for... :'''Max and Jax''': My meddling brother! (''look each other'') What? ''Why, you...'' (''start fighting'') :'''Velma''': Mystery solved. ===Howl of The Fright Hound=== :'''Sheriff Stone''': What's going on? I heard what sounded like some sort of hideous, undying machine in here. :'''Daphne''': We've solved the mystery of the Fright Hound. :'''Fred''': And your culprit is... (''opens the hood of the mysterious person'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Jason's mom? :'''Jason's mother''': That's right, it was me all along. I saw how you treated my Jason at school. So naturally I did what any mother would do. I built a demonic robot dog to destroy you! I framed your little doggy friend to break you up, leaving Jason a clear shot at his true love. But when you showed up and blamed him of all things, I decided to GET RID OF YOU ALL! I gave up a career in military robotics to raise my son, not to watch him get triped on! :'''Jason''': Now Velma will never want to be my girlfriend. And she would have, too, if it weren't for my meddling mom! :'''Velma''': I'm sorry, Jason. I should have been clearer with you earlier. But you and me, it's just not gonna happen. But we can still be friends. :'''Jason''': Really? :'''Velma''': Yeah. You took that very well. :'''Jason''': And you touched my knuckle again. Ha ha! (''kisses his fingers'') ===The Secret Serum=== :'''Vampire''': Aaahh! Let me go! I'll drain you all! :'''Daphne''': Mom! Your vampiring is tearing this family apart! I'm sorry, but you've left me no choice. I'm going to have to stake you. :'''Vampire''': Wait! I'm not a vampire! I'm-- (''unmasks herself'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Sheila Altoonian. :'''Daphne''': But why? :'''Sheila''': Isn't it obvious? My looks are starting to fade. :'''Shaggy''': No. You're gorgeous. :'''Fred''': No. Your skin is as tight as my ascot. :'''Sheila''': This is all your mother's fault. We're the same age, but she's so beautiful. She has the skin of a teenager. That's when I realized she must be a vampire. I went to the Dinkley Shop to do a little research and found the recipe for the youth juice. That potion was gonna make me young and beautiful ''forever''. You see, in college I majored in zoology and acrobatics, studying the habits of flying squirrels. I propelled myself into the air with my quad and glute muscles. All this gave me the illusion of a real flying Vampire. :'''Daphne''': Why didn't you just try maybe wearing a little less makeup? Or a cuter haircut? Or use tape to pull back all your wrinkly sacks of. (''grabs her cheeks with hands'') You know, age gracefully. :'''Sheila''': Age gracefully? Are you crazy? No, the Vampire serum was my only hope. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling-- :'''Nan Blake''': What's going on here? :'''Daphne''': Mom! :'''Sheila''': Even now, she's stealing my moment. :'''Daphne''': I'm so glad you're not an undead creature of darkness. :'''Nan Blake''': Thanks, honey. :'''Daphne''': But what are you doing here? Why have you been sneaking out? :'''Nan Blake''': I didn't want to say anything, but I've been taking night classes. I'm getting my public notary degree! :'''Velma''': Oh, how exciting. :'''Shaggy''': What an opportunity. :'''Nan Blake''': You know, I may be outrageously gorgeous, but knowledge, knowledge is the key to true beauty. Well, I better get going. I have to figure out what a notary is before tomorrow's final exam. (''laughs'') ===The Shrieking Madness=== :'''Shaggy''': Like, you don't hear many monsters from other dimensions scream for help. :(''Fred ties the Char Gar Gothakon's mouth with ascot'') :'''Velma''': This is no monster. (''unmasks Char Gar Gothakon'') It's Howard E. Roberts, Hatecraft's student assistant and biggest fan. Just as I suspected. :'''Shaggy''': Suspected how? :'''Velma''': Think about it. We found a book written by Hatecraft, with sentences underlined that smelled like Char Gar Gothakon. :'''Howard''': Of course it was me. Someone had to defend the Professor against his critics. And what better way than to dress as his greatest creation? Fortunately, I'd taken a class in the military application of sonic shriek technology at the learning annex. Although, in retrospect, it might not have been a good idea to glue real octopus legs to my face. :'''Everyone''': Ah, so that was the smell! :'''Velma''': But when Hatecraft admitted he made it up? :'''Howard''': That's when he had to fall. And he would have, too, if it weren't for the dark elder forces conspiring in the inky black of time most foul! Oh. And you meddling kids. <hr width="50%"/> :(''The police takes Howard into custody'') :'''Harlan Ellison''': H.P., are you all right? :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Harlan. Yes. Just an overeager fan who got carried away. :'''Harlan Ellison''': Fans. Imbeciles fit only to be gnawed by rabid rats. :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Yes. Someone could write a book. :'''Harlan Ellison''': How about, "A boy and his fans", by Harlan Ellison and H.P. Hatecraft? :'''Professor Hatecraft''': I was thinking something more along the lines of, "Shavu-ra hatafar, the fan that had no name". :'''Harlan Ellison''': Except, uh, you just named it. :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Don't start with me, Ellison. ===When the Cicada Calls=== Kelsepian: Honey? What's wrong with your voice it's so deep. Wait a minute is this not again? :'''Shaggy''': Like, I don't think it's Dr. Yantz! :'''Velma''': Really? You think? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Now, get him! :(''Scooby grabs the Cicada Creature's hat'') :'''Everyone''': Grandma Moonbeam? :(''Sheriff Stone, Mayor Jones and the photographer arrive'') :'''Mayor Jones''': Did we miss it? Where are the bugs? :'''Fred''': You're the Cicada Creature? But why? :'''Grandma Moonbeam''': Isn't it obvious? I wanted to shut down Destroido. I found out they added a secret ingredient to make nature slivers more tasty: Landfill waste! I demanded that they return to my original healthy recipe, but they refused, and because they owned it, there was nothing I could DO. I vowed to get even. I saw a Norwegian documentary about a researcher using sound waves to control penguins' movements. I decided to adapt the idea for my revenge. Since I didn't have any penguins, I used cicadas. And I would have succeeded, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling young people. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Well, now, it's the big house for you, grandma. Let's go. :'''Mayor Jones''': (''sighs'') Why can't anything in this town ever turn out to be real? :'''Fred''': Glad we could help, dad. :'''Velma''': Well, another mystery successfully solved. ===Mystery Solvers Club State Finals=== :'''Taffy-Dare''': I was born in 1994 when I was a kid in 1997. :'''Velma''': Look at that. For the time ever, the sidekicks have solved the mystery. :'''Scooby''': Now, let's see exactly who Lord Infernicus is. (''unmasks the Lord Infernicus'') :'''Everyone''': The Funky Phantom?! :'''Mudsy''': That's me, don't you know. :'''Scooby''': But why? :'''Mudsy''': I was sick of being a sidekick. Resentful, even. I'm not a real ghost. I'm Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore, actor, thespian, dramatator. I was behind in my rent at the Y, so a friend told me about this clock I could squat in. When they found me and thought I was a ghost, I figured why not. Ghost gig got me 3 hots and a cot, but I got tired of taking a back seat, don't you know. I wanted to headline. I wanted to be the boss. In charge, even. With my own sidekicks. That's when I stumbled upon the mystery solvers state finals. I had workshopped my Lord Infernicus character at various comedy clubs and state fairs around the country. And it has always been a hit. It was a simple matter to use mirrors and a video projector to make myself appear and fly. A little smoke, fireworks, a skeleton puppet identical to my own bone structure for close-up work, a pre-recorded voice, and the deed was done. I even abducted my own cat Boo. The plan was to ship everyone off to Africa, where there is a desperate need for teenage mystery solvers. I then created the ruse with the Guinea pigs; sewing each of their tiny costumes by hand, using the actual vintage fabrics of their real life counterparts just to throw you off track. It was perfect. Genius, even. Until your ridiculous dog started acting like a HERO instead of a SIDEKICK. :'''Scooby''': (''annoyed'') Ohhh. :'''Boo the Cat''': You lied to me. Meow! (''attacks Mudsy'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, Scoob, looks like you and your pals are the heroes of this mystery. Let's hear it for the sidekicks. Hip hip-- :'''Everyone''': Hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! ===The Wild Brood=== :'''Biker Dude''': Hey, little muffin, how 'bout you and me go for a moonlight ride? :'''Girl''': No thanks, I'm allergic to the stink of desperation. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Random Spanker Gang Member''': Let's go spank somewhere else! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Oh, Freddie, this is such a romantic setting for our second date. :'''Fred''': If you say so. All I know is, since my dad owns the place, we get free refills. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': Hold it right there, leather-wearing creepy. First section seven forty-one dot B of the Chrystal Cove bylaws; there are no monsters or monster-like creatures allowed in public areas. :'''Mayor Jones''': Unless tickets are being sold. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Wow, that was very... POETICAL. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Member of The Wild Brood''': Velma, do you believe in love at first sight? :'''Velma''': In your case... no. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Did you break into the armory and steal a rocket launcher? :'''Orc''': No. :'''Daphne''': (''to Fred'') See, I told you, let's go. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orc''': My gratitude is yours, fair Daph. :'''Fred''': FAIR DAPH?! Listen here, TUSKY, only I get to call her Daph, and I say no fair! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orc''': Crazy driving there, Frederick. :'''Fred''': Thanks. And it's Fred. Unless we're dating, and then it's Freddie. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Okay. Let's see who was trying to give the Wild Brood a bad name. :(''The Orc unmasks the Impostor Orc'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Another geek? :'''The Orcs''': Maxwell? :'''Shaggy''': Like, who's Maxwell? :'''Odnarb''': He works in the copy room at our gaming company. Maxwell, why? :'''Maxwell''': Why? I'll tell you why. You all thought you were so cool. You never let me join in the beta testing of any of your new video games. No, I was just the lowly copy boy. So I sought my revenge. I made a Wild Brood costume of my own. From that point on, all I had to do was steal a rocket launcher, grab someone to hack the computer to divert the train, reroute said train, board the train from a moving motorcycle, defeat the train's security system, blow up the bridge the train was on, which would cause the Swordfish console to be destroyed in a massive train wreck, ruining your careers and hopefully giving rise to my own in the process. Simple! :'''Shaggy''': Dude. Seriously? :'''Maxwell''': Overkill, huh? Well, it might have worked, if it wasn't for you meddling kids. Am I right? :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Uh, no. :'''Velma''': Don't think so. :'''Shaggy''': Not really. :(''Maxwell feels sorry'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''puts the Orc mask on Maxwell's face'') And keep that mask on. You geeks freak me out without them. (''drives away with Maxwell arrested'') :'''Velma''': Don't be so hard on yourself. You tried to do a very brave thing. :'''Fred''': No, Odnarb was the brave one. He saved us all. Go ahead. Hang with him, Daph. :'''Odnarb''': We've got to get back to our render farm. But I was thinking... maybe one last ride? I'll let you hold onto my jacket. It's genuine elf thigh. :'''Daphne''': Oh. No thanks, Od. You're awesome with all your deep thoughts and poetical nobility and stuff. But my heart has always been with Freddie. (''kisses Fred on the cheek'') :'''Fred''': Yes! In your face, Odnarb, or whoever you are. She digs me. She digs me! SHE DIGS ME! ===Where Aphrodite Walks=== :'''Soccer Player''': Fred missed another match. What he'd get, TRAPPED? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aphrodite''': Run down that mangy mongrel! Run him down with the LOVE! Now! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Professor Pericles''': The antidote to stop Aphrodite has several distinct components: Pewter, found in grout used only in stained glass windows of the eighteenth century. Ectoplasm, or as it's more commonly known, ghost mucus. And finally, rose quartz, mined in the caves beneath Crystal Cove. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': Silver plated seesaws, Fred, you're not in the love anymore? Then, I'm going to have to let out an unearthly howl and destroy you. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Look, about what happened - :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, uh, about that... :'''Velma''': We don't have to - :'''Shaggy''': No, no way. :'''Velma''': In fact, I'd prefer - :'''Shaggy''': Absolutely. My thoughts exactly. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': We've got a great look for everyone! :'''Shaggy''': Does mine involve wearing a skirt and lipstick? :'''Daphne''': No... :'''Shaggy''': Awesome! :'''Daphne:''': But Scooby's does! :'''Scooby:''' It's not fair! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aphrodite''': I am the goddess of love! Bow at the feet of Aphrodite! :'''Velma''': I think you mean Amanda. (''unmasks Aphrodite'') Amanda Smythe? :'''Amanda Smythe''': Oh, you think you're so smart. Do you know how it feels to be humiliated? Me, the smartest and most gifted student in the history of Crystal Cove, laughed at by everyone in this school. :'''Velma''': Well, actually... :'''Amanda Smythe''': You know nothing! They had promised me I would be prom queen, but instead they pulled a hideous mask over my face: The face of a monster. They ridiculed me. I left Crystal Cove that night, but I promised that someday I would return. I had always been good at chemistry, so when I stumbled on the formula for an artificial pheromone that could make people lose their minds with love, I knew I would have my revenge. :'''Daphne''': Why? You're pretty now. :'''Amanda Smythe''': The scars run deep. I would reclaim the crown that was rightly mine, then I would destroy this town the way it destroyed me. My plan was genius! And I would have succeeded, too, if it wasn't for your olfactory-challenged sidekicks. (''The deputies arrest Amanda'') :'''Pericles''': I am no one's sidekick. :'''Scooby''': You said it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Well, Scooby Doo, like, you saved the day. :'''Scooby''': And Pericles, too. :'''Daphne''': I guess even a diabolical and criminal bird can change his evil in malevolent ways. :'''Ed''': (''appears'') Highly doubtful. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': (''nervously'') Who--who are you? :'''Ed''': I am an associate of Mr. E. Pericles left him a message that you should hear. (''plays the recorded tape'') :'''Pericles''': ''It was I who gave Aphrodite the secret formula. Once that was accomplished, I could go after the real ingredients I needed to find. First, an ancient conquistador's ship manifest. Next, a stone piercing industrial-grade diamond drill bit. And finally, the geological reports from the Darrow Mining Company. Your move, Mr. E.'' (''The tape ends'') :'''Shaggy''': Okay, can I get a teeny little time-out here? What does any of that stuff have to do with anything? :'''Ed''': The curse of the haunted treasure, an ancient fortune left behind by the conquistadors that first settled this area. Legend has it that it is buried somewhere deep beneath us, and it now appears that Pericles is on the verge of discovering it. (''Everyone gasp'') And if he does, it could well mean the end of Crystal Cove. (''walks away'') ===Escape from Mystery Manor=== :'''Fred''': Way to go, gang. Who's been served now, huh? :'''Danny''': I won't deny it, you are a worthy opponent. :'''Fred''': Gee, thanks. You're not bad yourself. :'''Danny''': Was that a gage burrow strategy you used back there? :'''Fred''': You recognized it? You know, I thought at first I'd go with the Orpheus proposition, but I didn't have any milk. :'''Velma''': (''interrupts Fred'') Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt, but what's the big idea trying to kill us? And what's with this thing? :'''Danny''': My treasure! I thought you had returned to steal it. :'''Daphne''': Returned? I think you have us confused with the original Mystery Inc. :'''Danny''': Say, now that you mention it, you don't look anything like I remember you. Especially that parrot over there. :'''Scooby''': Thank you. :'''Danny''': I've made a terrible, terrible mistake. What has become of me? I suppose it started that Halloween night. My family came upon a mysterious artifact, a key to finding the great cursed treasure rumored to lie beneath Crystal Cove. It corrupted us with greed. I had just gotten my hands on it when the earth shook and swallowed our entire house. My loved ones grew old and passed all around me, but I hardly even noticed. Then, those meddling kids showed up. They were after my treasure. I knew it! So I spied on them. And I booby-trapped the whole house in ways that would prey upon their weaknesses. Eh, but they left. :'''Daphne''': So you've been waiting for them to come back all this time? :'''Danny''': Truth be told, I kind of lost track. Has it really been that long? How do I look? Haven't let myself go, have I? :'''Fred''': Uh, no. :'''Scooby''': You look fine. :'''Daphne''': I love what you've done with your hair. :'''Danny''': My whole life has been a waste. (''sits in the chair, dodges the booby-trap arrow launched by crossbow and laughs'') That's one of my earlier models. :(''The Mansion begins rumbling and collapsing'') :'''Shaggy''': What's going on? :'''Danny''': All those traps going off must have awaken the area's fault line. (''falls on the floor broken in half'') :'''Fred''': Quick, grab my hand! :'''Danny''': Don't worry about me! (''The gang watches the ceiling breaking outside'') Now's your chance for escape. :'''Velma''': But your treasure? :'''Danny''': (''last words'') Keep it! And may it bring you more happiness than it ever brought me. (''The ceiling is still breaking, the light shines outside'') Now, through that crevice before it's too late! :(''The gang escapes the Mansion collapsed leaving Danny Darrow alone'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': After all that, he saved us. :'''Velma''': Or did we save him? :'''Shaggy''': Yeah. Like, he did say this wedge was... :'''Scooby''': Cursed. :'''Fred''': Whatever it is, it's our responsibility now. The question is, are there other pieces out there? And if there are, who else is looking for them? :(''Mayor Jones watches the gang from the car window and drives away'') ===The Dragon's Secret=== :'''Fred''': Ta-da! The Brownberger B-41. It's the trapper's trap. :'''Mayor Jones''': (''arrives'') Spicy giblet ponies, Fred! Why do you have a geisha tied up in here? You know they belong downtown in Crystal Cove's geisha house of terror. :'''Fred''': He's not a geisha, dad. He's a wizard. Or at least that's who he's pretending to be... :(''Velma unmasks White Wizard'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Mr. Wang? :'''Scooby''': Big surprise. :'''Mayor Jones''': What?! Wang?! Why?! :'''Mr. Wang''': I've searched for the dragon's heart all my life. I tracked it to your silly little town, and it was almost mine. Mine! :'''Mai Le''': You won't be needing these anymore. (''takes the 4 rings off of Mr. Wang'') :'''Daphne''': Now it all makes sense. Mr. Wang used his supposed research trip to Crystal Cove as an excuse to hunt for the dragon's heart. When he saw that Mai Le was wearing the fourth dragon ring, he knew he was close. Mr. Wang posed as the evil White Kung Fu Wizard to steal the fourth dragon ring from Mai Le, but Chen pretended to be a Red Wizard in an effort to stop him. :'''Velma''': After the wizard battle downtown, Mr. Wang came to my house in one last effort to get the ring. :'''Shaggy''': But how did he make himself fly? :'''Chen''': Oh, the same way I did, (''takes the White Wizard costume off of Mr. Wang'') jetpack. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Fred''': Oh! Of course. :'''Daphne''': And the magic lightning bolts? :'''Velma''': (''shows Mr. Wang's hand'') Homemade Tesla coils. Genius! :'''Mr. Wang''': It was the perfect plan. That ruby is priceless. I was going to be rich! And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you-- :'''Fred''': (''masks Mr. Wang with the White Wizard's head'') Save it, Wang. We've heard it all before. :(''Scooby laughs'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Inside the ship, Mai Le keeps the ruby in secret'') :'''Mai Le''': Finally mine. So long, Mystery Incorporated. :(''The ship turns hard left, Mai Le accidentally drops the ruby, Shaggy arrives and catches it'') :'''Shaggy''': Hello, dude. Or should I say... Mai Le? I went to the airport to see you off, but you weren't on the plane. It was always about the ruby, wasn't it? ''You'' just used us to get Wang out of the way so that you could get the other rings. :'''Mai Le''': That's right. While you and your idiot friends were explaining Wang's plan, I opened the jade dragon and took the ruby. The dragon's heart belongs to me! :'''Shaggy''': Fine. Come and get it. (''Mai Le destroys table with her strong fist'') Zoinks! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mai Le''': (''in a Fred's trap'') Let me down, you idiots! :'''Scooby''': You okay, Shaggy? :'''Shaggy''': Was everything about you a lie? Like, even us? :'''Mai Le''': Sorry, dude. :'''Velma''': He's too good for you, dog issues or no dog issues. :'''Mai Le''': I still don't know what that means. ===Nightfright=== :(''Daphne unmasks Nightfright'') :'''Daphne, Velma and Fred''': The production assistant? :'''Vincent van Ghoul''': No, it's not. It's Argus Fentonpoof, the writer of "Scream, Scream, Time For You to Die". :'''Argus''': I'm both. When you pulled out of the movie, they decided not to make it. I went bankrupt. I had to take a job as a production assistant. :'''Vincent van Ghoul''': But, why have you done this? :'''Argus''': Well, by scaring you and everyone watching on TV, I was going to prove that Nightfright deserved his own horror movie. Right before you started filming, I hid my Nightfright costume in a closet. I used the conduit to sneak in and put the costume on. I paid the other actors to pretend to be knocked out when I attacked. Of course, I couldn't let anyone know that I was Nightfright. I had to sneak out every now and then, and get everyone coffee. :'''Harry''': (''arrives'') Hold it right there. I'm Harry Shneste-Boysen, the executive producer of this show. I've been watching the whole thing from my jacuzzi. I'm blown away. (''to Vincent van Ghoul'') Not only is your reality show going to be a surefire hit, (''to Argus'') (''2 deputies handcuff Argus'') but I found your pathetic tale of lost dreams inspiring. It's gonna make a great movie. :'''Argus''': A movie, about me? Really? Heh. Gee! Uh, you know, none of this would have happened without you meddling kids. Thanks. :'''Sheriff''': [[VeggieTales|Alright, let's go.]] :'''Argus''': Bye, everyone! See you on the big screen in 10 to 20 years. :'''Vincent van Ghoul''': Well, all's well that ends well. ===The Siren's Song=== :'''Dr. Spike''': I would like to see who's been holding me captive all this time. (''unmasks the one Fish Freak'') :'''Daphne''': Ernesto? :'''Ernesto''': Hello, comrade Daphne and her fellow comrade mystery-solving teenagers. (''The other 3 Fish Freaks unmask themselves'') :'''Daphne''': But aren't you against all this anti-environment stuff? :'''Ernesto''': Funny you should ask. It all started when we were doing a little research into our old foe Destroido. We were going through their trash when we ran across some very interesting information: Dr. Cavanaugh's report on this giant oil deposit off Dead Man's Point. We came up with a plan to make enough money to fund our various protests. We were gonna drill for the oil ourselves and sell it. :'''Fred''': You were doing this for cash? :'''Ernesto''': You have no idea how expensive it is to be a grassroots activist! After we found the location of the oil platform, all we had to do was scare off anyone who started nosing into our business. And we would have, too, if that meddling mermaid had kept her fin to herself and never contacted you. :'''Velma''': Hold on. Are you telling us that you were going to cause a major environmental disaster in order to get the cash to protest against major environmental disasters? :'''Ernesto''': Yes! You must be willing to kill the environment to save it. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Uhh... no. I don't think that's right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Hey, you're not a mermaid! :'''Dr. Spike''': Allow me to introduce my lovely wife Amy Cavanaugh, ordinary human and professional Commercial jingle singer. :'''Fred''': That explains why your eerily beautiful singing voice made me want to put on deodorant! (''Velma is disappointed'') :'''Amy''': Velma... :'''Velma''': You lied to me. You acted like you were my friend, and I believed you. :'''Amy''': I'm sorry. I came up with the mermaid character out of desperation. I'd gone to the police to report that my husband had been kidnapped by Fish Freaks, but they just laughed at me, then asked for directions to the oil platform so they could add it as a stop to on the Crystal Cove Mystery Tour. I thought that if I could make it sound like one of your mysteries, you'd help me rescue my husband. And you did. :'''Velma''': How do you even know about us? :'''Amy''': I read your blog. I'm a fan. :'''Velma''': Does that mean you're going to stay in touch? :'''Amy''': If you'd like to me to. :'''Velma''': Well... whatever. It's your decision. But I wouldn't mind if you did. As far as helping, it's what we do. Our friend Angel also deserves a lot of credit. She knew about Destroido's involvement from some old newspaper articles. That's how we made the connection. :'''Amy''': Newspaper articles? That's strange. Destroido covered the whole thing up. The papers never even knew about it. :'''Velma''': Hmm. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In K-Ghoul, Angel Dynamite looks at the LP and Velma appears behind'') :'''Angel''': Lordy, Velma! Baby, you just about scared me out of my skin-tight leather foxy pants. What's with all the sneaking around? :'''Velma''': You tell me. :'''Angel''': What's that supposed to mean? :'''Velma''': For the short amount of time that you've been in Crystal Cove, you sure know a lot about this town's mystery history. :'''Angel''': Well, I'm just curious by nature. Remember the heebedy-jeebedies? :'''Velma''': Stop. One of my big problems, on a list that's long and distinguished, is that despite my skeptical nature, I trust people. I want to see the best in them. Unfortunately, they usually let me down. Things have been adding up for me, Angel. The help you gave us on this oil platform mystery, the diary you provided for the Mystery Manor case; stuff that you shouldn't know and shouldn't have had, no matter what the heebedy-jeebedy. :'''Angel''': What are you saying? :'''Velma''': I'm saying Angel Dynamite isn't your real name. I think your real name is Cassidy Williams, and you're one of the members of the original Mystery Incorporated that vanished in the caves beneath Crystal Cove. Tell me I'm wrong... friend. ===Menace of the Manticore=== :(''Angel Dynamite enters the Mr. E's lair'') :'''Angel''': The Mystery, Inc. kids have found a piece of the Planispheric Disk. :'''Mr. E''': So now, we know where 2 of the pieces are. Good work, Angel. :'''Angel''': Just remember, I'm working with you, not for you, E. I'm worried about those kids. :'''Mr. E''': Why? :'''Angel''': Pericles is loose, and that nutso parrot might go after the piece, which puts them in danger, and us, if the former members of our club get wind of it. :'''Mr. E''': Don't worry, little Angel. The other 2 won't move a muscle as long as Fred Jones is still alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Look at that! Are Manticores double-jointed? :'''Velma''': This is no Manticore, Daphne. This is... (''unmasks the Manticore'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne and Fred''': Hot Dog Water? :'''Velma''': Just as I suspected. It totally makes sense when you put the clues together. Someone with computer skills had to make that fake website, and Hot Dog Water has those skills. And remember, just before the Manticore attacked, I smelled something familiar. It was briny, greasy hot dog water. (''to Hot Dog Water'') But what I don't know is why Shaggy and Scooby had such high voices after you attacked them before, or why you'd want this amusement park to close so badly. :'''Hot Dog Water''': How could you know? Your intellect is so far inferior to mine. (''takes off the Manticore's outfit'') It all started on a boring Friday night when I didn't have a date. :'''Velma''': Hard to imagine. :'''Hot Dog Water''': I decided to run some experiments on the steel used to build the park's rides. I found that if you melted the steel down and combined it with chromium, stalagmite, and mercury phosphate, it created a kind of super helium. Shaggy and Scooby must have inhaled some helium gas from the Manticore's posterior relief hole. That's why their voices were so high. I figured if I could get the park to close, I could take all the steel, melt it down, and sell the super helium to the Australian zeppelin fleet. I'd have made a fortune and shown you up in the process, Velma. :(''Sheriff arrests Hot Dog Water'') :'''Daphne''': Another mystery solved. :'''Fred''': It still seems like something's missing. :(''The Fortune Telling Machine prints the fortune'') :'''Hot Dog Water''': (''reads'') "Meddling kids and their dog will foil your plan". :'''Fred''': Yep. That would be it. :(''Sheriff drives away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angel''': I know who has the Planispheric Disk piece, but not where. :'''Mr. E''': Speak. :'''Angel''': I put a bug on Velma when I saw her earlier. She didn't suspect a thing. Later, I heard Fred tell her that Shaggy and Scooby have the piece. But he didn't say anything more than that. :'''Mr. E''': He told Velma and us enough. Everything will work out just fine. You see, Scooby is a far more trusting companion than Pericles was to me. ===Attack of the Headless Horror=== :(''Sheriff Stone arrives with Cachinga in the police car'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': What in the name of kettle corn is going on? I thought you said he (Cachinga) was the creature. :'''Daphne''': Sorry we had to trick you, Sheriff, but we needed everyone to believe it was Cachinga (''Fred deactivates the trap'') so we could set a trap for the person who's really behind this. :(''Fred unmasks the Headless Horror'') :'''Headless Horror/Marion''': (''gasps'') :'''Rick Spartan''': Marion! :'''Sheriff Stone''': But how did you know that she'd attack? I don't get that! :'''Fred''': We knew that if Dr. Spartan found out that the curse was fake he'd want to go back to living a life of adventure in the jungle. :'''Velma''': A life she definitely didn't want. :'''Marion''': (''annoyed'') Fine. I admit it. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Well, you kind of have to. We caught you in the costume. But how--how did you know it was her? :'''Fred''': We found this ring at the botanical gardens. A woman's ring. (''to Marion'') You went to Oxford, too, didn't you? :'''Marion''': Yes. (''puts the ring on her finger'') :'''Rick Spartan''': But, Marion, why did you do it? :'''Marion''': Because I love you! Because I hate living in the jungle. It's icky. I decided if I couldn't convince you to give up that life, I'd scare you out of it. I came up with the fake legend of Sklar Gringat. I forged an ancient map to the ruins and put it someplace you'd find it. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the challenge. You would be so consumed with finding your next great treasure, you wouldn't be thinking of me, as usual. I pretended to break my ankle because I knew you'd send Cachinga for help and go up into the ruins by yourself. And when you did, my plan fell into place. It gave me a chance to sneak around the back of the ruins, which were actually an old abandoned movie set. The Headless Horror costume was the final piece of the puzzle. I had it specially designed and took months of pilates to train my abdominal muscles to the point where I could control the mouth with my abs. :'''Rick Spartan''': But the shrunken head... It talked to me. :'''Marion''': I got it at a Halloween store. You can record whatever you want it to say. I'm sorry, darling. I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted us to live a normal life. Which we could have if it weren't for those meddling sycophants. Can you ever forgive me? :'''Rick Spartan''': Sure, I do, baby. I know I'm not the easiest guy to live with. You were just trying to get through to me. Don't worry, we'll work it out. (''He and Marion kiss'') Sheriff, I don't want to press any charges. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Yeah, I, uh, figured. :'''Rick Spartan''': Take me back to my room? :'''Marion''': Anything. :'''Rick Spartan''': Cachinga, come. :'''Cachinga''': (''leaves the police car with the spear'') Thank you. It's been lovely. ===A Haunting in Crystal Cove=== :'''Shadowy Figure''': Oof. Eahhh! Wood gets older than kindle! :'''Scooby''': Nice to see you again... (''unmasks the Shadowy Figure'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Professor Pericles. :'''Pericles''': Well, hello, children. How did you know? :'''Velma''': Simple. There's only one brain large enough, beside my own, that could have pulled this off. We found the trojan horse program you put on Fred's laptop that let you control all of Fred's traps remotely. :'''Pericles''': Fred really should have come up with a more secure password than "trappin' guy". :'''Shaggy''': Once you had control of the traps, it was like totally simple to simulate a haunting and terrify the Mayor. :'''Velma''': And your avian attributes provided the means to make your spooky shadow creep float like a real ghost. :'''Daphne''': Too bad for you your avian diet gave you away. :'''Pericles''': Oh, what can I say? A bird's got to eat. :'''Fred''': It still doesn't explain where my dad is, and why you were haunting him. :'''Pericles''': Why do you think? I wanted his piece of the Planispheric Disk, of course. I knew he would have it close. I just didn't know where. So I decided to scare it out of him. :'''Fred''': (''looks at the mysterious piece'') Planispheric Disk? (''to Pericles'') But how did you know he had it in the first place? :'''Pericles''': Because, dear friend, he stole it from me a long time ago. (''the gang is confused'') Don't believe me? Ask him yourself. (''takes off the Shadowy Figure costume and pushes the remote control's button that changes the stairs to slide, Fred unhands the piece of the Planispheric Disk and the gang falls down to the basement'') (''takes the piece #1 of the Planispheric Disk'') I am the smartest criminal parrot in the world! You didn't think I have a back-up plan? (''laughs'') Until we meet again. ''Auf wiedersehen'', Mystery Incorporated. (''flies away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': Did you know we were standing on a trap? :'''Fred''': (''grabs Daphne'') Honestly, there's so many in this house, I've kinda lost track. :(''The gang hears a man trapped in a sheet'') :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! Another ghost! :'''Fred''': Dad! (''releases Daphne and uncovers the sheet'') You're okay! :'''Mayor Jones''': Dimpled puppet eggs, Fred! I am clearly not okay. Untie me. :'''Fred''': (''unties his dad'') Dad, the house wasn't haunted at all. It was Professor Pericles. :'''Mayor Jones''': Pericles? Are you sure? Did he get the--? :'''Daphne''': Planispheric Disk? Yeah. He said you stole it from him. :'''Mayor Jones''': That's... that's absurd! We confiscated it off him years ago, when we locked him up. I've felt it was best to keep it here, safe. That's why I went back in for it. :'''Velma''': Mayor Jones, why would Professor Pericles want that piece of the Disk so badly? :'''Mayor Jones''': Oof! Ha! Ha! How should I know? Are you kids trying to imply something? Because if you are-- :'''Fred''': No, no, dad. We're just all really happy you're okay. That's what's important, right, gang? This mystery is over. (''hugs Mayor Jones'') :'''Daphne''': I'm not sure this mystery is over at all. ===Dead Justice=== :'''Velma''': Time to reveal who Dead Justice really is. (''unmasks Dead Justice'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Deputy Bucky? :'''Sheriff Stone''': What? Bucky, you were like a father to me! :'''Bucky''': You're 20 years older than me! :'''Sheriff Stone''': There's no proof of that. Why'd you do it? :'''Velma''': Sheriff, I think we can explain. :'''Daphne''': Bucky was tired of being just a deputy. He craved the power and prestige of the Sheriff's office. :'''Fred''': Bucky failed every one of his promotion exams. But it wasn't just his grades that got me thinking. :'''Shaggy''': Like, Bucky's a doodler, and his drawings looked an awful lot like Dead Justice's demon bullets. :'''Velma''': Bucky disguised himself as the Ghost of Dead Justice and chased down the town's most wanted. :'''Daphne''': He knew nothing would hurt Sheriff Stone more than losing his job to his hero. :'''Fred''': The only thing I don't understand is how he created those bullets. :'''Bucky''': CGI. It's all CGI these days. I programmed a laser pointer to simulate the animation. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Much as I hate to admit it, I owe you kids one. (''Fred puts his hand on Sheriff's shoulder but he lets it go'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Jones''': (''gives an award to Sheriff Stone'') People of Crystal Cove, there's a new old new Sheriff in town. :(''The crowd cheers and applauds'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': Thanks, Mayor Jones. And... Thanks for giving me a raise. :'''Mayor Jones''': Raise? What raise? An hour ago, your job was free. Don't think I won't find another undead lawman if I have to. :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''laughs'') You're joking, right? :'''Fred''': You know, dad, Bucky would have gotten away with it if it hadn't have been for us meddling kids. Maybe a little thank you might be, uh... :'''Mayor Jones''': Uh, that's great, Fred. Listen, I'm late for a work meeting. (''leaves'') :'''Fred''': But work's that way. (''Daphne arrives'') Why do I even bother? :'''Daphne''': (''accompanies Fred'') He cares, Fred, in his own way. ===Pawn of Shadows=== :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Now, Regina, time to come clean and reveal that you're-- (''unmasks The Obliteratrix'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Alice May? :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Who's Alice May? :'''Daphne''': She once pretended to be a Ghost Girl to kidnap Fred for her man posse because she wanted revenge for her father, the Creeper. :'''Shaggy''': But, like, how did you get out of jail? :'''Alice May''': I got out with the help of the same person who sent me to destroy you... Mr. E! :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Huh? :'''Angel Dynamite''': Huh? :'''Alice May''': E enlisted my services to put you kids in danger in hopes of drawing out his enemy, Professor Pericles. He figured if Pericles thought you were in trouble, he'd come to your rescue. E knew if he could get Pericles to reveal himself, it'd leave his piece of the Planispheric Disk vulnerable. Everything was fake. Special effects. :'''Shaggy''': But, like, where'd you get all the high-tech stuff? How'd you disappear? :'''Alice May''': E took care of that. It was all courtesy of one of Destroido's shell corporations: Quest Research Laboratories. They supplied me with everything I needed: Weapons, a high-tech cloaking device, even the effects. :'''Angel Dynamite''': (''handcuffs Alice'') So this was all staged by Mr. E to use the kids as parrot bait. :'''Alice May''': That's right. And it would have worked, too, if I hadn't been stopped by you, Miss meddling sassy pants! (''Next scene in the police car with Sheriff Stone and Alice May arrested'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': Wait, so are you telling me that you escaped from prison months ago, and I never noticed? (''laughs'') I don't think so. (''drives away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Well, gang, another mystery solved. :'''Daphne''': I just wish we could have done something about your job, Professor Hatecraft. :'''Dean''': (''arrives with car'') H.P.? Yoo-hoo! Oh, there you are, you dear man. :'''Professor Hatecraft''': Don't worry, Dean Fenk. I'm on my way to clean out my office now. :'''Dean''': Clean out your office? Oh, never. Heh! Haven't you heard the wonderful news? The song "Char Gar Gothakon", based on your novel, is a huge hit in Japan. And since Darrow College published the book, we're gonna make a fortune! (''Professor Hatecraft is amazingly surprised'') Now, I'm giving you Regina's old office Vampire books are so done and I'm having the dusk mobile repainted. (''she and Professor Hatecraft drive away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Well, Angel, it looks like we owe you one. :'''Scooby''': Yeah. You saved our tails. :'''Daphne''': How'd you know where we were? :'''Velma''': It's time, Angel. I can't keep this secret anymore. :'''Angel Dynamite''': I wanted to tell you kids earlier, but I was afraid. :'''Scooby''': Afraid of what? :'''Angel Dynamite''': Of telling you the truth. My real name isn't Angel Dynamite. It's Cassidy Williams. I'm one of the original members of Mystery Incorporated that disappeared. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne and Fred''': What? :'''Angel Dynamite/Cassidy''': It was all an accident. We should have never been in that condemned church. But Brad said he'd seen someone coming and going at night, and he wanted to investigate. We thought we'd found a treasure map, but it wasn't treasure; it was a threat, to not just our lives but the lives of our families. The thing in those caves forced us to leave Crystal Cove, or those who loved us would pay the price. (''Shaggy and Scooby are terrified'') :'''Shaggy''': L-l-like, who threatened you? :'''Angel Dynamite/Cassidy''': He called himself the Freak. The Freak of Crystal Cove. There, now you know the truth. That's what happened to the original Mystery Incorporated, and it will happen to all of you if you don't stop! Forget about the Planispheric Disk. Give Pericles your piece, or Mr. E. I don't care. The mystery is over. Let it end tonight! :'''Fred''': You lied to us, Angel. You've been lying to us from the beginning. Why should we listen to anything you have to say to us now? This mystery isn't over until we say it's over. Come on, gang. :'''Angel Dynamite/Cassidy''': No. No, you don't understand. He's still out there. (''The gang drives away'') The Freak is still out there! <hr width="50%"/> :'''The Freak''': The curse begun, but soon they'll see, the buried truth will end with me. (''laughs'') ===All Fear the Freak=== :'''Ed''': [[w:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Get in this car if you want to live]]. :'''Shaggy''': Huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': You have no right to bring us here. :'''Angel Dynamite/Cassidy''': I brought you here to protect you. :'''Fred''': Yeah, where have I heard that before? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': Hello, Ed Machine. :'''Ed''': What are you doing here? :'''Pericles''': I'd like you to deliver a message to Ricky. Or should I call him ''Mr. E''? :'''Ed''': (''last words'') Say what you want to say Pericles, then get out of my house. :'''Pericles''': (''chuckles'') Dear Ed, you misunderstand. I don't want to say ''anything''. (''attacks Ed Machine in the dark'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang arrives at an old ruined church'') :'''Fred''': This is where the mystery started, gang. And tonight, this is where it ends. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Dad, I'm sorry. We just... :'''Mayor Jones''': Uh, uh, uh. I can't hear you. My ears are too clogged with disappointment. :'''Barty''': ''[to Daphne]'' You are forbidden to see the Jones boy ever again. :'''Daphne''': What?! Mom, dad, you can't do that! Just listen for a second! Fred and I are engaged! :''[Barty faints in Nan's arms]'' :'''Velma, Shaggy and Scooby''': YOU'RE WHAT?! :'''Daphne''': Engaged. So you can't split us apart. Right, Fred? Fred? :'''Fred''': What? Oh, uh... right! I love Daphne. She's the most important thing in my life, besides the gang, mystery-solving, traps, my dad... truthfully, it's a five-way tie. :'''Daphne''': ''[groans]'' We're getting married as soon as we graduate. :'''Nan''': ''[gasps and drops Barty and points to Mayor Jones]'' This is your fault, Mystery Incorporated is over! :''[Nan grabs Daphne's arm and pulls her away]'' :'''Daphne''': Fred! :'''Fred''': Daphne! :''[Fred reaches for Daphne, but his father pulls him back]'' :'''Daphne''': Freddy! :'''Fred''': NO! ''[whispers as Mayor Jones pulls him away]'' Shaggy, Scooby, guard the disk piece in your room. Velma... :'''Velma''': ''[grabs scroll and hides it behind her back]'' I'm already on it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': Freeze freako. :'''Daphne''': Fred, you're alright. :'''Sheriff Stone''': What have you kids done now? First I get a hysterical call from the Rogers saying Scooby and Shaggy jumped out the window during still life night. And then the other parents start phoning, saying that their kids have disappeared. And then Angel calls me all frantic about-- Who is this guy? :'''Fred''': I'll tell you who he is, Sheriff. The Freak of Crystal Cove... (''unmasks the Freak'') is my father. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne and Velma''': Mayor Jones? :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''gasps'') But...? :'''Mayor Jones''': How did you know? :'''Fred''': When I found out both pictures of my mother were just cut-outs from a magazine, I checked the dates on the back. It was the same day I was born, or what you said was the same day I was born. Still, I wasn't sure. Not until now. Why? :'''Mayor Jones''': Why do you think? Because of the curse. For years I'd heard about the curse and the supposed haunted treasure. That was the reason I came to Crystal Cove. I'd been accepted to Darrow University's history department, which gave me access to the town archives. When I found the story about the conquistadors that disappeared, I decided to disguise myself and begin my search for the Planispheric Disk. Sadly, I found nothing. Until Mystery Incorporated walked into the library seeking advice. They had no idea what they'd found. Well, that wasn't true. Actually, their mascot knew. For access to my knowledge, Pericles was willing to betray his friends. We concocted a scheme to blackmail the kids into leaving town by threatening them with fabricated documents implicating their parents in various crimes. They were unaware of my true identity, but I still had one loose end. Pericles had to go. I placed an anonymous call to the police implicating him in the kids' disappearance. By the time, Pericles woke, he was already in custody. He was sentenced to spend the rest of his miserable parrot life where he belonged... in a cage. Becoming mayor allowed me to continue my search for the remaining pieces. And I would have found them, too, if it weren't for you, my meddling-- Fred. :'''Fred''': That still doesn't explain what happened to my mother. :'''Mayor Jones''': The truth is, I don't know. I assume she's still with Brad Chiles. :'''Daphne''': Wait, are you saying that Judy Reeves is Fred's mother? But that would mean... :'''Mayor Jones''': Brad Chiles is your real father. (''Fred is shocked'') Two years after they left, Brad tried to return to Crystal Cove. By that time, he and Judy had married and she'd given birth to a baby boy. I had to stop Brad. I took you and told him you'd be safe, as long as they never returned again. :'''Fred''': All this for a treasure no one's even sure exists? Where's the piece? :'''Mayor Jones''': Fred, you're still my son. I raised you. :'''Fred''': (''grabs the Mayor Jones'') You used me. Where'd you hide it? In your pocket? (''tries to search the piece in his pocket but it's empty'') :'''Mayor Jones''': It's gone? We have to find it. That piece is priceless. Fred! (''Fred puts Mayor Jones down'') Uhh. FRED!? (''Fred runs away and Daphne follows him'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''sobs'') Tell me this isn't true. :'''Daphne''': Fred, I'm sorry. You'll get through this. :'''Fred''': My whole life has been a lie, Daphne. I have parents I've never known. :'''Daphne''': We'll find them. Together. :'''Fred''': No. I need to do this on my own. I'm sorry, Daphne, the engagement is off. I'm leaving Crystal Cove, and I'm leavin' tonight. :'''Daphne''': But what about us? Mystery Incorporated? :'''Fred''': Mystery Incorporated is dead. ''(walks away)'' :'''Daphne''': Shaggy, Scooby, do something. :'''Shaggy''': Freddie? (''his parents stop him and Scooby'') Oh, mom, dad. Like, what gives? :'''Paula Rogers''': Norville, your father and I have given this a lot of thought, and we feel it best you go away for a while. :'''Shaggy''': What? Go away?! Like, where? :'''Colton Rogers''': Farmsdale Military Academy. :'''Paula Rogers''': And don't worry about Scooby. We found him a nice farm to live on. :'''Scooby''': (''shocked'') Farm?! :'''Shaggy''': Huh?! :'''Velma''': (''Daphne sobs'') It'll be okay, Daph. Fred will come back. :'''Daphne''': (''cries'') Didn't you hear him? Mystery Incorporated is dead. If you had just told us about Angel sooner, this never would have happened. (''walks away'') :(''Velma's parents take her in the car'') :'''Shaggy''': Well, like, dudes, I can't go to military school. I'm an eater, not a fighter. :'''Pericles''': What an amusing turn of events. :'''Scooby''': (''yelps'') Pericles! :'''Pericles''': Don't be afraid, Scooby. I've no reason to hurt you. (''holds up piece'') I have what I came for. (''chuckles'') :'''Scooby''': The mayor's piece! ''You'' have it! :'''Pericles''': Two down, four to go. (''opens car window'') Until we meet again, ''auf wiedersehn'', Scooby-Doo. (''laughs and flies away'') :'''Scooby''': I'll get the gang back together, Pericles. We'll be coming for you, or my name isn't Scooby-Dooby-Doo! == Season 2 == ===The Night the Clown Cried=== :'''Crybaby Clown''': You all know me. You know how I earn a living. I'm a bad clown. Stopping me ain't going to be easy. There's no string and a net to catching me like Mano Tiki Tia or Redbeard's ghost. This Crybaby Clown swallow your town whole. (''chuckles'') You want your tourism back? You're gonna pay me $5 million. For that, you get the pacifier, the rattle, the whole darn clown. So what's it going to be? Me, or Mystery Incorporated? :'''Sheriff Stone''': Well, it sounds like a good deal to me. I'll start passing the hat. So long, mystery goofs. :'''Scooby''': Hold on, Clown! That is our town. :'''Shaggy''': (''chuckles nervously'') That's right! And we don't need money to protect it. Although it would be nice-- (''Velma hits him with elbow'') Ow! :'''Velma''': Freddie, I think it's trapping time. :'''Fred''': Right, Velma! And I know the perfect g-- the perfect-- ah-- I-- guh! :'''Mayor Nettles''': What's wrong? :'''Fred''': I-- my trapping knowledge! It's gone! My mind is-- is empty! :'''Crybaby Clown''': Wahh wahh. So tragic. Oh, well, I offered. (''The door closes abruptly and the lights are shut off'') Time's up, Crystal Cove. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Crybaby Clown''': Aww, this makes me think you don't like me. Wahh wahh! And by the way, building your little donut shop trap next to a fireworks store might not have been the best idea. See ya soon, Mystery Incorporated! (''throws the baby bottle bomb in the fireworks store to explode. Crybaby Clown drives away'') :'''Velma''': Run! :'''Fred''': Daphne! :'''Velma''': Isn't coming! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Well, I think it's safe to say, if the town didn't hate us before. This should certainly do the trick. :(''Fred feels disappointed'') :'''Scooby''': Freddie? Are you okay? :'''Fred''': No, Scoob, I'm not. My trap failed, and for the first time, the bad guy got away. And it's my fault. :'''Shaggy''': We're all responsible, Fred. We're a team, remember? :'''Fred''': That's just it, Shaggy. We're not a team. Not without Daphne. And now I know... she's never coming back. ===The House of the Nightmare Witch=== :(''Sheriff Stone handcuffs Baba Yaga'') :'''Fred''': And now, let's see who Baba Yaga really is. (''unmasks Baba Yaga'') :'''Everyone''': Curator Vronsky? :'''Velma''': Exactly. He was using Baba Yaga's house to smuggle stolen Fabergé eggs into the country. :'''Curator Vronsky''': That's right. I was going to sell them on the black market. Finally, I was to be a rich capitalist with all my loot. I had it planned ''perfectly''. Before becoming a museum curator, I spent many years in Spetsnaz, Soviet Special Forces. This allowed me to make modifications on the house using what I could find on the ship. I even put a remote control in my walking stick to move the house. I needed to get assistant curator Anna Arkadyevna out of the way before she became suspicious of my plan. I tied her up and kept her prisoner in the house while I donned the Baba Yaga costume and used the voice modulator to frighten away the curious. But, when one of the eggs was damaged, I had to alter the plan. But you ''brats'' kept interrupting my repair of the legs. I could not leave any of my precious eggs behind. There were too many. I needed the house to carry them all. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you decadent bourgeoisie teenagers and your slobbering, democracy-loving dog! :'''Anna''': I had my suspicions of Vronsky all along. That is why I came with him. Thank you for saving the Fabergé eggs, our national treasure. ===The Night the Clown Cried II: Tears of Doom!=== :'''Fred''': And now let's see who Crybaby Clown really is. (''unmasks the Crybaby Clown'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Hot Dog Water and Fred''': Baylor Hotner! :'''Baylor Hotner''': That's right-''ner''. Actor, humanitarian, guy with amazingly super awesome abs. I came here to Crystal Cove to research the part of a crazed clown for my upcoming blockbuster movie, "The Night the Clown Cried". It was gonna be my ''Oscar''. Using my knowledge of Hollywood makeup and effects and a trick buggy I stole from the back lot, I honed my crazed clown performance to perfection. Then, I built my entourage: a therapist, a hairdresser, a plastic surgeon, and a publicist. Everything I needed to be a great actor. Of course, I put tracking chips in all of them because you have to know where your posse is at all times. I even had an innocent small-town girl that would make me look like the nicest guy. I had it all! And I would have been the world's greatest Hollywood thespian, too, if it hadn't have been for you small-town scene stealers. :'''Daphne''': (''slaps Baylor'') Small-town that, Baylor Hotner. These are my friends. Take him away, Sheriff. :(''Sheriff Stone arrests Baylor'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Thanks, guys. You, uh, really saved me. :'''Shaggy''': Like, you're one of us. :'''Fred''': Um, you know, Daphne, you could come back to me... to the gang, I mean. :'''Daphne''': Really? I'd like that. Very much. :'''Scooby''': (''hugs Daphne'') Hooray! Daphne's back. Group hug. (''Fred, Velma, and Shaggy hug Daphne'') Scooby-Dooby-Doo! And Daphne, too. (''laughs'') ===Web of the Dreamweaver!=== :'''Shaggy''': Hey, gang, look at this. (''shows the newspaper to the gang'') Last night Horbert Feist, prominent banker, drove his car at high speed into the Crystal Cove bank. :'''Scooby''': Why would he do that? :'''Daphne''': I don't know and I don't care, but a mystery is just the thing we need now to wipe away our skull-crushing guilt. :'''Fred''': I'm in. Velma? :'''Velma''': (''a bit sad'') Sure, I could use a little soul cleansing right about now. :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''imprisones Horbert Feist'') Horbert Feist, I must advise you not to say anything until your lawyer arrives. And don't say anything then, either!? (''The gang arrives'') :'''Fred''': Hi, Sheriff Stone. :'''Sheriff Stone''': What are you kids doing here? :'''Daphne''': We've come to ask what you know about Mr. Feist. :'''Sheriff Stone''': What? Look, who said I knew him? I've never seen him before in my life. (''The gang is confused'') All I know is he's a thief, and he belongs behind bars. :'''Shaggy''': A thief? Papers didn't say anything about that. What'd he steal? :'''Sheriff Stone''': Nothing I could find, but you don't need to steal something to be a thief. :'''Horbert''': Come on, Bronson. You've known me for years! We grew up together. You know I'd never steal anything. :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''singing and covering his ears'') La la la, la la la, can't hear you, la la la lah. (''leaves'') :'''Fred''': Mr. Feist, can you tell us what happened last night? :'''Horbert''': Everything was normal. I was asleep, and then I had this terrible dream. (''In the dream world, which is a labyrinth based on Escher's House of Stairs, Horbert runs in fear trying to escape from the Dreamweaver until he finds him carrying a glowing purple orb'') :'''Dreamweaver''': I've come for you, Horbert. (''Horbert runs to the other side but the Dreamweaver appeared on the other side'') Breath of frost. (''uses the purple orb to attack Horbert making him paralyzed'') (''to Horbert's ear'') Level 99. :'''Horbert''': And the next thing I knew, I was driving my car into the bank. :'''Shaggy''': That's the weirdest dream I've ever heard, and I've had some pretty weird dreams. :'''Horbert''': ''[weeps]'' I loved that car...more than my own children! ''[tears]'' And now it's gone. Gone! (''sobs'') :'''Velma''': Feist's alibi is pretty weak, and that dream... What does level 99 mean? :'''Shaggy''': How would I know? Oh. (''whimpers; In the dream world, Francilee Jackson runs in fear trying to escape from the Dreamweaver until she finds him'') :'''Dreamweaver''': No one can escape, Francilee. (''uses the purple orb to shine with lightning and the rope gets out of it'') Ropes of binding! :'''Francilee''': (''runs to the other side'') No! It can't be! You can't be back! (''The rope catches Francilee'') Please. Please. This can't be happening! :'''Dreamweaver''': (''to Francilee's ear'') Twenty-sided dice. (''The Dreamweaver laughs maniacally and Francilee screams in horror. In Francilee's tv show "The Francilee Show", the audience is applauding'') :'''Francilee''': Now, no meal is complete without cornbread stuffing. And the best cornbread stuffing in the world is Francilee's Cornbread Stuffing! (''the audience applauds again'') Made from my little ol' super secret family recipe handed down through generations. And the super secret about Francilee's Cornbread Stuffing is there ain't even no corn in it! (''The audience gasps'') Oh, my goodness, why did I say that? (''starts sleeping. The screen is shut off by Sheriff Stone, revealing the tv screen in the next scene'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': Lyin' about there being corn in your cornbread stuffin'-- that's what we in the sheriffing world call fraud! I think. :'''Francilee''': (''in the prison cell'') Oh, Bronson, how can you do this to little ol' me? We've known each other since we was chillun! :'''Sheriff Stone''': What?! I've never seen your face before in my life! :'''Daphne''': But it's on the box in your hand. :'''Sheriff Stone''': What box? (''hides the box in his back'') What hand? (''The gang tries to look the box in Sheriff Stone's Back'') I--I have to go now to destroy this very tasty evidence. :'''Scooby''': Uh, we'll help! :'''Daphne''': Mrs. Jackson, tell us what happened. :'''Francilee''': [[Monsters, Inc.|It's a mystery. Took me a nap this afternoon, and I had this frightful dream! When I woke up, I was on the TV, and everyone knew my recipe! I loved that secret stuffin' recipe more than my own chillun, and now it's ruined!?]] (''sobs hardly'') :'''Velma''': Did your dream by any chance involve a labyrinth, spells, a purple orb, and a mysterious inhuman mage? :'''Francilee''': Yes, exactly! :'''Fred''': Did the pointy-eared freakwad say anything? :'''Francilee''': Yes, he said, "twenty-sided dice". :(''Shaggy whimpers and Sheriff Stone is a bit shocked'') :'''Francilee''': First Horbert, now me? I don't know who all's doing this, but I know who all will be next: Melvin Keisterbaum. :'''Daphne''': Melvin Keisterbaum? :(''Daphne drives the Mystery Machine'') :'''Daphne''': Mr. Keisterbaum lives in the big house next-door to my parents. We have to warn him! (''The gang arrives at Melvin's big house'') We're here. (''knocks the door'') Mr. Keisterbaum? Hello? Guess he's not home. :(''The gang leaves the mansion, in a moment an explosion appears in it, the gang falls down to the ground'') :'''Fred''': (''lifts Daphne'') Daph? Unh. :'''Daphne''': Thanks, Fred. :'''Fred''': No probs, Daph. It's what anyone who's just a friend would do for anyone else who's just a friend. :(''Daphne smiles and Velma finds a broken light bulb'') :'''Velma''': Hmm. What's this? A broken light bulb? Never seen one like this before. :'''Melvin''': (''arrives'') My mansion! My beautiful mansion! I loved that mansion more than my own children... if I had any. :'''Daphne''': Mr. Keisterbaum, what happened? :'''Melvin''': Who knows? One moment I'm asleep on the couch, the next I'm standing in the garden with an empty canister of napalm. :'''Daphne''': Did you have any dreams? :'''Melvin''': Yes! I was in a labyrinth, and there were spells, a strange glowing orb, and a terrible monster! He was saying one word over and over: "Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver!" :'''Velma''': Level 99, 20-sided dice, Dreamweaver. What's the connection? :'''Shaggy''': Like, what are you asking me for? Do I look like the kind of nerd that plays Crypts and Creatures? :'''Fred''': Crypts and Creatures? Isn't that the nerdy fantasy role-playing game that nerdy nerds play? :'''Shaggy''': Like, it--um--I... OK, fine. Like, yeah. I was a closet CNC player. I used to roll the dice every night. ::(''Flashback starts, in Shaggy's bedroom'') ::'''Shaggy''': (''playing Crypts and Creatures with dice'') Come on, saving throw. Shagdolf needs a new pair of +5 forks of feasting. ::'''Paula Rogers''': (''outside the room door, knocking on it'') Norville? What are you doing in there? Norville? ::'''Shaggy''': Mom! Like, no, mom! No! Don't come in! Please don't come in! ::(''Next, in the school with Emmanuel'') :'''Shaggy''': (''narrates'') ''Then, one day, I thought my science teacher was a bugbear, and I smote him with a magic missile.'' ::'''Shaggy''': I smite thee with magic missile! Magic missile! Magic missile! Magic missile! Magic missile! ::(''Flashback ends'') :'''Shaggy''': Roll crit. Yes. Double damage! Ha ha ha ha! And that's when I knew I had to quit. :'''Scooby''': (''laughs'') It's all right to be a nerd, ''Shagdolf''. (''laughs again'') :(''Sheriff Stone arrives with police car'') :'''Melvin''': Bronson, he's after us. You're next! :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''gasps'') I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know you. Who are you, strange little mustached man? :'''Melvin''': It's the Dreamweaver! :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''starts panicking'') What? No. No, it's not possible. The Dreamweaver? THE DREAMWEAVER? Ohh. (''to the gang'') Kids. Kids, you gotta help me. If the Dreamweaver is back, I can never sleep again!? <hr width="50%"/> ::(''In the flashback, the young Sheriff Stone, Francilee Jackson, Melvin Keisterbaum and Horbert Feist were playing Crypts and Creatures'') ::'''Young Bronson Stone''': (''to young Melvin'') OK, you've defeated the goblin warriors and now stand in the lair of the diabolical Dreamweaver. (''whispers'') What do you do? ::'''Young Melvin''': I use night vision to check for traps. ::'''Young Francilee''': I drink a large potion of health. ::'''Young Horbert''': I cast detect magic... on my butt! ::(''Young Melvin and Francilee laugh'') ::'''Young Bronson Stone''': If you guys don't take this seriously, I'm gonna take my soda and my dice and go home! ::'''Young Melvin, Francilee and Horbert''': Sorry, Bronson. ::'''Young Bronson Stone''': (''shows the Dreamweaver drawing'') The Dreamweaver, lord of the sleep realm, with his mystical orb of power, stands before you... ready to cast you ''into the abyss''. ::(''Flashback ends'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': And now the Dreamweaver's come out of the game to finish what he started! AND I'M NEXT. (''sobs'') :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': Whoa. :'''Velma''': But why would he go after you guys? :'''Sheriff Stone''': Aren't you paying attention? It's because we stopped playing CNC. We turned our backs on imagination. Because we grew up!? :'''Shaggy''': (''whimpers'') Like, let's never grow up, Scoob. :'''Scooby''': Uh-uh, never. :'''Velma''': We'll go investigate what this light bulb thing is. Shaggy, Scooby, stay here and make sure the Sheriff doesn't fall asleep. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': Got it. :(''Fred, Daphne and Velma go to the Mystery Machine, Velma's cell phone rings, the call is from Mr. E'') :'''Velma''': (''answers the phone in secret'') Mr. E. :'''Ricky''': ''I thought you were the smart one, Velma, but you're making mistakes.'' :'''Velma''': I'm smart enough to trust my friends. Mystery Incorporated is a team. That's why I gave Fred the piece of Planispheric Disk. :(''Next scene in Destroido'') :'''Ricky''': A team without Hot Dog Water? That was wrong move number 2. Maybe I misjudged you, Velma. :(''Next scene on the outskirts of the Norville house'') :'''Ricky''': ''Maybe you don't want to save your friends.'' (''Velma is annoyed'') ''Maybe you don't want to save Crystal Cove. Maybe you--'' (''Velma hangs up her cell phone'') :'''Fred''': Who was that? :'''Velma''': Wrong number. (''enters the Mystery Machine'') :(''In the dream world, Scooby, Shaggy and Sheriff Stone appeared'') :'''Scooby''': Where are we? :'''Sheriff Stone''': The lair of the Dreamweaver. It's exactly the way I designed it. :'''Shaggy''': Next time, design something less scary. :'''Scooby''': And put in a snack bar. :(''Sheriff Stone, Shaggy and Scooby walk'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': I remember the layout perfectly. :(''Shaggy whimpers'') :(''Sheriff Stone, Shaggy and Scooby start running trying to find the exit'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': There's the exit. :(''The Dreamweaver arrives in front of Sheriff Stone, Shaggy and Scooby'') :'''Dreamweaver''': Welcome back, Bronson. Time to cast you into the abyss. (''laughs'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, run! :(''Sheriff Stone, Shaggy and Scooby run to the other side'') :'''Dreamweaver''': (''appears on the other side'') Polymorph! (''uses the orb to attack Shaggy and transform into a rabbit'') (''Sheriff Stone, Scooby and rabbit Shaggy run to the other side and the Dreamweaver appears'') Flesh of stone! (''uses the orb to attack Sheriff Stone and transform into a stone'') (''Scooby screams and runs to the other side trying to escape the Dreamweaver'') Crashing tide! (''uses the orb to raise the wave and crush Scooby'') :'''Scooby''': Uh-oh! :(''The dream world is interrupted as Sheriff Stone, Shaggy and Scooby woke up wet from bucket of water, thrown by Fred'') :'''Fred''': Way to go on keeping Sheriff Stone awake, guys. :'''Shaggy''': We just met the Dreamweaver. He is one scary dude. :'''Velma''': Sheriff, do you have your Dreamweaver drawing with you? :'''Sheriff Stone''': It's right here with my character sheets and dice. A CNC player is always ''ready to play''. :'''Scooby''': Hmm? :'''Shaggy''': Wait a minute. Hey, Scooby-Doo, which hand did the Dreamweaver juggle his orb with? :'''Scooby''': Uh, his right. No, l--left. :'''Shaggy''': Sorry, Sheriff. It seems you're not quite the cryptmaster you thought. The Dreamweaver holds his orb in his off hand, not his main. :'''Fred''': Uh, in non-nerdspeak? :'''Daphne''': It means this Dreamweaver is a righty, but ours is a lefty. :'''Velma''': Sheriff, it's time to face your fears one more time. ::(''In the dream world, Sheriff Stone runs trying to escape from the Dreamweaver'') ::'''Sheriff Stone''': (''panting'') Keep running. Don't look back. :'''Dreamweaver''': (''laughing'') Rain of fire! (''uses the orb to trap Sheriff Stone with the wall of fire'') I've waited for this for a long, long time. Game over, Bronson. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Time for some magic of my own. (''unmasks himself revealing to be Fred'') :'''Fred''': Confess, Dreamweaver. :(''The Dreamweaver starts panicking, Fred unmasks himself revealing to be Shaggy'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, confess. :'''Dreamweaver''': (''scared'') What? :(''Shaggy unmasks himself revealing to be Daphne'') :'''Daphne''': Confess! :'''Dreamweaver''': Aah! :(''Daphne walks and unmasks herself revealing to be Velma, Dreamweaver walks backwards scared'') :'''Velma''': Confess! :(''Velma unmasks herself revealing to be Scooby'') :'''Scooby''': Confess! ::(''Dreamweaver falls down scared, throws the purple orb, the orb is broken'') ::(''Dream world ends'') :'''Horbert''': (''wakes up in the bed'') I confess! I did it! I did it! I'M THE DREAMWEAVER! :(''The gang with Sheriff Stone, Francilee and Melvin appeared'') :'''Fred''': (''with the dream machine helmet on his head'') Busted. :'''Horbert''': How--how did you know? :'''Velma''': In all the dreams, the Dreamweaver held his orb in his left hand. But when we looked at everybody else, guess what? They're all righties. You're the only lefty in the bunch. :'''Daphne''': This type of light bulb is used to stimulate them sleep. You used them to create this: a dream machine, which allowed you to project yourself into another person's dreams and manipulate them. :'''Fred''': It cost you millions of dollars, which you loaned yourself from your own bank. Then you drove your car into your bank, blowing it up to cover your tracks. :'''Shaggy''': Like, the only thing we don't know is why. :'''Horbert''': (''to Sheriff Stone, Francilee and Melvin'') It was all your fault! :'''Sheriff Stone, Francilee and Melvin''': (''annoyed'') Huh? :(''In the flashback, the young Sheriff Stone, Francilee Jackson, Melvin Keisterbaum and Horbert Feist were playing Crypts and Creatures'') :'''Young Bronson Stone''': Horbert, the Dreamweaver raises his orb, ready to cast his smiting spell. Make a saving throw. :(''Young Horbert throws the dice to reach the highest number'') :'''Young Horbert''': Whoo-hoo! :(''The dice moved to the lowest number, Young Bronson Stone, Francilee, Melvin and Horbert are surprised'') :'''Young Bronson Stone''': The Dreamweaver laughs as he casts your broken, lifeless elven body ''into the eternal abyss''. :'''Young Horbert''': (''shocked'') NOOOOO! :(''Flashback ends'') :'''Horbert''': I loved that elf, (''sobs'') I LOVED HIM MORE THAN MY OWN CHILDREN!? (''annoyed'') (''to Sheriff Stone, Francilee and Melvin'') And you took him away from me. You were all part of it! So I vowed to take away the things you all loved. (''to the gang'') And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you--you ROLE-PLAYING NERDS! :(''Sheriff Stone handcuffs Horbert and takes him into custody'') :'''Mrs. Feist''': Horbert, what are these people doing in our bedroom? :'''Horbert''': Go back to sleep, dear. :(''The gang walks toward the Jones mansion'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, man, I really feel Mr. Feist's pain. Losing your CNC character is... intense. :'''Scooby''': It's OK, Shagdolf. It's OK. :(''The gang looks at the open front door'') :'''Velma''': Fred, you left the door wide open. :(''The gang arrives at the house, the living room is clean'') :'''Daphne''': Fred, when did you hire a maid? :'''Fred''': I-I didn't. :'''Shaggy''': Then, like, who cleaned? :'''Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves''': (''appear'') We did. :'''Daphne''': Fred, is that... :'''Velma''': Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves? :'''Fred''': Mom? Dad? :'''Brad''': That's right, Fred. :'''Judy''': We're your parents. :'''Brad''': And we're back. :(''Fred is a bit shocked'') ===The Hodag of Horror=== :'''Fred''': He was stealing this wheel of old cheese. :'''Velma''': Now let's see who the Hodag really is. :(''Shaggy opens the cage and Velma unmasks Hodag'') :'''Everyone''': Roberto! :'''Scooby''': Where's my Nova? :'''Velma''': Hold on. (''unmasks Roberto's face'') :'''Everyone''': A monkey? :'''Fussbuster''': (''heard in the balcony holding Nova over the edge'') That's right. My monkey. Nobody moves or the dog gets it. :'''Scooby''': Nova! :'''Daphne''': Mr. Fussbuster, please, don't hurt Nova. Why are you doing this? :'''Fussbuster''': It all started back when I was a sailor working the trade boats in Indonesia. I learned you could train a monkey to steal. So that's just what I did. I trained Roberto using bells and used him to build up my fortune. When I rang a bell, he would start taking valuable objects. But he became bell crazy, started stealing bells, too. It drove me insane, all of those bells! And he not only brought home the bells, but whatever were attached to them. You don't know how many cats and cows and hunchbacks he brought home with him! But it was all worth it, as we were just about to steal the 500-year-old cheese you have in your hand. :'''Fred''': 500-year-old cheese? :'''Fussbuster''': Yes. It was made right here in Crystal Cove by a master Spanish cheesemaker. It's priceless. And with its theft, I could have finally retired to the Netherlands, where they really enjoy cheese properly. :'''Velma''': But why the Hodag? :'''Fussbuster''': Shepherd's security was unbreakable. I needed the key. Seemed the best way to get it. Now, toss the cheese up here and she won't get hurt. (''Nova is whimpering'') :'''Scooby''': (''growling, grabs the cheese'') Here, Fussbuster. Fetch! :(''Scooby throws the cheese to Fussbuster, Fussbuster tried to steal it but falls down to grass, and Scooby saves Nova'') :(''Next scene in the police car with Fussbuster and Roberto ringing the bell'') :'''Fussbuster''': (''groaning'') And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those bells. The bells! The bells! (''crying'') ===Art of Darkness!=== :'''Velma''': Let's see who's really behind all this junk. (''grabs the TV head of Junk'') :'''Randy Warsaw''': I don't get it. :'''Daphne''': Wait for it. We discovered the strange paralysis of Eeko, Clio, and worker number one had been caused by a rare strand of brewers yeast. Used only in Bavaria. That allowed us to reverse the effect. :'''Velma''': These guys have been frozen to recreate a picture by the famous Bavarian artist Albrecht von Cartofokauf. So we knew we were looking for someone German. :'''Randy Warsaw''': I... I still don't get it. :'''Daphne''': Here's why Randy Warsaw. The real culprit is (''grabs the head out of Junk'') Butch Furbanks. :'''Butch''': Fine, you got me. But don't expect my introspective personality to register guilt. :'''Daphne''': His real name is Hans van Shanengruber. :'''Velma''': Before Butch joined "Sunday Around Noonish" he released an album of classical accordion music. It reached number one in the Bravarian hit parade. But soon fizzled. :'''Fred''': Using powerful electro magnets, and his expert knowledge of musical instruments, Butch was able to control your junk sculpture and make it attack you. :'''Shaggy''': Like the only thing we don't know is why? :'''Butch''': Alright, look I did it for art. :'''Randy Warsaw''': That can't be right, can it? :'''Butch''': Okay, that's a lie. The truth is I hated what you made me in to. All I ever wanted to do was play polkas in a Bravarian Oompa band. A beautiful dream that I lived until I came to work for you, Randy Warsaw. You changed me. You transformed me. Molded me in to a dark band leader, playing and singing horrible intellectual music. You took everything from me. And I wanted to make you pay. Pay! And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling polka haters. (''Sheriff takes Butch into custody'') (''to Scooby'') Oh and your singing stinks, nobody understands a word you're saying. :'''Scooby''': That's outrageous! :'''Randy Warsaw''': Well, thank you, Mystery Incorporated. You've saved modern art from the clutches of the boudoir. There's only one this left to say: I find you all horribly, horribly boring. So, get out of here. Shoo, shoo. Go away. (''leaves'') :'''Scooby''': Uh, Mr. Warsaw, can I keep the wig? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': It's okay, gang. Sometimes people just don't appreciate it when you save the day. That's just the price of our... art. :'''Cassidy''': (''on the Mystery Machine radio'') ''Listen up, boppers. Because I've got a brand new radio show coming at you right now. Across the airwaves.'' (''Next scene in K-Ghoul'') It's all about the truth. Evil resides in Crystal Cove. (''Next scene in Jones mansion, Brad and Judy hear her'') ''So stay tuned and maybe, just maybe...'' (''Next scene in Mystery Machine, the gang hears her'') ''We'll all get through this thing alive.'' ===The Gathering Gloom=== :'''Fred''': Velma! Scooby! We heard explosions. Are you okay? :'''Moder''': Oh! What have you done to our cemetery? :'''Velma''': What we've done is capture the Graveyard Ghoul. And now, let's see who he really is. (''unmasks the Graveyard Ghoul'') Evallo. :'''Shaggy''': Well, what do you know? It really was the most obvious suspect. (''chuckles'') Who would have guessed? :'''Velma''': Evallo was stealing natural gas from the Crystal Cove gas company. :'''Evallo''': Yes, that is right. I did it. I, count Evallo von Meanskrieg, developed a perfectly evil plan und used my position as gravedigger to cover my activities. But the crowd from the Mayor's movie night meant someone might notice what I was up to. I had to scare them off! Thus, my genius evil plan of the Graveyard Ghoul was born. Unfortunately, the flame-broiling grill was incredibly dangerous so close to my gas lines. I had to stop it. Which led to my capture. Sadly, I, the evil count Evallo von Meanskrieg, would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for this Sheriff and his American-style barbecue. :'''Sheriff Stone''': (''closes the police car door'') You all saw that, right? I caught the right guy, and on purpose! (''drives away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ricky''': (''prepares grape juice'') I'm glad you came. I wasn't sure you would. :'''Pericles''': Of course, Ricky. I'm happy you invited me. :'''Ricky''': To a future of unimaginable wealth. :'''Pericles''': To the treasure. For with it, we shall rule the world. :'''Ricky''': A meeting of this momentous importance deserves some mood music. (''turns on the radio'') :'''Cassidy''': ''Remember, all you listeners out there, something bad is going down at Crystal Cove. And by down, I mean underneath. Watch out for any foul play, especially of the feathered kind. :'''Pericles''': (''shuts down the radio'') Ahh, Cassidy. If we are to continue, she will need to be silenced ''forever''. :'''Ricky''': Agreed. Forever. :(''Pericles and Ricky clink glasses'') ===Night on Haunted Mountain=== :'''Daphne''': How in the world did a ship get all the way up here? :'''Velma''': Maybe this can tell us. It's the ship's manifest. The writing's in Español, but I aced honor's Spanish. I can translate. "I fear I may have doomed us all. After months of filling our hold... " :(''In the flashback with narrating conquistador'') :'''Conquistador''': ...with treasure, we were about to set sail when word was delivered of an even greater prize: a sarcophagus of the purest crystal, filled to the brim with black pearls of immense value. A king's ransom! The men and I were overtaken with a desire to find this great treasure. And after several months of searching, find it we did. What we didn't realize was that the Entity that dwelled inside that crystal sarcophagus had been searching for us as well. In our thirst for power and wealth, we had discovered a terrible evil. It preyed upon our fears, driving us to commit Horrible acts. Finally, in an act of desperation to stop what we had become, I set the ship ashore on the mission coast, in a cove we named after what we would soon bring there: '''Crystal Cove'''. :(''Flashback interrupted'') :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! Ha ha! Like, that means... :'''Fred''': These are the conquistadors that founded our town! :'''Daphne''': The ones that disappeared! :(''Flashback continues'') :'''Conquistador''': I used the arcanical ''Disco Planisférico'', to map our location, and we buried the evil treasure deep, deep underground. Then, we broke the disk into 6 pieces and went our separate ways. I concealed my piece aboard the ship and artfully protected it by a large number of lethal mechanical devices. I brought the ship here, to the top of this mountain, to stay hidden forever. :(''Flashback ends'') :'''Velma''': It's signed Fernando El Aguirre, captain of the "Santa Lucia" of Spain. :'''Daphne''': Jeepers! You know what this means? The fifth piece of the Planispheric Disk is right here on this ship! :'''Shaggy''': Then let's find it and get out of here before that crazy chick shows up again! Hoo-hoo! :'''Scooby''': Yeah! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': (''sniffs'') There's that smell again. Of course. (''sees the broken disguise in the right leg'') HOT DOG WATER. (''The Dark Lilith runs away with the piece #5 of the Planispheric Disk'') Marcie, wait! :'''Dark Lilith/Marcie''': (''unmasks herself'') Hello, Velma. :'''Velma''': Why would you--wait. Of course. Mr. E. You're still working for him. But you couldn't outwit the captain's traps without Fred. :'''Marcie''': That's right. So humiliating to have to rely on a guy. I repurposed my old Manticore outfit and super helium technology to create the Dark Lilith disguise. Then, I lured Gary and Ethan here by falsely telling them professional soccer players worked their calf muscles on Mount Diabla. I knew Fred would talk you guys into investigating what happened to them. Then, Fred could spring the traps, and I could get the piece. (''sighs'') But you're a hard girl to fool, V. I'm glad you recognized me. :'''Velma''': Me too. So, how's this gonna end? :'''Marcie''': (''sadly gives the piece to Velma'') Here. Friendship should always come first, and-- well, you're the only friend I've ever had. :'''Velma''': What about Mr. E? He'll hunt you down and destroy you. :'''Marcie''': He'll have to catch me first. See you around, Velma Dinkley. (''walks away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Way to go, Velma! I thought Dark Lilith was going to end up with the fifth piece for sure. :'''Scooby''': Where'd the evil lady go? :'''Velma''': No idea. Flew away, I guess. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Well, gang, with the 3 pieces we have, the two pieces Pericles stole, that means there's-- :'''Scooby''': Just one more piece to go. :'''Daphne''': Yeah, and why do I get the feeling that even if we don't find number 6? It'll end up finding us. :(''The gang drives away'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ghost of a Conquistador''': Nibiru. (''laughs and slowly fades'') ===Grim Judgement=== :'''Daphne''': Looks like Hebediah Grim won't be judging anybody, now that we know he's really... :(''Scooby and Daphne unmasks the 2 Hebediah Grims'') :'''Scooby''': Gary and Ethan. :'''Ethan''': Ugh! How did you know? :'''Gary''': Yeah! We were, like, totally sneaky! :'''Velma''': Not so totally, I'm afraid. The odd indentations in Hebediah Grim's footprints turned out to be soccer cleat marks. Gary's chat video was pre-recorded. I hacked your laptop and found the original recordings. :'''Fred''': Two missing costumes meant there could be two Hebediah Grims. :'''Shaggy''': Like, worst of all, you guys tried to frame Doogle McGuiness by putting a yearbook on his porch: Ethan's yearbook! :'''Velma''': So judge that, you losers. (''throws the yearbook hardly'') Boo-yah! Who wants to judge me now? Huh? Who? You want to judge me? You? In your face! YEAH! :'''Scooby''': Velma, you're scaring me. :'''Fred''': The real question is, why? Why did you guys do it? :'''Gary and Ethan''': Girls. :'''Gary''': Duh. We wanted to terrify girls and then rescue them so they'd fall for us, just like the knights did in the old west before the dragons went away. :'''Ethan''': Yeah. Knights terrorize and save damsels to score dates with them all the time. :'''Fred''': Huh. I never thought about it that way. :'''Daphne''': But why did you both dress up? :'''Ethan''': We don't trust each other. Tag-teaming was the only option. :'''Gary''': And we would have gotten away with it if any of you mystery, stink losers had lives. ===Night Terrors=== :'''Velma''': Now, let's see who's really behind all this Terrorwood smoke. (''unmasks the Fiend'') :'''Everyone''': Dan Fluunk? :'''Daphne''': That doesn't make any sense. :'''Shaggy''': You seemed like the nicest guy. :'''Scooby''': Why, Dan? Why? :'''Dan''': It's this place. I can't take it! I've been here since I was born. My family's been caretakers of the Burlington Mansion, and then, the Burlington Library, for generations. I was born here, been here every day of my life, all alone up here on this mountain, tending this darn library! Where it always seemed to be snowing and I could never get warm. Never! I hate the cold. I hate the snow! But the library could never be closed. I never got a vacation, not one. I found out about the Terrorwood when I accidentally burned some. So I decided to use it to scare away anyone and everyone that came here. So eventually, no one would come anymore, and I could close the place forever and go someplace warm. And I would have done it, too, been somewhere warm by now, if it wasn't for you meddling snow-bound brats. (''Next scene, outside of Burlington Library, Dan Fluunk is taken into custody by two deputies'') I don't mind going to prison. Not one bit! At least I'll finally be someplace warm! (''laughs hysterically'') ===The Midnight Zone=== :(''In K-Ghoul, Cassidy is speaking through microphone'') :'''Cassidy''': That's why I'm here to tell you the truth. There aren't any real ghosts in Crystal Cove. It's like the open-all-hours gym, it just isn't open all hours. And that's just the tip of the false-berg. Give me time, and I will tell you everything I know about Crystal Cove enough to blow your mind. Aah! (''the wall is exploded interrupting her, a big robot soldier arrives'') You just made a big mistake. Hyah! (''attacks robot throwing discs, it tries punching her, she dodges it'') (''attacks robot with metal stick, it throws lounge chair to her, she dodges it again'') Hyah! (''decapitates robot head with a kick'') Don't think you can come in my house and make a mess. :'''Robot soldier''': (''speaks in German meaning self-destruction and counts'') :'''Cassidy''': Oh, great. :(''Cassidy runs away from K-Ghoul and survives from the explosion by self-destrucing robot soldier'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang arrives with Mystery Machine'') :'''Daphne''': Cassidy! We heard about the explosion! Are you hurt? :'''Fred''': We brought ointment. :(''Cassidy shows her big shotgun'') :'''Scooby''': (''gasps'') :'''Shaggy''': She hates ointment! :'''Cassidy''': Hit the dirt! :(''The gang gets down behind a big robot soldier, Cassidy shoots it'') :'''Daphne''': Cassidy, what's going on? :'''Velma''': Start with why there's a World War II-era robot on the ground. :'''Cassidy''': We can't talk here. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, dude, why were you attacked by a robot? :'''Cassidy''': Actually, I've been attacked by 6 robots. It started last week, and it's getting worse. I would have told you sooner, but you all don't trust me. :'''Velma''': With good reason. You lied to us. :'''Cassidy''': I hear you. But I've changed. Ask me anything, and I will tell you the truth. :'''Daphne''': OK. What's the story with you and Mr. E? Why did you help him? :'''Cassidy''': It's, um, complicated. :'''Daphne''': (''sighs'') Wrong answer. :(''Another robot rises in the ocean'') :'''Velma''': Hold on, gang. Check this out. (''picks up a small sea thing inside robot arm'') Interesting. This is a Lassiter Gringol mollusk. :'''Scooby''': Looks like a snail. Yecch! :'''Velma''': It is a snail, Scooby, a rare sea snail, (''a robot soldier sees the gang, preparing to attack'') whose picky mollusk diet restricts it to a deep Costa marine trench, located right off Crystal Cove. These robots must have an underwater origin in that trench. (''robot soldier arrives in front of the gang'') Aaah! :'''Robot soldier''': (''speaks in German, tries to attack the gang but it's hit by an arrow and hits the wall'') :'''Skipper''': Go back to the deep where you came from, you scurvy tin fish! You rusty scalawags are worse than sea rats! (''to the gang'') Sorry about that, kids. Free brine and cuttlefish on the house. :'''Fred''': Gang, we need to get to that trench. :'''Daphne''': And I know someone who can get us there. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': There she is. :'''Cassidy''': It's over, Miss October Pest. Call off the bots. (''turns the chair and sees the corpse'') Ugh! :'''Shaggy''': Like, that is worse than robots. :'''Frau's corpse''': ''Nibiru.'' :'''Scooby''': Did that thing... just ''whisper?'' :'''Fred''': I heard it, too. It sounded like... :'''Velma''': Nibiru. :'''Daphne''': You think that was her name? :'''Velma''': No. Her name was Frau Abigail Glück. She was part of the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, the mystery-solving gang formed by Burlington in the 1880s. And when I got back from the Burlington Library, someone had pinned a picture of another mystery-solving group on my wall: The Darrow Family. :'''Daphne''': Including us and the original Mystery Incorporated? That makes 4 groups. :'''Velma''': My guess-- there's more. Almost as if ''this'' has all happened before. :(''Pericles and the Kriegstaffebots appear'') :'''Pericles''': Exactly right. Mystery Incorporated. :'''Everyone''': Professor Pericles? :'''Pericles''': Ah! Lovely. I see you have met what's left of Frau Glück. I met Frau Glück in Bavaria in the 1930s. She discovered the missionaries possessed the fifth and the sixth pieces of the Planispheric Disk. She built this lab and a host of robots to aid her search for the pieces. I finally found this lab and continued the Frau's work, building a legion of her Kriegstaffebots to retrieve the pieces for me. My holographic masquerade as Frau Glück bought my bots all the time they needed. And I would have gotten away with eliminating Cassidy if it weren't for you meddling kids. Now that I have everything I need, I can dispose of this place and all of you at the same time. (''takes the piece of the Planispheric Disk'') Farewell, darling kinder. Farewell. (''escapes the underwater lab in an escape capsule'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': We're leaving now! :'''Tub''': I wish! Moby's stuck! :'''Tom''': The only way we can leave is if someone stays behind and keeps the doors open with this manual override lever! :'''Cassidy''': I'll do it. :'''Daphne''': No! :'''Cassidy''': I'll be right behind you. Trust me, I'm a fast swimmer. (''The gang feels a bit shocked'') Go! I'll be fine. Go. :(''The gang, Tom and Tub enter the submarine, Daphne stays to talk'') :'''Daphne''': What we were talking about before, about regret-- you weren't talking about me and Fred. You were talking about you and Mr. E. You loved him once, didn't you? :'''Cassidy''': (''last words'') What E and I had, we lost a long time ago. Don't make the same mistake I did. Now, go! :(''Cassidy keeps the switch that opened the door and the submarine escapes the laboratory destroyed'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Do you see her? :'''Tom''': Don't worry. She's here somewhere. :(''The seal Scooby appears in the water, calling the gang'') :'''Daphne''': Look, gang. He's holding something. :(''The seal Scooby shows the broken helmet'') :'''Daphne''': Ah! (''The gang is sad'') Oh no! No, Fred. (''cries'') :'''Fred''': Easy, Daphne. I'm sure she got out. Right, guys? :'''Shaggy''': Like, yeah. Definitely. :'''Scooby''': She saved us. :'''Velma''': I guess maybe... we were wrong about Cassidy. ===Scarebear=== :'''Daphne''': Where are we? :'''Fred''': It looks like an avocado orchard. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': Ooh. Guacamole. :'''Velma''': Lithium. Toxic. See what it's doing to the Avocados? :'''Fred''': Look, tracks! :'''Scooby''': Huh? :(''The gang looks at the tracks and think they see the Scarebear in the dark, George Avocados arrives'') :'''Fred''': George Avocados? :'''Avocados''': That's A''voc''ados, you delinquent. What are you doing on my land? :'''Shaggy''': Like, dude, this is your land? :'''Avocados''': My family has farmed avocados on this land for generations. Because you horrid children unmasked my dear father as a diamond thief, my reputation has been besmirched, forcing me to work my fingers to the bone so I can keep myself in the wealthy manner to which I have become accustomed. :'''Daphne''': You know, if you're looking to make some money, I bet you could sell that coat for... (''Avocados looks a bit annoyed at her'') Hmm. :(''A small creature falls to the ground, and runs with spider paws to the top of the tree'') :'''Velma''': Uh, is that normal avocado behavior? :'''Avocados''': Destroido! They're ruining my crops, and there's nothing I can do about it! :'''Fred''': Why not? :'''Avocados''': Because, dim young man, Destroido won't even allow me onto their property without a Destroido passport, which only they can issue. Now, get off my land. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mr. E''': ARREST THEM! :'''Mayor Nettles''': Now, hold on, sheriff? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Now, it's time to see who the Scarebear really is. :(''Fred unmasks Scarebear'') :'''Everyone''': Benson Fuhrman? :'''Benson''': That's right. And Fuhrman isn't my real name. It's Hairmore. :'''Fred''': Why did you change it? :'''Benson''': Isn't it obvious, man? Hairmore would give me away as the Scarebear and, duh. All I wanted was to expose Destroido for the sick, soul-destroying evil that it is. Destroido ruins lives and pays the victims to keep quiet. Well, this is one victim who won't remain quiet any longer. :'''Daphne''': How are you a victim? You look fine. :'''Benson''': Do I, pretty scarlet-headed temptress? What if I told you that I am not, in fact, wearing a bear suit, but I'm covered completely in animal hair? :'''Fred''': Except for your face? :'''Benson''': It would be covered, too, square-jawed, handsome young hero, if I didn't have to shave every few hours just to maintain my non-hirsute appearance. You see: I purchased a bottle of gentle rain flower body wash for men, a heavenly scent designed to bring the ladies running. What I didn't know was that the company, Musky Farms, is a division of Destroido, and that there's a side effect. When I contacted Destroido about the product turning me into a hairy bear-man, the company acted as if what had happened to me was nothing. They tried to pay me off. Destroido ruined my life. So I was determined to find evidence that their body wash was toxic. I got the job as head of security and created the Scarebear suit out of taxidermied bear parts. I'm particularly proud of the claws which I purchased from a school for gifted children. I discovered that gentle rain flower was originally marketed as a lawn growth fertilizer that was so toxic, it destroyed an entire town. They didn't even change the formula. I was in the process of uploading the incriminating files to my website when you kids broke into my lab. My plan was to finally expose Destroido tonight at their own charity ball. I wanted to show the entire world what they had done. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling, mutant animal-hating kids. :'''Fred''': Gee. I feel kind of bad that we got in the way. Destroido deserves to be exposed. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Unfortunately, since Destroido is its own sovereign nation, I can't arrest anyone. :'''Daphne''': Oh, Sheriff! (''hugs Sheriff Stone'') You're wonderful! :'''Sheriff Stone''': Huh? :'''Mayor Nettles''': I'll explain it later. :'''Shaggy''': Like, speaking of explaining, we still don't know who set the bomb. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': They do not suspect us of having set the bomb. Excellent. :'''Ricky''': Not so excellent, however, is the fact that it didn't work. That idiot trap fiend found a way to blow up my bomb, and the gang walked free. I would have destroyed my own company to get those Planispheric Disk pieces. These children are proving hard to handle. :'''Pericles''': We must find another way. Perhaps somebody close who can betray the kinder without them ever seeing it coming. :'''Ricky''': Of course. Brad and Judy. :'''Pericles''': Question is, will they be willing to betray their only son? ===Wrath of the Krampus=== :'''Pericles''': Perfect. :'''Judy''': All the pieces of... :'''Brad''': The Planispheric Disk are ours! :'''Ricky''': I believe it's time to put all of it together. :(''The old gang goes to the lair and find that the pieces are gone, only DVD'') :'''Brad''': I don't understand. :'''Judy''': Where are our pieces? :(''Ricky plays the DVD on the DVD player'') :(''Video starts'') :'''Fred''': ''If you're watching this, you're probably wondering what's happened to your pieces of the Planispheric Disk. In a word, you've been scammed, conned, bamboozled.'' :'''Daphne''': ''That's 3 words, Fred, but I think they get the idea. We did this to you.'' :'''Scooby''': ''Yeah.'' :'''Shaggy''': ''And we will be more than happy to tell you how we did it.'' :'''Velma''': ''It was all an elaborate plan masterminded by your very own Freddie.'' :'''Fred''': ''We created Krampus by borrowing Charlie the Haunted Robot and dressing him up in clothes we bought off German gypsies who live in Crystal Cove's haunted forest.'' :'''Velma''': ''As for Krampus moving around, he was being remote controlled by Jason Wyatt, who agreed to help for lenience from the Mayor on his mother's sentence.'' :'''Shaggy''': ''Like, Jason also helped create an invisible aerosol that was used to turn hair white and make it grow long for added effect.'' :'''Fred''': ''We needed to keep you away from the vault. You following us following Krampus was the perfect way to keep you distracted so we could carry out our master plan: Breaking into Mr. E's vault.'' :'''Daphne''': ''Freddie planted a bug on Brad Chiles' clothing so that we could get the code to the vault.'' :'''Scooby''': ''And once we had that code...'' :'''Velma''': ''We could give it to our operative. Someone with intimate knowledge of Mr. E's lair: Hot Dog Water.'' :'''Ricky''': (''surprised'') Hot Dog Water? :'''Velma''': ''I still know how to get in touch with her.'' :'''Shaggy''': ''Like, when Velma told Hot Dog Water what we had planned, HDW was in.'' :'''Scooby''': ''And while we stole the real pieces...'' :'''Fred''': ''You were stealin' fake ones.'' :'''Daphne''': ''The real pieces were instead safely hidden with the one person no one would ever suspect: Fred's fake father, the ex-Mayor Jones.'' :'''Fred''': ''My not-really-my-dad dad may have betrayed us once to get the disk pieces, but when he heard what we were planning, he was more than glad to help us take you down.'' :'''Shaggy''': ''And, like, Mary Anne Gleardan also agreed to help us after the current Mayor offered her lenience on her sentence.'' :'''Scooby''': ''She really wants to go back to the 7th grade.'' :'''Fred''': ''I guess I secretly hoped you guys might not try to steal the pieces from us. But I guess I always knew you would. Which leaves me with only one thing left to say: Real mom, real dad, don't expect me home for dinner. Ever.'' :'''Scooby''': ''And we're taking Nova with us, too. You don't deserve her.'' :(''Video ends'') :(''The old gang is shocked'') :'''Daphne''': Oh. Let's see what it looks like: The whole Planispheric Disk. :(''The gang reassembles the pieces of the Planispheric Disk'') :(''The disk is shining'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, whoa. :'''Velma''': It's beautiful. :'''Fred''': We have the whole thing. That leaves only one question. :'''Scooby''': What do we do now? :(''The next scene depicts the crystal coffin with eyes glowing beneath Crystal Cove'') :'''Crystal coffin's voice''': ''Nibiru.'' (''laughs'') ===Heart of Evil=== :'''Dr. Zin''': (''crying'') I have failed you, my dragon. What bitterness to lose with the Quest-X power source in our grasp. It's all your fault! :'''Dynomutt''': My fault? Gee, what'd I do? I hadn't a clue! :'''Blue Falcon''': Allow me to elucidate, Dog Wonder. It's time you knew the truth. ::(''In the flashback, Radley Crown shoots the gun to Dragon, Dragon grabs him'') ::'''Blue Falcon''': (''narrates'') ''You were once an ordinary but beloved security dog... until tragedy struck.'' ::(''The dog bites Dragon's back that explodes, dog loses consciousness'') ::(''Next scene in the laboratory'') ::'''Dr. Quest''': Radley, I was able to replace most of Reggie's damaged body parts with robotic replacements. Now, for the tricky part: the heart. ::'''Race Bannon''': But doctor, are you telling me you're going to power this dog with the most powerful generator on the planet? ::'''Dr. Quest''': He's a living thing, Race, and deserves no less. ::(''Flashback ends'') :(''Dynomutt chuckles'') :'''Velma''': But Dynomutt wasn't the only cyborg created in that explosion, was he, Dr. Zin? :'''Dr. Zin''': No. Stealing the Quest-X was to be a trial run for my greatest creation: the Dragon battle suit. So, precious was this invention, I trusted only one person to test it: my own daughter. The accident fused the suit to Jenny and has been feeding off of her life force ever since. How did you know? :'''Velma''': The Dragon registered a heat signature on Mr. E's scanners. :'''Fred''': But why the obsession with Dynomutt? :'''Dr. Zin''': Not the dog, the Quest-X inside! With that to power the Dragon suit, my Jenny would survive. But now... :'''Blue Falcon''': I had no idea. :'''Dynomutt''': Oh, my goodness gracious! Why didn't you say so? Never to busy to help a fellow cyborg with a jump start. :(''Dynomutt uses a power cable to the Dragon suit'') :'''Blue Falcon''': Dog Wonder, no! The feedback could destroy you both! :'''Fred''': It's gonna blow! :(''The Dragon suit almost exploded with a flash, it raised and opened itself to release Dr. Zin's daughter, Jenny, she collapsed, Dr. Zin helped her'') :'''Jenny''': Father? :'''Dr. Zin''': Jenny! :'''Scooby''': Aww! Isn't that sweet? (''giggles'') :'''Dr. Zin''': Robot dog, meddling kids, man in bird suit, you have my thanks. I have spent so many years pursuing my evil plan of global domination, I sometimes forget the beauty of a simple act of selfless kindness. (''Fred and Daphne smile at each other'') (''mocking'') It's a pity you must all now be destroyed as this island explodes with the fury of 1,000 suns! (''Both Dr. Zin and Jenny laugh'') :'''Jenny''': Good one, dad! Let's motor. :(''Dr. Zin and Jenny escape with their jetpacks'') :'''Dynomutt''': Well, for an evil, crazed scientist, he certainly has a unique sense of humor. :'''Shaggy''': Let's get out of here! :'''Scooby''': Yipe! :(''The gang with Blue Falcon and Dynomutt escape the island'') ===Theater of Doom=== :'''Brad''': But-- :'''Ricky''': Stifle it, Chiles. Pericles has the floor. :'''Pericles''': So, the kinder still have the disk. You couldn't even manipulate your own son? Pathetic. :'''Brad''': Fine. We failed. :'''Judy''': That's right, Brad. :'''Brad''': Not now, Judy. (''to Pericles'') Aren't you the smart one who should have seen through Fred's ruse? :'''Pericles''': Don't push me, older pretty boy. I want those pieces, and since you and your sweet, dumb bride failed me, it is up to you to recover them before people get ''hurt''. (''his paws break the table part'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': Alright, Velma, start singing. :'''Velma''': Uh. ''[sings; Friar Serra and His Donkey, Porto while playing the Acoustic Guitar. Daphne gasps]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Now, let's see who this ghostly monk really is. (''unmasks Serra's face'') :'''Everyone''': George Avocados? (''The crowd is surprised'') :'''Avocados''': That's A''voc''--ah. Oh, forget it. That's right. It is me. :'''Fred''': Yes! Finally! I knew you'd be the villain eventually. :'''Avocados''': All right, you got me. And I suppose you're wondering, after so many prior misdirects, why now. :'''Daphne''': Actually, no. Not really. We kind of always knew you were evil. :'''Avocados''': Hmmph! Okay, fine. Then my tale should not surprise. It all began after I failed in politics. I had no choice but to go into the family business: Farming avocados. Everything was going so well until you mystery brats blew up my crops. I then tried my hand at fortune telling. But when that endeavor failed... I fell back on the A''voc''ados legacy of stealing other people's things. I located the A''voc''ados diamond, stolen by my father. Turns out, it actually was disguised as a door knob, not on a door in Crystal Cove, but on a door at the Burlington Library. When I found out it was among the artifacts sent here for the production. I took a job as a janitor. I needed everyone to stay clear of the basement to give me time to look. I hid the body of Friar Serra in a closet and assumed his identity. Knowing this town's gullibility, I knew a ghost story would give me room to hunt. And I would have succeeded, TOO, if it weren't for Vincent van Ghoul. :'''Vincent van Ghoul''': Moi? :'''Velma''': So the brown residue that was left behind... :'''Avocados''': That's right. Guacamole! Now, I want my diamond! (''tries to grab the diamond staff but Daphne grabbed it'') :'''Daphne''': Let me see something. This crystal is the diamond! :'''Shaggy''': But, like, hold on. If you were the friar, how did you appear at the rehearsals? :'''Avocados''': I didn't. I assumed that was you meddling kids trying to trick me into revealing myself. :'''Everyone''': Huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Friar Serra''': You are still in danger. The story of Crystal Cove is a lie. The donkey never tried to help save the town, but to destroy it. There were 4 of us and Porto in the Fraternum House Mysterium, a group of mystery-solving friars. We encountered a conquistador. He told us a tale of great evil before his madness got the best of him, and he vanished in the night, he left behind two oddly-marked disk pieces. We quickly became obsessed with the pieces. We realized that there was an evil at work. We attempted to destroy the pieces to rid us and the town of evil, but the evil would not allow us. The evil manipulated Porto. Porto set out to destroy the town. We chased Porto to the alligator-infested swamps, outside of town. Porto was dragged away by the alligators, but not before I was able to retrieve the one piece he took. The other piece, thankfully was lost at the bottom of the ocean when Crystal Cove sank into the sea. It was up to me, now, to hide the last piece. Beware, Nibiru is coming. This has all happened before, it begins with the animal. Always the animal. Heed the warning of the alligators! ''The dog dies!'' (''Friar Serra's corpse crumbles to dust'') :'''Scooby''': (''gulps'') "The dog dies"? Is he talking about me?! ===Aliens Among Us=== :'''Scooby''': EEB. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sheriff Stone''': Don't get too close. They still might have some alien brain-stealing items ready to deploy. :'''Velma''': That might be true if they were really aliens, but they are, in fact, (''unmasks the Grey, Nordic Alien and Reptoid'') Traveler O'Flaherty, Sheela O'Flaherty and Connor O'Flaherty. :'''Fred''': Ah, usually, we all recognize the villain and shout out his name in unison. :'''Daphne''': Yeah, Velm. Mind cluing us in? :'''Sheriff Stone''': I know all the criminals in Crystal Cove, and these jerks aren't ringing a bell. :'''Shaggy''': Like, you had a wanted poster for them on your wall. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Oh, please. Nobody ever pays attention to those. What is this, the old west? :'''Traveler O'Flaherty''': Were that it were, boyo. Then perhaps we could've earned an honest living. When I was a wee lad, we couldn't even afford peat for our fire. So I had to lift it. It turned out I was a right good thief, but then I discovered there were things I could steal other than coal, and wouldn't you know it, my kids had an aptitude for the family business as well. We started getting a reputation for our business, and there were our faces splashed all over the universe. Aye. 'Twas then we got the idea for the costumes because who'd ever say they saw an outer space creature stealing a flat-screen television set? I found out about the Blakes purchasing the Pangaea. Seemed like it was right up our alley, and we'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you frittering snappers. (''after a short silence'') Meddling kids! :'''Sheriff Stone''': But I know what I saw: the aliens, the cornfield, my nose chip! :'''Velma''': Actually, Sheriff, during your hypnotic regression, Shaggy and Scooby smelled something on your breath. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': Bad clams. :'''Velma''': The clams induced a hallucination that made everything seem real. :'''Daphne''': What about the lights on the road? :'''Velma''': A weather balloon that got loose from the army. :'''Fred''': And the Mystery Machine fritzing out? :'''Velma''': Too many people turning on their air conditioners at the same time created an electromagnetic pulse that shut the Mystery Machine's engine down. :'''Daphne''': The crop circle? :'''Velma''': A farmer writing "I love you", to his wife for their anniversary. :'''Daphne''': Aw, we must've been standing in the "O" of "love". :'''Fred''': Or the "O" of "you". :'''Daphne''': It was the "O" of "love", Fred. :'''Sheriff Stone''': So I wasn't repeatedly abducted and experimented on by aliens? :'''Fred''': Doesn't seem so, Sheriff. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Then I'm no longer a victim. And you, O'Flaherty family, are under arrest for THIEVERY AND IMPERSONATION OF INVADERS FROM OUTER SPACE, AND you're going away for a ''long'', long time. ===The Horrible Herd=== :'''Shaggy''': So, like, I don't understand. The Planispheric Disk led us to dig up this crazy old flintlock. Does that mean this is the treasure? :'''Velma''': No. It might be worth a little something as an antique, but the cursed treasure of Crystal Cove is supposed to be immense beyond all imagining. :'''Daphne''': Like love. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Excuse me, Mr. farmer. What happened to your farm? :'''Farmer''': Farm? I ain't got no farm. It's gone, all of it. That horrible herd ate everything except the silo. (''to Martha'') Martha, we are leaving. :'''Shaggy''': Like, did I just heard you say hear? I mean, uh, ha ha ha, hear you say herd. :'''Fred''': Herd of what? :'''Farmer''': Skull cattle. Ugliest darn things. :'''Velma''': Guys, look at these weird hoof prints. They don't make any sense. :'''Farmer''': If you really want to get all nosy about it, you should talk to the other farmers in the area. The herd paid them a visit, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': So you're saying that this herd of skull cattle also destroyed your farms? :'''Sullen female farmer''': What's the matter with you? You got potatoes in your ears, huh? :'''Fred''': Huh? Nope, not today. I once had luminescent swamp moss stuffed in my ears when I was trapping toads as a baby. But it came out. Eventually. :'''Velma''': Ay. Please, go on. :'''Sullen female farmer''': Like a plague of locusts they was. Coming out of the night, they devoured everything in their path. :'''Male farmer''': I reckon she's right. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': I mapped all the attacks on all the farms in the area, and look, they create an outline of a magnifying glass just like the one the old Mystery Incorporated used as their symbol. It's centered around Destroido. :'''Daphne''': Cute little moo cows turned into horrible monsters. There's only one mind evil enough to come up with something like that. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Professor Pericles. :'''Daphne''': Velma, is there anyway we can spy on the old Mystery Incorporated? Didn't you say Hot Dog Water hooked us up somehow at Destroido? :'''Velma''': I almost forgot. Hot Dog Water left us a back door into the Destroido security system when she was there stealing the Planispheric Disk pieces. :'''Fred''': Can you get more volume? :(''Velma gets the high volume of the laptop'') :'''Ricky''': ''You have gone too far this time, Pericles. Too far!'' (''The next scene depicts the conversation of Ricky (Mr. E) and Professor Pericles'') This macabre herd of skull cattle you've created is costing millions of Destroido's money. '''''My''''' money. And I currently have 28 of my best scientists listed as presumed missing. :'''Scientist''': (''heard in the other room'') No, NO! AAAAAHH! :'''Ricky''': Make that 29. :'''Pericles''': Ricky, one cannot make a genius omelet without breaking a few worthless eggs. Right, Brad and Judy? :'''Brad''': You said it, Professor Pericles. :'''Judy''': He's a genius, right, Brad? :'''Brad''': He sure is, Judy. He sure is. :'''Pericles''': And make no mistake, Ricky, I will break any egg that gets in my way: Ed Machine, Cassidy Williams, or perhaps even you. My herd of skull cattle is perfect in every way. I have crossbred cows, piranhas, and bees to create ultimate monsters. And I'm their master. My precious creations exist for one purpose: ''to devour Crystal Cove.'' My herd of male drones shall level this city to the ground, leaving nowhere for the Mystery kinder to hide the Planispheric Disk. :(''The next scene depicts that the gang listened Pericles's evil plan'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, he's gonna destroy Crystal Cove! :'''Fred''': Come on, gang. We have to warn the town. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Gang, this is all our fault. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Isn't it always? :'''Daphne''': Maybe we should just give Pericles the Planispheric Disk. :'''Shaggy''': Like, no way. A treasure beyond all imagining in the clutches of an evil psychotic parrot? :'''Velma''': Would be devastating on a global scale. Shaggy's right. There has to be another way. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Well, you Mystery dorks better decide quick because those nasty cow thingies sealed off the town completely. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': Soon Crystal Cove will cease to exist and the Planispheric Disk shall be ''mine.'' THEN no one will ever stand in my way AGAIN. (''laughs'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Nettles''': All the roads leading in and out of the city have been eaten. They're cutting us off. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Perhaps as-- as-- a species our time is over. It's evolution, people. We should all submit to the herd. I think I'll see if they're hiring any Sheriffs. :'''Mayor Nettles''': Bronson, although I find your immediate surrender oddly endearing, you're not going anywhere. Kids, there must be a way to stop these things. :'''Daphne''': I think I have it. It's all the little pieces, all the clues. Especially the fact that Professor Pericles referred to all the skull cattle as male drones. And then there's the sweet cheese. :'''Shaggy''': I think I see where you're going with this, Daph. If Scooby and I can eat all that honey sweet cheese, those things will starve and we'll save the town. :'''Scooby''': Count me in. I'm ready to eat my way to victory. :'''Daphne''': That's not what I was thinking. They're like bees. The herd is all male drones. So there must be a queen in the cow hive at Destroido. :'''Velma''': Daphne, that's so genius I should have thought of it. They'll be totally protective of their queen. If we could capture the queen cow... :'''Fred''': We could use her to lead the herd away from the town. :'''Mayor Nettles''': Saving Crystal Cove. :'''Sheriff Stone''': I don't know. I don't know. I think my plan of letting the herd enslave humanity ''is pretty darn good.'' :'''Fred''': My fake father mayor dad used to keep a helicopter here at city hall. :'''Mayor Nettles''': I still have it. Quick, it's our only chance. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Nettles''': You did it, kids. You saved the town. :'''Daphne''': I feel a little sorry for those skull cattle. It's not their fault they're horrible genetically engineered mutations. :'''Fred''': Look. (''The horrible herd rise in the ocean'') Those things are part fish, remember? They can swim. :(''The horrible herd swim away from Crystal Cove'') :'''Velma''': Whoa. What have we done? :'''Shaggy''': You mean, like, other than release unnatural super predators into the ecosystem? :'''Sheriff Stone''': It's best to just walk away from this one, kids. Just... walk... away. :(''Everyone walk away from the horrible herd in the ocean'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Scooby and Shaggy are searching Nova'') :'''Scooby''': Nova. Nova! Nova! :'''Shaggy''': (''finds Nova lying on the ground'') Scooby-Doo, over there! :(''Scooby grabs Nova alive and injured'') :'''Scooby''': She's alive. Come on, we have to get her to the hospital. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': ''My'' plan, ruined by those '''meddling kinder.''' They will pay. All of them. They will ''pay''. ===Dance of the Undead=== :'''Martha Quinn''': Hang on. I've prepared a slideshow on every music group from the last 60 years. (''shows the gang with a slide projector'') Rude Boy and the Ska-tastics. Poor Rude Boy could never quite ride the fame train the way he wanted, so it's said that he turned to voodoo magic to further his career. He cast love spells on the audience. He cursed other bands. Once, he even cast an enchantment of never-ending pain on a synthesizer. Real crazy stuff. Rude Boy always said he would come back from the grave. And now, it looks like he has. :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! :'''Scooby''': Doesn't anybody ever stay dead around here? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mayor Nettles''': These citizens were found at the Tiki Tub. They're dancing, and they can't stop. :'''Daphne''': That dance is called skanking. It's how you're meant to dance to ska music. And you said dance class was a waste of time. :'''Velma''': Oy. Doctor, what's the prognosis? :'''Doctor''': If we can't find a cure within 24 hours, they will dance themselves into a permanent cataleptic state. They will become zombies for the rest of their lives! :(''The gang is shocked'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''The Zombies Rude Boy and the Ska-tastics arrive and play their hit at the top of City Hall'') :'''Zombie Rude Boy''': (''laughs'') :'''Fred''': It's Rude Boy! :'''Velma''': Quick, cover your ears! :(''Martha, Ian and the gang covered their ears except Shaggy and Scooby'') :'''Zombie Rude Boy''': Dance! :'''Martha Quinn''': We have to fight this MUSICALLY! We need ultimate POWER CHORD! :(''Martha, Ian and the people start dancing unwittingly'') :'''Fred''': I'm fighting it, but I can't resist their catchy use of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues! :'''Daphne''': Shaggy, Scooby, why isn't it affecting you? :'''Scooby''': I'm a dog. Music is just noise to us. :'''Shaggy''': And, like, you've heard me sing. I'm totally tone deaf. :'''Velma''': Shaggy! Scooby! You're our only hope! It's up to you to save the town! It's up to you to save us! :(''Fred, Daphne and Velma start dancing. Shaggy and Scooby are shocked'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, zoinks! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, what do we do, Scoob? Everyone in town is a total ska zombie, and we have to save them! But, like, we don't know anything about music! :'''Scooby''': We don't, but we know people who do. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': (''watch the Hex Girls poster'') The Hex Girls! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Now, let's see who's really behind the evil ska music. Rude Boy is actually... (''unmasks the Zombie Rude Boy'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Rude Boy? :(''Shaggy, Daphne and Velma unmask the three Zombie Ska-tastics'') :'''Ian Hope''': You're alive! But the plane crashed 30 years ago. :'''Velma''': Was an elaborate hoax, wasn't it, Mr. Rude Boy? :'''Rude Boy''': Oi. You blighters got it in for me, right. But yeah, we faked the whole bloomin' thing. All I ever wanted to do was play ska and be super rich and super famous. But apparently, it just wasn't in the tarot cards, maybe the fact that we only had one song had something to do with it. So me and ''me'' mates, the Ska-tastics here, we decided we'd fake our own deaths. Then, we could write the perfect song and return to take the music world by storm. :'''Martha Quinn''': I don't understand, Rude Boy. Why did you wait 30 years to make a comeback? :'''Rude Boy''': Ah, don't be such a muppet, Martha Quinn. We planned to be only gone one year, but writing the perfect song took bloomin' forever. By the time we'd cracked it, ska wasn't popular anymore. But everyone loves the undead. So, we began dressing as zombie mogs, riding our undead scooters and wearing polycarbonite-lined skull masks to hide our identity. :'''Velma''': So, in the end, desperate for success, Rude Boy and the Ska-tastics unleashed a dancing plague on the world using an inharmonic chord with special frequencies designed to induce post-hypnotic suggestion to sell their music. :'''Fred''': Just as I thought, but didn't say. Dance them away, Sheriff. We are done here. :(''Rude Boy and the Ska-tastics walk dancing into the police car'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Scooby is visiting Nova at the hospital'') :'''Scooby''': Oh, Nova, it's getting weirder and weirder. Things aren't as easy to explain anymore. It feels like something is going to happen, something ''bad''. What do you think, Nova? (''watches the heart monitor and slowly, it stops'') Nova? Nova? (''Nova's eyes open and Scooby giggles and is surprised when she rises up'') :'''Nova''': Nibiru. Nibiru is coming. (''lies back in bed and closes her eyes'') ===The Devouring=== (''Pericles trying to access Destroido computer and is denied access'') :'''Pericles''': ''Eagle and Gänseblümchen.'' Ricky! Ricky, what have you done? (''Ricky Owens looking at pictures of Cassidy Williams'') I've been locked out of the system. :'''Ricky''': I know. I did it on purpose. You're out of control Professor Pericles, and I'm putting a stop to it. I'm in charge. I built Destroido from the ground up while you were cooling your beak in prison. It's time that I..- (''Pericles slaps Ricky across the face'') :'''Pericles''': You are in charge of nothing, Ricky Owens. You have never been anything other than an idiotic human mascot, a shoulder for me to perch upon. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': All the food is gone. :'''Shaggy''': It ate, like, everything. :'''Daphne''': What ''was'' that thing? :'''Rick Spartan''': That is the Gluten Demon. If we don't stop it, it'll devour the entire food supply and starve us all, until there's nothing, and no one left alive in Crystal Cove. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Now let's see who the Gluten Demon really is. (''unmasks the Gluten Demon'') :'''Fred, Daphne, Velma, Cachinga and Rick Spartan''': Francilee Jackson! :'''Velma''': Not a big surprise after the work that Cachinga, Daphne, and I did. Francilee's cooking show wasn't taped before a live audience. She made the tape herself, allowing her to work the special effects and adding in the Gluten Demon during editing. :'''Cachinga''': Plus, her stage name is Francilee Jackson, but her birth certificate lists her as Agatha Juniper Schildenheimer. :'''Daphne''': As AJS, she signed those manifests. She rented that secret warehouse. :'''Velma''': And she has a strange food allergy to all things healthy. Which is why she reacted to Cachinga's salad lunch so insanely. :'''Daphne''': The only thing we don't know is why. :'''Francilee''': Oh, y'all, it's so simple. I needed a big comeback. After my cornbread recipe was revealed to have no corn in it, I was ruined. Ruined! My only chance was to open my own bakery where I could serve up my new breakout dish: The double bacon mayonnaise butter-stuffed pasta surprise with buttered bread sauce! Any cook worth their kosher sea salt knows the legend of the Gluten Demon. I dressed up like that and started destroying every restaurant in town so there'd be no competition when I opened mine. And I would have done it, too, been a huge success again, if it weren't for all y'all bread-hating health fanatics! :'''Deputy''': That's it, boys. Let's roll her away. :(''The 2 deputies roll Francilee to the police car'') :'''Francilee''': (''the bowl rolls away from her'') My bowl! My precious bowl! NO! My bowl! It's mine! MINE! :(''Daphne grabs the bowl'') :'''Cachinga''': It's ancient maya by the look of it. :'''Daphne''': (''reads the bowl'') ''TERCERO LLAVE''. It's the third key. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ricky''': So you see, Professor Pericles, it's over. You're not the boss here. I am. And you're out of the group. :'''Pericles''': (''tortures Ricky with by pressing the remote control button on Cobra larvae'') Oh, Ricky, Ricky, my loyal Brad and Judy told me of your little mutiny. So, last night while you were asleep, I put mutated cobra larvae in your spine. Every time I press this button, a little venom is released. So, as you can see, or feel, I'm still very much in control. You do as ''I'' say. First, we steal the Planispheric Disk from the kinder, then ''we'' destroy them. (''laughs hysterically'') WE DESTROY THEM! (''laughs again'') ===Stand and Deliver=== :'''Fred''': Now let's see who this mysterious woman stealer really is. :(''Velma unmasks Dandy Highwayman'') :'''Everyone''': The librarian? :'''Shaggy''': Like, seriously? But you're not even British. :'''Scooby''': I'm so confused. Why? :'''Librarian''': It's simple, really. You spend a life reading about other people's exciting adventures and never, never, never have one of your own. It's awful. (''sadly'') I'm so lonely. :'''Velma''': Jinkies. How did I miss that one? :'''Librarian''': I never really had any friends growing up. All I had were my books. For years I stayed in my room and read about incredible adventures, other people's adventures. Then, I got an idea, I was going to become the Dandy Highwayman. I was going to be the king of adventures and adored by women everywhere. I studied how to do an English accent. I incorporated a motorcycle helmet into my costume's hat and practiced my motorcycle skills for hours and hours. Then, I discovered something unimaginable: the key to a woman's total admiration and devotion. All you have to do is pay attention to them when they're talking. CRAZY, isn't it? It wasn't until I started to moderate the book club that I learned how to listen. From there, I actually became interested in what women have to say. Before long, I was fully engaged in their desires and feelings. I was living in the ''dream''. And I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling romance killers. :'''Sheriff Stone''': I'm not buying it for a second. You put some kind of voodoo MAGIC SPELL on them, you did. :'''Librarian''': Never. I just listened, that's all. Except when the going got tough. I had a little help. (''uncovers the earplugs'') These earplugs were the only magic I used. :'''Sheriff Stone''': I knew it! I knew there was some kind of trick involved. Listening to women? Who ever heard of such a thing?! :(''Mayor Nettles and Daphne arrive'') :'''Daphne''': Jeepers! The librarian? I kind of feel bad for him. You know, he never really abducted the wives. They said they went with him willingly because he was mysteriously charming and-- :'''Sheriff Stone''': We know, we know. The whole listening and paying attention thing. We get it already. Whatever. :(''Sheriff Stone and deputy take the Librarian into custody'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Scooby is in the strange dream'') :'''Scooby''': Ohh! :'''Dancing Man''': Scooby-Doo, your time has come. She is here. :(''Nova arrives'') :'''Scooby''': Nova? :'''Nova''': I am not Nova. I've only borrowed her body so that I may bring you an urgent message. Scooby-Doo, your life is in danger. :'''Scooby''': Huh? :'''Nova''': I am of the Anunnaki, interdimensional beings that visit the planet earth every few thousand years. We arrive at a time call Nibiru, when the barriers between our worlds grow weak. The Anunnaki have a great history of helping humans, but we have no physical form and must inhabit animals. This is why some animals, our descendants, can talk and others cannot. But not all Anunnaki are kind and good. There are evil ones. And the most evil one of all is imprisoned beneath Crystal Cove and must not be set free. You must undo it, Scooby-Doo. Undo it all. Save yourself. Save your friends. Save the world. :(''Scooby wakes up in the real world'') :'''Scooby''': Hmm? Hmm? Duh! The cursed treasure is evil. Evil! We have to destroy it! :(''Velma, Fred, Daphne and Shaggy look at Scooby, a bit shocked'') ===The Man in the Mirror=== :'''Mayor Nettles''': Sorry to bother you so early, kids. But the neighbors have been calling in constantly with reports of unearthly moaning, inhuman howling, blood curling screams... :'''Shaggy''': In other words, same old same old. :'''Fred''': You can count on us, Mayor Nettles. :'''Daphne''': We'll see if there's anything mysterious going on here. :'''Mayor Nettles''': (''leaves'') Thanks, kids. :'''Velma''': Come on, come on, let's go! Let's get this over with. :'''Fred''': After we're finished here, we need to relocate the Planispheric Disk. :'''Scooby''': We'll do it. :'''Shaggy''': Good idea, Scoob. Yeah, you and I will re-hide the disc while you guys check out the scary house. :'''Daphne''': You're out of luck, Shaggy. Remember? Fred hid the Disk last time. And he's the only one who knows where it is. :'''Velma''': Oy, can we hurry? Please? :'''Fred''': Okay, let's get started. But first, well gang, it looks like we got another... :'''Daphne''': Mystery on our hands! Oh, Fred, we're such soul mates. We're finishing each other's sentences. :'''Fred''': Come on, let's... :'''Shaggy, Velma and Scooby''': Split up and look for clues? :(''The gang splits'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, I guess that means we're ''all'' soul mates, haha. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Fred finds a strange mirror'') :'''Fred''': Aaah! Ugh. Look at those creepy eyes! And that disgusting yellow hair! And the horrible tentacle around its neck! Makes me wanna hork. Oh. (''looks his reflection'') It's me! Phew, that was close. (''tries to leave but his reflection moves differently, he noticed, then moves to make reflection normal'') Hmm. (''turns around and his reflection pulls him into the mirror'') AAAAAAAAHHHH!! (''drops his lantern'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Fred''': Hello, friends. :'''Daphne''': Oh, Freddie. Thank goodness. :'''Evil Fred''': This place was a total bust. Nothing scary here. So let's get to school before we're late. Punctuality is an important facet of learning. Right, Daphne? :'''Daphne''': Um, right, Fred. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Fred wakes up in a destroyed and apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Fred''': (''looks at the mirror'') What happened? (''leaves the destroyed house'') Gang? Gang! Daphne! (''tries to call Daphne in his cell phone and reads'') "No Signal Anywhere!". (''walks the destroyed Crystal Cove street'') Anybody! Hello! Hellooooo! (''finds skeletons anywhere'') No. No! This is all wrong. Crystal Cove has much greener lawns and fewer skeletons. Velma! Shaggy! Scooby Doo, where are you?! <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Scooby''': (''whimpering'') :'''Evil Fred''': Does the dog need walking? :'''Scooby''': I walk myself, Fred. :'''Evil Fred''': (''shows the Canine Grumpets'') Perhaps you would enjoy a canine crumpet. :'''Scooby''': Hmm. That is not a Scooby snack, Fred. Humph! :'''Evil Fred''': What difference does it make? (''Scooby is shocked'') I'm sure they all taste the same. :'''Scooby''': (''grumbling'') You eat them, then. :'''Evil Fred''': What was that, Scoobert? :'''Scooby''': Uh, nothing. Nothing. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Fred''': (''finds the Mystery Machine'') There! (''hugs it'') Ahh! There she is! (''looks the Mystery Machine's wreckage'') I don't understand any of this. What happened to Crystal Cove? What happened to the people? What happened to your groovy paintjob? (''Mystery Machine's door falls down and Fred finds the Mr. Traples half ruined'') Mr. Traples. What happened here? Please, tell me what's going on. (''finds the clothes of Velma and Shaggy in the floor'') Velma. Shaggy. Scooby. They're... They're... Oh, no. No. It's impossible. How could it get any worse? (''The green scarf appears and flies in front of Fred'') Daphne's scarf. No! It can't be! It can't be true! DAPHNE! '''''NOOOOOOOOOO!!''''' <hr width="50%"/> :(''Fred is sitting outside the destroyed City Hall'') :'''Fred''': (''sadly'') Daphne. :'''Unknown woman''': Fred? :'''Fred''': Cut it out, Mr. Traples. It's not funny you imitating Daphne like that. :'''Unknown woman''': Freddie, is that really you? :'''Fred''': Daphne? :'''Old Daphne''': (''shows up'') Fred, where have you been? :'''Fred''': (''shocked'') Aah! :'''Old Daphne''': Oh, Freddie, don't look at me. I'm hideous! :'''Fred''': Daphne, is... is that really you? :'''Old Daphne''': Of course it's me, silly. And ''jeepies'', you found my scarf. (''puts the scarf on her neck'') I've been looking all over for this. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': I still don't understand. I came out of that mirror and everything had changed. Why is everyone a skeleton and why are you-- :'''Old Daphne''': Do I really look so awful, Freddie? :'''Fred''': Uh... no. :'''Old Daphne''': When you didn't come back, something went crazy with the Planispheric Disk. Velma said it created a vortex around Crystal Cove and sped up time here. We searched everywhere for it. You hid it too well. Decades whirred by in weeks. Everyone aged quickly and one by one, turned to dust until only I was left. :'''Fred''': I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I... I'm just a really good hider. :'''Old Daphne''': You've got to change it back. Right up till the end, Velma said the Planispheric Disk could reverse the process. Where did you hide it, Freddie? We have to get that disk. :'''Fred''': Then that's what we'll do. Daphne, Mr. Traples, load up. We've got a future to change. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Old Daphne''': The F-F-Fearatorium Food Emporium. Shaggy and Scooby loved this place. It was hidden here the whole time? :'''Fred''': Yep. Come on. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Evil Fred''': Everybody out. :'''Shaggy''': Like, this is more like it. (''chuckles'') The F-F-Fearatorium Food Emporium makes me, like, f-f-famished. :'''Scooby''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. :'''Evil Fred''': (''grabs Shaggy and Scooby hardly'') What's wrong with you two? You're like bottomless pits. We're not here to indulge your munchies. We're here for that Planispheric Disk. :'''Daphne''': Freddie, you're the one who hid it here. I don't understand why you don't know where it is. :'''Evil Fred''': Oh, you don't understand? Intellect isn't your strong suit, huh? What about you? Got any smarts in there behind those eye goggles? :'''Velma''': Hmmph. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Old Daphne''': Freddie, we've looked everywhere. It's not here. :'''Fred''': Hey, wait a minute. You're right. This wasn't the last place I hid the disk. The trip through the mirror must have jangled my memory. Now I remember. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Evil Fred''': Never mind, change of plans. This isn't where I left it after all. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Old Daphne''': The Arcane-A-Rama Movieplex? You hid the disk here? :'''Fred''': Sure. I would think you of all people would realize why this place would be so important to me, don't you, Daph? :'''Old Daphne''': Because we had our first date here, Freddie. :'''Fred''': I can always count on you to remember stuff like that. Come on. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Evil Fred''': It's got to be here somewhere. Keep searching. :'''Shaggy''': What's the score? :'''Evil Fred''': The score, Norbert, is that we're gonna find that disk tonight. :'''Shaggy''': I meant the score to the baseball game. That you're listening to. On that thingymabob. :'''Evil Fred''': Heh. I knew that. :'''Velma''': It's not Norbert. It's Norville. And nobody calls him that. It's always Shaggy. :'''Evil Fred''': I suggest less nitpicking and more searching. (''talks through headphone'') Wait. What? It's not here. Get back in the van. :(''Scooby thinks Fred is crazy'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Old Daphne''': The kennel of the horrible hounds? :'''Fred''': Shaggy used to board Scooby here when he and his folks went on vacations. I'm pretty sure I put the Planispheric Disk here. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Velma''': Fred, this is all very bizarre. :'''Evil Fred''': You don't know the meaning of the word, child. (''grunts'') I just remembered where I actually hid the disk. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Fred''': Here we are. This time for sure. :'''Old Daphne''': The education board of Crystal Cove? Why? That's so random. :'''Fred''': I'm surprised at you, Daphne. Education is very important to me. Isn't it, Mr. Traples? (''plays with Mr. Traples'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Evil Fred''': I don't know. Look in all the desks, I guess. I'll check out the superintendent's office. (''leaves the gang'') :'''Velma''': Gang, something is definitely wrong here. (''writes the blackboard with chalk'') I mean, is it me or is Fred acting even stranger than usual? :'''Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne''': It's not you. :'''Velma''': Maybe if we can retrace our steps, we'll see a pattern. (''writing'') F-F-Fearatorium Food Emporium. Arcane-A-Rama Movieplex. Kennel of the horrible hounds. Education board of Crystal Cove. (''marks the first and second 4 letters from top to bottom'') :'''Daphne''': "Fake Fred"? :'''Velma''': I knew it. :'''Scooby''': Then who is he? :'''Shaggy''': And who sent the message? :'''Velma''': My guess? The real Fred. Wherever he is, he's probably in life-threatening peril. :'''Daphne''': And in the clutches of some hideous creature. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Old Daphne''': Where is it, Fred? Where is it? :'''Fred''': Take it easy, Daph .At least we now know it's not here. :'''Old Daphne''': You don't understand, Fred. We have to find that disk now. It's almost midnight. They'll be waking up soon. :'''Fred''': What? Who? :(''The skeletons rise themselves'') :'''Old Daphne''': The skeletons. The skeletons walk after midnight. Run! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Old Daphne''': Fred Jones, you remember every trap you ever built. Why can't you remember where you hid the most important relic in the universe? :'''Fred''': Trap. That's it. Now I remember. (''starts the engine of wrecked Mystery Machine'') It's at the old abandoned factory. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the present version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Evil Fred''': Aha! Now that's more like it. :'''Shaggy''': Should I just keep driving around in circles, Mr. Fred? Oh, sir? (''drives the Mystery Machine in a circle'') :'''Evil Fred''': No, the old abandoned factory, hippie. And floor it. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the apocalyptic version of Crystal Cove'') :'''Old Daphne''': This isn't the way to the factory. :'''Fred''': I'm willing to bet it's the way to the factory. The real factory. :'''Old Daphne''': (''a bit disappointed'') Fred, we're headed straight for that wall. It's solid brick! :'''Fred''': Is it, or is it... :(''Fred accelerates faster the Mystery Machine into the wall'') :'''Old Daphne''': Aah! Uhh! :(''The Mystery Machine breaks through the fake wall'') :'''Fred''': Fake. As fake as everything else in the old abandoned Crystal Cove movie studio. And as fake as you, Daphne. :'''Old Daphne''': How...How did you know? :'''Fred''': Two big ones. The real Daphne would never forget that our first date was at the Trap Expo 3000. But the biggest mistake was right at the start. :'''Old Daphne''': What? :'''Fred''': You said jeepies. Daphne says jeepers. Velma says jinkies. Nobody says jeepies. I mean, that's just plain silly. Once I knew you were fake, I figured Crystal Cove must be phony, too. It could only be the old movie studio made to look like a ruined town, complete with animatronics skeletons. Obviously this was all about the location of the Planispheric Disk. Convincing me that I needed to save my friends from a post-apocalyptic future was the most obvious way to get me to tell you where I hid it. It's exactly what I would have done. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In Steelco Industries, the gang and Evil Fred arrived'') :'''Evil Fred''': Fan out. Search every inch of this place until we find that disk. :'''Shaggy''': Well, like, if you remember hiding it here, like, dude, where is it? :'''Evil Fred''': Well, the exact location slipped my mind. (''leaves the gang to search the Planispheric Disk alone'') :'''Velma''': We can't let that fake Fred get his hands on the Planispheric Disk. :'''Scooby''': What do we do? :'''Shaggy''': Like, we do what the real Fred would do. We trap him. :'''Velma''': Agreed. But it's got to be before he gets his hands on... :'''Evil Fred''': The Planispheric Disk. I found it! I found it! :'''Velma''': Okay, never mind. :'''Daphne''': Now that you've got it, what are you going to do with it? Fake Fred. :'''Evil Fred''': Ahh, well done. You finally figured out I'm an imposter. So what? I'm taking the Planispheric Disk, and who's going to stop me? You? You? :'''Fred''': NO! (''arrives'') Me. I mean you. Me. I mean me. You me. I-- Aw, heck. You get the idea. (''starts fighting Evil Fred'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Don't just stand there, Shaggy. Get in there and help Fred. :'''Shaggy''': Which one? :'''Daphne''': Uh, the good one. :'''Old Daphne''': (''shows up'') Be careful, Fred. Don't hurt him. :(''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne look at Old Daphne'') :'''Daphne''': AAAAHH! NO! NO! :'''Scooby''': (''to Old Daphne'') Daphne, you look terrible. You should get more sleep. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Fred''': (''takes the Planispheric Disk'') I'll never give up this disk. You'll never beat me. :'''Fred''': (''throws the chain to Evil Fred's legs'') I don't need to beat you. I just need you to stay put. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Fred''': Get me out of this. He's the fake. :'''Shaggy''': They're, like, identical, right down to the ascot. :'''Scooby''': Which one's the real Fred? :'''Daphne''': (''to Evil Fred'') Freddie, how do you feel about me? :'''Evil Fred''': What do you mean? You're my love, Daphne. I'm crazy about you. :'''Daphne''': (''to Fred'') And you? :'''Fred''': Uh, gosh. Gee, Daph, you know, I-- well, I guess aside from traps and solving mysteries, um... er, my stomach's getting hurty. :'''Daphne''': Oh, Freddie. It's you! (''kisses Fred'') :(''Velma shuts down the magnetic machine, Evil Fred and Fred fall down to the floor'') :'''Evil Fred''': Well, if you're so smart, then who am I really? :'''Fred''': You're one of the most heartless criminals Mystery Inc. has ever faced. Aren't you, dad? (''tries to unmask Evil Fred but realizes it's not a mask'') :'''Evil Fred/Brad''': Ow! It's not a mask, you imbecile. I had plastic surgery to look like you. You would have spotted a mask too quickly. :'''Fred''': I don't know what you think you were doing. You're supposed to be my father. But how could you try to impersonate me when you know absolutely nothing about me? :'''Velma''': If he's Brad, that makes you Fred's sneaky criminal mom, Judy. (''tries to unmask Old Daphne but realizes it's not a mask either'') :'''Old Daphne/Judy''': Ouch! Watch it. I had plastic surgery, too. :'''Velma''': I know. :'''Shaggy''': Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves? (''chuckles'') But, like, why? :'''Scooby''': Yeah. Why? :'''Brad''': For the treasure. What else? It was the genius mind of Professor Pericles that thought up the whole plan. Wasn't it, Judy? :'''Judy''': That's right, Brad. While we went under the knife, Professor Pericles had Mr. E arrange for the Crystal Cove studio to be changed into an exact replica of the town. :'''Brad''': Except more end of the world-ish, obviously. :'''Velma''': I hate to be the one to point this out, but that's just crazy. :'''Pericles''': (''shows up'') Is it, Velma? Or is it so brilliant you cannot begin to fathom its true genius? :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred''': Professor Pericles? :'''Fred''': You failed, Professor. You'll never get your filthy talons on this disk. :'''Pericles''': On the contrary, Frederick. You are going to hand it over to me, along with my associates, your dear parents, or else I will destroy the one thing you care about most. :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! :'''Daphne''': (''2 Kriegstaffebots grab her'') Freddie! :'''Fred''': Fine. You win. Take it. :'''Pericles''': Excellent. (''takes the Planispheric Disk'') ''Auf Wiedersehen'', you beautiful kinder. :(''2 Kriegstaffebots throw Daphne into Fred and leave'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Freddie, I'm so sorry. Pericles got away with the disk because I got grabbed by robots. :'''Fred''': Don't worry, Daph. The important thing is that you're back safe and sound. And you look good again. :'''Scooby''': Only now, Pericles has the Planispheric Disk. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Pericles places the Planispheric Disk in a special location in Destroido'') :'''Pericles''': I'm coming for you, master. I'm coming to set you free. ===Nightmare in Red=== :'''Fred''': Now let's see who this Monstrous Freak really is. :(''The Monstrous Freak weakened by a light transforms into conquistador'') :'''Fred''': It's...it's... Who is that? :'''Velma''': If I'm not mistaken, it's El Aguirre, the captain of the Spanish conquistadors. :'''Daphne''': El Aguirre? But why? :'''Fernando El Aguirre''': ''La pura verdad'', the truth is simple. I did not want you to discover how to destroy the Evil Entity buried deep beneath Crystal Cove, in its ''Caja Demonio''. :'''Shaggy''': Like, that doesn't make any sense. I thought you'd be the first person who'd want that thing destroyed. :'''Fernando El Aguirre''': No! Do you not see? If you destroy the Entity, myself and my men will be set free from this ENDLESS CURSE. We should never be set free. We must pay for all the horrible atrocities we committed while in service to the Entity. :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Oh. :'''Fernando El Aguirre''': I can still hear their screaming. All the screams of the innocent ones. No. No! We must pay forever! We can never be set free! :'''Shaggy''': Okay. Like, the old Spanish dude is a little ''loco'' in the ''cabeza''. :'''Annunaki Nova''': Do not fret. All can be undone. All can be forgiven. :'''Dancing Man''': Yes. Yes, all can be forgiven. :'''Fred''': That reminds me. Uh, be right back. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the real world'') :'''Professor Horatio''': They're not gonna make it. I'll never be whole again. It's over. All over! (''sobbing'') Unless... <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the dream'') :'''Annunaki Nova''': It was centuries of your Earth time ago. They called themselves Ma Cuben Sun Macul, which means the Hunters of Secrets. They were the original group manipulated by the Evil Entity. There were more to follow. The evil one has forever been manipulating hapless souls throughout history in hopes they would set him free from his crystal sarcophagus. The Mystery Incorporated that preceded yours, the Darrow Family's Mystery Fellowship, the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, the Mystery Gang with their bull Tiny, the Alianzo Mysterio and their pet skunk El Fuchy, and Fraternitas Mysterium. Always 4 humans and an animal. The Mayan group of friends, the Hunters of Secrets, were the very first. They were the most pure. They realized they were being manipulated and instead of setting the evil one free, they were about to destroy it with the '''Heart of the Jaguar'''. Alas, they were interrupted by El Aguirre and his men who came and took the crystal sarcophagus away thinking it to be a great treasure. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the real world'') :'''Professor Horatio''': You're the smart one, Velma. It's time to go. Give my other half the talisman. Complete the bridge and I can bring you all home. Velma, listen! Hear me! Time's up! :(''In the dream'') :'''Velma''': (''moving the talisman'') Jinkies! We're out of time! <hr width="50%"/> :(''Fred and Daphne go to Sitting room'') :'''Fred''': (''touches the shoulder of Fred Jones Sr.'') I want you to know that whatever happened, I'm not really mad at you. Despite the whole stealing me as an innocent baby and lying to me my entire life, you were a great dad. I forgive you. You've always been and still are the only real father I've ever know. :'''Fred Jones Sr.''': Leaping late lilies, Fred. I am so proud of you. Even if you don't break the spell, even if you can't turn it all around by destroying that Evil Entity, I want you to know that having you as my son was the absolute best part of my life. You were always the best part of me. :(''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Dancing Man arrive'') :'''Velma''': Freddie, we have to go. :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, like, time's up. If we don't leave now, we don't leave ever. :(''Velma gives the talisman to Dancing Man'') :'''Dancing Man''': Ha ha ha! I am going home. Ha ha ha! :(''The gang takes each member's hands in circle'') :'''Annunaki Nova''': Find the Heart of the Jaguar, Scooby-Doo. It is the only way you shall defeat the evil that is buried deep beneath Crystal Cove. Use the Heart of the Jaguar. <hr width="50%"/> :(''In the real world, the gang wakes up'') :'''Professor Horatio''': (''receives the best part of Dancing Man'') I'm whole again. I'm whole! And I couldn't have done it without you meddling kids. You beautiful, brave, wonderful meddling kids! (''dances'') :'''Velma''': Jinkies. After all we've been through, only to find out that we've been manipulated by some Evil Entity? Is that the only reason we're together? :'''Shaggy''': Like, yeah. Maybe we don't even like each other. :'''Fred''': Gang, wh-- what are we gonna do? :'''Scooby''': The Heart of the Jaguar. We have to find the Heart of the Jaguar. ===Dark Night of the Hunters=== :'''Shaggy''': It's time to see who this ancient jade mask wearing weirdo really is. (''unmasks Priestess'') :'''Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred''': Professor Andelusossa? :'''Angie Dinkley''': Enrique! :'''Velma''': He was staring us in the face all along. When the men in the village thought I was my mom, it was clear that no one was able to forget her over all these years. Then there were the vines. This plant isn't native to the Yucatan. Only someone with a background in gardening could have cultivated it and made it grow so quickly. Professor Andelusossa's first job was as a gardener. Finally, the vines on the boat had been tied to the wheel. The boat had been scuttled to make it look like the Professor had been attacked. :'''Angie Dinkley''': But why, Enrique? :'''Prof. Andelusossa''': For love. Angie, when you left me that summer decades ago, you took my heart with you. Every night seems like I dreamed of you. When you called asking about the Heart of the Jaguar, I knew it was my only chance to lure you back, and find out if you still cared for me. :'''Fred''': So you decided to test her love by crushing her with fast-growing killer plants! Wow. That's exactly what I would have done. :'''Daphne''': Oh, Freddie. That's so romantic. In your usual, unique kind of way. :'''Prof. Andelusossa''': And I would have gotten away with it, too, if... (''sighs'') if you had really loved me. :'''Angie Dinkley''': Oh, Enrique, sweetie, that was all years ago. There's only one man I ever truly loved, and that's my husband, Mr. Dinkley. :'''Mrs. Andelusossa''': (''arrives'') Enrique, you are not a man! You're a fool! (''spits saliva to Fred's head'') :'''Fred''': Daw! Ugh! :'''Mrs. Andelusossa''': Mrs. Dinkley, you have won. You can have him! :'''Angie Dinkley''': But I don't want him. :'''Unknown woman''': (''arrives'') Then I'll take him! :'''Angie, Mrs. Andelusossa and Prof. Andelusossa''': Huh?! :'''Daphne''': Who are you? :'''Unknown woman''': Tomina Kasanski. Call sign: Ice princess. I've been tracking you ever since you left Crystal Cove. :'''Shaggy''': Like, why? :'''Mayor Nettles''': (''arrives'') Because I asked her to. :'''Fred and Daphne''': Huh? :'''Angie Dinkley''': Huh? :'''Scooby''': Mayor Nettles? :'''Mayor Nettles''': Lieutenant Kasanski is an old friend of mine from Fighter Weapons School. (''she and Tomina Kasanski clapped their hands'') :'''Velma''': But why are you following us? :'''Mayor Nettles''': Well, it's kind of embarrassing, but three days ago, I had a nightmare that told me you were in trouble and that I had to come to the Yucatan to help you get some spear thingie. :'''Scooby''': The Heart of the Jaguar. :'''Mayor Nettles''': Yeah, that! I'm supposed to help you get it back over the border and home to Crystal Cove. :'''Velma''': Okay, that's it. I give up. :'''Tomina Kasanski''': Grab your prisoner and let's haul. I got a c130 waiting in an air strip 30 clicks from here. (''takes Prof. Andelusossa into custody'') :'''Fred''': Well, gang, let's go home. We have an Evil Entity to destroy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Angie Dinkley''': Dear, is something wrong? :'''Velma''': Well, it's just that, everything that's been happening lately, I've always thought I could count on logic; deductive reasoning, facts. But all that's gone. I never believed in the supernatural like you did, and... :'''Angie Dinkley''': Oh, sweetie, you were never wrong. Believe in yourself. Everything will work out just fine. (''Velma hugs her'') Now, come on. I've been wearing the same girdle for five days in the jungle, and I really need to get a change of clothes. ===Gates of Gloom=== :(''The gang and Mayor Nettles drive the Mystery Machine in the city, with no people and the damaged freeway'') :'''Daphne''': What happened to the street? :'''Fred''': It looks like some kind of earthquake. :'''Shaggy''': Like, zoinks. Where is everybody? :(''Sheriff Stone runs to the Mystery Machine, scared, Fred stops driving'') :'''Sheriff Stone''': THEY'RE GONE! EVERYONE! GOOOOOONE! :(''Everyone is shocked'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Focus, people. There are lives at stake. Something has taken my mom and the rest of Crystal Cove. :'''Scooby''': It even took my Nova from the hospital. :'''Daphne''': What kind of horrible monster would snatch a sweet little dog in a coma? :'''Scooby''': I know. Nova! Nova! (''sobbing'') :'''Shaggy''': Quick, Scoob. Drown your sorrows in this pint of triple fudge cookie dough caramel chip. (''gives the cookie to Scooby'') :'''Scooby''': Thanks, Raggy. I needed that. :'''Velma''': As I was saying, I suspect this mystery is connected to the Evil Entity buried under Crystal Cove. :'''Shaggy''': Like, hold on. You said you didn't buy into all this stuff. :'''Velma''': Well, I ''still'' don't. But my mom helped me see the light and be more open. Maybe this is all science fiction, but a lot of science fiction turns out to be science fact. They laughed at Jules Verne when he wrote about submarines and going to the moon. :'''Shaggy''': Like, they used submarines to go to the moon? :'''Scooby''': I guess so. :'''Velma''': One thing is clear, this isn't the boogeyman, a vampire, werewolves, or an evil leprechaun. This is an extra dimensional intelligent being we're facing. It's real. :'''Shaggy''': Wow, Velm. Like, that must have been some talk with your mom. :'''Velma''': It made me remember that the advanced sciences have long accepted the possibility of other dimension. Now I guess things have gotten a lot less theoretical. :'''Daphne''': So you think having the evil intelligence under Crystal Cove could be why this town that is so weird? :'''Velma''': Yes. And the weirdness is escalating (''turns on the projector'') because the time of Nibiru is upon us. I discovered that my computer model of the Planispheric Disk perfectly mirrors the planets in our solar system. You can see they're coming into direct alignment. Plus, there is a tenth planet: Planet "X". It's getting closer, about to come into alignment behind Pluto. It will cause a massive gravitational disruption not seen in 5,000 years. The time of Nibiru happens in two days. And it's this disruption that makes the fabric between dimensions of time and space extremely weak. That's why the evil thing buried beneath Crystal Cove must be destroyed. We know that the Heart of the Jaguar is supposed to be able to destroy this Evil Entity and undo all of its evil. :'''Fred''': We also know the Spanish conquistadors used the Planispheric Disk to map the Entity's double-triple secret location. :'''Daphne''': Plus, the Planispheric Disk showed us the location of four keys. :'''Shaggy''': Like, the old pistol, the helmet, the mortar bowl thingy, and a piece of old sail cloth. :'''Daphne''': It feels like we know a lot and nothing at the same time. :'''Shaggy''': Like, welcome to our world. (''chuckles'') Right, Scooby-Doo? :'''Scooby''': Yeah, we also know nothing. And we love it. :'''Shaggy and Scooby''': (''dancing'') We know nothing and we love it! Yeah! Ha! Yeah! Ha! We know nothing and we love it! Yeah! Ha! Yeah! Ha! :(''The ground starts to shake'') :'''Fred''': Shaggy, Scooby, stop! Don't move! :(''The ground opens the hole'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Good thing I had Jason Wyatt help me install this sound amplifying antenna in my binoculars. Let's listen in. :'''Ricky''': ''There's been no sign of her for weeks.'' :(''The next scene depicts that Ricky is looking at the photo of Cassidy'') :'''Judy''': Who are you looking for? :'''Ricky''': Cassidy. :'''Brad''': Maybe she finally gave up. :'''Ricky''': No, she would never give up. She's gone. :'''Pericles''': Of course she's gone. Anyone who crosses me gets ''eliminated.'' :'''Judy''': Um, Professor Pericles, you promised you would surgically alter me back to my stunning self by now. I'm so old like this. How long do you plan on making me suffer? :'''Pericles''': I don't have time for such things. The treasure is almost within our grasp. :'''Brad''': Besides, I'm the one who's suffering, not you, Judy. :'''Judy''': How are you suffering, Brad? :'''Brad''': Well, I'm the one who has to look at you all day, '''every day.''' :'''Judy''': (''gasps'') That was very hurtful, Brad. :'''Brad''': I'm sorry, Judy. I mean, ''grandma''. :'''Judy''': Well, at least I'm not walking around with that outrageous chin, Bradley. :'''Ricky''': Look at you, you're all coming unraveled. The closer we get to that treasure... (''The next scene depicts that the gang is hearing the conversation of the old gang with amplifying binoculars'') ''...the more the curse takes over. Cassidy was right. She was right all along.'' :'''Shaggy''': Like, the old Mystery Incorporated dudes are totally losing it. :(''The next scene depicts that Pericles lights the lamp, pointing the Planispheric Disk'') :'''Pericles''': ''Zeek! Zeek! Die Zeit wird kommen!'' The time has almost arrived. (''The lamp light passes through the holes in the Planispheric Disk pointing the right place'') Focus all the digging on that spot. Und Ricky, when the entrance is found, have my Kriegstaffebots destroy all the workers. They have outlived their usefulness. :'''Ricky''': You monster! I'm not your trained monkey. I won't do it. I won't be a part of this madness anymore. (''Pericles tortures Ricky with by pressing the button on Cobra larvae'') Aah! Aah! Aah! Yes, pro--master. Whatever you command. I will-- have... (''The next scene depicts the gang is hearing Ricky's words, shocked'') ''...the Kriegstaffebots destroy them all. Not one person from Crystal Cove will be left alive.'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': (''looks at the Mystery Machine spare wheel'') Oh, my gosh, gang. What have I done? :'''Daphne''': What you had to do. What you always do. Turn traps into a fighting chance to live. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': All my years of searching to find this door! I have done it! It will lead us to the treasure and more. Soon, very soon, the world as we know it will never be the same again. ''Niemals!'' (''puts the Planispheric Disk in the gate, making it open'') :'''Brad''': Professor, won't the kids just follow us in? :'''Pericles''': Yes, they will. ''Und'' I need them too. I need Scooby-Doo. If I'm to take control of the great power below, the dog must be destroyed at just the right moment. Come! My destiny awaits. ''Und holen sie mir die Schachtel!'' (''To Kriegstaffebots'') :(''The old gang and Kriegstaffebots enter the cave'') :(''The gang keeps the artifacts including Heart of the Jaguar'') :'''Fred''': All right, gang, now let's see where this uber mystery really leads. Ready? :'''Daphne''': Ready. :'''Shaggy''': Like, ready. :'''Velma''': Ready. :'''Scooby''': Professor Pericles is gonna regret the day he ever messed with ''Scooby-Dooby-Doo.'' :(''The gang enters the cave'') ===Through the Curtain=== :'''Evil Entity''': (''narrates'') Soon... soon I will be free! The time of the Nibiru is nearly at hand. The planets are coming into alignment, working toward my release, as are you. Even though you know it not, I forged you. You are my proudest creation. So come now, children of Nibiru. Be strong and set your master free so that I may bathe this world in ''fire''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Brad''': Judy, I have to say, this dark cave is doing wonders for your complexion. :'''Judy''': Really? It's so nice of you to notice. Thank you, Brad. :'''Brad''': You're welcome, Judy. In this light, I can barely see your multitude of wrinkles and your mouth full of decaying teeth. :'''Judy''': (''gasps'') That's it, Bradley! (''starts fighting Brad'') :'''Pericles''': Stop it! You two are behaving like children. :(''Kriegstaffebot grabs Judy after kicking Brad'') :'''Ricky''': The cursed treasure is tearing us apart. I wish Cassidy were here to see you all go to pieces. :'''Pericles''': Oh, Ricky, you always lacked the stomach for greatness. (''to everyone'') Forward! ''Marschieren!'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': (''watching the old gang and Kriegstaffebots through binoculars'') They're on the move. :(''The gang is walking after the old gang'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, Scooby-Doo, old pal, this is it. (''grabs the burger sandwich from the backpack'') :'''Scooby''': The last hamburger. :'''Shaggy''': We've already eaten all of our snacks. I was saving this for an emergency. :'''Scooby''': This ''is'' an emergency. That's the last hamburger. (''Shaggy eats the burger sandwich in half and he eats the other half'') Ahh. Looks like we're roughing it from here, Raggy. <hr width="50%"/> :(''The old gang and Kriegstaffebots came to the giant gate'') :'''Pericles''': Beautiful (''speaks in German'') :'''Brad''': I'm sorry to ask, Professor Pericles, but-- :'''Judy''': What are we waiting for? :'''Pericles''': The kinder. I know they are out there following us. Give them a minute. They will soon understand their part in all this. But they must hurry. The planets are nearly in full alignment. The time of Nibiru is almost at hand. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Shaggy and Scooby are watching the giant gate through binoculars'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, dig those crazy symbols on those Gigantico doors. :'''Scooby''': (''terrified'') The dream world. :'''Shaggy''': The what world? :'''Velma''': The dream world. The keys. Everything we saw, it finally makes sense. :'''Daphne''': Professor Karen did say that the dream world would show us what we needed to find. :'''Fred''': And it showed each of us the keys. :'''Velma''': And what they were for. :'''Daphne''': The fourth key is the element of air. :'''Scooby''': The third key is the element of Earth. :'''Fred''': The second key is the element of water. :'''Velma''': And the first key is the element of fire. Each one of the 4 keys opens a gate leading down. That first gate is covered with alchemy symbols for air. :'''Daphne''': But if that's the first gate, why is it attached to the fourth key? :'''Fred''': Because it's in reverse. :'''Shaggy''': Of course it is. Like, why would any of this make sense? :'''Velma''': It makes perfect sense, Shaggy. We're working outside in. (''shows the 4 keys from the backpack'') This is the fourth gate. The next one will be the third. And then the second. And then ultimately the first. :'''Daphne''': And then... the Evil Entity. :(''Shaggy and Scooby are shuddering'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': (''watches the pocket clock'') All right, you Mystery Incorporated. I know you're out there and you have the key. :(''The gang hides behind the rock'') :'''Ricky''': Even if the Mystery Incorporated kids are out there, what makes you think you can make them do what you want? :'''Pericles''': (''chuckles'') Because, my dear Ricky, everyone has their weakness. (''speaks German'') :(''Kriegstaffebot grabs Marcie out of trunk as a hostage'') :'''Velma''': Marcie! No! :'''Pericles''': Good kinder. Now, come cooperate and I will not harm the Hot Dog Water. :'''Fred''': (''looks at the fourth key'') I'll do it. I'll go. :'''Daphne''': No, we all go together. No splitting up. Never again. :(''Fred smiles at Daphne'') :(''The gang walks near the first gate'') :'''Fred''': Mom, dad. :'''Brad and Judy''': Son. :'''Pericles''': Ahh, the fourth key. I know you had found them. Here, allow my Kriegstaffebots to open the gate. It is very dangerous. :(''Kriegstaffebot tries to take the fourth key'') :'''Fred''': I don't need your help, Pericles. :'''Pericles''': As you wish, Frederick. :'''Fred''': (''to the gang'') If this gate is what I think it is, and I think it's a big fat trap, it might work in our favor. Hold on to something. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Marcie grabs Pericles hardly'') :'''Pericles''': Ahh! What is the meaning of this? Put me down, you horrible girl. :'''Marcie''': Not a chance, you nasty little monster. (''to Kriegstaffebots'') Move and the bird gets it. :(''Marcie tightens Pericles in her arm'') :'''Pericles''': (''to Kriegstaffebots'') (''speaks German'') Back off! No one move! :'''Marcie''': You guys go. Do what you have to do. I've been trapped in that box long enough to hear everything Professor Creepy Bird has in mind. Find that Entity and destroy it. I'll hold them off as long as I can. Go. Now! :'''Velma''': No, Marcie. I won't. I can't. :'''Marcie''': You have to. The world needs you. Don't worry about me, V. I'll see you when this is over. (''The gang leaves Marcie, the old gang and Kriegstaffebots behind'') One more move and I pluck this ugly little chicken. (''takes Pericles's feathers'') :'''Pericles''': Ow! (''to Kriegstaffebots'') Nein! Nein! Stop! :'''Marcie''': Heh. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Marcie''': (''walks back with Pericles in her arm'') (''last words'') E, I guess I expected more from you. :'''Ricky''': So did I, little girl. So did I. :'''Brad''': (''gives Judy his belt'') It's all in your hands now, Judy. :(''Judy uses Brad's belt as a whip to trip Marcie up, freeing Pericles'') :'''Marcie''': Ow. (''groans'') :'''Brad''': Silly child. We were springing impromptu traps before you were born. :'''Judy''': That's right, Brad. :'''Brad''': Thank you, Judy. :(''Kriegstaffebots prepare to shoot Marcie with her last shocked look'') :(''In the Air Dimension the Kriegstaffebots' guns sounded'') :'''Scooby''': (''hears the sound of guns'') (''whimpers'') :'''Velma''': (''sadly'') Come on, Scooby. We have to keep going. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ricky''': You make me sick, Pericles. I wish I had never saved you all those years ago. :'''Pericles''': Hmm. Do I care? No. :'''Ricky''': Maybe you should care. :'''Pericles''': (''shows the remote control'') Perhaps you should care more about the poisonous cobra larvae implanted in your spine. ''Now'', let's move. <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang walks to the second gate'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, the second gate. :'''Fred''': (''looks at the balance rock'') Hmm... Somebody hand me the mortar bowl. :'''Shaggy''': Like, Fred is really in his element here, huh? :'''Daphne''': Pun intended. :(''Shaggy gives Scooby the mortar bowl, then Scooby gives it to Fred'') :'''Fred''': Earth. <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang walks to the third gate amid a wall of water'') :'''Daphne''': The third gate. :'''Velma''': And the second key. Water. :'''Fred''': (''grabs the conquistador's helmet'') Looks like there's only one place to fill it up. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': Like, dudes, where are we? :'''Daphne''': And for that matter, where the heck have we been for the last two keys? :'''Velma''': We're traveling through different dimensions. An intriguing feature of string theory and advanced physics is that it predicts extra dimensions. In classical string theory, the number of dimensions is not fixed by any consistency criterion. :'''Shaggy''': What is she talking about? :'''Scooby''': You're asking me? :'''Velma''': The Planispheric Disk not only maps 3-dimensional space, but the fourth dimension of time and beyond. Worlds between worlds. :'''Shaggy''': Like, dude, that's all well and good... :'''Scooby''': Even if we don't understand a word of it. :'''Shaggy''': But, like, how are we gonna find the last gate? :'''Scooby''': Yeah. All I see is water. Endless water! :'''Velma''': Jinkies. Shaggy and Scooby are right. :'''Daphne''': We're trapped in the middle of nowhere WITH NO WAY OUT! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pericles''': Looks like the kinder are having fun, and they're ''all'' still alive. :'''Judy''': That's our Fred. :'''Brad''': A chip off the old block. :'''Judy''': Blockhead, more like. :'''Brad''': Thank you, Judy. (''annoyed'') Hey! :'''Ricky''': You're insane. ALL of you. None of us are going to make it out of this alive. NONE OF US! (''laughs'') And I'm glad. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Shaggy''': I can't take it! I can't take it! :'''Scooby''': It's okay, Raggy. :'''Shaggy''': No, Scoob, it is not okay! We're totally lost at sea. No, wait. Correction! Lost on an interdimensional sea, alone and adrift between universes. Dudes, life is completely turned upside down. :'''Velma''': Upside down. Shaggy Rogers, you're a genius. :'''Shaggy''': Like...like, huh? :'''Velma''': It's not up, it's down. The gate is down. :'''Fred''': Oh. (''puts his head in the water and realizes that the next gate is below, then emerges'') Hey, look. :(''Daphne, Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne put their heads in the water then emerge'') :'''Daphne''': Jeepers. You think the fourth gate is down there? :'''Fred''': Only one way to find out. Come on, gang. (''jumps into the water'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang walks to the fourth gate'') :'''Daphne''': The last gate. :'''Fred''': This is it. We made it, gang. :'''Velma''': I don't like what's waiting for us beyond that door. :'''Scooby''': Evil. :'''Shaggy''': Pure evil. That we must destroy with the Heart of the Jaguar. :'''Scooby''': Let's get this done. :'''Velma''': Wait. If things prove to be bigger than us, I just want to tell you guys-- :'''Daphne''': No. Nothing is bigger than us. It's the 5 of us. We can do this ''together''. :(''The gang join hands'') :'''Shaggy''': Here, let me do the honors. :(''Fred gives Shaggy the old flintlock pistol'') :(''Shaggy nervously shoots the flintlock at the gate, the bullet ricochets around the place'') :'''Fred''': I don't get it. The key didn't work. :'''Daphne''': That's because the flintlock itself isn't the key. (''puts the flintlock near the gate, the flint shines'') Look, it's the flint. :'''Fred''': Daphne, you figured it out, you do the honors. :(''Daphne slots the flint into an opening on the lock and the fourth gate opens'') :'''Shaggy''': Whoa. This place is like mega creepy and scary. Is it too late to turn back? :'''Scooby''': Yes. Way too late. <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang finally walks to the cursed treasure discovered'') :'''Scooby''': (''grabs the Heart of the Jaguar'') Hmm? What do I do now? :'''Evil Entity''': (''locked in a crystal sarcophagus'') Open the sarcophagus. :'''Shaggy''': It--it spoke. :'''Evil Entity''': Turn the lock. Set me free. :'''Fred''': We aren't here to free you. :'''Velma''': We're here to destroy you. :'''Evil Entity''': Destroy me? Never. You have no choice. This is your destiny. Everything you have done, you have done for me. I brought you together as I brought all those together before you. I made you into friends. Forced you into a group. I am the author of your every hope and dream. All to this purpose: ''you set me free.'' :'''Shaggy''': Like, is this--this evil telling the truth? Like our whole life, our friendship has been a lie? :'''Fred''': Maybe everything we think we know, none of it is real. :'''Daphne''': No. I--I refuse to believe it. (''takes Fred's hand'') My love for Fred is real. I know it. And I love you all. You're my best friends. :'''Velma''': Daphne's right. Every word this thing spits out is a lie.

(''The old gang arrives with Kriegstaffebots'') ...because I will. :(''Scooby prepares to destroy the sarcophagus with the Heart of the Jaguar, but Pericles snatches it with his paws'') :(''Kriegstaffebots hold the gang and Pericles opens the sarcophagus'') :'''Evil Entity''': The time of Nibiru has come. (''comes out of the sarcophagus and laughs'') ===Come Undone=== :'''Nova''': (''narrates'') A beginning is a very delicate time, much more so an ending. Know that this is the year 10,191. We, the Annunaki, travel between layers of the many universes. We came to help you grow, evolve. But not all of us are good. Some are evil wanting to feed on your energies. This most evil of all is imprisoned in a crystal sarcophagus between worlds so he can cause no harm. This evil desires to devour worlds. He manipulated groups of humans to set him free: The Mayan Hunters of Secrets and their jaguar, Spot, The Fraternitas Mysterium and their donkey, Gordo, The Alianzo Mysterio and their skunk, El Fuchy, The Mystery Gang with their bull Tiny, The Benevolent Lodge of Mystery and their orangutan, Mr. Peaches, They Mystery Fellowship and their cat, Whiskers, Mystery Incorporated and their parrot, Professor Pericles, and the current Mystery Incorporated and their special companion, Scooby-Doo. The time of Nibiru has come. The moment the planets align, the evil one's strength will be the greatest Free in your world, he will grow more powerful every second. He will destroy your city, your planet, your universe. Only one stands in his way: Scoobert "Scooby"-Doo. (''Evil Entity laughs'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Entity''': (''laughs'') Free! Free! I have been trapped too long. (''laughs'') (''grabs Scooby-Doo'') :'''Fred''': Hey! What are you doing to Scoob? Hey! :'''Scooby''': Shaggy, help! (''Fred and Shaggy tried to save Scooby but the Evil Entity hit them away from him'') :'''Evil Entity''': Do not fight. The dog must die and be reborn as a vessel to my darkness. You should give me form. I shall walk this world a giant. :'''Scooby''': Never! (''breaks free'') :'''Pericles''': Nein! Nein! Forget the dog! Consume me. Give me the power! :'''Evil Entity''': So be it. :(''The Evil Entity seizes Pericles and pours its essence into his body, causing him to grow into a dark green giant'') :'''Pericles''': (''laughs'') After all these years '''I am unstoppable!''' (''laughs again'') :'''Shaggy''': Dude! Somehow that parrot just keeps on getting creepier! :'''Pericles''': (''last words'') Und I shall finally be rid of the Mystery Incorporated kinder! (''The Evil Entity proceeds to subdue his consciousness'') Aah! Something's wrong! What--WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?! '''AAAAAAHHHH!!''' :(''The Evil Entity kills Pericles, mutating the parrot's body into a massive squid-like monster with horns and laughs'') :'''Ricky''': Professor Pericles? :'''Evil Entity''': The bird is gone. I am flesh now! '''Flesh!''' :'''Judy''': (''last words'') Oh, mighty one! :'''Brad''': (''last words'') We are ready to serve. :'''Evil Entity''': Good, for I hunger. (''consumes Brad and Judy alive to increase its own strength, the gang is totally shocked'') I am your master now. (''The Kriegstaffebots answers in German language'') Bring the humans closer so that I may feast upon them and grow powerful enough to break my bonds. (''The Kriegstaffebots aim at the gang'') :'''Daphne''': I think now would be a very good time to-- :'''Fred''': Run! :(''The gang and Ricky flee but Shaggy stops'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, Scooby-Doo! Where are you?! (''starts running'') :'''Evil Entity''': (''laughs'') :(''Scooby-Doo attempts to destroy the Evil Entity with the Heart of the Jaguar, it breaks'') :'''Scooby''': Uh-oh! :'''Evil Entity''': (''laughs again, almost grabbed Scooby-Doo while he's running away from him'') You cannot escape! You are powerless against me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Entity''': You underestimate my strength. I should consume you and grow in power! :(''The gang looks at each other, the Kriegstaffebot aims at them, Ricky decapitates it with a sword'') :'''Daphne''': Way to go, Mr. E. :'''Ricky''': Run, kids! Get out of here now! :(''The Evil Entity grabs Ricky'') :'''Velma''': Hang on, E! We'll save you! :'''Ricky''': (''last words'') It's too late for me, Velma. :'''Velma''': No! :'''Ricky''': Save yourself! :(''The Evil Entity consumes Ricky alive'') :'''Evil Entity''': Now it is your turn! (''tries to grab the gang but its tentacles are blocked by a shield of blue energy that appears around them'') :'''Shaggy''': Like, what was up with that? :'''Evil Entity''': I need more. I shall feast upon all of Crystal Cove! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Entity''': (''laughs'') This world shall be mine. Then I shall devour galaxies. (''laughs again'') (''opens the Crystal Sarcophagus and releases an army of evil Annunaki minions'') Come to me, my minions. Come to me through this portal. Gather all from this place so that I may feed and grow strong! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': We have to do something! :'''Shaggy''': Yeah, but like, what? :'''Velma''': What about the spear, the Heart of the Jaguar? :'''Scooby''': It's broken. It's just a stick. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Evil Entity''': I bring oblivion to this world! (''laughs'') :'''Scooby''': It's the end. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Scooby-Doo receives a vision from Nova's Annunaki'') :'''Scooby''': Nova. What do I do? The Heart of the Jaguar is broken. :'''Nova''': The spear was never the Heart of the Jaguar. The Heart of the Jaguar is something else, Scooby-Doo. At the right moment when the heart is clear, you will know what to do. :'''Scooby''': Seriously, just tell me what to do? :'''Nova''': You will know. You will see. You will feel. (''disappears'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Evil Annunaki minions bring the gang to the Evil Entity'') :'''Evil Entity''': My power approaches the infinite. Then I will absorb you and your friends. I will be '''UNSTOPPABLE!''' (''tries to consume them once again, only to be thwarted by the same barrier'') :(''Scooby recalls Nova's words'') :'''Nova''': ''You will know. You will see. You will feel.'' :'''Scooby''': Wait, that's it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Scooby''': The Heart is ''us''. It's always been us. :'''Velma''': Jinkies! Scooby's right. It can't devour us now and it couldn't touch us earlier, remember? :'''Daphne''': Not when we stood together. :'''Fred''': The 5 of us. :'''Velma''': Our friendship. :'''Daphne''': Our love for one another. :'''Shaggy''': Like, that's the ''true'' Heart of the Jaguar. :'''Scooby''': And that is something that monster can never take away. Something it can never defeat. It's now or never. '''Let's do this.''' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': Wait. Think it through. The Entity is still drawing power from the crystal sarcophagus. :'''Daphne''': It's some kind of portal between dimensions. :'''Fred''': That means if we shatter it, then we cut that thing's lifeline. :'''Evil Entity''': (''still consuming people'') They must be stopped! Bring me them! :'''Fred''': Gang, as a team. '''Go!''' <hr width="50%"/> :(''The gang takes the remains of the Heart of the Jaguar spear and races towards the sarcophagus while Annunaki minions try to stop them'') :'''Fred''': Daph!

Nice to see you out and about on such a lovely day. :'''Velma''': Sheriff Stone? :'''Shaggy''': Like, dudes, where did that pint-sized posse come from? :'''Sheriff Stone''': Mayor wife and I are taking the kids down to the beach. :'''Daphne''': Mayor wife? Kids? :'''Mayor Nettles''': You seem awfully forgetful, Daphne. I hope you remember you promised to baby-sit tomorrow night. :'''Sheriff Stone''': Now, Eastwood, Norris and little Billy Jack need to be asleep by 8:00. Linda Carter here can stay up as long as she likes on account of her being more adorable than her brothers. :'''Mayor Nettles''': Oh, we better run. See you tomorrow. (''leaves with Sheriff Stone and four children'') :'''Velma''': OK, that was odd. :'''Fred''': Gang, look at the sign. :(''The sign says "Crystal Cove - The Sunniest Place on Earth"'') :'''Daphne''': Didn't it always used to say "The Most Hauntedest Place on Earth"? :'''Shaggy''': And like, check out that sign. :'''Fred''': (''reads the Darrow Mansion's sign'') "Visit historic Darrow Mansion"? :'''Velma''': Darrow Mansion sank underground. :'''Daphne''': And Danny Darrow was some kind of horrible old troll, remember? I mean, wasn't he? :'''Scooby''': (''scared'') Duh! What's going on?! (''jumps into Shaggy's arms'') :'''Velma''': Scooby, I think that's exactly what we need to find out. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': Mom, dad, be honest. Are you sure you two have never touched a trap in your entire lives? :'''Brad''': Traps? Fred, you know we're both... :'''Judy''': Obstetricians. We bring babies into the world. :'''Brad''': Happy babies, Judy. :'''Judy''': Thank you, Brad, happy babies. :'''Daphne''': But that still doesn't explain why you're here, mom and dad. :'''Barty''': Oh, it's simple, dear. :'''Nan''': We're planning your wedding. :'''Fred and Daphne''': Our wedding? :'''Nan''': Why, princess, you're almost 18. High time you tied the knot. :'''Barty''': I only wish we could find more perfect specimens of manhood like Fred for your underachieving sisters. :'''Daphne''': Huh? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paula''': Don't be silly, Norville, we're so proud. Our son, President of the Chefs Club, winner of the ultimate teen chef award and you've won the national junior epicurean of the year award 3 times in a row. :'''Shaggy''': But, I--I'm like a slacker. :'''Colton''': I don't buy that story for a second. :'''Scooby''': Shaggy, look. :(''Shaggy and Scooby watch the TV about Creationex Corp.'') :'''Ricky''': ''Here at Creationex, we've been blessed with inventing clean, sustainable fusion-based energy.'' :'''Cassidy''': ''Now, my beautiful husband and I want to pass that blessing on to you by radically reducing our prices.''

Tell me what's going on? :'''Marcie''': V, this is no time for fooling around. We're preparing for this year's Tri-state Olympiad of Science, which we have always won. :'''Velma''': Schrodinger's cat! :'''Marcie''': Huh? Our event is about mineral erosion. What's the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics have to do with it? :'''Velma''': Everything! I gotta tell the gang. (''leaves'') :'''Marcie''': That's my girl. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Ethan''': Fred! Bro! You are the coolest. :'''Gary''': Cooler than cool, the king of cool, the lord king of goal keepers. :'''Ethan''': Those crazy talented hands of yours blocked every shot last night. Thanks for winning us the championship. You rock! :'''Gary''': Yeah! And thanks for letting us borrow your van. You double rock! (''he and Ethan leave'') :'''Fred''': (''looks at the white van'') This--this is my van? :'''Fred Jones Sr.''': Galloping goalies, Fred, of course it's your van. Now, will you kindly get it off my field? :'''Fred''': Mayor dad? :'''Fred Jones Sr.''': You've called me a lot of things over the years, Mr. Jones, coach Jones, principal Jones, but definitely not mayor and never dad. I gotta say I like it. You know, since I never had kids of my own, I've always thought of the students here at my high school as all my kids, but you, Fred, you were always special. I've always been extra proud of you. By the way, my colleague at Miskatonic University sent this for you and your friends. (''gives the disc to Fred'') <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': With no actuality of wave function collapse, alternative histories and futures are real. I know why everything's different. We destroyed the Entity and by destroying it, it was as if it never existed. So, everything it touched: All the evil, all of the curse, all of the losers in rubber masks and the dumb monster attractions, none of it ever happened. By destroying the Evil Entity, we created an entirely different timeline. :'''Daphne''': Our neighbors, our families, they've never been negatively influenced by the Evil Entity. :'''Shaggy''': It's come undone, all of it. Our actions created a better world where we all have normal and productive lives. :'''Daphne''': Lives that really aren't ours. :'''Fred''': Worse than that, gang, we've created a world without mysteries. :'''Velma''': What kind of a world doesn't have mysteries? :'''Fred''': A world where we don't belong. :(''The gang feels sorry'') :'''Daphne''': What do we do now? :'''Fred''': Well, I just got this disc from Miskatonic University. Might as well see what it is. <hr width="50%"/> :(''Velma puts the disc into the laptop'') :(''Video starts'') :'''Harlan Ellison''': ''Harlan Ellison here. You can call me Mr. E. I know who you kids are and I know that you created an alternate timeline by destroying that Evil Entity. How do I know this? How you ask in your purblind ignorance? It's obvious as antlers on a Chihuahua. I'm a genius! All my years of writing speculative fiction has hyper tuned my psychic mnemonic connection with alternate dimensions. That's why I am able to remember every timeline ever created. And believe me, this has happened before, but you kids have slipped the time stream with me. Very rare. You're very strange. That's why I sent you this message. I've taken up residence as professor of sub-nuclear sciences at Miskatonic University. (''shows the university from the window'') I want you in my class next semester. I've already got you all admitted, even that weird dog. There's a lot of meddling to do and a lot of mysteries out there that need solving. Don't miss it.'' :(''Video ends'') :(''The gang is surprised'') :'''Fred''': Hold the phone! :'''Daphne''': Jeepers! :'''Velma''': Jinkies! :'''Shaggy''': Zoinks! :'''Velma''': Miskatonic University? Amazing! :'''Daphne''': But it's all the way on the other side of the country. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': How are we going to get there? :'''Fred''': We'll drive, starting right now. And we'll stop and solve every mystery we find along the way. :'''Scooby''': Ooh! A mystery solving road trip! Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy! :'''Shaggy''': Like, can we also stop and eat at every burger place and pizza joint we find along the way, too? :'''Fred''': Absolutely. But first, we need to do something about this van. :(''The gang starts painting the van'') <hr width="50%"/> :(''Last lines'') :'''Nova''': (''still possessed by the Anunnaki'') Thank you, Scooby-Doo.

Could you cut out that noise for a second!? : '''Circe:''' No, I can't! I'm running out of time! Most people on this planet what E.V.O.s gone, ''including'' Providence!

It's what I came here to do. : '''Rex:''' You've been calling that thing, haven't you? : '''Circe:''' It's my initiation into the Pack. I was brought here to capture it. : '''Rex:''' By yourself!? The two of us could barely take it on! There's a resort here; innocent people! Send it back! : '''Circe:''' That's not an option, Rex. Van Kleiss was very specific. : '''Rex:''' Then I'm helping you. : '''Circe:''' That's not an option either!! : (''Blasts him with her hypersonic waves'') <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' If I do this myself, I'll have a life! If I don't, Van Kleiss won't be happy. And you've seen what he does when he's not happy. : '''Rex:''' If I don't help you, he won't even get the chance! : '''Circe:''' Give me some credit, Rex! I'm not as helpless as you think! <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I don't care whose side your on, Circe. I don't want to see you die today. Can we at least agree on that? : '''Circe:''' You have no idea what I'm in for, Rex. But you're right. I can't do this by myself. : '''Rex:''' You're not as helpless as you think. <hr width80%> : '''Circe''' (''relieved'')''':''' Rex, you stopped it. : '''Rex:''' We make a good team, huh? : '''Circe:''' Yeah, we sure do. : (''She and Rex lean in closer for a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by Biowulf'') : '''Biowulf:''' This trial was for you alone. Van Kleiss will not be pleased. : '''Rex:''' Forget them, Circe. Come with me. Providence could use you. : '''Circe:''' That's just not my life, Rex. I'm sorry. I did have fun. <hr width80%> : '''Van Kleiss:''' We had high hopes for your abilities, Circe. Failure leaves its mark on yet another pretty face. : '''Circe:''' I'm not afraid. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Of course not. You're a survivor, like all of us. I understand you made a friend during your trial. I'm pleased. Rex is very important to me, Circe, which makes you very important to me as well. Welcome to the Pack. : (''Circe looks slightly worried, which clearly indicates that she does have real feelings for Rex'') ===Lockdown=== <hr width80%> :'''Holiday:''' Rex, stop!! :'''Rex:''' Give me one good reason! :'''Holiday:''' Because, Rex...that's my sister. :'''Rex:''' Can I...help? :'''Holiday:''' She's an incurable. <hr width80%> :'''Six:''' Restrain it. Carefully. :'''Holiday:''' Thank you. ===The Architect=== :'''Six''': Still no sign of the kid? :'''Holiday''': Not since we lost his biometric readings five days ago. :'''Six''': Was Noah any help? :'''Holiday''': Says he doesn't know where he is either. What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he needs a home, not just a room and a job? We've been pushing him away. :'''Rex''': I build machines and cure EVOs-- the only one in the world who can. Just one cure for that kind of pressure-- road trip. But that doesn't mean "vacation". :'''Build worker''': Whoa! :'''Maxwell''': What in the world is that?! :'''Build worker:''' Oh, no! :''[Both screaming]'' :'''Jacob''': Get away from that cable! Unh! :''[Kate gasps]'' :'''Maxwell''': Hey! :'''Jacob''': Agh! :'''Kate''': Jacob! :'''Rex''': Nope. A hero's work is never done. You okay? :'''Jacob''': What... are you? :'''Rex''': Here to help. :'''Jacob''': We've got to get that cable back underground. We've been compromised. :'''Kate''': But, Jacob, the EVOs-- :'''Jacob''': We don't have a choice. Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason. :'''Rex''': Hey! Pay attention! :'''Providence Agent''': We have a hit in sector 15. :'''Six''': Anyone in the area? :'''Providence Agent''': I show one patrol in the vicinity. Signaling to intercept. Roger that. We're on our way. :'''Rex''': Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos! :'''Jacob''': You can control your nanites? :'''Rex''': People usually start with "thanks," but yeah. :'''Jacob''': You see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve... harmony with the nanites. This boy... sorry... young man Is a miracle. :'''Rex''': I'm not a miracle. I'm just Rex. :'''Jacob''': Well, Rex, you're a blessing to us for what you did here and for showing us that all our work isn't in vain. :'''Rex''': Like imaginary work? :'''Jacob''': Follow us. :'''Providence Agent''': Confirming coordinates. We've lost the EVO signal. Did you take it out? Negative. There's nothing here. Must be another anomalous reading. You can return to post. :'''Rex''': This is awesome! A hidden village. And nobody knows you're out here? Not even Providence? :'''Jacob''': Especially not Providence. :'''Rex''': Really? really. Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good cellphone reception. :'''Jacob''': That tower is gonna change the world, Rex. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but I have one for You. Are you hungry? :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! :'''Caleb''': My dad said you fought all those EVOs all by yourself. Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay away from EVOs? :'''Kate''': Caleb, let him eat. We don't get many visitors. :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! What is this? :'''Caleb''': Didn't your mom ever make you meatloaf and mashed potatoes? :'''Rex''': I don't -- I don't know. :'''Kate''': It took me a month and a half to program in the perfect lump-to-mash ratio of the potatoes-- 7.2%! :'''Jacob''': We ate potatoes until they were coming out of our ears. :'''Rex''': I don't see any potatoes in there. :'''Caleb''': They didn't really come out of our ears. :'''Rex''': I could eat these every day. :'''Rex''': Mmm! :'''Caleb''': We have them every friday. :'''Rex''': Then I might just have to stick around until next friday. :'''Kate''': Help yourself to seconds. :'''Jacob''': Or thirds. :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! :'''Bobo''': Hmm? :'''Six''': You might think you're doing Rex a favor by covering for him. :'''Bobo''': Get lost. I don't know what you're talkin' about. :'''Six''': Rex is angry with us. He has every right to be. But that means nothing to White Knight. And he doesn't have the patience we do. :'''Bobo''': Nice try. White won't lay a finger on him. He's too important. :'''Six''': You, however, are somewhat expendable. :'''Bobo''': All right, all right. You made your point. :'''Rex''': I've never seen tech like this... not even at Providence. :'''Jacob''': The Architect has some pretty big ideas. We just make them happen. He'd be very interested to meet you, Rex. :'''Rex''': So what exactly are You doing way out here? :'''Jacob''': Engineers like us weren't very popular after the nanite event. When we met the Architect, he offered us the opportunity to make up for that... to do amazing things. Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world. And then there's this. The Architect has actually discovered a way to communicate with the nanites. :'''Rex''': Are you serious? :'''Jacob''': The possibilities... We could finally live in harmony... maybe even have them help us. :'''Rex''': Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want to know about this stuff. :'''Jacob''': The Architect is something of a perfectionist. Says the world will know as soon as it comes online. :'''Maxwell''': Stinkin' module! :'''Jacob''': Is there a problem, Maxwell? :'''Maxwell''': No matter what I try, I just can't get the interlock servo to engage. :'''Rex''': There. :'''Jacob''': That could have taken us weeks to figure out, and you did it in seconds. :'''Rex''': Eh, no biggie. :'''Jacob''': You really are amazing, Rex. We're so happy to have you with us. :'''The Architect''': Jacob. :'''Jacob''': I was just talking to Rex about you. The Architect. :'''Rex''': How's it going? :'''The Architect''': The power-linkage team is falling behind. We cannot keep having these delays. :'''Jacob''': I'll check in with them. :'''Rex''': Wow. Friendly. :'''Jacob''': I like to think he's smiling on the inside. :'''Rex''': Yeah. I know a guy like that. :'''The Architect''': The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed? :'''Zag-RS''': His abilities could advance our progress considerably. And in a matter of days all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex. :'''Six''': I'm at the location the monkey gave me. :'''Holiday''': Well? Is Rex there? :'''Six''': Apparently not. Tell the monkey I want to see him when I get back. Six out. :'''Rex''': That should do it. :'''Maxwell''': Hey, Rex, can you look at this? :'''Rex''': Sure. Let me guess... they all need my help, too. :'''Jacob''': You're quite the popular guy. :'''Rex''': Amazing what a little gratitude will get you. At Providence, they'd just be yelling at me. I mean, I never felt like I really belonged there. Here, it's way different. :'''Jacob''': I know the feeling. The Architect has made all this possible for us. We have a community... a family... thanks to him. The work we do is in part to pay that back. :'''The Architect''': Primary systems are now complete. :'''Zag-RS''': Prepare to take us online. :'''Bobo''': Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, pal. I would never rat out my... Ooh. He's going west. :'''White Knight''': Why is Rex doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty? :'''Holiday''': Actually, if you look, he's still doing his job. Here's every false alarm since Rex left... not false alarms, But Rex taking care of EVOs along the way. :'''White Knight''': Why? :'''Holiday''': I don't know. To prove he doesn't need us? :'''Six''': Get the coordinates of the last false alarm and transmit them to my jump jet. :'''Holiday''': Six, if we force him to come back, he'll just run away again. He has to want to be here. It needs to be his decision. :'''Jacob''': It's all coming together, Thanks to you, Rex. :'''Rex''': It's really cool to use my powers to actually build something, instead of just pounding EVOs. Oh, check it out. Even the boss is pitching in. :'''Both''': Huh? :'''Rex''': And that's getting strange looks because-- :'''Jacob''': Because in all these years, we've never seen him lift a finger. :'''Rex''': Taking some initiative... I like that. So, this whole "talking to nanites" thing... how does that work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say to them? :'''The Architect''': It doesn't concern you. :'''Rex''': Uh, considering I'm filled with them, it kind of does. How do we know it's not gonna make things even worse? :'''The Architect''': I do not answer to you, child! :'''Jacob''': Rex? Forgive him. He's still not used to the way things work around here. :'''The Architect''': Complete your duties! :'''Rex''': Why do you let him walk all over you like that? Don't you want answers? :'''Jacob''': What we want is a home. Without him, we have nothing... Nothing. We can't just run away from our problems, Rex. Most people can't. Look, this isn't perfect but it's all we've got. Rex, where are you going? :'''Rex''': He never answered my question. :'''Jacob''': That place is off-limits. The Architect has made it very clear to us that we can never go in there. We get this life for that promise. Rex, don't do it! :'''Rex''': Agh! :'''Jacob''': Rex, please! :'''Rex''': I'm sorry, jacob. I have to know. :'''The Architect''': Rex. The core is off-limits. You would be we to leave at once. :'''Rex''': Not until I get some answers. What is that? :'''The Architect''': No more questions. :'''Rex''': So, it's gonna be like that? Okay, I'll play. Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to machines? Agh! :'''Zag-RS''': As you can see, the current range of my signal is rather limited. :'''Rex''': You're the computer. :'''Zag-RS''': My human designation is "Zag-RS". The device you refer to as "The Architect" is my autonomous counterpart. :'''Rex''': What did you just do to me? :'''Zag-RS''': I instructed your nanites to protect me. :'''Rex''': "Instructed"? So you really can talk to them. :'''Zag-RS''': Insidious devices, the nanites. My own potential for greatness has been compromised because of them. They must be eliminated. When the transmitter is integrated into the broadcast array you helped us complete, they will blow themselves up. :'''Rex''': That's what this is for. It's like a big remote control. Every living thing on the planet has nanites in them. It'd kill everything! :'''Zag-RS''': That is of no importance to me... only ensuring my continued survival. :'''Rex''': Well, what about ours? This is all coming down! :'''Zag-RS''': I'm afraid you're too late. :'''Rex''': Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! :'''Jacob''': Rex, what have you done? :'''Rex''': You don't understand! The Architect... it's a robot... And a big honkin' computer "brain" is pulling his strings. :'''Jacob''': This can't be! :'''Rex''': Jacob, you've got to believe me. Just go inside and look. What's left of it is on the floor. :'''Jacob''': I can't go in there. And I don't have to. :'''The Architect''': Rex. :'''Rex''': You're making a big mistake! :'''Maxwell''': You entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable! :'''Rex''': I'm trying to tell you... this isn't what it seems. What you're protecting is a robot, and that thing we've been building is a transmitter. It's gonna send out a kill code to blow up every single nanite on Earth. :'''Maxwell''': He's lying! :'''Jacob''': What would be the point in that, Rex? Every living thing is infected with nanites. It would be catastrophic. :'''Rex''': Right in the middle of that pyramid is a computer, and it doesn't care about you or Kate or Caleb. The better future that you've all been working towards... That's the lie. Think about it. Isn't it strange that you've never been inside that place, that The Architect has never given you a straight answer about anything? :'''Jacob''': All this work it just doesn't make any sense. :'''Rex''': You have two choices... Go in there and prove me wrong or kick me out right now. I'll have Providence here in minutes. :'''Maxwell''': He's bluffing. :'''Rex''': To save every living thing on earth? Try me. :'''Maxwell''': Jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go? :'''Jacob''': All this time, we've been living in fear, Max. It's time for that to end. :'''The Architect''': You needn't bother. Construction is complete. Your services are no longer required. :'''Rex''': Now do you believe me? :'''The Architect''': Zag-RS thanks you for your hard work. In gratitude, my master has delayed transmission to allow you to say farewell. :'''Jacob''': Farewell, huh? I'll start with you. Can you shut that thing down? :'''Rex''': I don't know. Even without the antenna, it can mess with my nanites. I can't get too close to the computer. :'''Jacob''': Maybe I can. Let's go! :'''Rex''': The brain is right over there. :'''The Architect''': Rex. :'''Jacob''': It's still arging. The A.I. must have retreated behind a firewall. Rex, I have to go cut the power. :'''Holiday''': Six, are you at The location? :'''Six''': Just arrived. :'''Holiday''': I'm picking up a massive power surge in your area. :'''Six''': I'm not seeing anything. :'''Jacob''': Agh! :'''Rex''': Agh! :'''Six''': Six to holiday. Correction... I'm seeing something. :'''Jacob''': It's still on. Must have charged the capacitors. Figure out a way to short it out... fast! :'''Rex''': Unhhh! :'''Jacob''': You need to find the primary transmitter module. That will kill the broadcast. :'''Rex''': I have no idea what that is. :'''Jacob''': Max, we need to locate the primary module. :'''Maxwell''': Panel 5, just off the relay bus. :'''Jacob''': Top of the tower. You can't miss it. :'''Rex''': Agh! Unh! Why do you have to kill everyone? Can't you just leave us alone? :'''Zag-RS''': Alone is exactly what I want, Rex. :'''Rex''': That kind of alone it stinks. :'''Zag-RS''': N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. :'''Jacob''': It's gone. Must have uploaded to another location. But without anyone to do it's bidding, it's just a program. :'''Rex''': What will you do now? :'''Jacob''': We'll rebuild. The Architect may have been a lie, but what we believe in is true. We don't need him to have a community or a better future. You're welcome to stay. We sure could use someone with your abilities. :'''White Knight''': Well? :'''Six''': He's not here. Bobo's been worried sick. :'''Rex''': rex: Oh, really? :'''Six''': Ratted you out for a pizza. :'''Rex''': Huh. Figures. What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence? :'''Six''': Not this time. Seems like a nice place. :'''Rex''': Yeah. It is. But it's not home. If I'm going back, there are gonna have to be some changes. First, no more curfew. :'''Six''': No. :'''Rex''': Second, I want to decide On my missions. :'''Six''': No. :'''Rex''': Okay, but there's one change that absolutely has to be made, or I'm through. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great? :'''Bobo''': Mmm. :'''Six''': It's a little dry. :'''Rex''': Mmm. Mm the lump mash ratio is a bit off. :'''Bobo''': You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too... Go somewhere where my cooking is appreciated! :'''Six''': We have to do this every friday? :'''Rex''': Mmm. ===Frostbite=== :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I'm picking up a problem. You need to return to base immediately. :'''Rex''': I miss you, too, doc. But I'm kinda busy dealing with a problem of my own. Whoa! Whoa! Aah! Okay. Ow. Big mistake, tweety. Can that bird brain of yours comprende I'm trying to help you? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, your own nanite count is off the charts. If you take on any more nanites, We're looking at an overload. :'''Rex''': Come on, doc. It's just a big birdie. :'''Dr. Holiday''': You're already over capacity. This is critical! Rex! :'''Six''': Rex, you need to listen to the doctor. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at headquarters now. :'''Rex''': Do you really want a supersize pigeon flying loose all over lower Manhattan? You need me, and I can handle it. :'''Six''': Not your call. :'''Rex''': Unless I make it my call. :'''Dr. Holiday''': (as everyone is fighting) Stop! Need I point out that this isn't the best place for a fight. Anything happens to that storage tank and you'll know why providence made this place so remote. Now let's just talk this out calmly, rationally. :'''Biowulf''': Whatever happens here, Weaver. It's nothing compared to what Van Kleiss would have done to you. :'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help? :'''Biowulf''': Good luck. (Biowulf and Skalamander run off) :'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking? :'''Agent Six''': Rex. You need to listen to the doctor. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Agent Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at Headquarters. Now! :'''Rex''': Do you really want a super-sized pigeon flying loose over lower Manhattan. You need me and I handle it. :'''Agent Six''': Not your call. :'''Rex''': (as he's flying over the Pack in an Arctic storm) Like you're really going to find me when you can't see 2 feet in front of your face... Huh? (Flies into some of Skalamander's shards and crashes) Guess that visibility thing works both ways. :'''Rex''': (To Weaver) So, thanks to you, all this time I've been supplying nanites to Van Kleiss! :'''Rex''': Can't you believe you let these scags get the drop on you. :'''Agent Six''': They tried. It didn't turn out so well. Just haven't found a way to fight xenoflourine gas... yet. :'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help? :'''Biowulf''': Good luck.(Biowulf and Skalamander run off) :'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking? :'''Agent Six''': You can't possibly absorb all those nanites! You'd overload in an instant. :'''Rex''': In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with authority. :'''Rex''': (as Rex is absorbing nanites) Six wait! I can hear them! :'''Doctor Holiday''': (Watching from the ship) What are you waiting for, Six? Take the shot! :'''Rex''': (Speaking mechanically) Build protocol enabled. Command error detected. Abort. Abort. Stand by engaged. (Rex falls. His voice reverts to normal) Take the shot. :'''Agent Six''': He told me he could hear them. :'''Doctor Holiday''': I picked this up during the offload... It's Nanite. I'm sure of it. :'''Agent Six''': Seems there are more secrets inside that kid than we realized. :'''Skalamander:''' What's the kid doing here? :'''Biowulf:''' I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends!? :'''Salamander:''' He thinks we've done something. :'''Biowulf:''' Then let him keep thinking. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' You know, the nanites in me can counteract knockout gas! The playing-possum thing's a pretty good trick. Now tell me where my friends are or I start squeezing! <hr width80%> :'''Six:''' He told me he could hear them. :'''Holiday:''' I pulled this off during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it. :'''Six:''' Seems like there are more secrets inside that kid than we thought. ===Leader of the Pack=== <hr width80%> : '''Holiday:''' There couldn't possibly be enough E.V.O. activity to account for these nanite readings. They're off the scale. Looking for Van Kleiss? : '''Rex:''' Circe. I thought I saw her in the blimp. : '''Holiday:''' That's the girl you met in Cabo Luna. : '''Rex:''' She may be with the Pack now, but I think I can still get her to talk to me. You know I can be pretty convincing. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Dr. Holiday, there! Now let's take this outside! :'''Holiday:''' Rex. : '''Van Kleiss:''' It's quite all right. The determination of youth. I'm sure Circe will be disappointed she couldn't see you, Rex. She's attending to other duties this evening. Now if you will excuse me. : '''Rex:''' Why are you really here!? : '''Van Kleiss:''' The people of Abysus have a great way to offer the world. I'm just in part to make that known. :'''Rex:''' Or maybe 'cause I couldn't come to you, so now you're coming to me! :'''Van Kleiss:''' I admit you are important to me, Rex, but it's not always about you. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' Circe? Interesting look. Want to tell me what's going on? : '''Circe:''' Not today. :(''Knocks him out cold with a metal slate. She later looks outside Rex's prison cell and leaves, with a slightly guilty, dejected expression'') <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' Well, thanks for nearly bashing my brains in back there! And what's with the "knocking me out" thing? : '''Circe:''' We just needed to keep you out of the way until all of this was over. : '''Rex:''' ''This!?'' He could destroy the whole city! : '''Circe:''' He's trying to negotiate peace from a position of strength. : '''Rex''' (sarcastically)''':''' Oh, yeah! All this nanite power is just screaming peace. : '''Circe:''' His methods may be aggressive. But he's here to save us...and you. Come on, Rex, jump in with us. The water's fine. : '''Rex:''' I'll think about it ''after'' I've stopped Van Kleiss. : '''Circe:''' It's too late for that now, Rex. <hr width80%> : '''Van Kleiss:''' We will not be ignored! ''Circe'' understands this. Why don't you respect her judgement? :'''Rex:''' You think you can lure me in with her. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Like a fish to water. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I won! : '''Van Kleiss:''' It seems you have. Your parents would have been so proud. I never had the chance to tell you about them, have I? Perhaps another time. ===Breach=== : '''Rex:''' This is...different. <hr width80%> : '''Dr. Holiday:''' What is Van Kliess up to, Breach! Where did he have you send Rex? : '''Breach:''' Van Kleiss isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want; like now. ===Of Love and War=== ===No Strings Attached=== ===Desperate Measures=== ===The E.V.O. Agenda=== ===Dark Passage=== :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Any man who runs from his past will surely forfeit his future. The time has come to see what you created. :''[Bussiness Man choking]'' :'''Dr. Rylander:''' And this is only the beginning. :'''Rex:''' Hey! What's the rush? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Easy now! :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Did I say you could leave? :'''Six:''' Rex, deactivate his nanites before he-- :'''Rex:''' I'm all over that. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex gasping]'' :'''Bussiness Man:''' Please, don't let him hurt me again. :'''Rex:''' Hey, don't look at me. I barely touched the guy. :'''Six:''' Calm down. We're here to help you. :'''Bussiness Man:''' He said it was just the beginning. You have to stop him! :'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. Somebody's a few tacos short of a fiesta platter. :'''Business Man:''' H-he is a madman. A madman! :'''Rex:''' Come back! :'''White Knight:''' Our most recent EVO incident was not an isolated event. Similar outbreaks have been reported over the past twenty-four hours-- All linked to these mysterious "gifts" sent to each of the victims. :'''Rex:''' Talk about your sucky presents, like socks for Christmas. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The mechanism delivers a substance that activates latent nanites. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, but that dude changed back before I could shut him down. How'd that happen? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' From what I can tell, the victims were only exposed to a low dose designed to wear off quickly. :'''Six:''' There has to be a motive. Was our victim able to tell you anything? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. Complete mental collapse. He's too far gone. But we recovered a partial fingerprint from the device. :'''White Knight:''' It belongs to evolutionary biologist Dr. Gabriel Rylander. He was a leading expert in nanotechnology. :'''Six:''' "Was"? :'''White Knight:''' No one's seen or heard from him since the original nanite event. :'''Rex:''' Hold up. Are you saying this guy was there? :'''White Knight:''' We have no evidence of that. But following the event, Rylander vanished-- Along with his wife and young son. :'''Rex:''' Son? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Analysis of the nanite agent turned up trace elements of a rare plant found only in South America. :'''White Knight:''' Thermal imaging has located what appears to be a fortified compound, and that's exactly where intelligence reports Van Kleiss is heading, which means you will be, too. We expect the target to be heavily defended. Six, your team will handle the initial covert assault to recover the nanite agent and Dr. Rylander. If Van Kleiss really is after the same target, you better hope you get there first. :'''Jungle Cat:''' The path is clear, Van Kleiss. I'll continue ahead. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Our newest member of the pack seems to be working out well, wouldn't you agree? :''[Biowulf scoffs]'' :'''Biowulf:''' You should have stayed in Abysus, master. Even with this suit and soil from home, your powers are weak. :'''Van Kleiss:''' This is no ordinary errand, Biowulf. An old friend has just announced his return. Dr. Rylander's calling card to the Consortium offers an interesting prospect-- A limitless supply of active nanites. All that power-- Anytime-- Anywhere. :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Bobo:''' Got any idea where they keep the bug spray on this rust bucket? ''[swatting flies]'' Ah, stupid stinkin' nature! :'''Rex:''' You're a monkey. It's the jungle. :'''Bobo:''' Lemme tell ya somethin', chief. The jungle's a cruel mistress. One day, you're at the top of banana pile. Next day, you're a pile of peels rottin' in the sun. She'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Never forget that! Never forget! :'''Rex:''' O-kay, then. Good to know. :'''Six:''' I understand your point, doctor, but the fact remains we've got no idea what Rylander's agenda is. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' His motives don't make his research any less valuable. If I can get my hands on that nanite agent, I might be able to reverse-engineer a permanent cure. Think about what that could mean to the world, for the EVOs Rex can't cure... Like my sister. :'''Six:''' See anything interesting? :'''Bobo:''' ''[in distance]'' Never forget! :'''Rex:''' Don't ask. :'''Six:''' Listen, Rex, this mission-- I need to make sure your head is in the game. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? :'''Six:''' Answers about your past and whether or not this Rylander has them. :'''Rex:''' ''[scoffs]'' Whatever. You know, if he does, he does. If he doesn't, no big deal. I can handle it. :'''Six:''' It's just that... Sometimes knowing the truth can be worse than not knowing at all. :'''Rex:''' What's down there? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' No idea. :'''Bobo:''' Whatever it is, it's got company! Show-off. :'''Rex:''' Sushi-boat special coming up! :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Six:''' Holiday, get us out of here-- Now. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a dead end. :'''Six:''' Full throttle. Head for the shoreline. Rex! Jump! :'''Rex:''' Amazon river-- Never a dull moment. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander's welcoming committee, no doubt. Gentlemen, if you will. :''[Skalamander and Biowulf grunts]'' :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' It's fortunate there are other ways to sustain me. :'''Six:''' Guardian drone. We must be getting close. :'''Rex:''' Impressive observation, there, Six. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Previous electromagnetic imaging puts the compound in this general region, but something's jamming the frequency now. I can't get an exact location. :'''Rex:''' That way. Oh, yeah. I'm just that good. :'''Bobo:''' When you find me an ice-cold drink in this miserable armpit, I'll eat your ticks. :'''Rex:''' ''[Preparing to cut through some vines]'' I got this. You protect Holiday. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday cuts through the vines]'' Worry about yourselves! Howler monkeys. They're going to give away our location. :'''Rex:''' Bobo! Do something! :'''Bobo:''' Like I speak howler monkey? Oh, boy. :'''Six:''' Run! :'''Rex:''' I'll try and shut it down. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you okay? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Hey... You know me. A day without getting blown up is like a day without sunshine. :'''Six:''' You've been quiet. :'''Rex:''' All right, I've been thinking about it, okay? This Dr. Rylander may finally be proof I'm not alone in this world. :'''Six:''' And if it's not? I just don't want you to be disappointed. Six to White. :'''White Knight:''' What's your status? Have you found the location? :'''Six:''' Affirmative. But it seems we've been beaten to the punch. :'''White Knight:''' Understood. Captain Calan... You have a go. :'''Biwoulf:''' It should be here. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Your eyes deceive you, Biowulf. :'''Rex:''' Should have been aiming at you. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ahh. Providence at last. Traveling light, I see. :'''Rex:''' Oh, we're just here to find the place. They're here to secure it. :'''Six:''' Is it here? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Destroy them! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The compound's surrounded by a force field. :'''White Knight:''' If you can't secure that base, we will take it out. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't lose that formula. :'''Six:''' Rex, get in there. We'll hold off the pack. :'''Rex:''' Please don't blow me up. :'''Biowulf:''' Master, you are in no condition for battle. Seek cover. :'''Rex:''' Punks. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[From behind Rex with a gun]'' Don't move, or I'll drop you. Rex? Is-- Is that you? :''[Dr. Rylander hugs Rex]'' :'''Rex:''' You... Know my name. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[Laughing]'' Of course I do! I gave it to you! I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck. :'''Rex:''' Dad? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You've lost your memory, haven't you? Not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Yes. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be. :'''Rex:''' Oh. Okay. So, if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Ah, well, "Rex Rylander" is a goofy name, anyway. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Come quickly. We don't have much time. I was so close to completing the code. There's been a problem with the molecular penetration, resulting in a sequencing gap. :'''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander, I've got to know. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You must understand-- It was never about power or greed. It was about changing the world-- Saving mankind by putting and end to disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded... Until they got involved. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' The nanites were incomplete. The incident spread them across the globe before we could finish their final programming. Except for you. Yours were from a different batch-- The first, actually. All those... Innocent victims. :'''Rex:''' If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Hm. The chosen few. Those men and women, Rex, are far from innocent. While they hide in their office towers and gated estates, I've been here trying to set things right, to find a cure for what we created. I begged them for more funding. :'''Rex:''' Wait! Everyone you attacked was... They all worked on the Nanite Project? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to show them what would happen if they refused to help finish the good work we started. And it was good, Rex. You're living proof that we were doing the right thing. :'''Rex:''' ''[Indignant]'' By turning me into an EVO?! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was a tremendous gamble. The... Unexpected side effects came later. It was a surprise to all of us. :''[Dr. Rylander chuckles]'' :''Dr. Rylander:''' The look on your brother's face. :'''Rex:''' Brother? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' When the event occurred, it was yo powers that saved you both. Most of the others-- They weren't so lucky. :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' I'm not alone. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Oh, here. I have something for you. :''[Injects the mighty and all-powerful Omega Nanite into his system]'' :'''Rex:''' Ow! :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' The force-field must be failing. :'''Rex:''' Forget the force-field! What did you just inject me with? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[[w:Omnipotence |Everything]]''. :'''Rex:''' Enough, okay?! Do you have any idea what it's been like-- Not knowing who I am, if my family's dead or alive?! Quit with the rambling mad-scientist act and give me some answers! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Forgive me, Rex. I've been so consumed with my own guilt, I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is-- :''[Dr. Rylander gasps]'' :''[Van Kleiss stabs Rylander from behind]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Truth, doctor? You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Nor loyalty, for that matter. How many times must I tell you this, Rex? The answers you so desperately seek lie with me. And as for you, doctor, consider our past disagreement settled. I look forward to continuing our research... Alone. This was unavoidable, Rex. The longer you resist me, the more people get hurt. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss grunting]'' :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander has always been on borrowed time. All of this belongs to me now. Destroy me, and you lose everything. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex groaning]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Six:''' Rex. Where's Rylander? :'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Six:''' The reactor is shot. This entire place is about to blow. :'''Bobo:''' Don't have to tell me twice. :'''Biowulf:''' Why do they run? :'''Skalamander:''' Where is Van Kleiss? :'''Six:''' No, I didn't see what happened. But according to Rex, Van Kleiss has been eliminated. Rylander's experiment is a total loss. :'''Holiday:''' All of this for nothing. I'm sorry, Rex. :'''Rex:''' It wasn't for nothing, doc. I've got a brother.... Out there... Somewhere. I'm not alone anymore. Finally, I've started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever. ===The Forgotten=== :'''Six:''' Rex! :'''Rex:''' It's like I'm hearing through my nanites. <hr width80%> :'''No-Face:''' You are not the Before. :'''Rex:''' I'm not sure that was a complete sentence back then. :'''No-Face:''' ''They'' are the Before! The Before forgot us. The Before left us in pain. <hr width80%> ===Operation: Wingman=== :'''Annie:''' "Do you have a girlfriend?" :'''Rex:''' "It's complicated.

(''holds up Rex's journal'') We both know this is what you really want. So go ahead take it. Walk away. Show them who you really are. You were always very good a taking care of yourself.

Not anymore. :'''Quarry''': Your choice. <hr width80%> :'''Rex''': It's over, Quarry! You lose! <hr width80%> : '''Sqywwd:''' I hope you don't expect us to thank you. : '''Rex:''' No. Providence won't bother you unless you do something stupid. : '''Cricket:''' We'll be fine.

(''Flies off on his Boogie Pack'') <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' It's going to happen again, isn't it? I'm going to blank out. How long do I have? : '''Holiday:''' I don't know, Rex. It's likely triggered by a specific event; something traumatic. ===The Hunter=== ===Gravity=== ===What Lies Beneath=== : '''Circe:''' Rex, it's me. : '''Rex:''' Circe? What do ''you'' want!? : '''Circe:''' Things in Abysus- they're bad, Rex. I need your help. : '''Rex:''' Oh, well, how do I put this nicely? Not a chance! You made your choice, Circe! I made mine. End of story. : '''Circe:''' Please, Rex. I know you're mad at me, but this is a matter of life and death. : '''Rex:''' A lot of things are right now. Nice talking to you. : '''Circe:''' Rex!? : (''Looks crestfallen'') <hr width80%> :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I didn't know you were still in touch with Circe. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, me neither. Can we please stop talking about this? <hr width80%> : '''Holiday:''' She's very pretty. : '''Rex:''' She works for Van Kleiss. She's the enemy. : '''Holiday:''' But you still like her, don't you? : '''Rex:''' I am ''not'' talking about this! <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' Rex, thank you. : '''Rex:''' I'm not doing this for you. But...your welcome. (''Circe similes hopefully'') So what exactly am I supposed to do? :'''Holiday:''' When I said you were the key, I meant that literally. According to the plans, the machine needs to be turned on by a molecular level. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' You ''lied'' to me!! : '''Circe:''' You wouldn't have come if I told you the truth. : '''Rex:''' This wasn't about you needing ''me''!! This is about you needing Van Kleiss!! : '''Circe:''' I need you both. Please, Rex, you don't understand. : '''Rex:''' No!! ''You'' don't understand!! Van Kleiss is gone and I intend to keep it that way!! : '''Biowulf:''' You destroyed us all!! : '''Six:''' Don't even breathe. <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' You don't know what you've done. : '''Rex:''' Then, I guess we're even. : '''Circe:''' You've never understood his power. Van Kleiss kept us safe here. His force was the only thing keeping Abysus together, and you destroyed that. : '''Rex:''' We're done here!! : '''Holiday:''' Rex, I think she's right. Nanites operate on a molecular level. If they bonded with Van Kleiss, breaking off his connection must have caused a splinter; resulting in a disastrous chain reaction. : '''Rex:''' I'm ''not'' bringing him back! ''Not now, not ever!!'' Besides, you don't need Van Kleiss! You have me!! Why not go straight to the source?! :'''Holiday:''' Rex, no! :'''Six:''' Stand down! It's too dangerous! <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Let go of me!! : '''Holiday:''' If you keep fighting these unstable nanites, they're going to destroy you! : '''Rex:''' And if I don't they'll destroy everybody else. : '''Holiday:''' Not if you listen to me! I have an idea. It's a long shot. Instead of fighting the nanites, ''communicate'' with them. : '''Six:''' You want to talk to the nanites? : '''Holiday:''' He's done it before. : '''Rex:''' Never anything this big. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I got you!

They’ll get us all killed one day. :''[Holiday walks down a hallway and drops several notes, one of which Six picks up.]'' :'''Six:''' EVO? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Exponentially Variegated Organism; a little more scientific than spoiled meat. That is what you hired guns call them isn’t it? :'''Six:''' It's Six, and I don't use guns. You told Fell we could learn more by bringing them in alive. What did you mean? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites are altering our DNA, but with the right type of research, there's no doubt they could be programmed to stop or reverse the process. Imagine a third option to this, kill-or-Contain protocol. :'''Six:''' A third option? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' A cure. :'''White Knight:''' ''[Knight and several other Providence agents run past Holiday after an alarm activates]'' Buckle up partner!

You always open with that move. Change it up a little! :'''Both:''' Whoa! :'''Bobo:''' You see what you get? That's what happens when you interrupt my nap-- Bobo gets cranky! :'''Rex:''' I learned that the hard way, too. :'''Calan:''' All hands-- We've got intruders on deck four, five, and six. Get'em off our ship! :'''Rex:''' Go! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Attention, Providence. The ship is ours. :'''Rex:''' Ugh! Not even close, Van Kleiss! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Lay down your weapons, and your lives will be spared. Continue to resist and nothing survives. :'''Rex:''' You've made I made some lame-o moves before, Van Kleiss, but this one-- classic. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Seems you may have run out of tricks. Oh, you had to know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands these days. ''[Restrains Rex with his gauntlet]'' :'''Rex:''' Aaaaah! :'''Van Kleiss:''' You took something very precious from me, Rex, and now I'll be returning the favor. :'''Rex:''' If you want my monkey, you can forget it. :''[Van Kleiss starts draining nanites from Rex, causing him to squirm and scream in pain.]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my power, you left some of your behind-- Enough to tell me a few of what makes you tick. :''[Rex tries to summon a build, but nothing happens.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ungh! :''[Rex grunting]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You'll find that using your powers will be something of a challenge.

Secure the rest of the ship. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Come on! Do you really think throwing me out that hatch is the best way to get rid of me?

Wh-o-o-o-o-oa! :'''Noah:''' What is he doing? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This is no time to fool around, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Happened to notice that ground coming up on his, doc? If you don't do something fast, I'm about to become part of it! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, are you okay? :'''Rex:''' I think we may have a problem. :'''White Knight:''' What do you mean "they have the keep"?! Blow it up! :'''Six:''' We tried. The remote-destruct sequence has been disabled. Van Kleiss has complete control of it. :'''White Knight:''' Give me some good news. :'''Six:''' We know where it's heading. Here. :'''Biowulf:''' This is the commanding officer. We found him attempting to destroy this ship. :'''Calan:''' What's your game, Van Kleiss? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, a very good question-- One that depends entirely on what happens next, Captain. It seems my powers have made a slight... change. :'''Rex:''' Well? They're gone, aren't they? Van Kleiss took all my active nanites. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. I found this. Definitely a nanite, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Molecular scans seems to indicate it's some kind of control-nanite. :'''Rex:''' But with nothing to control. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' With a large enough concentration of nanites, we might be able to jump-start it. But even with that, there's no guarantee it would replicate or even give you back the same abilities. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped. :'''Rex:''' Great. Loving this. :'''White Knight:''' If you're finished with the lost cause, we've got a bigger problem. :'''Biowulf:''' Master, how is this possible? :'''Van Kleiss:''' It would seem Rex's nanites have an opposite effect on me. He cured EVOs. Now I create them. Full ahead-- Ramming speed! Once we're through, we'll destroy Providence from the inside out. :'''White Knight:''' Lock it down! I want hallways cleared and critical sections defended. They will not take this base. :'''Rex:''' Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go stop them! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you're in no condition to fight. :'''Rex:''' Well, what do you expect me to do-- Hide? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Whatever it takes. That nanite inside you might be able to bring you back, but it's going to take me time to figure out how. And that's not something we have a lot of right now. :'''Rex:''' Wow. Nice outfit. :'''Noah:''' Got one for you, too. You get to armor up like the rest of us normals. :'''Rex:''' Come on. :'''Bobo:''' All right, where to? :'''Rex:''' South Pacific. :'''Bobo:''' That's my boy. And here I thought you'd try to pull some hero stunt. Oh, brother. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I want the White Knight. Find where he's hiding and bring him to me. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That should be everything, as long as the offsite backup holds. :'''Six:''' Don't let it get to that. :'''Noah:''' This is a strange place for a base. :'''Rex:''' When I have too many nanites in me, this is where I go to offload. :'''Bobo:''' Think of it as a nanite porta-potty. :'''Noah:''' Thanks... For that image, Bobo. So, we just put some of these nanites in you, and we're good to go? :'''Rex:''' No. They're inactive. Or at least stripped of their programming. Since I can't control them, I just have to hope that whatever this thing is inside me can't. :'''Noah:''' So... What happens if it can't? :'''Bobo:''' Let me put it this way-- The last guy who went swimmin' in that soup ended up a 50-foot freak show. :'''White Knight:''' Listen to me carrefully, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I'd rather not. :'''White Knight:''' Where are they? :'''Six:''' The inner perimeter has been compromised. They're coming. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! Ungh! :''[Skalamander roars]'' :''[Skalamander roars]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Open it. :'''Rex:''' Okay. Bobo, set the thing to "vent" and go. If this doesn't work, I don't want you getting caught in the blast. :'''Bobo:''' No. :'''Noah:''' Forget it. Rex, at least think about his for a sec. What if it wipes your memory? What it turns you into some evil monster? :'''Rex:''' My friends need me. There's nothing more to think about. Bobo, do it. :'''Bobo:''' Long odds, pay big. :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Six:''' You've overstayed your welcome. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, here's someone who would make a nice addition to our EVO ranks. :'''Six:''' Go ahead and try. Ugh! :''[Six groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Trying to do my job for me, Six? Here's a thought-- When your top henchman can't even get rid of someone by throwing him out of a moving plane, time to rethink the help. :'''Van Kleiss:''' You are determined-- I'll give you that. If it's what you prefer, I'll finish you myself. :'''Rex:''' Maybe. :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Cool! :'''Bobo:''' See? I told you it would work. :'''Six:''' This is an unexpected surprise. :'''Rex:''' Well, by now, you should expect the unexpected from me, Six. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh! :''[Skalamander roars]'' :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Noah:''' Is that what I think it is? :'''Bobo:''' Not anymore. :'''Noah:''' You think there might be more of them? :'''Bobo:''' Eh... Probably. :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :''[Biowulf growls]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Aaaaaaah! :'''White Knight:''' I use that electromagnet to trap stray nanites. You're lucky it's on the lowest setting. Any higher, and it would rip the nanites right out of your body. :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Then why don't you? :'''White Knight:''' Because then I wouldn't be able to do this. :'''Skalamander:''' No one can help you. You're all alone now. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. We still have my sister. :''[Skalamander grunting]'' :''[Rex and Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Aaaaah! :'''Rex:''' No way! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh! :'''Rex:''' Once again, epic fail. I'll take my nanites back now. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! :'''Noah:''' Rex, wait! :'''Bobo:''' Van Kleiss left behind a few presents. :'''Rex:''' No time to look everywhere. I'm shutting everything down. :'''Noah:''' You can do that? :'''Rex:''' Don't know. Never tried. Anything else? No? :'''Calan:''' Whew! I never want to do that again. No, sir. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing. :'''Rex:''' Why, thank you. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I was talking about the nanites. That was a risky move, Rex, but it worked. As far as I can tell, you're back to your old self. :'''Rex:''' I don't know. Something feels different. That new build-- I think I can do even more. It's like I can see the blueprints. I just need to figure out how to put it all together. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight in person. Never thought I'd see the day. :'''White Knight:''' Well, don't get used to it. We found all the explosives. The base and the keep will need extensive repairs. This was not our finest hour. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We kicked butt! So what if Van Kleiss is back and more powerful than ever? So am I! If he wants a nanite war, let him bring it! :''[White Knight laughs]'' :'''White Knight:''' It's good to have your back, Rex. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You know, I think he actually means it. :'''Rex:''' Sure he does. So, tell me something, guys-- What's next? ==Season Two (2011)== ===Rampage=== :'''Rex:''' I'll give you the recap. Thanks to these microscopic machines called nanites, I can build cool gear out of my body. I'm what's called an EVO. But most EVOs aren't lucky like me. They usually look like this. ''[Chuckling]'' I know what you're thinking. And they smell bad, too. There's one other thing I can do that makes me even more special. Some EVOs, I can cure. That's why I work for Providence. We're the people you call when an evo is tearing up your lawn or attacking a city. And the worst of them is this guy-- Van Kleiss. The last time we fought, things got a little out of hand. I'll admit it-- We pretty much got our tails handed to us. He steals the key, wrecks headquarters, hijacks my nanite to get back the powers I took away from him. And now he can actually make people into EVOs. Then, to top it off, he has his dog boy Biowulf throw me, overboard at 6,000 feet. Not that anyone's keeping score. Sure, Van Kleiss may be back, but so am I. So what if he can make EVOs? I can still cure them. He may have new powers, but guess what-- I do, too. Ever since my powers came back, I've got the ability to make amazing new machines. Now I just have to figure out how to build more. If you're trying to check up on me, Six, the answer's still a big fat... ''[imitates buzzer]'' I can't figure out how to make this new build. :'''Six:''' It might take some time, but you'll get it. :'''Rex:''' And meanwhile, Van Kleiss is out there doing who knows what. I wish they'd hurry up and get the H.Q. Rebuilt. You're not still living out of your jump jet like some ninja hobo, are you? :'''Six:''' My temporary accommodations are perfectly adequate. :'''Rex:''' Yep. Still living in the jet. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I hate being kicked out of our house. Although, as long as they're building stuff, I need a hot tub. :''[Carmen gasps]'' :'''Carmen:''' Madre! Estas viva! Como puede ser? :'''Carmen's mother:''' No querida. Soy la prima gemela diabolica de tu madre. :'''Noah:''' What are you watching? :'''Rex:''' Cultural enrichment! Later on, we find out if Dr. Suarez chooses Isabel, or her evil half sister, Ana Maria. :'''Carmen:''' Pero, como va supremivir esto nuesta familia. :'''Carmen's mother:''' Con mucho dolor, vengaza y arrepentimiento. :'''Noah:''' If you're gonna stay with me while they're rebuilding Providence, at least don't flaunt the fact that you don't have a pre-calculus test in three days. :'''Rex:''' Pre-wha? :'''Noah:''' Exactly my point. And when I agreed to this, I wasn't expecting the sidekick, too. :'''Bobo:''' Hey, pally, we're a package deal. Live with it. :''[Noah gasps]'' :'''Noah:''' Was that a toenail? Can I just get hit by a toenail?! :'''Rex:''' What's your deal? :'''Noah:''' Aah! Get one in my mouth! Ugh! :'''Rex:''' Okay, that is gross. Bobo, bad monkey. I thought this would be fun. :''[Noah scoffs]'' :'''Noah:''' For you, maybe. I'll get a real life, too, you know. As much as I want it to be, it can't be all fun and games all the time, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Why not? Worse for me. :'''Noah:''' Hey, I like adventure as much as the next guy, but I still have to pass math. :'''Rex:''' You're not going to fail math. You have like the fourth highest GPA in your class. :'''Noah:''' It used to be third. :'''Rex:''' And ten years from now, nobody's going to care. Hey doc, miss me? Huh? Oh. A situation. Really? Awesome! Nope. I'm not doing anything. Be right there. I'm gonna go pound some EVO into submission. Wanna come? :'''Noah:''' You're serious? :'''Rex:''' No. That would be you. Have fun with that math. :'''Noah:''' Save the world or a chance at a scholarship? All right! I'm coming! :'''Rex:''' Now see? It's a lot more fun when you just let go. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you hold that thing still? :'''Rex:''' Dibs! That's a whole lot of agents for one EVO, doc. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They weren't here for the EVO. That ship is carrying the new power core for Providence headquarters. This thing just happened to show up when we started to offload it. :''[Dr. Holiday grunting]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! :''[Rex straining]'' :'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss! :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' Did you see the mark? Van Kleiss made that one. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why else do you think I've been trying to get a sample from it? :'''Rex:''' I don't know-- Just being science-y? Ugh! :'''Bobo and Noah:''' Yeah! :'''Rex:''' Does that work for you? :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Aah! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It'll do. Got it. We can cure it now. :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Aah! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Unless you like getting thrown around like that. :'''Noah:''' No hurry. This is great. :'''Bobo and Noah:''' Ew! :''[Dock worker grunts]'' :'''Dock worker:''' What hit me? :'''Rex:''' That would be me. :'''Six:''' You work here? :'''Dock worker:''' What do you think, mister? Ahh, my back. :'''Rex:''' Yep. Sorry. Was trying, you know, not to die. If he works at the dock, that must mean Van Kleiss was here. :'''Noah:''' Actually, I think he still is. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They're after the power core. :'''Rex:''' All this for a battery? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not just a battery. It could fuel a country the size of Abysus for a decade. :'''Rex:''' And it was going to be underneath my room?! Excuse me. Out of the way! Coming through! I was wondering when you and your hair would show up again, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Back to your old self again, I see. And how are those new abilities developing? :'''Rex:''' Just fine. Thanks for asking. Here's what I bet you're thinking, "did we really think this plan through? Was using some poor dude as a decoy the best move?" :'''Van Kleiss:''' I suppose only time will tell. Not as strong as you thought. :'''Rex:''' Not yet. That time I really thought I had it, okay? Ohh! :'''Noah:''' How awesome was that? :'''Rex:''' What part-- You clobbering Van Kleiss or Van Kleiss clobbering me? :'''Noah:''' Well, both, actually. :'''Rex:''' Hold on. I need a second to think of a really good dig. :''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' :'''Rex:''' Why are you smiling? We just owned you. It's over, Van Kleiss. You lose! :'''Noah:''' That was the best you could come up with. "You lose"? :'''Rex:''' That one didn't count. He caught me off guard with the whole smiling thing, okay? :'''Van Kleiss:''' You'd be wise to consider delaying your celebration for the moment, Rex. You're about to have your hands quite full. :'''Rex:''' Oh, really? And how do you figure that? :'''Noah:''' Aah! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Here's the part where you must be thinking, "did I think this plan through?" :'''Rex:''' Noah! :''[Noah growls]'' :'''Rex:''' Are you nuts?! Stop it! :'''Six:''' Stand down! :'''Rex:''' Take it easy, Noah. You're going to be okay. This will all be over in a second. Great. Just great. :'''Six:''' Go! :'''Rex:''' Noah, if you can still understand me, when I said you should let things go, this isn't exactly what I meant. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Headache. It should be about balance, you know? Take care of the important stuff, but leave room for a little fun. Right now! Too much fun! :''[Rex screaming]'' :'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! Everything's fine. Not a problem. :'''Six:''' If you can't stop him, it's going to be. :'''Rex:''' You know, Six, you really need to learn to think positive. :''[Diane Farrah and Reporter gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Stupid grin. It's like it's all just a game to him. :'''Determined grandmother:''' I know you! :'''Rex:''' Yeah, uh, thanks, but-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' You're that "tex" kid from Providence. :'''Rex:''' Oh, Rex. Ma'am, this really isn't-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' I have a bone to pick with Providence. Do you realize how awful it's been? :''[Rex chuckles]'' :'''Rex:''' Funny story, he's actually my friend, so as soon as I can catch him-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' Every single night, someone moves my glasses. I leave them on the nightstand, and when I wake up, they're on the dresser! :'''Rex:''' Glasses? :'''Determined grandmother:''' There's got to be an EVO in my house. Some of them only come out at night, you know. :'''Rex:''' Uh-huh. :'''Determined grandmother:''' Now, I keep calling you people, but no one will give me the time of day over there. So, you tell me-- How am I supposed to feel safe when there is an EVO in my apartment?! :'''Rex:''' Here. First number on speed dial. :'''Determined grandmother:''' He's eating the cat food, too! :'''Bobo:''' That friend of yours is a walking disaster. I'm starting to like the kid. :'''Six:''' We'll get this. Go. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me? :'''Rex:''' A little busy right now, doc. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Then I'll make it quick. The active nanites Van Kleiss create are highly unstable. If Noah isn't cured soon, his condition will be permanent. :'''Rex:''' How long do I have? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's probably different for each infected person, but I calculate less than an hour. :'''Rex:''' Noah, you have to listen to me. If I don't change you back, this is not going to turn out well. Please. Let me help you. No! No! Thanks a lot, guys! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Noah, I'm serious! Stop playing around! :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' This isn't a game, Noah! Huh. Maybe it should be. Okay, Noah. I give up! You're it! Better not be another train. All right! :''[Noah roaring]'' :'''Rex:''' Aw, no. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Well, what do you know? I'm "it" again. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, any luck? :'''Rex:''' Yep. I got him. Stand by. This isn't going to hurt. I promise. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? :'''Rex:''' I'm too late. I don't believe this. My best friend's an EVO forever-- And not even a cool EVO. He's the annoying, breaks-stuff kind. :''[Noah belches]'' :'''Rex:''' Ugh! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, it might not be Noah. Your biometrics have flat-lined. :'''Rex:''' All that running around. He just wore me out. Did you hear that? It's me, not you. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' Just give me a minute. :''[Noah roaring]'' :'''Rex:''' Noah, don't even-- No, no, no, no, no. No! No! I don't believe this. You really need a hobby, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I thought we could settle things without distraction. Here is as good a place as any. :'''Rex:''' I already kicked your butt once today. Ready to go again? :'''Van Kleiss:''' The question is, are you? It's hardly a fair fight. :'''Rex:''' Oh. Then I promised to go easy on you. What? You think I don't have my powers or something? I'm about to give you the pounding of the century! Come on, powers. Please come back! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than come after me all the time? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Funny you should ask. :'''Rex:''' Doc? How are those biometrics looking now? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Give it a try. :'''Rex:''' Ah, yeah! It's about time! Machines work. I just hope the important part does. :'''Noah:''' What just happened? :'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? :'''Noah:''' It all kind of hazy. I mostly remember the feeling of... Fun. And I remember you punching me in the face. :'''Rex:''' Yeah. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying to eat me. Come on. We've got a rat to catch. Why so happy? Is this the part where breach shows up and rescues you? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, no. This is the part where she takes your inadequately guarded fuel core. :'''Six:''' Six to post, what's your status? Six to post. :'''Rex:''' Another decoy? :'''Van Kleiss:''' I should share some of the credit with your friend over here. He played the part to perfection. :'''Noah:''' Gee, thanks. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, this would be the part where Breach shows up. :'''Noah:''' I can't believe I did all this. Sounds like I had the time of my life. :'''Rex:''' ''[laughing]'' It almost became your life. Sorry about that. :'''Noah:''' Are you kidding? Just knowing I was a rampaging EVO is cool. I wish I could have remembered at least some of it. :'''Rex:''' It's probably all over the news if you want a replay... At least until you stepped on the news van. :'''Noah:''' Well... ''[Exhales sharply]'' Guess it's back to quadratic equations. :'''Rex:''' I have no idea what those are. I've got somewhere I need to be. See you later. I know. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't care if it's a construction zone. I'm moving back. :'''Six:''' It's all right. Turns out you're not the only one who feels that way. You'll get used to the cold showers. Food, you're on your own. From the top? :'''Rex:''' From the top. :'''Six:''' What were you trying to build, anyway? :'''Rex:''' A water jet. Oh, by the way, I need a new cellphone. :'''Six:''' Yes? :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' It's after my glasses again. :'''Six:''' Glasses? :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' This time I am serious. Now, when are you going to send someone out here? :'''Six:''' Ma'am, I'm... :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' Do you even work for Providence? :'''Six:''' Yes, I work for Providence. :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' What kind of a flimflam outfit is this? :'''Six:''' How did you get this number? ===Wasteland=== ===Tough Love=== ===The Lost Weekend=== :'''Kenwyn:''' What did you to Skwydd? :'''Mouse:''' Just shedding a light light on how dangerous his kind can be. :'''Rex:''' By juicing his powers? What were you thinking? :'''Mouse:''' Most inorganic material explodes when given that kind of molecular jolt, but not not nanites. They convert the energy into power that amplifies an E.V.O.'s abilities to tremendously uncontrollable levels. ===Star-Crossed=== ===Alliance=== :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' And he brought his Pack flunkies. Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach. Circe? Gotta hurry. Their headed straight for... someplace else. Gonna find out where. <hr width80%> :'''Holiday:''' Rex why aren't you fixing that shield regulator? :'''Rex:''' Hint. You may remember him from such schemes as destroying Providence headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth. :'''Holiday:''' Van Kliess, in there? You're right. You should investigate after you fix the shield. :'''Rex:''' Then it might be too late. :'''Holiday:''' She's there, isn't she? :'''Rex:''' Who? Breach? Yeah, but... :'''Holiday:''' A quick recon and that's it. <hr width80%> :'''Van Kleiss:''' Intriguing. An entire urban branch of EVO. development. :'''Biowulf:''' This place is a waste of our time. :'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss knows what he's doing. It's not your place to question. :'''Biowulf:''' Question?! You dare accuse me of disloyalty?! :'''Circe:''' Sorry. Get a grip! <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' You're right, you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to anyway? :'''Biowulf:''' I do not know. :'''Circe:''' You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything. :'''Biowulf:''' Of course he does! He just-- :'''Rex:''' Hey! Easy on the stealth suit, which apparently, isn't so stealthy. <hr width80%> :'''NoFace:''' Invaders have come before. They brought only pain. :'''Van Kleiss:''' It is a pain we both share. The same Providence outsides attacked my lands, destroyed my army. :'''NoFace:''' There was one who tormented us, humiliated us. The grower of machines. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ah, Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple: You control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide the escape and the vengeance you seek. I can be your liberator. You can be my general. Together we will crush our enemies, starting with the one you hate most. Now are we-- :'''Biowulf:''' Master, I have a report. :'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[irritated]'' This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the sightest detail without bothering me? :'''Biowulf:''' Of course, Master. It was nothing. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Here comes the moment when our brave hero sweeps the girl of her feet! Literally! :'''Biowulf:''' Don't let him. :'''Circe:''' Hey! Let-- :'''Rex:''' ''[flies off with Circe in his arms]''' See you around, henchie! :'''Biowulf:''' ''[to Skalamander]'' Follow them. <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' Down, now! :'''Rex:''' Not till we hear each other out! :'''Circe:''' Sure! I'll go first. :''[Breaks the Bogie Pack with a hypersonic burst, causing them to fall]'' :'''Rex:''' Oh, great. Way to go, Circe. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' Our hero pursues the girl of his dreams, heedless of her attempts to break his heart... along with the rest of him. Circe, just one minute, okay? Look-No powers! :'''Circe:''' One minute! But if this is about leaving the Pack-- :'''Rex:''' Please. I'm way past that. There are bigger things going here than who you hang out with. :'''Circe:''' Fifty seconds! :'''Rex:''' I wasn't sent here to spy on you. I'm here to stop these things from ever getting out. :'''Circe:''' Forty! Why are you telling me this? You know who I am! :'''Rex:''' You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone. :'''Circe:''' Thirty seconds! :'''Rex:''' I do know who you are, Circe. Just for once think for yourself. Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, maybe even a bit crazy, nuts, certifiably insane! : '''Circe:''' Shut up! Twenty! Talk about blinded. Did you ever wonder why Van Kleiss is so interested in you? :'''Rex:''' Oh, I don't know. Maybe he wants me dead? :'''Circe:''' Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking. Saying you have something that's the key to everything. For whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex. He'd never let you be killed. :'''Rex:''' Never, huh? :'''Circe:''' Time's up! <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Now this looks like a party. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rex, you never cease to amaze me. <hr width80%> :'''No-Face:''' Defiler! Give him to us! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will yoh agree to my leadership? :'''No-Face:''' We agree to it! Give him to us! Now! Now! Now! :'''Circe:''' ''[very shocked]''' Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so that you could-- He'll kill him! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were... before. He's yours. :''[Tears well up in Circe's eyes; thoroughly horrified that her master would calmly allow Rex's life to be put at risk]'' <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' ''[weakly]''' Is this what you wanted? :''[Collapses from his inquiries, causing Circe to open her eyes]'' :'''Circe''' ''[tearful, pleading]'': Stop this! Please! You need him alive! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Alive, yes. Heart pumping, lungs breathing, but his mind? The less there's left of that, the better. Circe, I warn you: Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished! <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' You, Biowulf, even me. We're all just means to an end for him. He doesn't really care for any of us. :'''Rex:''' So you finally figured that out. Better late than never, I guess. :'''Circe:''' It's not too late! Not if I have anything to say about it! :''[Extends her fleshly and grotesque EVOs mouth]'' :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! Whoa! There are some of us who might not like the sound of whatever you're about to do! :'''Circe:''' I'll adjust the frequency to exclude friendly EVOs. :'''Bobo:''' Does that include me? :'''Circe:''' For now. :''[Uses her melodious, hypnotic singing to call back the EVOs escaping]'' :'''Rex:''' I thought you said you could filter it. :'''Circe:''' It's not an exact science. <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss. :'''Rex:''' Breach'll get him out... eventually. But right now he's in there, you're out here. You don't have a better opportunity to consider your options. :''[Notice the two of them holding hands and let go, blushing]'' :'''Bobo:''' What is it stealing from our own people that's so dang satisfying? :'''Circe:''' You forget to remove the tracker. I'm not going to Providence. :'''Rex:''' Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that you want to go there. That said. I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year. ===Robo Bobo=== ===Divide By Six=== :'''One''': ''[Speaking through Rex]'' Six. :'''Six''': One? :'''One''': You left this place, quit life as a mercenary and so rarely returned to visit. :'''Six''': I did what I felt was right, I never meant to dishonor. :'''One''': So rarely, that I never had time to tell you how proud you've made me. :'''Six''': ''[Takes off his glasses for the first time in the series]'' We're going to help you. We're going to take you home. :'''One''': But Six, I am home. ''[Rex falls unconscious while One's body starts changing. Eventually his body dissolves and fertilizes the entire island to its former splendor]'' : '''Six:''' He's still One. He's just one with everything. ===Mixed Signals=== : '''Rex:''' Whoa, big guy! Someone needs to ease off on the cheeseburgers. : '''Six:''' Skip the insults. Start the containment. : '''Rex:''' Like its feelings are going to get hurt. One bad and ugly going down. What? : '''Six:''' Rex? Rex! : '''Rex:''' Cool! : '''Six:''' You want to explain this? : '''Rex:''' I don't know. It's like some weird vision of this thing filled my head, then built itself out of me. Maybe the vision came from Blobbo. Maybe it's trying to talk to me. Come on, big boy. Send me some more pictures. What's on your mind? : '''Six:''' Groceries. That's what's on its mind. : '''Rex:''' I'm skipping. I'm over it. That vision must have been a fluke. : '''Six:''' All right, then. We're going with a two-prong attack. Use caution. This kind of EVO might be a splitter. Rex! Snap out of it! : '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I wasn't supposed to do that, right? : '''Six:''' Rex, I want you back at HQ. : '''Rex:''' But I feel okay now. And we've got, um-- Two blobs to put down. : '''Six:''' Now! : '''Holiday:''' No trace of any recent electrochemical or DNA abnormalities. Everything reads normal. : '''Rex:''' But it's like the visions were being transmitted, and I was seeing it from a nanite point of view. : '''Holiday:''' I can't track it, Rex. There's no sign of signal displacement or a nano disturbance. Maybe we should consider the possibility that this is psychological. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Pizza. : '''Holiday:''' I think he's having another vision. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Of lunch? : '''Rex:''' With pineapple and salmon. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Blech! He is nuts. : '''Holiday:''' Aside from a strange choice in pizza toppings, all readings are normal. I can't explain it. : '''Rex:''' Well, if my nanites are trying to get me to build something, maybe we should give them what they want. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Whatever it is, I'm not eating it. Is that my electric toothbrush? : '''Rex:''' It better not be the one I've been using. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Oh. : '''Rex:''' This is what I'm seeing in my head. As stupid as it looks. It's like someone or something is sending me instructions to build some big device. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Or build a pizza with pineapple and salmon. : '''Rex:''' Okay. I'm not sure about that vision. : '''Holiday:''' Is that my hairdryer? : '''Rex:''' I just need to figure out what it does. Maybe it's a time machine. Or-- Or alien technology! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Maybe it's just a big pile of junk. Or a way to order a really awful pizza. : '''Contraption Voice:''' Target acquired. : '''Holiday:''' Rex! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Wake up! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Provindece Soldier #1:''' Hey, where do you think you're going? We've got a security breach. Front floor. : '''Providence Soldier #2:''' Lockdown protocols enabled. All hands report to duty station. Security speed, take position. : '''Rex:''' Sorry, guys. I might be a little... late. : '''Caesar:''' Case compression. Release. : '''Rex:''' Figures I'd build a machine with a serious attitude problem. : '''Caesar:''' ''[taking off his helmet and turns to Rex]'' Rex, is that you? : '''Rex:''' Who’s asking? : '''Caesar:''' It’s me, Caesar, your brother! Mijo! ''[Hugs Rex]'' You're alive and... older. ''[Rex is dumbfounded]'' Uh. Atomic clock was right... ''[spanish accent]'' Es una problema grande. : '''Rex:''' Uh, yeah. ''[Pushes Caesar]'' It is a big problem. : '''Caesar:''' What is this place? Who are you people? ''[to Rex]'' I'm getting you out of here! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Sorry, amigo. Put your hands up. Or don't. I got a clear shot either way. : '''Caesar:''' ''[is looking at Bobo]'' A talking chimp? : '''Bobo Haha:''' Don't bother. I've heard all the jokes. : '''Caesar:''' Have they hurt you? Are you okay? Stand aside. : '''Rex:''' Hello? Do I get a say in this? : '''Holiday:''' If you're part of some elaborate plan to kidnap Rex, then you failed. : '''Caesar:''' Listen, bonita, you don't wanna make me use this. : '''Rex:''' ''[gets in between them]'' Enough! Normally around here when someone barges in talking crazy, they get around into the deck plates by my giant fists. But you seem legit. I'm going with him. : '''Holiday:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Okay, brother. Lead the way. So if you are my brother, where have you been all this time? : '''Caesar:''' I'll explain later when we're safe. : '''Rex:''' Uh, this is Providence. We are safe. Usually. : '''Caesar:''' Providence? Never heard of it. To be honest, the last five years has been a bit of a blur. : '''Rex:''' I want to believe you, but I'm gonna need some proof. : '''Caesar:''' Your name is Rex Salazar. Our parents are Violetta and Raphael. The last time I saw you was at the Applied Nanite Research Lab in Abysus; right before those fools triggered a replication cycle. : '''Rex:''' And I have total amnesia so, for all I know, that could be completely bogus. : '''Caesar:''' There's a scar on the back of your left knee you got when you were seven, riding the gantry arm in the reactor annex. : '''Rex:''' Hmm. I always wondered how I got that. :''[they go out and Rex notices Caesar Salazar's pod laboratory]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice wheels. : '''Six:''' ''[Comes out and unsheathed his swords]'' Don't even think about it. : ''[Caesar is about to attack but Rex stops him]'' : '''Rex:''' It's okay. Six isn't going to hurt you. Right, Six? You're comming in a little late on this, but, uh, this is Caesar, my brother, and he wants to get me out of here. So, let's just let my brother have his way and see where this all goes. Wherever you plan on going, they're going to follow us. You know that, right? : '''Caesar:''' They can try. : '''Rex:''' I don't know. Providence ship are pretty fast. : '''Six:''' Track Rex's bio signature and find out who that guy really is. : '''Rex:''' You ain't kidding. This thing moves fast. A-are we in the arctic? : '''Caesar:''' How do you think I got to your location so quickly once the locator signaled me? : '''Rex:''' Locator? You sent me the schematics to build that thing? It tried to crush me like a bug! : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, mijo. I wasn't really trying to hurt. ''[scans Rex's body]'' I was looking for what's hiding inside of you. ''[showing Rex the result]'' The Omega One Nanite. : '''Rex:''' That thing? Holiday discovered it before. We had no idea what it was. : '''Caesar:''' I sent signal instructions for the Omega One to track and contain. But since the nanite has integrated into your DNA, you became the conduit for building the machine. What I don't get is how the Omega One got inside of you. Rylander was supposed to have that under lock and key. : '''Rex:''' Rylander? He's the one who put it inside me. : '''Caesar:''' Why would he do a thing like that? I'm really gonna have to let old fool have it when I see him. : '''Rex:''' Not possible-- Courtesy of Van Kleiss. : '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss?! What does that third-rate lab hack have to do with this? : '''Rex:''' What? I guess I’m not the only one who needs an update. Where have you been? : '''Caesar:''' It's a long story-- actually, short by my clock. A splinter group had formed at the lab. They had other ideas about how the nanites would be used. We tried to stop them, and you were hurt. The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites. It was risky, but it worked. We thought that'd be enough to stop the others, make them see the right path. But we were wrong. Mom and Dad were in the reactor. As for me, I managed to escape in my lab. But the shock wave, the same shock wave that probably blanked your memory.... also interfered with engine that powers this pod. I was stuck in sub-light drive. : '''Rex:''' How long? : '''Caesar:''' Fifteen minutes. That's how long it took me to reboot the system. But at the speed I was going, it was 5 years of your time. I knew there was an accident, but I had no idea how bad. My nanite sensors were off the charts. My 1st priority was to insure the OM-1 was safe. That was our promise. And here we are. So, what have I missed these past five years? : '''Rex:''' Providence? We need to talk. They can wait. : '''Caesar:''' So let me understand, there are EVOs and Van Kleiss claimed as their leader? : '''Rex:''' Well, not for all of them, yet. I want to know about me, about our parents. : '''Caesar:''' They were scientists. We lived all over the world. Things settled down when you came along. That was in Geneva. : '''Rex:''' Wait a second. Are you saying I'm Swiss? : ''Caesar:'' Not really. Mother was born in Mexico City. Father in Buenos Aires. : '''Rex:''' And they're really... gone? ''[Caesar slowly nods sadly]'' : '''Rex:''' Um, where exactly did this ship take us? : '''Caesar:''' What do you know?We're back at the original lab site. : '''Rex:''' You mean the one in Abysus? : '''Caesar:''' Is that a problem? : '''Rex:''' I'd say just a small one. We should go, like now. : '''Caesar:''' ''[typing]'' Hmm... Must be low on charge. ''[walks out the door]'' We may be stuck, but on the bright side, I can take a look at some of these variegated organisms. ''[goes out]'' : '''Rex:''' Caesar! Wait! : ''[outside and observing the EVOs]'' : '''Caesar:''' Fascinating. We theorized mutations might occur but never anything this random. : ''[Rex hits the EVO before they got near Caesar]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Sorry, bro, but these guys-- : ''[Rex hits another EVO]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Usually don't sit still for questions. : '''Caesar:''' ''[seeing Rex's new build]'' Hmm... That's new. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Guess I've learned a-- : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' A few tricks. But they still won't be enough if Van Kleiss shows up with all his goons. Six! : '''Six:'''We're locked onto you. The keep is already on its way. : '''Rex:''' Your ship may be out of juice, but I'm not. Hop on. I can get us out of here. : '''Caesar:''' I won't leave my lab, and you definitely don't want Van Kleiss getting his hands on some of the things in here. I'll try to reroute the capacitors to an alternate power source. : '''Caesar:''' Oh, you wanna see a photo of you, me, and papi? Maybe later. : '''Rex:''' You're a little off, aren't you, Caesar? : '''Biowulf:''' What was that machine it flew off with? : '''Van Kleiss:''' A laboratory. One I thought I'd never see again. It seems an old friend has returned-Caesar. : '''Rex:''' Providence isn't so bad now, eh, hermano? : '''Caesar:''' Is this a Grinnell? They always made good consoles, except for the random power surges. : '''Six:''' Well? : '''Rex:''' Everything's cool. He's a little kooky, but I'm pretty sure he's my brother. : '''Six:''' Glad to hear it. Now I need you back. We still have some unfinished business. : '''Rex:''' Got to get back to work. : '''Caesar:''' My little brother, the hero. I remember when you just wanted to be a musician. : '''Rex:''' Guitar? No, wait drums. : '''Caesar:''' Accordion. : '''Rex:''' You got to be kidding me! : '''Six:''' As I recall, you started it. : '''Rex:''' Huh? : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Six:''' The EVO is dividing faster than we can contain it. The city is being evacuated. : '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Excuse me, admiral. I need you to take me down there immediately. Afraid I'll have to insist. : '''Six:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Are you crazy?! : '''Caesar:''' Depends on who you ask. I had something in my lab that I thought could help. : '''Six:''' Help? You're not even supposed to be outside the keep. : '''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Way to go, bro! First day on the job, and you already got a save! : '''Six:''' Job? : '''Rex:''' Oh, come on, admit it, Six. He just saved our chicharrones. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' What? What's so funny? : '''Caesar:''' You always make me laugh when you try to speak Spanish. : '''Holiday:''' We've pulled his records, and I've confirmes his DNA. It seems Rex really does have a brother. : '''White Knight:''' If everything I've read about him is true, he could be an incredible asset to Providence. : '''Six:''' Or a major liability. : '''White Knight:''' All the more reason to keep him with us. Give him whatever he needs. : '''Holiday:''' White's right, Six. He knows more about nanites than anyone on the planet. He helped invent them. : '''Six:''' My point exactly. He's settling in? : '''Rex:''' I guess so. Caesar's a little strange. Hard to believe he's actually my brother. : '''Six:''' I'm happy for you, Rex. You always said you wanted to find your family. : '''Rex:''' Thanks, but... You know that? I already did. Caesar may be my brother, but you, Holiday, Bobo, you're who I have a connection with. : '''Bobo:''' Aww, now, see, I'm getting all misty. : '''Caesar:''' There you are. Hmm. Nice view. Say, mijo, you think your cafeteria could whip up a pizza with pineapple and salmon? I've been craving one for days. : '''Bobo:''' Connection, huh? ===Outpost=== :'''Alvarez:''' Did you hear that? Aah! :'''Providence Agent:''' Alvarez! :'''Valentina:''' He will be fine in a few hours. :'''Providence Agent:''' Drop it. :'''Valentina:''' I was planning to. :''[Alvarez grunts]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' They are free. :'''Valentina:''' Muy bueno. Providence is now at war with the Green Fist! :'''Rex:''' Come on, doc. Are you serious? Another one? Ouch! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Oh, this is really necessary. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The rainforest is rife with diseases, poisonous insects, and worse. I don't want you coming down with anything. :'''White Knight:''' Is he ready to go? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' As ready as he'll ever be. :'''Rex:''' He's wondering how come Six doesn't have to get a shot if he's also going? :'''White Knight:''' Six is still in New Zealand, dealing with a... Small problem. :'''Rex:''' Oh sure. Let him deal with the small stuff. While I do all the hard work. :'''White Knight:''' ''[to Rex]'' We don't have time to wait for him. You're going solo. :'''Bobo:''' Hey! Where he goes, I go. :'''White Knight:''' Like I said-- Solo. Now, this Green Fist group have been stealing EVOs all over South America. We believe they will hit Corazon de Selva next. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The Providence station there has just captured a large batch of EVOs in the jungle. :'''Rex:''' Bobo and I are ready to roll. :'''White Knight:''' Be careful. For all we know, the Green Fist could be selling EVOs to Van Kleiss. :'''Bobo:''' I'm ready for carnival! Let's party! :''[White Knight clears throat]'' :'''White Knight:''' The situation down there is... complex. I need both of you to handle the mission quietly and with diplomacy. :'''Rex:''' I can be diplomatic. Oh, by the way, you might want to think about switching to low-fat, White. Starting to look at little... Jowly. :'''Bobo:''' Better leave the diplomacy to the small one. :'''Rex:''' This is the town? :'''Bobo:''' Something tells me they're not in the mood to party. Maybe a knock-knock joke would lighten things up? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You must be Rex. :'''Rex:''' You're Agent Martrello? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You may call me "Oso", my friend. :'''Rex:''' White Knight said to send his regards. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Maybe he could come visit sometime, get some sun, see what it's like on the front lines nowadays? ''[laughing. Then to Bobo]'' This must be the monkey. He does tricks? Hello, señor Bobo. :'''Bobo:''' ''[puts his palm to Oso's mouth]'' That's "Agent Haha" to you, buddy. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Come. The station is not fair. :'''Bobo:''' Doesn't anybody mow the grass around here? :''[Oso Maretelo chuckles]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Often. But the jungle can only be kept at bay, not subdued. :''[Oso Maretelo grunting]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' There we go. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Apologies. The air-conditioning is down again. :'''Bobo:''' Makes our place look like the penthouse suite. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' But who needs air-conditioning? We're here to work! The kennel is this way. Most of these EVOs we brought in last week from deep in the jungle. A tempting target for the Green Fist. :'''Rex:''' Whoa. It's packed in here! What are you gonna do with all of them? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The big ones are shipped to larger facilities, like yours. These smaller ones stay here. They're really quite harmless, but the world wants EVOs captured, so we keep them. Oh, careful! This EVO is not like the rest. Took down six of my agents before we caught it. :'''Rex:''' Is it really tiny or something? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' That's strange. He was here this morning, he can't have escaped. Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Peekaboo. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Yah! :'''Rex:''' You all right there, buddy? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' I think you've both earned that cold drink you wanted. :'''Rex:''' See? This gig isn't so bad. Cold drinks, fringe benefits. :'''Bobo:''' It's on the fringe, all right, but I don't see the benefit. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Drink, Agent Haha. Horchata, the rice milk, is good for you. Besides... It's all they serve here. :'''Rex:''' I think it's pretty good, but how come we can't get any service? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' We're Providence. All they know is when there's trouble, Providence is there. Our relationship with them is, uh, complex. :'''Rex:''' Complex? We protect them from EVOs. You know, this calls for a little diplomacy. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. :'''Rex:''' Excuse me. :'''Waitress:''' ¿Sí? :'''Rex:''' Uh... Uh... :''[Waitress chuckles]'' :'''Waitress:''' You don't look like the usual Providence soldiers. :'''Rex:''' That's 'cause I'm not. Name's Rex. Maybe you've seen me on the news? :'''Waitress:''' No. :'''Rex:''' Uh, what's that? :'''Waitress:''' The horchata anejo. It's aged. Muy sabrosa. :'''Rex:''' I'll take a pitcher of that. :'''Waitress:''' We only make one pitcher a night. They have it. :'''Rex:''' Hey, mind if I try some? :'''Valentina:''' It's too strong for you, gringo. :'''Rex:''' Gringo? So Mexicano! :'''Valentina:''' Y tambien eres Providencia. Okay. Let's see if you can handle it. :'''Rex:''' Gracias. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex gulps]'' :'''Rex:''' Ugh! That's good! Smooth! :''[Rex gagging]'' :''[Oso Maratelo laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' ''[after taking a drink]'' I don't get what makes it so special. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' It's made from rice that's passed through the digestive system of a monkey. :''[Rex spits his drink]'' :''[Valentina growls]'' :''[Biruta grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa! :''[Woman gasps]'' :''[Woman grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Woman:''' Aah! :'''Old Man:''' Aah! :'''Man:''' Aah! :'''Biruta:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' I can't use my EVO powers against them! I don't want to hurt these people! :'''Bobo:''' I wish they felt the same about us! :'''Rex:''' Oso, you know how to use one of those? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The lariat? Oh, yes. I grew up roping steer on my Uncle's Rancho. :'''Bobo:''' Rex! :'''Biruta:''' El es un EVO! :''[Valentina sighs]'' :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' So, what do you think of that? Aah! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Waitress:''' ''[tossing Rex, Bobo and Martello out the bar]'' You are like the other Providence agents-- Bad for business! :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' This is where diplomacy gets you, my young friend. Now, are you up for a stakeout? :'''Bobo:''' Not me! I'm out of with this town and these ungrateful people. I'm going home. :'''Rex:''' But, Bobo, we need you for a special undercover mission? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Please, Agent Haha. You are the key to the entire operation. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah? Well, you could have said that before. :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :''[Bobo grunting]'' :'''Biruta:''' Quiet! I'm trying to free you from Providence! :'''Bobo:''' I am Providence, dummy. :''[Biruta grunts]'' :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' These toys of yours-- They're for children! :''[Biruta grunts]'' :''[Valentina grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Who're you working for? :''[Valentina grunts]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' You?! Horchata girl?! What do you think you're doing?! :'''Valentina:''' I'm feeding all your prisoners, creep! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah! :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! :'''Rex:''' Scratch marks? Weird. What the heck did this? :''[Valentina screams]'' :'''Valentina:''' Huh? Aah! :'''Rex:''' Take a number! I have business with the señorita first. Aah! :''[Valentina grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Aah! Aah! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Bobo:''' Hyah! :'''Valentina:''' Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, and stay down! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, you okay? :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I feel... fine. I hope Holiday gave me a shop or whatever that was. :'''Valentina:''' For the last time, we don't work for Van Kleiss! The Green Fist fights for the EVOs who cannot fight for themselves. We set them free-- Nothing more. :''[Bobo snorts]'' :'''Bobo:''' Just what we need-- Humans for ethical treatment of EVOs. :'''Valentina:''' Ugh! We were returning them to their natural habitat! What Providence does is wrong and against the natural order of things! ''[to Rex]'' You're a traitor to your own kind! :'''Rex:''' That thing you set free-- It's natural order is to exterminate mankind! It wanted to kill you! Your men are dying because of it. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I wish I had better news. :'''Rex:''' Thanks anyway, doc. We'll call with updates. :'''Bobo:''' What did she say? :'''Rex:''' The nanites in my system are fighting off the toxin, but that's only slowing it down. We need to make an anti-toxin, or-- or... :'''Valentina:''' Or se va a morir! :'''Bobo:''' In English! In English! :'''Rex:''' It's doing to me what it's done to Valentina's men. If we don't get the anti-toxin soon, they'll die, and, eventually, I will, too. :'''Bobo:''' Think I liked it better in Spanish. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' If I can get a blood sample of that EVO with this, it'll beam its DNA sequence back to Holiday and she'll be able to instantly synthesize an anti-toxin. :'''Rex:''' I want to go. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You're sick. :'''Bobo:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' I'm better equipped than any agent you have, and you know it. :''[Oso Maretelo sighs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Very well. You'll come with me and a team of my best men. :'''Valentina:''' You're killing him if you do that. Listen, you need me, Providence man. I know that jungle better than anyone. Your big, noisy party will alert that EVO. You won't get within a mile of it. My men are dying, too. Let me free! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You think I'm going to let you just walk out of here alone? :'''Rex:''' No. I'm going, too. :''[Bobo grunting]'' :'''Bobo:''' Aah! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Anything yet? :'''Rex:''' Nothing. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, once you get the sample of the EVO's blood for the anti-toxin, I'll pick you up in the jump jet. White Knight wants you sticking to his orders, nothing more-- Capture the EVO and bring back the prisoner. :'''Rex:''' Gotcha. :'''Valentina:''' Orders? Prisoners? You wonder why we're suspicious of Providence. :'''Rex:''' We're protecting people. What we're doing is good. I believe that. :'''Valentina:''' You think I don't believe in what I do? Who decides who's right-- Your White Knight? :''[Bobo snoring]'' :'''Rex:''' All we found out here are goats from the village-- At least what's left of them. :''[Rex groans]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Valentina:''' You all right? :'''Rex:''' I'm fine. Let's just hope this trap works. :''[Bobo snoring]'' :'''Bobo:''' ''[to the creature]'' Hey, pal, didn't anybody tell you the trap's over there? Aah! :'''Valentina:''' We've caught him! :'''Bobo:''' No! You caught me! Big difference! :'''Rex:''' Aaah! That's it. No more running. Hyah! Ahh! Okay, time for more running! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Ahh! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Adiós! Aah! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' The toxins are breaking down my nanites! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Valentina:''' Over here! Come and get me! :'''Rex:''' Don't! It'll kill you! :'''Valentina:''' You're too ill to fight it! :'''Rex:''' Look, put down the flower basket and trust me. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' On my signal. Come on. Don't you want a nice Rex burger for breakfast? Not yet. Not yet. Now! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Valentina:''' You caught it. You've saved my men. :'''Rex:''' We caught it... Together. First my cure... Now his. I don't believe it. This thing... It isn't an EVO. :'''Valentina:''' The fangs, the toxin... The goat! Of course! How could I have been so blind? This animal is a chupacabra! :'''Rex:''' Chupacabra? Isn't that a myth, like bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster? :'''Valentina:''' I thought it was only a legend, too. :'''Rex:''' Providence must have come blundering onto its home turf and captured it. :'''Valentina:''' So... What will you do? :'''Rex:''' Only one option, as far as I see it. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Go on. Get! Get! :'''Valentina:''' There are things in this jungle stranger than EVOs and older than man. :'''Rex:''' Well, as long as they stay here, we won't have anymore problems. Doc, did the sample beam through okay? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm synthesizing the anti-toxin right now. It'll be at the base by the time Oso picks you up. :'''Rex:''' He'll be here soon with the jump set. You better get going. :'''Valentina:''' Your orders were to bring me back. :'''Rex:''' I don't always follow orders. :'''Valentina:''' Thank you. This still doesn't make up for spitting the horchata in my face. :'''Bobo:''' Ooh, slick. If it was me, I would have kissed her. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The anti-toxin will have you back to normal within the hour. Now, what happened with the woman? :'''Rex:''' She, uh, got away. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' I see. You're learning, my friend. It's complex. A woman like that-- It makes our problems with EVOs seem simple, no? :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Safe journey, my friends. I hope to see you again. :'''Bobo:''' That makes one of us. :'''Waitress:''' Wait! For your trip! :'''Rex:''' Uh... Gracias. How'd I earn this? :'''Waitress:''' I heard what you did. The chupacabra-- It stole my abuela's goat. Providence is going to buy her a new one. Thank you. :''[Waitress smooches]'' :'''Bobo:''' Hey, if that's all it took to make you happy, we would have run off with the goat when we first came to town. Aah! Aw! Some thanks! ===Haunted=== ===Moonlighting=== ===Without a Paddle=== ===Written in Sand=== :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I need an uptade. :'''Rex''': I'm right at the edge. Anything still alive in there is trying to get away from the sandstorm. :'''Dr. Holiday''': It's not the storm they're running from. The nanites inside them are forcing the animals away. It's creating a kind of nanite-free zone. :'''Rex''': Ha! We should call White Knight. Maybe he'll move here and leave us all alone. :'''Dr. Holiday''': It's no laughing matter, Rex. It could be the most significant development since the original nanite event. :'''Rex''': Yeah, yeah. Possible cures save the world-- Got it. I'll check it out. :'''Bobo''': Hey, doc. You may wanna get a load of this over here. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Negative. The storm is moving in too fast. Just place a sensor and pack it in. :'''Rex''': Hey. No. It couldn't be. Rex to base. We got trouble of the egomaniacal EVO kind. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Van Kleiss is here? Why am I not surprised? :'''Rex''': I think the real question is, if everything else is in such a race to get out, why is he going on? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, wait. :'''Rex''': Don't worry, doc. It's me. What could possibly happen? :'''Skalamander''': RARGH! PTUH! They're nothing but dirt. :'''Biowulf''': My senses-- Useless in all this sand. :'''Van Kleiss''': This phenomenon deserves my personal attention. What we seek is nearby. I can feel it pushing against me. :'''Rex''': ''[Rex emerges from the sand storm]'' Yeah? :''[Skalamander grunts]'' :'''Rex''': ''[Rex kicks Skalamander]'' How about kicking against you, too? :'''Van Kleiss''': Rex! You're not welcome here. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Now, that hurt my feelings! :''[Rex groaning]'' :''[Skalamander pins him to the sand, causing him to groan in pain]'' :''[Skalamander laughs]'' :'''Rex''': Aaah! Whoa! :'''Van Kleiss''': If I never see your face again, It will be too soon! :'''Rex''': Yeah? The feeling's-- Whoa! Mutual! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex? Rex, do you read me? :''[Bobo coughing]'' :'''Bobo''': Okay, we gotta get outta here. I got sand in places I didn't even know I had places. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, if you can hear me, we're retreating to the safe zone. Rendezvous with us there. :'''Rex''': AAAAH! WHOA-OHHHHHHH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex coughs]'' :'''Rex''': Okay, Kleiss-- Go time! No EVO allies, just you and-- Whoa! Uh, sorry, buddy. Didn't mean to bring you along for the ride. :'''Van Kleiss''': I don't need my EVO allies, when I can simply make more. :'''Rex''': Don't get me wrong-- I love punching stuff. But anything you can do, I can undo better! We can do this all day. Or you can just spill it. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': Why are you causing this nanite-free zone? :'''Van Kleiss''': How convenient it must be to make me the root of all evil. I'm not causing it. I've come to discover the source and destroy it. :'''Rex''': This could be the cure to nanites. :'''Van Kleiss''': And I live off nanites. What Providence calls a cure, I call death. :'''Rex''': Really? Haven't we moved past this? :'''Van Kleiss''': Huh? :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :''[After Van Kleiss creates a scorpion EVO to attack Rex, it attacks him instead.]'' :'''Rex''': That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hang on-- I got to get this on video. ''[Takes out cell phone and starts recording Van Kleiss dodging the scorpion EVO.]'' :''[Van Kleiss panting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Something's wrong. I should be controlling this creature. :'''Rex''': Stinks to be you. Huh? You ruined my shot! :'''Van Kleiss''': I believe we've found something more interesting. :'''Rex''': You like to point out the obvious, don't you? :'''Bobo''': Don't get me wrong-- I love the kid, but if we don't pull stakes now, we'll be combing dust outta all sorts of places for years. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Too late. Hold on to everything that's not tied down. This is going to be a bumpy... ride. :'''Six''': Holiday? I trust you're all right? :'''Dr. Holiday''': I'm fine, Six. But Rex is still out there-- With Van Kleiss. I can't reach him. :'''Six''': We'll prep a rescue party. Prepare to come aboard. :'''Rex''': Hey! :'''Van Kleiss''': This is not simply a nanite-free zone. Something is stealing the nanites from our bodies. If we linger here too long, we may both find ourselves defenseless against the other. :'''Rex''': Well, then, we'd better blow this joint. And when I say "we" I mean "me". :''[Rex tries to escape and fails]'' :'''Rex''': AAAAAAAAH! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': If either of us is to escape this place, we will have to work together. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': What exactly are you suggesting? :'''Van Kleiss''': A temporary truce. :'''Rex''': An extremely temporary truce. :'''Van Kleiss''': We'll work our way to the center of the nanite storm. :'''Rex''': No, we work our way out of the nanite storm and get Providence in here to figure out what's happening. :'''Van Kleiss''': Providence? They can't be trusted. :'''Rex''': Them? Didn't you try to take over New York? And Europe? And the world? :'''Van Kleiss''': You need to listen to me, Rex. Without a powers, you're nothing but a child. :'''Rex''': Oh, yeah? Truce over! Okay. This is awkward. Hey, is it just me, or are you getting really dust? :'''Van Kleiss''': It's happening faster than I thought. :'''Rex''': What's happening faster? If you know something, you'd better spit it out, or-- Whoa! It all looks fossilized. Like it's made completely out of... sand. :'''Van Kleiss''': Not only are there no nanites here, this is pure silicone. There are no other elements-- No carbon, calcium, hydrogen. It appears that this zone not only destroys nanites, but is-- :'''Rex''': Squeezing the life from the Earth. This isn't sand. This is me! :''[Rex whimpering]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': These glyphs-- There's something familiar about them. Sumatran? Mesopotamian? :'''Rex''': Less geeking, more escaping! :'''Van Kleiss''': We need to find the epicenter of this maze. These glyphs may hold the answer. :'''Rex''': Only if one says "exit sign." :'''Van Kleiss''': No need to panic, Rex. We have at least twenty minutes before fossilization-- Give or take. :'''Rex''': "Don't panic"-- Says the guy who used to be dirt. :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Rex''': We're turning into walking litter boxes, and you're checking out caveman graffiti? No wonder I'm always kicking your butt. :'''Van Kleiss''': You don't have an investigative bone in your body, do you? So strongheaded-- Just like your mother. ''[Rex is silent]'' No, you don't like that, do you-- That I know more about you than you do? :'''Rex''': Skip the head games. Isn't exactly a good time. :'''Van Kleiss''': No, but perhaps it is time for some truth. We may perish down here, Rex. Ask me anything you want about the past, and I'll answer it. :'''Rex''': ''[looks at his own slowly fossilizing body]'' Sell it somewhere else. I'm not buying. :''[walks away]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, so the great and powerful Providence has finally come through on their promise to help you remember your past. :'''Rex''': Something better-- Someone who was actually there at the Nanite Event. :'''Van Kleiss''': Aha. Your brother, Caesar. :''[Van Kleiss chuckles evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': I've been following you both very closely since his... miraculous reappearance. Even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, this one's for free. Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be. :'''Rex''': ''[creates his BFS and holds it at Van Kleiss' throat]'' What are you getting at? :'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, no, no. That's not how this works. It isn't my turn. Quid pro quo, Rex. If you want to know more-- Why don't we start with something simple? Rylander's Omega Nanite. I know it's inside you. :'''White Knight''': Status uptade? :'''Six''': Still no fix on Rex. Scanners can't cut through the storm, so we're moving in to stage a recon. :'''White Knight''': I will not risk everyone on board that ship for one agent. Not even that agent. :''[Holiday subtly ends the call. Then to Six]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Whoops. Guess the satellite feed went down. Nasty sand. :''[Six smirks]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Caesar? Wanted you to know we haven’t found him yet. :'''Caesar''': Found who? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. :'''Caesar''': Right. Ah. Sorry. That was, uh, fifteen minutes ago. I've done about five hundred task since then. Try calibrating the keep's sensors to search for traces of Selenium. It's something Rex naturally gives off, like dandruff. :'''Dr. Holiday''': I-- Really? Hmm. Okay, thanks. :'''Van Kleiss''': So what you're saying is, the motor runs off of gravity and the only exhausts are atoms of selenium. :'''Rex''': Now you. Squid Pro... Whatever. The nanites, the Event. What started all this? :'''Van Kleiss''': He didn't tell you? I'm not surprised. It was Caesar. :''[Rex pushes Van Kleiss to nearest wall and take out his BFS once again]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Wasteful, Rex. :'''Rex''': You're lying! :'''Van Kleiss''': Hardly. Your brother is responsible for the most significant catastrophe in human history. You have to admit that as brilliant as Caesar is, he's... not quite right. Am I telling you something that you haven't already noticed? :''[Rex groans]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': HAAAH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss coughing]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': You seem to have awoken some sort of defense mechanism. :'''Rex''': What are they defending? Rocks? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Before we're totally devoid of nanites, we need to end this now-- Together. :'''Rex''': Back to back! :'''Van Kleiss''': What? :'''Rex''': Haven't you ever read a comic book? Back to back! No way. These markings-- They're not hieroglyphics. They're circuit boards. This whole cave, this valley-- It's one giant circuit board. These are data conduits-- Ms. Hubs! :'''Van Kleiss''': You're right. These spirals are solid-state storage-- The standard design for a firewall in a CPU. :'''Rex''': Did you just say I'm right? Now that I know what we're dealing with, it's a simple matter of-- Hacking in. This is malo-- Muy malo. Van Kleiss, meet the psycho computer who calls herself-- :'''Van Kleiss''': Zag-RS? :'''Rex''': How do you know that? ''[Zag-RS notices them and attacks them]'' You know Zag-RS? How? :'''Van Kleiss''': She was designed as a decontamination program at the original nanite laboratory. Her task was to destroy any rogue nanites that escaped from the holding tanks. :'''Rex''': She did a great job. Whoever designed her should be taken out and beaten with a tendril. :'''Van Kleiss''': Caesar designed her. :'''Rex''': I'm gonna have to have a chat with my brother when this is over. :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Focus, you fool. If we're to survive this, we have to use whatever nanites we have left to shut her down. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': No problemo! Ah, come on! Stay up! Show off! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Well, this bites. :''[Rex straining]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Didn't I leave you in orbit? Shouldn't you have burned up in re-entry or something? :'''Zag-RS''': Re-entry resulted in a hard desert landing. This unit faced complete system failure. Salvation came from integration with the host space station power cell, where new initiatives were established. :'''Rex''': Turning the world into a sandbox? :'''Zag-RS''': Correct. The prevention of organic infection by elimination of organic matter and securing the Earth core system. Soon, this world will function without flaw. :'''Rex''': Van Kleiss! Change of plan! While, I've got Zaggy occupied, you go and warn Providence before it's too late! :'''Van Kleiss''': There's no time. Her strength is growing exponentially. To achieve victory, you must trust me. :'''Rex''': Trust you?! That's comedy gold! Even if I was that big of a doof, neither one of us had enough power to fight back! :'''Van Kleiss''': That's not entirely true. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Van Kleiss''': I've not been completely honest with you. :'''Rex''': Stunned-- Really. :'''Van Kleiss''': The Omega Nanite within you has a self-replicating program. You can create your own nanites. :'''Rex''': What?! Why didn't you tell me! :'''Van Kleiss''': A calculated emission. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': No way. :'''Van Kleiss''': There-- That is the heart of Zag-RS. Strike while you can! :'''Rex''': Oh, yeah! Now we're talking! Normally, I don't fight girls, but this time I'll make... A big... giant... robot exception! :'''Dr. Holiday''': I found him, Six-- twenty kilometers northeast. There's a huge spike in trace selenium. :'''Six''': Charge all weapons. :'''Dr. Holiday''': The storm's starting to break. But please don't crash. :'''Rex''': YAAAH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': That's not fair! It worked in the movie! :''[Rex whimpers]'' :''[Rex groaning]'' :'''Rex''': AAAH! :'''Zag-RS''': You have miscalculated, human. The more nanites you replicate, the more energy you supply me. 7.5 seconds until I overtake your production. :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Zag-RS''': 4.3 seconds. :'''Van Kleiss''': AAAAAAAAAH! :'''Rex''': YAAAAAAH! One psycho robot down, one supervillain to chicken! Finally! :'''Bobo''': What, you never heard the term "fashionably late"? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Your nanite-replicating function seems to be working well. Most of Zag-RS' alterations have been expunged. :'''Rex''': Meaning... What? :'''Bobo''': You ain't gonna wash away at high tide. :'''Caesar''': This is my design. :'''Rex''': Great-- My brother created Zag-RS. :'''Caesar''': Evidently. Though her evolution into some sort of sentient nanite-slayer is most curious. :'''Six''': Curious? :'''Rex''': What about what Van Kleiss said? :'''Caesar''': You mean I'm to blame for the original nanite event? Why don't we ask her? Wait! Interface protocols. Code designate Zag-RS. Respond. :'''Zag-RS''': Dr. Salazar. Good morning. How may I assist you? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Stand down, gentlemen. Zag-RS has been successfully rebooted. But her memory has been wiped clean. :'''Rex''': What? You got to be kidding me! :'''Caesar''': That's interesting. Hmm. Van Kleiss must have implemented a program dump before he left you. It's the only logical conclusion. :'''Rex''': Program dump? :'''Van Kleiss''': Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be. :'''Rex''': Great. So now all we've got is a lame decontamination program with a GPS lady's voice? :'''Caesar''': GPS lady? Hardly. :'''Rex:''' I was making a joke. :'''Caesar''': Don't you recognize it? When I programmed her, I wanted a voice that meant safety, protection, caring. Rex, this is our mother's voice. :'''Rex''': ''[shocked]'' Mama? ===Night Falls=== : ''[Caesar's Pod Laboratory arrives at the town of Mexico City]'' : '''Rex:''' Are we there yet? ''[moving his legs and hugs his legs]'' All this futuristic technology and you never thought of adding a bathroom. ''[points at the monitor]'' City Hall! It must have a bathroom! Pull over-- Now! ''[Esteban writing some paperwork as the ground starts to rumble, He immediately ran outside looking at Caesar's research pod landing. The door opens and Rex finally made on solid ground.]'' Baño? : ''[Esteban awkwardly points the bathroom]'' : ''[Rex runs]'' : ''[The elevator in Research pod went up and then down with Caesar]'' : '''Esteban:''' Caesar. ¿Eres tú? : '''Caesar:''' ''[suspecting face]'' Esteban? : '''Esteban:''' It's Mayor Esteban now. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' Mayor? When you ran for class president, Maria Rodriguez got all the votes. : '''Esteban:''' She was smarter and much better-looking. And I see you're still building your crazy contraptions. What brings you back to town? : '''Caesar:''' To visit Abuela. It's a surprise. : '''Esteban:''' You don't want to go there. It's not the same as you remember. : ''[Rex righs]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[runs to the research pod]'' Okay, bro, let's go! ''[Rex went up to the lab]'' : ''[Esteban chuckling]'' : '''Esteban:''' ''[looking at Rex]'' Is that little Cabeza de Trapo? : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' I haven't thought of that for years. ''[Caesar went up to the lab]'' : '''Rex:''' What? : '''Caesar:''' No es nada, mijo. We'd better get going. : '''Esteban:''' At least stay in town tonight. You can head up to abuela's in the morning. : '''Caesar:''' It's been over five years, Esteban. We're not waiting another minute. : ''[Door closes and Research pods departs]'' : '''Rex:''' If she's not really our grandmother, why are you calling her "abuela"? : '''Caesar:''' There may not be a biological connection, but she practically raised the entire town. When you were a boy, you spent every summer here. : ''[Rex stops and feels incomplete]'' : '''Rex:''' I wish I could remember her. Or any of this. : '''Caesar:''' I'm sure she'll be excited to see you. Just prepare yourself for a lot of sloppy grandma kisses. : ''[Caesar pats Rex's hair and keeps on moving]'' : ''[Rex knocks at the door, The door opens by Abuela]'' Abuela, it's me-- Caesar. : ''[The Salazar brothers show themselves while Caesar holds a Bouquet of flowers]'' : '''Abuela:''' Caesar! And is that my Cabeza de Trapo? : '''Rex:''' Why is everyone calling me that? : '''Abuela:''' What are you doing here? : '''Caesar:''' We've come to visit. May we come in? : '''Abuela:''' ''[Looks at the sky for a brief moment]'' No! ''[slams the door]'' : '''Rex:''' Maybe we should have called first. : ''[The Salazar brothers spend the night in the Research pod with Caesar sleeping at the floor and Rex sleeping on the table. Unintentionally the computer sets thte alarm causing Rex to wake up a bit.]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Ten more minutes, Six. [''covers his ears with his pillow]'' : ''[Caesar opens the door and looks down, Seeing Abuela holding breakfast]'' : '''Abuela:''' Who wants breakfast? : ''[Rex immediately wakes up]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Yo! : ''[Rex drops off the table]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Ouch! : ''[After a few minutes, Rex picks up his breakfast]'' : '''Caesar:''' Abuela always was the best cook. : '''Abuela:''' I have missed my niños. ''[Puts her hand on Rex's shoulder]'' Rex, I have been following your work with Providence, and I always knew you would be a big important scientist. : '''Rex:''' So, why did you slam the door on us last night? : '''Abuela:''' Oh, that. You just caught me off guard. We weren't expecting visitors. : '''Rex:''' I thought you always-- : '''Caesar:''' Enough with the questions, little brother. : '''Abuela:''' Let me look at you. : ''[Abuela grabs Rex's face]' : '''Rex:''' Mmph! : '''Abuela:''' I can't believe how you have grown. Come, see-- The rest of the family. : '''Rex:''' Does everyone in town live here? : ''[Caesar chuckles]'' : '''Caesar:''' I remember evenings here, laughing, telling stories. And the food! Rex, if you thought breakfast was good, wait and see what abuela makes for dinner. : '''Abuela:''' It is an old building. There are always repairs. : '''Federico:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Huh? : ''[Rex chuckles nervously]'' : '''Rex:''' Uh... What's up? : '''Federico:''' It's me-- Federico. Have you forgotten the secret shake? : '''Abuela:''' You and Federico were best friends when you were little. : '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo! : '''Rex:''' Why do you keep calling me that? : '''Caesar:''' You used to put underpants on your heads and act out Lucha Libre movies. : '''Rex:''' Glad I don't remember that. : '''Federico:''' Lucky you. : '''Esteban:''' Abuela, I must speak to you. : '''Abuela:''' Someone has forgotten his manners. : '''Esteban:''' You can't just keep avoiding me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. The village is concerned about the recent activity. : '''Abuela:''' Well, it shouldn't be. What goes on here is our own business. : '''Esteban:''' Not when it leaves these walls. The situation is getting worse. : '''Abuela:''' We've made the necessary corrections. It won't happen again. : '''Esteban:''' You got one last chance to get out of town. Or I will evict you myself. : '''Abuela:''' An old squabble. You don't need to worry. : '''Caesar:''' What aren't you telling us, abuela? : '''Abuela:''' Time to start making dinner. : '''Rex:''' Dinner? We just had breakfast. : ''[Caesar chuckles]'' : '''Caesar:''' Trust me. ''[Stands up with his glass]'' To family! : '''Rex:''' Is it like this every night? : '''Federico:''' Pretty much. : ''[Rex chuckling]'' : ''[The kid kicks the ball high, Frederico stands up and catch the ball and dribbled. Rex was impress.]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey. You're pretty good. Everything about going pro? : ''[Frederico drops the ball, awkward silence]'' : '''Federico:''' Not anymore. : ''[Rex picks up the ball, kicks it. The ball lands on the table splashing the food all around, everyones laughting. The bell rings and everyone starts going away.]'' : '''Rex:''' Okay, maybe not my best move, but it wasn't that bad. : '''Abuela:''' Come, children! : ''[Caesar and Rex follows Abuela to their room]'' You'll sleep here. : ''[Rex notices Frederico]'' : '''Federico:''' See you in the morning. : ''[Frederico darkly walks into he's room. Rex enters in his. In the room Caesar's unpacking, Rex looks around. Suddently Abuela locks the door.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Did she just lock us in? :''[Rex tries to open the door, fails]'' She just locked us in! : '''Caesar:''' We need to respect our elders. I'm sure she had her reasons. ''[Rex walks to window, Caesar's trying the new bed.]'' Ooh! Bed's pretty comfy. Good night! : '''Rex:''' But-- but... It's only 6:30! : ''[Night, suddently a roar is heard. Rex and Caesar wakes up.]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Sure, that's not weird, either! : ''[Mayor's office, the phone start's ringing.Esteban picks up.]'' : '''Esteban:''' Bueno. I'm glad you cloud return my call. I understand you can help me with my EVO problem. : ''[Salazar's room. Rex and Ceasar already dressed.]'' : '''Rex:''' Frederico? That's his room behind here! : ''[Caesar grunts]'' : ''[Caesar pull's the door, they are still locked.]'' : '''Caesar:''' ''[to Rex]'' Can you break it down? : '''Rex:''' How about respecting our elders? : '''Caesar:''' Technically, I am your elder. Brake it down! : '''Rex:''' I'll do one better! Hunh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Forms Smack hands and punches trought the wall, making a hole that reveals Frederico's room.]'' : '''Rex:''' This place is just full of surprises. Okay, fur face, if you ate my friend-- : '''Caesar:''' Rex! Wait! : '''Abuela:''' There has been a breach! Where is Rex? : '''Caesar:''' I suspect halfway down the hill by now. Abuela-- : '''Abuela:''' I know. : '''Rex:''' Whoa-- Unh! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' AAAAH! Whoa! Unh! UAAAAGH! This is for Federico! : '''Abuela:''' Rex! No! That is Federico! : '''Federico:''' Are those your hands? Genial. I got out again, didn't I? : '''Rex:''' So, you're like a were-EVO? : '''Caesar:''' Lux Lucius Mutatio. Interesting. : '''Abuela:''' Come-- We've got to get back to the house. : '''Esteban:''' I told you this would happen! You can't control them anymore! : '''Rex:''' It wasn't her. It was me. I let them out. I didn't know. : '''Esteban:''' All these EVOs! : '''Abuela:''' They're just boys. : '''Esteban:''' Look at the destruction your boys caused! The people are tired of living in fear! You'll be leaving today! : '''Rex:''' I'm sorry, abuela. I had no idea. And now you have to leave because of me. : '''Abuela:''' I'm not going anywhere! : '''Federico:''' We turn at sundown and then back at sunrise. It only happens to some of us. : '''Caesar:''' I took samples from all of the affected family members. Everyone shares the same genetic code-- something similar to hypotrichosis. : '''Rex:''' Hyper, huh? : '''Caesar:''' Werewolf syndrome. The nanites triggered the dormant gene. : '''Federico:''' Can you cure it? : '''Rex:''' I can try. Strange. I don't feel anything. Do you? : '''Federico:''' Thanks anyway. : '''Caesar:''' I'm seeing no active nanite tracers whatsoever. : '''Rex:''' Well, maybe it's because he's not an EVO form. : '''Federico:''' I just want a normal life again. I don't want to have to leave my home. : '''Caesar:''' Maybe there's a way you can have both. : '''Rex:''' Sorry about the wall. Why didn't you tell us? : '''Abuela:''' Because I didn't want Providence to know. : '''Rex:''' But Providence can help. : '''Abuela:''' By taking those afflicted away? No. Every night when the bell pulls, those that have the change are locked away safely. For years it has been this way and no one has been hurt. : '''Rex:''' But-- You're prisoners in your own home. : '''Abuela:''' You may see it that way, niño. But at least we are a family. : '''Federico:''' You know-- Even though we got busted today, it was kind of fun to get out. : '''Rex:''' Don't you ever feel cooped up in here? : '''Federico:''' There is one thing I missed. Go-o-o-o-al! : '''Rex:''' Why did you stop playing if you love it so much? : '''Federico:''' One day during practice, I stayed late so some scouts could see me play. Sun went down, and, well... They made me quit the league after that. Still haven't replaced the go box. : ''[Federico chuckles]'' : '''Federico:''' Is that Providence? : '''Rex:''' I don't know who it is. : '''Federico:''' We should probably get back. It's almost evening bell. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Rex. : '''Federico:''' That guy just shot my ball! : '''Rex:''' Oh, this is just perfect. Hunter Cane he has a thing for hunting down EVOs I already put him away once. : '''Federico:''' So, what's he doing here? : '''Rex:''' Guessing your mayor called him. : '''Federico:''' No, I mean did, he break out or something? : '''Rex:''' Don't know. Don't care. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Why am I not surprised? This one of them? : '''Rex:''' Bringing this guy here was a bad move. : '''Hunter Cain:''' For them? And I get to settle an old score while I'm at it. Lucky me. : '''Rex:''' No-- Lucky me! : '''Federico:''' Rex, we've gotta go. : '''Rex:''' You don't have to worry. This guy has nothing to sweat. : '''Federico:''' Now! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what do we have here? : ''[Hunter Cain grunts]'' : '''Hunter Cain:''' Esteban, my friend, I may not even charge you for this one. : '''Rex:''' The mayor wasn't kidding. He sent an EVO hunter who likes to shoot first and skip the questions. We'll need every man, woman, and werewolf. : '''Esteban:''' You were warned, abuela. You can live peacefully or we will bring you out. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I didn't come here for conversation. : '''Esteban:''' But you said it would just be a show of force. We run them out of town. No one gets hurt. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I don't negotiate with EVOs or their families. If you don't like what you're about to see, you can head on down the hill. : '''Rex:''' Why don't you join them, hunter? : '''Hunter Cain:''' I never back down from a fight. : '''Rex:''' Neither do I. You bring your magic EVO bullets, or is this going to be a real fight? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Lucky for you, these are the old-fashioned kind. But they hurt just as bad. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, that is kind of annoying. : '''Caesar:''' Just hours ago, there wasn't any nanite activity. But now, it's like night and day. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' That was my little pun. It seems the samples are reacting differently in the absence of sunlight. If I can only work out the photoreactive elements-- : '''Rex:''' I don't even think a cure will stop Hunter Cain. He'll never listen to reason. : '''Caesar:''' I still gotta try. I think I can affect the change in the nanite programming during your nocturnal cycle. If I'm gonna cure this, I have to do it before sunrise. : '''Rex:''' Not a Hunter gets to them first. I can keep doing this till you run out of ammo. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Fire on target! : '''Rex:''' AAAAAAAH! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Note to self-- Don't give him any ideas. You have to let them out! : '''Abuela:''' I made a promise to keep them safe from harm! : '''Rex:''' Where they can't defend themselves? That's exactly what won't happen! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Grandma, step aside. : '''Abuela:''' I stand with my family. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Have it your way. I'll take all of you down. : '''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family. : '''Rex:''' Can't believe we're not related. So, what was your big jail break? Nail pile and a cake? Exploding smoke bomb? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Cold, hard cash. Not everyone at Providence is an EVO-lover. : '''Caesar:''' Huh? Yes! Rex, we can reprogram the nanites to disregard the photoreactive coding of their DNA with a frequency-tuned pulse! That should allow you to cure them! : '''Rex:''' Sounds great, but I've sort of got my hands full. Unh! : '''Caesar:''' You mess with my brother, you mess with me. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Who are you? You an EVO? : '''Caesar:''' No. I'm a scientist. : '''Hunter Cain:''' AAAAH! : '''Caesar:''' Your turn. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa-ho! Wait! I thought you said you had to zap their nanites. : '''Caesar:''' In a manner of speaking. First, I zap you. Then, you have your nanites through do the rest. : '''Rex:''' AAAH! : '''Caesar:''' Too strong. I'll make an adjustment. : '''Rex:''' Adjustment? How about you wait for me to say "okay" next time? You're still here? : '''Hunter Cain:''' When I said I was out of the disintegrator ammo, I lied. One left, and it has your name on it. : '''Rex:''' Federico, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but it might be time for the return of Las Cabezas de Trapo. : '''Caesar:''' I think I've got the settings figured out. : '''Rex:''' You think? AAAH! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Caesar:''' That's more like it. : '''Rex:''' ''[Woozily]'' Okay. Let's give it a try. I'm not trying to hurt you. : '''Abuela:''' Federico, mi corazoncito. Let him try. : '''Rex:''' Maybe we have to wait for a sunrise. We- We made it worse. Now we stuck that way! : '''Federico:''' It isn't him-- It's me. I can control it now! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Doesn't change a thing to me. He's still an EVO. I'm gonna finish the job I came here to do. I'll wipe out the whole compound if I have to. : '''Abuela:''' There is no place for your kind of hatred here! : '''Hunter Cain:''' You think I'm afraid of you? : '''Rex:''' I think you should be. : ''[Hunter Cain spits]'' : '''Rex:''' Hunter knows how to hold a grudge. He'll come back. : '''Federico:''' And we'll be waiting. : '''Rex:''' So, this mean you're gonna try out for the pros? : '''Abuela:''' I think it's time we all go out and live our lives. : '''Rex:''' La familia! : '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo! ===Hard Target=== : '''Rex:''' "It's Breach! She's-" : '''Circe:''' "Messing with you, Rex. Did you actually see on her the other side?" : '''Rex:''' "Well, no but...OK, why Hong Kong?" : '''Circe:''' "Because it's on the other side of the world, because she's seriously messed up." : '''Cricket:'''" Kind of like our place." : '''Circe:''' "Trust me. She's back in Abysus laughing it off with the rest of the Pack. Besides, I'm not that easy to find." : (''Removes the white towel to reveal her shoulder-length black hair partly dyed a deep plum and having donned a dark gray overall dress'') : '''Rex:''' "OK, Rex. Bad intro. Take a do-over. Like the new look." : '''Circe:''' "Wow. A compliment." <hr width80%> :'''Skywdd:''' "And that's when Circe goes all [[w:Siren (mythology)|siren]] and blasts the bus driver's pants clean off." :'''Circe:''' "Lucky shot. Hit the exact frequency of polyester." :'''Tuck:''' "Good thing his boxers were cotton." :'''Rex''' (''uncomfortable'')''':''' "Good one. Uh, Circe, remember when you took down that sea monster in Cabo Luna?" :'''Circe:''' "Please, Rex, I'd rather not remember that right now." :'''Skywdd:''' Geez, Rex. Buzzkill." <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' "Stop it." :'''Skywdd:''' "What's with him?" :'''Circe:''' "Breach lag. Let clean over his bedtime." :'''Rex:''' "That and my early morning snooze. By the way, you were right. Breach wasn't after you. She freed Quarry. Got this from the Providence security feed." :'''Skywdd:''' "Quarry?" :'''Tuck:''' "He's lose?" :'''Cricket:''' "Oh no." :'''Circe:''' "You saw Breach and came back ''here!'' What if she followed you!?" :'''Rex:''' "Don't worry. If Breach were here, I'd feel it. She's here." <hr width80%> : '''Breach:''' "Hey, girlfriend." : '''Circe:''' "Get out of here, Breach!" : '''Breach:''' "But Van Kleiss has so been wanting to chat." : '''Circe:''' "Then deliver a message for him! " : (''Uses her ultrasonic bursts on Breach, who creates a portal behind her, knocking her out with her own sonic abilities)'' : '''Rex:''' "Let her go, Breach!!" : '''Breach:''' "Oh, sorry, Rex. She's gonna save my skin. V.K.'s tough on failure, remember?" : (''Teleports away with an unconscious Circe on her shoulder'') : '''Rex:''' "NO!!" <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' "Hold that thought. You can come out now. I got that creeped out feeling." :'''Breach:''' "Peek a boo." : '''Skwydd:''' "It's her!'' She took Circe." : '''Rex:''' But not to Van Kleiss. You never went to Abysus, did you? You slipped her into your little pocket dimension. Let her go, Breach! : '''Breach:''' And I agree to that...why? : '''Rex:''' "Because you wouldn't want Van Kleiss to see this. I'm thinking a trade is in order." : (''Breach releases Circe, who is caught by Skwydd'') : '''Circe:''' "I hate you, Breach." ===A Family Holiday=== :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The pace of study has been staggeringly slow. There have been no significant advancements in nanite research since the original event. Simply put, Providence is not doing enough. What is required is not a military response, but a serious, thoughtful reaction, a scientific answer. The poor and afflicted deserve more. The world, deserves more. Let me introduce Diane. Mother of three. Diane has been diagnosed as incurable, a lost cause. Since then, she's been treated like an animal, locked away from her family... No hope on the horizon. Until now. At Moses Labs, we don't rely on tanks, guns, or secret weapons-- Only an unwavering belief that whatever science breaks, science can fix. Welcome back, Diane. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Happy birthday, little sister. :'''Rex:''' Hope that I paid the bills. This is going to be expensive. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Caesar:''' Release the hounds. :''[a door opens revealing some Evo hounds]'' :'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Heh! I thought that was just a figure of speech. You're a sick puppy. :'''Rex:''' Aah! Not cool, bro! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Rex:''' ''[Spanish accent]'' Agua, por favor. :'''Caesar:''' Water second, probes first. :'''Rex:''' No offense, but being a guinea pig is a lot less fun when it's you instead of Holiday. :'''Caesar:''' Don't I run the biometric tests with the same efficiency? :'''Rex:''' How are we related? Have you looked at Holiday? :'''Bobo Haha:''' She ain't my species and even I know she's a hottie. :'''Caesar:''' She is... very smart. :'''Rex:''' Where is the Doc anyway? She usually can't wait to get her hands on me. :'''Bobo Haha:''' Saw her this morning, looking pretty grim. :'''Agent Six:''' It's her sister. Her sister's birthday to be precise. Holiday gets introspective this time of year. :'''Caesar:''' Her sister? Oh, is she smart too? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hey guys. Can't talk. Hangar! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Ah, human dames. I don't know how you guys keep up. :''[Dr. Holiday pants]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thank you for coming, Dr. Moses. It's a genuine honor. :'''Rex:''' Who the heck is that guy? Why is Holiday acting all fangirl around him? :'''Caesar:''' It's Dr. Brandon Moses, the leading researcher in technogenic transmorphing! If anyone's going to develop a kill for EVOs, it's going to be him! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Now, that's actin' fan-girl. :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Not the worst I've seen. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you help her? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Beverly would be an excellent candidate for my treatments. Have her transported to my facility. :'''Rex:''' Hold up! I know you have a bunch of letters after your name, but curing EVOs is what I do. Some of them-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Some you just can't handle, Rex. Dr. Moses' research goes to places you don't, so if you don't mind-- 10 minutes, then we'll be in the air. Thank you, doctor. I've earned 5 years' worth of personal time, Knight. I plan to use it all. :'''White Knight:''' I don't like it, but I like your sister even less. Go for your "cure", Holiday. But if it doesn't work, don't bring her back. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Agent Six:''' What do you really know about Dr. Moses? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what I saw. :'''Agent Six:''' You're not taking her to the doctor for a checkup. Has he handed you supporting data? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why won't you let me have this? It's the first glimmer of hope I've had since Rex got here. :'''Agent Six''': I think you've lost your objectivity. If you can't help her-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's the point! I can't! I need this cure. If you won't help me, stay out of my way! :'''Rex:''' Any chance she's right? :'''Agent Six:''' Hope she is. :'''Rex:''' But we're not going to sit around and do nothing in case she's wrong, right? Today you're my sidekick-- Not a fashion-challenged soccer mom blocking my mojo. If there's any chance of playing hero for Holiday, I call dibs. :'''Security guard:''' Dr. Moses' inventions are not for public viewing-- Especially not by Providence. :''[Security guard grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' That "soccer mom" comment really got to you, huh? When did science geeks start packing heat? Huh? :'''Agent Six:''' Check the machine. :'''Rex:''' I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, all this thing does is light up and go "ping". They never cured it! This was a scam! :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday's in trouble. Holiday, Moses is a fraud. There is no cure! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' What's going on here? Moses, what is this? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Business, Dr. Holiday-- Big business. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping aside so I can collect your sister-- :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday?! What's happening?! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Or don't step aside. I'm good either way. :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! We've got our coordinates. Go! :'''Rex:''' It's a hundred miles away! :'''Agent Six:''' Correct. :'''Rex:''' Hold on to your swords, old man! :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]:'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I trusted you! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' A bad trait, a scientist. But look on the bright side-- You won't be locked in a cell anymore. That was just... Shameful. :'''Rex:''' Be the hero. Be the hero. Be the-- :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' ...Zero. You'll be a lot less grouchy in a few seconds, pal. Half cured? That's new. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They've got Beverly. :'''Rex:''' You wanna talk to her? :'''Agent Six:''' Now's not the time. :'''Rex:''' And when exactly is. She needs a friend, Six. :'''Agent Six:''' I... prefer to keep it professional. Keeps people from getting hurt. :'''Rex:''' Dude. Take off the sunglasses. She's already hurting. If I were you-- :''[Six gets a radio signal]'' :'''Agent Six:''' If you were me, you'd have a lead. Get Holiday. Dust off in 3. :'''Rex:''' Where are we going? :'''Agent Six:''' Moses may be a genius but not because he can cure EVOs. He overpowers them-- Hypercharges the nanites with excess energy to push their transformations. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's why Rex only partially cured that EVO he stripped the EVO of its extra power. But at its core, it was still incurable. :'''Rex:''' We learned something new today. Great. :'''Agent Six:''' Gets worse. Moses has turned his tech into a cottage industry. He takes incurables and weaponizes them to sell to the highest bidder. :'''Rex:''' Don't sugarcoat it, Six. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you find this out? :'''Agent Six:''' I called some former associates-- People who know things, things that good people shouldn't know about. :'''White Knight:''' Question-- Why is my keep on an unapproved mission? :'''Rex:''' It's cool, Knight. We're helping Holiday. :'''White Knight:''' No! We had a deal! Return to base immediately! :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's over guys. I can't drag you down because of my mistake. I won't. :'''Agent Six:''' Keep returning to base. :''[Knight ends the transmission]'' :'''Agent Six:''' I said the keep is returning to base. I didn't say we'd be on the keep. :'''Rex:''' You okay? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hanging in there. :'''Rex:''' Hanging in there is good. I don't like to see you unhappy, you know. I-I mean-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what you mean. Thanks. :'''Agent Six:''' Better luck next time. :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Jealous much, sidekick? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Who is that? :'''Rex:''' Someone who knows things good people shouldn't. :'''Five:''' Machine boy! Like the new ax? You owe me for the last one. :'''Agent Six:''' We'll talk music later, Five. You have word on Moses? :'''Five:''' Five don't lie. Your guy is running an auction-- Tonight. :'''Agent Six:''' I owe you. :'''Five:''' She's a lot more beautiful than you let on, Six. Try not to screw it up this time. :'''Agent Six:''' You coming? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The EVO is the military ordinance of the future. We all know it. You drop one of these babies into your neighbor's backyard, and it's game over. But to get the most annihilation out of your nanites... you need me. :'''Human EVO:''' You promised to cure! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' My technology not only amps up their abilities, but, for an extra charge, will modify their behavior to suit your needs. What am I bid for this army of one? :'''Agent Six:''' ''[Bursting in]'' I'll open with extradition for crimes against humanity! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to his bidders]'' Wait! This is just a minor disturbance. :''[Moses groans]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to Holiday]'' Do you know what you just cost me, all for one hopless wreck?! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday hits Moses]'' Her name is Beverly. :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Then give sissy a hug. :'''Dr Holiday:''' No! Don't hurt her, Rex! :'''Rex:''' Yeah, sure. Handle with care. Whoa! Can you tell her that, too? :'''Agent Six:''' Going nowhere? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Uh, let's not be ''[chuckling]'' rash. :''[Holiday slaps Moses]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I'm gonna have to get you a dictionary. Rash will not help anyone, especially not Beverly. :''[Holiday grabs Moses]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Who can still be cured. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday drops Moses]'' What? :'''Agent Six:''' ''[Brandishing his swords]'' No games. Truth or dead. :'''Rex:''' Fight still going! Need assistance! Big time! Whoa! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I did invent a machine that de-powered nanites, almost. But the bonds and nanite particles were too strong to break. Instead, I discovered that I could reverse the polarity to its maximum, overpowering the nanites. It's easier and-- Profitable. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' But you did isolate the bonds? So, you can break them! :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Unh! Okay, I called hero, but I need some extra kick for my sidekick! Unh! Seriously! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Time to earn a return on my investments! Kill them all! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! :'''White Knight:''' I won't even bother telling you the trouble you're in. Catch those other EVOs and report to my office the moment you're back. :'''Rex:''' What other EVO-O-O-O-Os? :''[Rex turns around and notices the EVOs behind him]'' :'''Rex:''' Ooos? :'''Rex:''' Think they got it? :'''Agent Six:''' They'd better. We're busy. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Okay. That's the flux transponder. That's the nanite energizer. Don't you explode on me-- Not now. Aah! :'''Rex:''' I'll hand the one crazed sister. You take the other. It'll be like a double date. Don't bother... your sister... while she's working! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I can see what he did, but... uh... there's no time! I can't-- I can't help her! It's over. :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday-- Rebecca-- You are the strongest, smartest woman I have ever met, and the most stubborn. :''[Six removes his glasses and looks her in the eyes]'' :'''Agent Six:''' You never give up. If there's a way to help your sister, find it-- now! :''[Slight pause. Holiday smiles and puts Six's glasses back on his face then leaves]'' :'''Agent Six:''' That's my girl. New plan. Corral her to the machine. :'''Rex:''' Plans are good! Yah! What you got, Doc? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Moses was right. The polarity of the nanite energizer is wrong! I have to amplify and reverse it. But I don't have-- Six... Your magna blades-- But it would be too dangerous. Six! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six! :'''Agent Six:''' Is it working? :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working. :'''Rex:''' Six, get out of there! :'''Agent Six:''' You called hero on this one, Rex! Finish it-- For her! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Get them out, Rex-- Both of them-- Now! :''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Doc! You gotta see this! :''[Dr. Holiday panting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as she's trying to revive Six]'' Don't you do this to me! I will hate you forever if you-- :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :''[Six coughs]'' :'''Beverly:''' Rebecca? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Beverly! :'''Rex:''' That was... I'm... Wow! Six, I've never said it before and I'll probably never say it again, but... I'm honored to be your partner. :'''Bobo Haha:''' Mushy stuff? Oh! Glad I missed it. :'''Rex:''' But don't ever do anything like that again. :'''Agent Six:''' Agreed. But you have to admit though... It was worth it. :''[Dr. Holiday and Beverly laughs]'' :'''White Knight:''' We're not running a boarding house here. No more relatives. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need her for a few more tests, sir. She was only 13 when she went Evo, and she's in a fragile state. :'''Beverly:''' Woo Hoo! :''[Beverly laughing]'' :'''Beverly:''' Rex just took me on a ride through the Zoo on his cycle. :'''White Knight:''' "Fragile." Right. :'''Rex:''' We're going to the mall. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you asking permission? :'''Rex:''' No. I'm asking if we can have some money. Providence pays me nada. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can I have a word with you? :'''Agent Six:''' Sure this is a good idea? Could ruin your hero status with Holiday. :'''Rex:''' It's funny. After meeting Bev, out of nowhere, it hit me that Doc Holiday is just a little too old for me. So, since I'm out of the way, I guess there's nothing stopping you anymore, huh, "hero"? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Well... right. I guess... I'll set up those tests. :''[Holiday starts to walk past Six. Six takes a hold of her hand]'' :'''Agent Six:''' Or... we could get some dinner. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Outside? In the real world? Like real people? Like a-- :'''Agent Six:''' Yes. Like a date. :''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's about time. ===Hong Kong Nights=== ===Whispers in the Dark=== ===Cutting It Close=== ===Exposed=== :'''White Knight''': All Providence personnel, this is a priority-one alert. :'''Agent Six''': Do not panic. Remember your training. :'''White Knight''': In all my years of working at Providence, never have I been put in such a situation. These interlopes could be anywhere at any given moment. :'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, what's all the-- Whoa! Sorry. We're late. :'''Bobo Haha''': You can't prove a thing! :'''White Knight''': Watch what you say. Watch what you do. The very future of Providence may depend upon it. :'''Rex Salazar''': So, what's going on? Van Kleiss attack in the HQ again? :'''Agent Six''': Worse. :'''Diane Farrah:''' I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. And to find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long. :'''Rex Salazar''': Aah. :'''Diane Farrah''': All your questions are about to be answered. Welcome to Providence Exposed! ''[Camera closes-up on her face]'' On Ultimate Exposure! And cut. Great into, guys. Okay, moving on. :'''Rex Salazar''': This is cool. :'''Agent Six''': This is wrong. :'''Rex Salazar''': How's my hair? :'''Bobo Haha''': Delicious. :'''White Knight''': Ladies and gentlemen, the delightful Miss Farrah and her crew have used the Freedom of Information Act to force. :''[White Knight clears his throat]'' :'''White Knight''': To allow them access to a day in the life of Providence. And to ensure you are afforded the very best Providence has to offer, I'm assigning our top man as your personal guide. :''[Rex moves towards the news team]'' :'''White Knight''': Six, please show Miss Farrah whatever she wants to see. :'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. On behalf of Providence, I'd like to welcome you to our facility. :'''Diane Farrah''': Spare me the small talk. I'm here to ask the tough questions, and I expect truthful answers. :'''Agent Six''': Shoot. :'''Diane Farrah''': So.. is there a Mrs. Six? :''[Combs her hair]'' :'''Bobo Haha''': Smooth. :'''Rex Salazar''': Like you'd have done better. :'''Bobo Haha''': Are you kidding? They want exposed. I'm going to give that reporter a piece of my mind and a few other pieces while I'm at it. I got stories that'll make them run screaming for the hills. :''[Bobo Haha laughs]'' :'''Agent Six''': If you'll follow me, I'll be happy to show you one of our nanite research labs up close and personal. EVO control is our primary area of concentration, but Providence is focused on a great many studies. Each employing the best and the brightest our planet has to offer. :'''Rex Salazar''': Thanks, Six. You know, this is my brother's lab. He's only like the smartest guy in the entire world. Yeah, being the best at what we do totally runs in our family. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time. :'''Agent Six''': That experiment is highly sensitive. :'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, how did you become a Providence agent? :'''Agent Six''': That's also highly sensitive. :'''Rex Salazar''': Amazing story though about how I became a Providence agent. See, there was this big accident. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Good morning. My name is Dr. Rebecca Holiday, And I'm the chief research officer for the Providence Laboratory Facilities - specializing in the study of evology. Providence's number one priority is the security of our planet. And through the studying and understanding the forces that threaten us-- :'''Diane Farrah''': Let's cut to the chase, shall we, doctor? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, um, okay. :'''Diane Farrah''': How do you balance the threat of EVOs, the constant danger... with being a woman? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Uh. :''[Dr. Holiday laughs nervously]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, excuse me. :'''Rex Salazar''': Speaking of studying, check this out. You can edit that, right? :'''Diane Farrah''': We're all about the editing. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, maybe you could show these journalists some of your other duties, like what you're supposed to be doing right now, for instance. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, man. That's right. Come on. You're going to love this. :'''Diane Farrah''': EVOs come from far and wide for a chance to be cured by this young man. How often do you do this? :'''Rex Salazar''': At least once a week here at HQ. When I'm in other parts of the county or the world, Providence sets up a mobile cure station. There are a lot of people out there who need my help. I only wish I could get to them all. Wait. Um, let my try again. ''[after Rex can't cure an EVO]'' Shut it off. :'''Diane Farrah''': But this is really good drama, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I asked to be on TV. They didn't. Please give these people their privacy. :'''Bobo Haha''': Come on, buddy. Everybody has an off day. :'''Rex Salazar''': In front of millions of viewers? So much for everyone's favorite Providence man of mystery. :'''Bobo Haha''': Well, they're just lucky they haven't had the camera on me yet. Oh man, talk about Ultimate Exposure. When I get through with them-- :'''Rex Salazar''': I just wish I could look cool on camera somehow. :'''Bobo Haha''': Phbt! Good luck. The only way that's going to happen now is if some experimental EVOs busted out of their cages and went on a rampage so you could round them up and look like a hero. :'''Diane Farrah''': Providence isn't known for being forthcoming with information. I hope this interview will change that. The people want answers and I fully expect them from you. :'''White Knight''': Very well. What do you want to know? :'''Diane Farrah''': For starters, how do you get fresh milk without any nanites in it? :'''White Knight''': If you must know, it's passed through a powerful magnet that removes and neutralizes any nanite activity. :'''Agent Six''': Observe. :''[White Knight smacks lips]'' :'''White Knight''': Anything else? :'''Diane Farrah''': Not at the moment, but I'll be back. :'''White Knight''': I look forward to it. :''[White Knight sips]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, what do you think about White Knight's obsession with staying nanite-free at the expense of human contact? :'''Agent Six''': He's a man of many mysteries. :'''Rex Salazar''': Look out! Coming through! Dangerous escaped EVOs on the loose! Stand back! Let a professional handle this! :'''Diane Farrah''': Follow him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Yeah, I'm kind of awesome. :'''Bobo Haha''': Did you get them all? :'''Rex Salazar''': How many did you release? :'''Bobo Haha''': I don't know, three or four. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, which was it? Three or four? :''[Rex Salazar gasps]'' :'''Agent Six''': Well then. Now that Rex's little demonstration is over, how about a visit to the Providence gift shop? On me. :'''Diane Farrah''': How long has Providence had a gift shop? :'''Agent Six''': Since 8:00 A.M. You want to tell me how a class by EVO got out of its electromagnetically-sealed container and just happened to cross paths with our tour? :'''Rex Salazar''': It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen here all the time. I just wanted it to happen this time, in front of the camera, all right? :'''Agent Six''': Not all right. That last EVO-- You just helped it molt so it could grow. Its body is still out there somewhere, getting bigger. :'''White Knight''': Providence is run like a finely tuned machine. Until you decide to throw a monkey wrench into the works. :'''Bobo Haha''': Hey, pal, let's leave the comedy to me. :'''White Knight''': And how is it exactly that these EVOs got out? :'''Bobo Haha''': Okay, Mea Culpa. I may have accidentally knocked open a cage or two-- Or four. :'''Dr. Holiday''': That fourth cage was electromagnetically sealed. :'''Bobo Haha''': I didn't say it was easy. :'''Dr. Holiday''': The EVO we had contained in there feeds on electricity. It must be kept away from any electrical current. :'''Rex Salazar''': Then it sure is a good thing this whole place isn't full of electricity. Oh, wait. :'''White Knight''': Find it. Subdue it. And most importantly, don't let that camera crew see it. :'''Bobo Haha''': Eh, were wastin' time hunting this thing down when I could be on camera right now, giving those people a piece of my mind. :'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, I only saw the EVOs empty husk before. What's the real thing look like anyway? Huh? :'''Bobo Haha''': That. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :''[Rex Salazar grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Any suggestions? :'''Bobo Haha''': Can you make a soccer net? :''[Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Aha! Got you cornered now. There's no way out. You're overpowered. :'''Bobo Haha''': You were saying? :'''Agent Six''': You wanted to interview me. Now's your chance. Go. :'''Diane Farrah''': Um... okay. Tell me, Six-- May I call you Six?-- What is the real truth behind the nanite event that created the EVOs? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified. :'''Diane Farrah''': What is your role, if any, in that event? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified, too. :'''Diane Farrah''': Are you always this talkative? :'''Agent Six''': No comment. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Wait. Let me do that again. You didn't get my good side. Which is my good side? :'''Bobo Haha''': Your backside. :'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, you promised you were taking us to the heart of the operation. :'''Agent Six''': Right. The heart of the operation. This way. :'''Dr. Holiday''': [Watching from a monitor] It went right. :''[Rex goes to his right. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Camera right! :''[Rex goes to the camera's right]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': How can you miss it now? It's six feet in diameter and weighs five hundred pounds! :'''Rex Salazar''': Less criticizing, more helping! :'''Dr. Holiday''': Try to steer it in the direction of Hallway twelve. We can isolate it in the atrium. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, we've got it contained there now. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': No, sorry. I was reading that backwards. Hallway twenty one. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, Hallway twenty one leads to the central core! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, so, no big deal. That's a cold-fission reactor, not electric, right? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, all electricity is converted from something-- Wind, solar, hydro-- At the central core! :'''Rex Salazar''': Ohh. :''[Providence Agent screams]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh-hoh. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, listen carefully and do exactly as I say because we're only going to get one shot at this. :'''Diane Farrah''': One shot at what, doctor? :'''Dr. Holiday''': The... future. Providence is the future. The future used to be the space program. Now the future is Providence and the science of EVOs. :'''Rex Salazar''': Doc? Are you still there? We have a situation. :'''Agent Six''': Just a minor downgrade of power during a routine relay check. Nothing to worry about. :'''Rex Salazar''': Guys, I could really use some advice right about now! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''White Knight''': Attention all Providence Personnel, we have a Level-One Priority... :''[Realizes the reporters are present]'' :'''White Knight''': Drill. Repeat-- This is our daily drill in the Central Core-- Now. :'''Agent Six''': Lunch bell. It's taco day. Anyone hungry? :'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, while we appreciate the commemorative spoons and the tacos, I can't help but think that you've been hiding something from our viewers. :'''Agent Six''': Not at all, ma'am. Providence is an open book. :''[Rex Salazar screams]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': Cut! You're ruining the shot, Rex. Just be patient. I will get to you-- I promise. :''[Rex Salazar groans]'' :'''Agent Six''': Get down. :''[Diane Farrah gasps]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': That was... what you did. :'''Agent Six''': Just doing my job, ma'am. :'''Rex Salazar''': And I'm just doing mine! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': You're not going anywhere now, buddy, except back to your-- Cage? :'''White Knight''': We hope that you and the Ultimate Exposure team are enjoying our EVO containment demonstration, Miss Farrah. All part of readiness training here at Providence. :'''Diane Farrah''': Can I quote you on that? :'''White Knight''': Miss Farah, I'm not gonna stop you from filming, but for your own safety and the safety of your crew, please step back and let my people do what they do best. Alpha Team, I need a containment of the cafeteria, cube formation. Fire! Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm on it. :'''Agent Six''': Stay here. This is the real deal. :'''Diane Farrah''': Not on your life. Find an elevator. We're missing it. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Still not a good ti-i-i-i-i-me! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, big boy. No more crawl spaces. No more Hallways. Just you and me in a big, old hangar bay mano y mano. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Huh? :'''Bobo Haha''': ''[after Rex has been repeatedly beaten back by the Evo]'' Looks like you showed him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Are you going to talk, or are you going to help? :'''Bobo Haha''': Talk. Kidding! I'm helping! I'm helping! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :''[Rex Salazar sighs]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': Please tell me you're getting all of this. :'''Rex Salazar''': Providence's man of mystery strikes again. Ow! It-- it bit me! :'''Diane Farrah''': Quick, grab some B-roll footage before they get rid of all the evidence. :'''Rex Salazar''': You did see that I did all the heavy lifting and Six just took out the trash, right? :'''Diane Farah''': Don't worry. The camera never lies. :'''Rex Salazar''': Yes! :'''Bobo Haha''': Good! Then get a load of this! :'''Diane Farah''': Do you have something to say? :''[Camera zooms in on Bobo]'' :'''Bobo Haha''': Oh... oh. :''[Bobo mutters then passes out]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': I think we have everything we need. :'''Rex Salazar''': I don't know how you guys came off looking, but yours truly rocked hard. Just call me Providence's Man of Mystery from now on. Oh, yeah! Stardom starts in five, four, three, two-- :'''Diane Farrah''': I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. :'''Rex Salazar''': We are so dead. :'''Bobo Haha''': Nice knowing you, kid. :'''Diane Farrah''': To find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long. :'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. :'''Rex Salazar''': They did it. :'''Bobo Haha''': They did. :'''Dr. Holiday''': This is a news show? What is the world coming to? :'''Diane Farrah''': Look out, ladies. Agent Six is the full package -- brains, brawn, and-- :'''Agent Six''': Highly sensitive. :'''Diane Farrah''': Just what is he hiding behind those alluring, dark glasses of his? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified. :'''Diane Farrah''': He's the Providence agent you women wanted to get to know. :'''Agent Six''': Up close and personal. :'''Diane Farrah''': That's right, girls. :'''Agent Six''': He's The real deal. :'''Diane Farrah''': And he's known throughout Providence as-- :'''Agent Six''': The heart of the operation. :'''Diane Farrah''': He's the organization's best-kept secret, the ultimate agent, and-- :'''Agent Six''': The man of many mysteries. :'''Diane Farrah''': And, yes, ladies, he is single -- or is he? :''[Dr. Holiday laughs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Excuse me. :'''Agent Six''': No comment. :''[Rex and Bobo Haha laughs]'' :'''White Knight''': Well, that's a relief. :'''Rex Salazar''': ''[after the story airs]'' So, man of mystery, what's it like being a big star adored by women everywhere? :'''Agent Six''': No comment. ===Touch and Go=== ===The Siren's Lament=== * Flashbacks as to how Circe came to work for Van Kleiss. <hr width80%> ===Grounded=== ===Six Minus Six=== ===In Dreams=== ===Lions and Lambs=== <hr width80%> :''[Providence agents are standing in an industrial area, fingers on triggers. Rex flies in on jet pack and lands beside all the agents.]'' :'''Rex:''' Any sign? ''[Rex notices agents shaking in fear.]'' Alright then, who’s up for a burger, anyone? Tough crowd. :''[Six walks up.]'' :'''Six:''' These agents seem nervous. Haven’t they dealt with this situation before? :'''Rex:''' Yeah, that's kind of the problem. :''[Rex twitches, as if he is feeling Breach's presence.]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' Here she comes. :''[Breach appears in front of them. They fire at her. She sends their missiles and agents away with red portals.]'' :'''Six:''' How do we stop her? :'''Rex:''' ''[Smack Hands.]'' Hit hard and keep clear of anything that glows. :''[Breach has a collar around her neck like the one Van Kleiss wears, and a device on her chest like his only much larger and shackles are around her giant hands which look like Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical wrist. She opens a red portal. A giant jellyfish-like thing flies out at Six, then a large creature with a horn on its nose runs out. Rex jumps at Breach, she portals out, returns and the device on her chest starts sparking.]'' :'''Rex:''' What's with the new toy, Breach? :'''Breach:''' ''[Glares]'' Wouldn’t you like to know? :''[T-Rex appears through a gold colored portal, sniffs Rex.]'' :'''Rex:''' Seriously, where do you find these things? Let's see what you started out as, big guy. ''[Tries to cure.] Six? This... this isn't an EVO!'' It's an actual T-Rex! ...Six? :''[Rex runs from T-Rex.]'' :'''Breach:''' Have fun. ''[Leaves through red portal.]'' :''[Rex hides behind light pole, T-Rex pulls pole from ground, Rex falls to the ground.]'' :'''Six:''' I take it this sort of thing doesn't happen all the time? :'''Rex:''' Try never? This is all kinds of wrong. :''[Rex makes BFS, runs at T-Rex; Six runs at T-Rex, jumps on and stabs it in back.]'' :'''Holiday:''' Is that what I think it is? :'''Six:''' You mean about to be extinct? :'''Holiday:''' If you destroy the scientific find of a lifetime, it won’t be the only thing. :'''Rex:''' It's trying to eat us. :'''Six:''' You heard the lady. Take it down soft. :'''Rex:''' Easy for you to say. :''[Rex lies on the ground holding the jaws open with Smack Hands and it slobbers on him.]'' :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Video of T-Rex in confinement field. The T-Rex turns to dust.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Breach is powerful enough as it is, and now you're telling me she can travel through time? :'''Holiday:''' However she's doing it, I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. That dinosaur reverted to its actual age about less than two hours after arrival. :'''Caesar:''' Photo and deep scan analysis reveals some very interesting technology at work here. Van Kleiss has really stepped up his game. :'''White Knight:''' Skip the fan talk. How do we stop it? :'''Caesar:''' Until I get my hands on the device, I'm not certain we can. :'''White Knight:''' We have to bring her to our side. :'''Rex:''' The only way she's coming here is if she does it willingly. :'''White Knight:''' How do you propose we persuade her? :'''Rex:''' With me. ''[Six and Holiday stare at him skeptically.]'' I can be very convincing. Okay, okay. I think she might still have a thing for me. :'''Bobo:''' Atta boy, work it on the crazy chick. :'''White Knight:''' I don't care how we do it as long as we get results. Providence is under the microscope. It is the worst time for Van Kleiss to gain the upper hand. Get to it. Bring her in. :''[Six and Holiday walking out of the room together down the hall.]'' :'''Six:''' ''[To Holiday.]'' I need a word. Something's wrong with White. :'''Holiday:''' Oh. That. He’s always like this, Six. :'''Six:''' No. This is different. I know when something is bothering him. The secret meetings, the anxiety. He’s up to something. :'''Holiday:''' I'll see what I can find out. :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Rex on hoverboard, in Providence stealth suit.]'' :'''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Works pretty good. After all, I built it. ''[Loses control of board for a moment.]'' :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Van Kleiss's castle, Rex hiding by entrance.]'' :'''Rex:''' Going in.

Is he even noticing how you're tearing yourself apart for him? Have you ever heard him say thank you? What do you say we blow this joint, you and me? He's hurting you. :'''Breach:''' It's not real. It can't hurt you if it isn't real. :'''Rex:''' Breach, look at me. It is. I'm real, all of this is real. You don't have to live this way. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Why am I not surprised. Rex has come to rescue another of my lost sheep. Perhaps he'll try to save you next, Biowulf. :'''Rex:''' That depends. Is he housebroken yet? :'''Biowulf:''' I am no traitor. :'''Van Kleiss:''' You’ve no doubt seen our little experiment. Breach shows great promise. She just needs a little fine tuning. :'''Rex:''' Then what? Go back in time and be king of the cavemen? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Why not? It wouldn’t be much of a step down, now would it? Breach, if you would, remove our guest so we can continue. Practice makes perfect, or in your case, acceptable. :''[Breach makes a red portal.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach! Think about what you're doing. :''[Van Kleiss grins, she runs and puts her arms around Rex, portals out with Rex.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Find her. Now. :''[Mountains, snow, Rex shivering.]'' :'''Rex:''' I'm glad you got us out of there, but where... are we? :'''Breach:''' When the snow is gone you can see forever. :'''Rex:''' That's nice. Can we go now? :'''Breach:''' I need to know if I can trust you. :'''Rex:''' You can trust me. I swear. :''[Breach grabs his hand and hugs him. He opens his eyes. They are standing on a shiny endless reflective surface, reflecting stars.]'' :'''Rex:''' This is different. :'''Breach:''' Do you see it? :'''Rex:''' Um-- :'''Breach:''' This is where the stillness comes from. :'''Rex:''' You. Are weird. So what exactly does this mean? Are you coming with me or is this some kind of test? :'''Breach:''' I need you to see it. :'''Rex:''' Ah... A test. :'''Breach:''' Do you wanna understand? :'''Rex:''' Not exactly sure. ''[She glares, he waves his hands in front of him.]'' Yes, I mean yes. I mean-- :'''Breach:''' Follow me. ''[Walks through red portal.]'' :''[Another place. A door, a doll, a bear and a fire hydrant float in space.]'' :''[Rex hanging upside down, she is holding him by his ankle above a swirling pink vortex.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ahh! What happened? I thought we were getting along fine! :'''Breach:''' Why are you here? :'''Rex:''' Good question. Where exactly is here? Can we go somewhere else now, somewhere like, on Earth? :''[She drops him. He screams and lands on the floor between some stacks of books.]'' :'''Rex:''' You sure know how to pick'em. What kind of tripped out dimension is this? ''[Librarian walks by and shushes him.]'' Oh. College. :'''White Knight:''' ''[On communicator in Rex's right ear.]'' Rex, report. Where on earth have you been? :'''Rex:''' Apparently every place but. :'''White Knight:''' I need to know you can handle this otherwise we're going to try a different approach. :'''Rex:''' You need to chill out, White. I’m making progress. ''[Rex puts his hand to his left ear.]'' Dr. Holiday, are you there? :'''Holiday:''' Tracking shows you’re with Breach. Are you okay? :'''Rex:''' Fine? Creeped out but fine. I can't bring Breach back to Providence, White would just lock her up and that won't help. :'''Holiday:''' Where will you take her? :'''Rex:''' I'll think of something. Just keep White Knight off my case. :''[Breach appears behind him.]'' :'''Rex:''' Why don't you let me pick out where we go next? :''[Scene change.]'' :''[White Knight hands folded moving nervously.]'' :'''White Knight:''' He says he's making progress. :'''Black Knight:''' The committee is losing confidence. They want results, not excuses. :'''White Knight:''' Then that's exactly what they’ll get. :''[Scene change. Rex sits across from Breach in a booth at a bowling alley.]'' :'''Rex:''' Soooo, don't like bowling, huh? I figured with the extra arms you'd be a natural. :'''Breach:''' I'm not supposed to like you, but I do. :'''Rex:''' ''[smiles]'' We're teenagers. At least assuming you are. Doing what we are not supposed to is part of the job. French fry? :''[She takes it and then drops it.]'' :'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? From before you... changed? :'''Breach:''' I remember everything. And nothing. :'''Rex:''' Naturally. Why did I even bother to ask. Listen, Breach. I'm not going to pretend I understand you, ''[Puts his hand on her giant hand]'' but I can help. If you let me. :''[The machine starts to glow, they jump to their feet, other people look startled.]'' :'''Rex:''' Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. :'''Breach:''' I can't, I can't stop it. :'''Rex:''' Let me try. ''[He tries and it knocks him onto the floor sparking.]'' :'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss has control. They're coming. :''[Van Kleiss busts through the door with The Pack following. Raises bio-mechanical hand, palm of it glows, device on Breach's chest turns off.]'' :'''Rex:''' Okay, do your thing. Get us out of here. Anywhere. :''[she tries]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You can't take what doesn't belong to you. :'''Rex:''' I didn't take you for the jealous type. ''[Rex shoots bowling balls at Van Kleiss with his cannon, hits Biowulf and Skalamander in the face and Van Kleiss punches the balls aside with his bio-mechanical hand.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach, let's go! :''[Breach rides off with Rex on hoverboard, Van Kleiss and Pack follow on three flying fish EVO's with harnesses and big teeth. They dodge and crash Van Kleiss into a window, and land in a park.]'' :''[Breach and Rex stand together on a footbridge looking down into the water.]'' :'''Breach:''' ''[Walks to bridge and looks at her reflection, Rex follows.]'' Will they hurt me? :'''Rex:''' Providence? Not if I can help it. :'''Breach:''' They did before. Ms. Smarty Pants—she likes to hurt me. :'''Rex:''' I'll give you my word, if you come back to Providence, I promise no one will hurt you. :'''Breach:''' We can be together forever and ever. ''[She walks off bridge, ducks swimming in water.]'' :'''Rex:''' Uh... something like that. What am I getting myself into? We gotta move. I bet my brother has already figured out how to turn that thing of yours off. :''[The ducks fly off, they look and see a reflection in the pond of White Knight's ship.]'' :''[White Knight walks up followed by Providence fighter planes.]'' :'''Rex:''' Uh guys, what are you doing?! :'''White Knight:''' If you can't have something done right, do it yourself. :''[They shoot at Breach, she screams, Rex is horrified.]'' :'''Rex:''' No! No! No! ''[walks up bridge to White Knight]'' Do have any idea what you just did? :''[Breach's chest device turns on, she screams, Providence shoots at her.]'' :'''Rex:''' Is this what you wanted? Congratulations! ''[runs to Breach]'' Breach! Wait! :'''Breach:''' Liar! ''[Throws red portal at Rex, he dodges, second one hits him, he disappears. Providence keeps shooting, she throw portals, drops three soldiers in water.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Agent Six! :''[He jumps at her, she portals him away to behind Knight. Rex jumps from the water onto the bridge by Knight.]'' :'''Rex:''' You had no intention to bring her in, did you? :'''White Knight:''' I wanted to believe you, Rex, but this is too important. She can't be controlled. :'''Rex:''' Control... Her powers are back on. Van Kleiss. :''[Van Kleiss arrives on flying fish EVO.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Settle down, Breach. :''[Chest device turns off.]'' :'''Rex:''' Let me do this. I can get through to her. Come on. It couldn't get any worse than you've already made it :''[Knight and Six look at each other.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Form a perimeter around Breach. Van Kleiss isn't to touch her. :''[A rock wall rises from the ground blocking Rex as he runs towards Breach. The Pack jumps down from wall to attack Rex, Six intervenes. Agents surround Breach, she tries and fails to make red portal. Screams. Van Kleiss flies in on fish, knocks down agents with bio-mechanical whip arm, shoots needles from fingers and knocks more down, fish knocks the rest down. White Knight shoots at Van Kleiss.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' If you had any idea what I was trying to do you might even welcome it. :'''White Knight:''' Enlighten me. :''[Van Kleiss touches a tree and it turns into an EVO. EVO tree catches and holds White. Six and Biowulf fight, Rex and Skalamander fight.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Enlighten you? :''[Sticks his claws in White Knight, glowing White Knight screams.]'' All in good time, White Knight, assuming you have some left. :''[Six throws a magnablade through Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical arm and he lets go of White.]'' :'''Six:''' ''[to White Knight]'' Go. I mean it. ''[White Knight flies off.]'' :'''Six:''' The name's Six. :'''Van Kleiss:''' We've met. :'''Six:''' Don't remember. ''[They fight.]'' :''[Breach on merry-go-round, turning slowly looking at the sky. :'''Rex:''' You're just using her. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Of course I am. She knows it. Spare me the chivalry, Rex. Providence would do the same. :'''Rex:''' Either way you slice it, she loses! :'''Breach:''' ''[to herself]'' My two favorites. You both lie. Neither is real. :'''Rex:''' ''[goes to her]'' Breach, I'm sorry. I meant what I said. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Words mean nothing. :'''Rex:''' Then let this do the talking. ''[Turns on her machine, puts it into her power.]'' :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You just handed her a loaded gun. :'''Rex:''' And now it's her choice how to use it. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh if only I had the chance to get through to you, Rex, to teach you how the world really works. :''[Breach steps in front of Van Kleiss, raises her arms as if to send Rex away. Makes huge yellow portal above them.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Our very first time traveler. You should be honored. Now Breach, if you wouldn't mind. :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :''[Rex closes his eyes. Breach sends Van Kleiss away with yellow portal.]'' :'''Rex:''' That was... unexpected. :''[Rex tries to turn machine off but fails.]'' :'''Rex:''' It won't turn off. I'm sorry. I, I didn't know. :'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss made it like this so I wouldn't send him away. :'''Rex:''' That didn't work out so well did it? Six, get everyone out of here now! ''[A big yellow dome forms around the playground where Rex and Breach stand.]'' :'''Rex:''' So, what's going to happen? :''[Rex and Breach are about to be engulfed by Breach's out of control time portal]'' :'''Breach''': ''[she looks up]'' I don't know if any of this was real. But it was nice having a friend for a while. ''[Rex smiles, Breach hugs him as they dispensary in the golden time portal]'' :'''Rex:''' I didn't get blown up. ''[Sees a lizard.]'' Whoa! ''[Jumps away, startled.]'' Oh no, please don't let this be dino time. ''[Touches earpiece in left ear.]'' Rex to Providence, do you copy? :''[Takes earpiece out and looks at it.]'' Oh... Rex to Providence, you better be there. :'''Providence Agent:''' Uh... we copy, Rex. We have a lock on your coordinates and are sending a jump jet. :'''Rex:''' Is Six okay? Breach went supernova. :'''Providence Agent:''' Someone's on the way, just hold tight. Providence out. :''[Scene change, Rex lying on the ground.]'' :'''Rex:''' Took you long enough. :''[Turns over and sees Providence agents, pointing guns at him.]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' Rex is onboard. Heading back to HQ. :'''Rex:''' HQ? Ten minutes ago I was in the middle of an epic battle. You need to take me back! :'''Providence Agent:''' Um, that battle is over. :'''Rex:''' What happened? Is Six okay? Guys...what's going on? :''[They arrive at HQ.]'' :'''Caesar:''' Baby brother, you're okay! ''[Runs and hugs him.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach just sent me to nowheresville. Nothing to freak out over. :'''Caesar:''' ''[To Providence agent.]'' You didn't tell him? :'''Providence Agent:''' Our orders were just to bring him back. :'''Rex:''' Tell me what? Hey, when did you... have a beard? :'''Caesar:''' There's no easy way to tell you this, hermano. Breach didn't just send you to the middle of nowhere. You've been gone for six months. :'''Rex:''' Six months?! So this is-- :'''Caesar:''' Technically, the future. I should warn you, there've been a few changes. :'''Rex:''' You didn't give away my room, did you? :'''Caesar:''' As a matter of fact, they did. :'''Rex:''' What?! Caesar, tell me what's going on here. :'''Caesar:''' It would be better if I showed you. :'''Rex:''' White Knight taking visitors now? :'''Caesar:''' I'll wait out here. :''[Rex sees Providence agents dressed in black.]'' :'''Rex:''' Nice suits. :''[Goes into the office.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ah... Love what you've done with the place. White? :''[Person in chair turns around, it's a woman, not White Knight.]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Thank you, Rex. ''[She gets up and walks towards him.]'' It was a little bright for my taste. White Knight is no longer associated with this organization. :'''Rex:''' He quit? :'''Black Knight:''' He...attempted a hostile takeover and failed. Can I get you anything? Water? A snack? :'''Rex:''' I don't want a snack! Where's Six? Where's Holiday!? :'''Black Knight:''' This must upsetting to you. Change is never easy but from I understand, you've been in situations like this before. Everything's going to be fine. :'''Rex:''' Who are you?! :'''Black Knight:''' Someone very happy to have you back. Call me Black Knight. ==Season Three (2011-2013)== ===Back in Black=== : '''Rex''': Okay, I get what's going on here. : '''Black Knight''': I'm relieved to hear that, Rex. : '''Rex''': You can come out! I know you're there! : '''Black Knight''': Rex? : '''Rex''': We're friends, now, remember? Breach? : '''Black Knight''': Breach isn't here, Rex. The world's changed. As soon you accept th-- : '''Rex''': No, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you're not real. : '''Black Knight''': I assure you I'm very real-- As is all of this. : '''Rex''': ''[Chuckling]'' Oh, come on. It's been a fun time in the ol' Breachscape, but, you know, time to go home now. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': Seen this before. Usually ends with a black hole. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, you're disoriented. Let me-- : '''Rex''': Sorry, non-lady. No time. Got an exit to find! Shall we aprehend? : '''Black Knight''': It won't be necessary. : '''Caesar''': Rex! Have you lost it? : '''Rex''': Caesar! We're in a pocket dimension! It could collapse at any second! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Caesar''': That's crazy, Rex. This is not a pocket dimension. : '''Rex''': You're right! It's a whole alternate universe! And-- and-- and you're my Brother's evil twin! Out of the way! Six! Six! Doc! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Rex''': Dr. Holiday! Doc! : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex''': Wha-- Well, at least some things haven't changed. Whoa! Whoa! Okay, now I-- Bleh-- know I'm in an-- Aah!-- alternate universe. Unh! You can go ahead and -- Blech!-- Eat me now, please. : '''Black Knight''': Release. : '''Rex''': You were... saying something about changes? : '''Black Knight''': There have been a few. : '''Caesar''': You've got temporal lag, Rex. It's kind of like altitude sickness, only in time. Here-- This will balance your electrolytes. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex''': So this is really-- : '''Black Knight''': Really. Welcome to the future, Rex-- Or, rather, to the present. Without your healing abilities, Providence has embraced a new paradigm. We've moved beyond the outmoded era of "cure, contain, or kill." : '''Rex''': And into the era of "serious leash laws". : '''Caesar''': We used the petting zoo as our test bed. What do you think? : '''Rex''': I think it needs a new name, 'cause, you know, now it really is one. : '''Caesar''': We've developed new techniques for working with EVOs. It's all about understanding them better. : '''Rex''': So, you're some sort of "EVO whisperer"? : '''Caesar''': ''[laughs]'' It's a bit more complicated than that. You sure you're okay? ''[sighs]'' It's good to have you back, brother. : '''Black Knight''': Family ties. They transcend even time itself. : '''Rex''': Caesar's not my only family. : '''Black Knight''': I'll bring you up to speed on the others. When you went M.I.A., White Knight lost his biggest weapon in the war for EVO containment. : '''Rex''': Figures that I have to vanish for him to appreciate me. : '''Black Knight''': White became erratic-- some might say paranoid. Directorate lost faith in his ability to lead. : '''Rex''': Directorate? I never knew white even had a boss. : '''Black Knight''': There are, shall we say, layers. I was named as his replacement. : '''Rex''': Let me guess-- he didn't take it well. : '''Black Knight''': You could say that. : '''Providence Agent''': White Knight! Sir! Stand down! : '''White Knight''': I'd rather go down in flames than see Providence in the hands of the enemy. : '''Providence Agent''': He's got a bomb! Fall back! All units fall ba-- : '''Rex''': Whoa! That was-- : '''Black Knight''': Your room. : '''Rex''': Huh? Aww, man! But... Six... Holiday... where-- : '''Black Knight''': Where do you think? They're out looking for you. Agent Six and Holiday took indefinite leave. They've been off the grid ever since. I've attempted to contact them, but no response. : '''Rex''': Mind if... I give them a ring? Not that I don't trust you. : '''Black Knight''': ''[sarcasm]'' But you don't trust me. Natural, given the circumstances. Be my guest. ''[after Rex gets disconnected]'' It won't take long, to locate them. Meanwhile, there are many familiar faces who will be glad to hear you're back. Which reminds me... ''[tosses Rex a sack]'' This is everything we salvaged from your room. : '''Rex''': ''[opening the sack to find his ball]'' Huh. Talk about starting over. : '''Black Knight''': You could you know. There's still a place for you in the-- : '''Rex''': My room. I thought you said it was trashed. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, wait. : '''Rex''': What's the matter, Black? This where you're hiding all your evil secrets? : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex''': Um... Wow! : '''Black Knight''': This entire wing was destroyed in the blast. I had the space... repurposed. : '''Rex''': White wouldn't even splurge for private stalls. : '''Black Knight''': As you see, I treat my finest people to the very finest things. : '''Rex''': Sure. I'll take one of those, please. : '''Black Knight''': It's yours-- and anything else you'd like. : '''Rex''': As long as I do whatever you want-- That it? : '''Black Knight''': On the contrary-- you're a seasoned agent. I have a few boundaries, but otherwise, handle matters as you see fit. : '''Rex''': Say I refuse. : '''Black Knight''': Then I turn you over to mel. ''[chuckling]'' I'm kidding. You're free to leave whenever you like. But I hope you'll stay. Now, more than ever, Providence needs a Rex. So, how do you feel? Like I haven't used one of those in Six months-- Which I haven't. You mind? Bobo? : '''Bobo''': Rex! Heard you were back. So great to see you, buddy. Whoa. Just a sec, there, pal. Gotta love those certain towelettes. : ''[Bobo whistling]'' : '''Bobo''': What? Never seen a monkey wash his hands before? : '''Rex''': Not this one. : ''[Bobo munching]'' : '''Rex''': You wanna tell me what's gotten into you or what? : '''Bobo''': What are you talking abou-- Unh! Hey! : '''Rex''': Sorry. For a minute, I thought you were... : '''Bobo''': Robo Bobo? Wanna check for a tv in my butt? : '''Rex''': Pass. But come on. You've, I don't know, mellowed or something. : '''Bobo''': Guess I just don't have a big need to act out these days, what with you and everyone gone. Plus, the employee benefits are pretty sweet. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, we've got a little EVO problem. Providence could use your help. Ready to get back in the game? : '''Rex''': If it involves getting out of here, that would be a "yes." You coming? : '''Bobo''': I'll join ya on the next one. I got Tai Chi at 2:00. : '''Rex''': Missing an EVO smackdown? That doesn't sound like you. : '''Bobo''': Did I mention the instructor has a thing for back hair? : '''Rex:''' Ew. Okay. That sounds like you. What is it and where do I find it? : '''Providence Agent''': We've got an EVO in the subway tunnels, people trapped in one of the trains. The power's out down there, too. : '''Rex:''' Sounds like a street worm. Sure it's just one? Rex to H.Q. Okay, new chief, how do you want to do this? : '''Black Knight:''' You're the expert. : '''Rex:''' I am? Uh, I mean, of course I am. It's just that Six usually-- : '''Black Knight:''' You don't need help, Rex. Handle it as you see fit. Black, out. : '''Rex:''' What's this strange feeling that's come upon me? Could it be... : ''[Rex shudders]'' : '''Rex''': Responsibility?! Okay. Assemble your guys over there. Be ready for me. Should the guys grab flashlight. Or... better. Not a bad pre-show. Now for the main event. : '''Providence Agent:''' How did you know? : '''Rex:''' These things usually travel in pairs. I used lights from my builds to make it think I was another worm. Have your bug net handy. They're so cute after I shut them down. : '''Rex:''' Sorry B.K. No can cure. : '''Black Knight:''' Understood. Our team will take it from here. : '''Rex:''' Um, take what where? : '''Providence Agent:''' Move into the vehicle! Move... into... the vehicle! Hit her again! : '''Rex:''' Um, what just happend? : '''Black Knight:''' That's all for now, Rex. Nicely done. : '''Rex:''' Hm. Wait. What are you gonna do with it? : '''Providence Agent:''' Standard rehab and re-lo. It's all very humane. : '''Rex:''' I'd love to see that. Mind if I tag along? : '''Black Knight:''' Sorry, Rex. Authorized personnel only. You've done your job. Now let the team theirs. : '''Rex:''' But-- : '''Black Knight:''' Boundaries, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Boundaries. Got it. Rex, out. : '''Caesar:''' Main container reached. Attach stabilizer ring. : '''Rex:''' Humane? Yeah, right. : ''[Bobo yawns]'' : '''Bobo:''' See? Great employee benefits. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. Right. Hey, you got a tag sticking out in the back. Mind if I-- : '''Bobo:''' Thanks, pal. Well, off to yoga. : '''Caesar:''' You really shouldn't be here, hermano. : '''Rex:''' The petting zoo? The worm? My monkey practicing good hygiene? You're using that thing to control my friend! : '''Caesar:''' He's still the same Bobo you know and love. He just need a few boundaries. : '''Rex:''' He's not the same, and neither are you! You should hear yourself! : '''Caesar:''' Making the world safer isn't possible without some form of control. And you'd better get some control of yourself, mijo. : '''Rex:''' Or what? You'll use that thing on me? : '''Caesar:''' Open your eyes to all the good we're accomplishing. Isn't this better than smacking them with your giant fists? : '''Rex:''' That's combat! I protect people and property! Okay, property, not so much, but this? If you can't see the difference, then maybe I never knew you at all! : '''Caesar:''' It doesn't matter. I have work to do. : '''Rex:''' So do I! : ''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Uses his Smack Hands to smash everything around him]'' : '''Caesar:''' Rex! Stop! : '''Black Knight:''' Snooping around, Rex? See, that's another one of my boundaries. : '''Rex:''' White Knight may have had his issues, but he never resorted to anything like this! : '''Black Knight:''' I never planned to do this, Rex, but you've become a danger. : '''Rex''' ''[shocked]'': Caesar! Think! You can't do this! : '''Caesar:''' Of course I'm thinking. This is the logical conclusion to what we started. : '''Rex:''' The logical-- Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaah! Aah! : ''[Caesar blasts the mind-control laser, causing Rex to scream and groan in pain]'' : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. You'll thank me later. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' You... better... believe I will! : '''Caesar:''' Please don't resist! It's only painful if you struggle! : '''Black Knight:''' What's taking so long? : '''Caesar:''' He's fighting it! His nantic energy is spiking off the scale! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Boost power. : '''Caesar:''' It's not safe to-- : '''Black Knight:''' It's for the best. : ''[Caesar increases power, causing Rex's nanites to go haywire as a tear fall down his cheek, heartbroken about his own brother betraying him]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Manages to overpower the mind-control machine, much to the surprise and wonder of Caesar and Black Knight]'' : '''Rex:''' You just drew a line in the sand, bro! ''[runs off]'' : '''Black Knight:''' You'd better have a backup. : '''Caesar:''' The prototype. Not portable, but more than enough power, even for him. : '''Black Knight:''' Get it ready. : '''Rex:''' Unh! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' No mood to get slimed right now, mel! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' What happened to your EVO control? : '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Black Knight reactivates Mel's control]'' A demonstration. You know what would happen without our influence. : '''Rex:''' So, you're hijacking its brain, like you tried to do with mine. : '''Black Knight:''' That won't be necessary if you'll willingly cooperate. : '''Rex:''' Translation-- if I do everything you say. : '''Black Knight:''' You've seen how we can work together. Providence still needs you. There will always be a few EVOs we can't control. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. I'm one of them. : '''Black Pawns:''' Shall we pursue? : '''Black Knight:''' Most definitely. : '''Rex:''' Gangway! Coming through! Huh? No! Huh. Black Pawns. Overdoing the whole theme, don't you think? : ''[Rex groaning]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Yah! I'm getting beat up by the chess club! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Black Knight:''' We... got off on the wrong foot. Stow the hardware and come with us. You have my word you won't be harmed. We can start over-- the right way. : '''Bobo:''' You mind? You're interrupting the enjoyment of my employee benefits. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : ''[Rex panting]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Rex was tranquilized]'' Excellent work. Take him to the lab. : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' What? No way! You're not turning my brain to mashed potatoes! Doc?! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Welcome back, Rex. : '''Six:''' Good to see you, kid. : '''Rex:''' Before I blame this on a Burrito-induced nightmare, will someone please tell me-- What... Is... Going... On?! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you think? We've been looking for you. : '''Six:''' We knew Providence might find you first. Fortunately, we planted a mole. : '''Bobo:''' Ehh. Rex! Put 'er there! : '''Rex:''' Uhh! You didn't wash! Oh! You didn't wash! But that means... that he really was... Robo Bobo? : '''Bobo:''' In the flesh. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Literally. I gave it a biological upgrade, complete with his own nanites and... fleas, ticks, lice, chigger mites. : '''Bobo:''' What can I say? I'm an ecosystem. : '''Six:''' It's enough to fool your brother's equipment. The robot is only providing limited intel. But one thing is sure-- new Providence is about more than just getting EVOs off the streets. : '''Rex:''' I saw it. Whatever they're doing over there is seriously messed up. : '''Six:''' That's why we've set up our own operation. : '''Rex:''' ''[Long pause as Rex sees the new HQ]'' Whoa! Where did you get all of this? : '''Six:''' We have our sources. : '''Rex:''' So, we're like super-secret spies now? Cool! :''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' It's too bad about White, though. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss that pasty guy. : '''White Knight:''' ''[White enters]'' How touching, Rex. I, on the other hand, have rather enjoyed the last six Rex-free months. Now... If we're done with the love-in, we have work to do. : '''Rex:''' It really can't get any better than this. Oh, except one thing-- Can I get a TV? ===Crash and Burn=== *From this episode, Rex can create two builds at once :''[Bobo yawns]'' :'''Bobo:''' They say nothin' good happens after midnight. And, you know, they're right. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm worried about you, Bobo. Since we left Providence, you've been staying out every night. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :''[Bobo munching]'' :''[Bobo gulps]'' :'''Bobo:''' That's not the least of your worries. Seen our boy lately? :''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex is fine. He just needs time to adjust to our new setting. Rex? It's Holiday. Are you there? :'''Rex:''' Hey, doc. What up? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just checking in. Everything okay? :'''Rex:''' Better than okay. I'm about to set a new land-speed record' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That wasn't what I meant. How are you feeling? :'''Rex:''' Appreciate the concern, but the only thing on my mind right now is the need for speed. Apparently, I'm not alone. I'll call you back. Hey! Slow down! I want to talk to you! Ah. You want to play chicken. Doc? Bobo? I'm getting blitzed by some bikers. Aah! :'''Rand:''' Might as well give up! I won't quit! I'm a relentless, never-say-die, nonstop-- Uh, hey, wait a minute. Who are you? :'''Rex:''' Think you could have asked me that before trying to run me down? :'''Rand:''' Ooh! My fault. I thought you were one of us. :'''Rex:''' "One of us"? What is this? :'''Rand:''' Sorry, dude. No time to chat. Peace. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, like I'm gonna take that for an answer. A street race? Or a demolition derby? :''[Lance grunts]'' :''[Lance groans]'' :'''Lance:''' Gonna need a bike. :'''Rex:''' Can't believe you survive that! You must be the luckiest guy on the-- These are nanites. :''[Lance groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oh, come on! :'''Six:''' Something wrong? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Prototypes. I prefer tried-and-tested. And I don't even know what we're going to do with half of this stuff. :'''Bobo:''' You're goin' soft, gettin' worked over by a bunch of goofballs on motorcycles. :'''Rex:''' They had weapons. :'''Bobo:''' Last time I checked, so did you. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, but not while I'm on my bike. I'm strictly one at a time. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites that have infected his body are slowly poisoning him. I've never seen anything like it. :'''Rex:''' Do what you can, Doc? I'm gonna go out and look for those racers. :'''Bobo:''' Sounds dangerous. :'''Rex:''' Sure, Bobo. You can come, too. The nanites we found on the biker gave off a different energy signature. Gonna use one of Holiday's new toys to try to scan for it. A bunch of them. And they're moving fast. :'''Bobo:''' Then step on it! Maybe Holiday has a point about prototypes! :'''Rex:''' Or maybe they're not on the streets. I'll watch the road. You watch the screen. :'''Bobo:''' Gotta warn you-- Chimps make bad navigators! :'''Rex:''' Just do it! :'''Bobo:''' Hmm? Left! You're goin' left! Make a right! Another right! :'''Rex:''' Which way? :'''Bobo:''' I don't know! That way-ish! Wah! Like I said-- Monkeys make great navigators! This is your biker gang? :'''Rex:''' They had weapons before I'm telling you-- They're tough! :'''Bobo:''' If you say so. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Bobo:''' Wall. :''[Bobo and Rex grunts]'' :'''Moss:''' That's some fancy ridin'. You following us, kid? :'''Rex:''' Still think they don't look tough? :'''Bobo:''' I take it back. :'''Moss:''' Who are you, kid? 'Cause whoever you are, you're not bad. :'''Rand:''' You're awesome! Where'd you learn to ride like that? Anybody with that kind of skill should be with us. Yeah! :'''Moss:''' What's your secret? :'''Rex:''' No secret. I'm just built that way. :'''Lunk:''' Is that guy from TV-- The one who fights EVOs. :'''Bobo:''' Five bucks for pictures, ten bucks for autographs. :'''Rand:''' A talking monkey! Outrageous! I gotta have one. Is he for sale? :'''Bobo:''' Brother, you can't afford me. :'''Rex:''' You guys seem tight-- For guys who try to kill each other. :'''Rand:''' We're not killers. We're racers. This is a legitimate sport. :'''Moss:''' It is what it is. Our races aren't for the weak. Name's Moss. You've met Rand. :'''Rex:''' He tried to blow me up. :'''Rand:''' I missed. You're welcome. Come on, don't leave me hangin'. :'''Moss:''' Never met a celebrity who could ride. :'''Rex:''' I caught you, didn't I? :'''Moss:''' But are you tough enough try me? :'''Rex:''' Try me. :'''Bobo:''' You gotta fight back? :'''Rex:''' With what? :'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. Fine, leave it to Chimpy. Aah! I'll take that. Phbt! :'''Rex:''' Something else on the map-- Moving fast! And it's big! :'''Providence Agent:''' Halt! You kids! Pull over! Now! :'''Moss:''' Cops! :'''Bobo:''' Worst than cops-- Providence. :'''Rex:''' The bikes give off a nanite signature. They must have tracked it. :'''Providence Agent:''' Rex, what are you doing here? :'''Rex:''' Research. You don't want to get caught up in this! Back off now! Sorry, guys. Have Black Knight sent me the bill. :'''Rand:''' Ha! No way! You want to beat me, you gotta step your game up. Aah! :''[Rand groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Rand! :'''Bobo:''' Don't stop! Kid's wearing armor. He's fine. :'''Rex:''' No! Something's wrong! :''[Rand groans]'' :'''Rex:''' What is this thing? Doc? Get over here quick. We've got another one. :'''Biker gangs:''' WHOO-HOO-HOO! :''[Biker gangs laughs]'' :'''Biker gangs:''' Yeah! :'''Moss:''' We thought you'd bailed on us. Where were you? :'''Rex:''' Watching a doctor try to save Rand's life. :'''Moss:''' Racers get sick sometimes. It's part of the life. :'''Rex:''' Those nanite power sources-- you got to stop using them. To feel one with the road, that rush? So some people get sick. When we're on our rides, nothing else matters. :'''Rex:''' Your rides are killing you! You're gonna be dead-- All of you! And for what? So you can go a little faster? :'''Moss:''' We need those things to ride. You know what it's like. :'''Lunk:''' Please. Don't take our bikes away. :'''Rex:''' Nobody's going to take your bikes. But I need to know where you got those nanites. :'''Lunk:''' ''[sighs]'' A guy named Valve. He supplies the superchargers. :'''Moss:''' You're wasting your time. Valve never talks to anybody. :'''Rex:''' He'll talk to me. :'''Bobo:''' Been in a lot of bad biker dives, but this is the worst I've ever seen. :'''Valve:''' Enter, strangers. The biker will see you now. Please, sit. May I offer you some tea? :'''Rex:''' I'll pass. :'''Valve:''' Suit yourself. I find a good cup of tea soothing-- for the body and the soul. :''[Valve slurps]'' :'''Valve:''' You don't have to tell the biker why you're here. The biker can tell. You wish to buy a supercharger. :''[Valve slurps]'' :'''Rex:''' Your superchargers are killing people. It's gonna stop. :''[Valve breathes deeply]'' :'''Valve:''' Hmm. That sounds like a challenge. :'''Rex:''' Maybe it is. I'll race you for them. If I win, you hand over your entire stockpile. :'''Valve:''' Shh! Your answer is on the wind. :'''Rex:''' You're... not right in the head, are you? :'''Valve:''' When the wind commands, the impossible game must be gamed. The challenge is accepted. We will race for the superchargers. And when the biker wins... It won't matter. :'''Rex:''' Why is that? :'''Valve:''' Because you'll be dead. Let the race begin. :'''Moss:''' This is his own private track. He knows it better than anyone. You can still back out-- Probably. :'''Rex:''' And let people become poison, like Valve? No. I can take him. Just give me something to hit him with. You guys are walking arsenals. You don't have anything? :'''Moss:''' You didn't think we'd need 'em today. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. :'''Six:''' Message from Holiday. The two sick teens have stabilized, but she's still a ways from finding a cure. :'''Rex:''' It was the only weapon I could find, okay? Can I borrow the sword? :'''Six:''' Use your own. :'''Rex:''' On wheels? It's not gonna happen. :'''Six:''' What's stopping you? :'''Rex:''' Well, for one thing, I-- Um, not sure exactly. :'''Six:''' What have I been teaching you? Focus on what you want and make it happen. No more excuses. :''[Bobo munching]'' :''[Bobo munching]'' :'''Valve:''' You're lucky. One the very best get a chance at this track. :'''Rex:''' Then I should fit right in. Rules of the game-- ten laps. Cross the finish line before the biker, and you may have them. :'''Rex:''' So, is the wind talking to you now? :'''Valve:''' The wind commands the Biker to destroy you. The Biker is happy to oblige. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Bobo:''' You gonna help him? :'''Six:''' He's doing fine. :'''Bobo:''' Are you watchin' the same race I am? :''[Valve grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' You're in trouble, Rex! No. Keep it together. Keep... it... together. Six said it-- Focus. Focus. Focus! :''[Valve laughs]'' :'''Valve:''' Oblivion. :'''Six:''' Like I sad-- He's doing fine. :'''Rex:''' Double-up! Where have you been all my life? :''[Valve grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Cute toy. But I like mine better. :'''Valve:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' Was there any doubt? :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, plenty. :''[Valve panting]'' :'''Rex:''' We had the deal. Remember? :'''Valve:''' Like the storm that changes directions on a whim, the biker is changing the deal. 'Cause the biker-- ''[grunts]'' Doesn't like! ''[grunts]'' The biker-- ''[grunts]'' never loses! ''[grunts]'' Unh! :'''Rex:''' First time for everything. Thank you, Six. :'''Six:''' It was all you, kid. :'''Moss:''' Rand! :'''Biker gangs:''' Oh, Rand! Good to see you! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Completely detoxified. In a couple days, they'll be back to full strength. Those could be useful at the new base. :'''Moss:''' You can't stop us from riding. :'''Rex:''' What's stopping you? You can still ride. You just won't be poisoned by nanites. Come on. Race you back to the garage. :''[Rex rides off]'' :'''Moss:''' ''[Chasing after Rex]'' You heard the man. Hit it! :'''Six:''' You do realize we just turned a group of reckless teenage boys loose on the city. :'''Bobo:''' All in a day's work. ===Heroes United, Part 1=== : '''Rex:''' Six, hold on! Holiday, Six is down! Six is down! This is all your fault! Holiday? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm doing everything I can, Rex. We have to focus on the bigger picture. Six would want us to. : '''Rex:''' Figures the only time I do what Six would want, he's in a coma. : '''White Knight:''' I'll be having the pleasure of helping Providence figure out how to close the rift. The rest of you can deal with that machine. : '''Rex:''' It got blown to bits along with Six, remember? : '''White Knight:''' Don't be so sure. Someone needs to find out what that is and where it went. : '''Ben:''' I can do that. : '''Bobo:''' You-- Ain't doing nothing but sitting pretty and shutting up. : '''Rex:''' And if Six of them pull through, you won't even be able to do that. : '''Ben:''' I'm sorry about your friend, honestly. Obviously, he's important to you. But I have no clue what's even happening here. I've never heard of Providence or EVOs or-- One minute I'm doing a TV interview. The next, hole in the ky, flash a light and I'm punching out a mecha monster. Then I end up in a world where nobody knows me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' He might actually be telling the truth. Ben's nanite absorption level indicates he came through that rift without any. : '''Rex:''' I thought White Knight was the only living thing on Earth that's nanite-free. : '''Ben:''' So you mean I have those things in me now? Great. Where's my space suit? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll live. Still doesn't explain how you got here. : '''Ben:''' We're probably looking at a parallel world thing. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Parallel worlds are a theory, and a shaky one at that. : '''Ben:''' Are you serious? I go home all the time. Maybe if you knew where that mech alien was from, it might help prove-- : '''Rex:''' Quit talking! : '''Ben:''' Exactly. Nothing's gonna get answered sitting around here. : '''Rex:''' In case you hadn't noticed, we're holding you under house arrest. : '''Ben:''' You aren't holding me. I was staying to see how I could help. : '''Big Chill:''' You aren't the only person worried about someone close to you. : '''Rex:''' I got this. : '''White Knight:''' Rex, don't! I hate kids. : '''Caesar:''' Nanite Cloud. These are being drawn in from the atmosphere. Now where are you? So it is you. This is most disturbing. : '''Rex:''' Why don't you just go back where you came from? : '''Big Chill:''' I'm trying to, you do? Oh no. : '''Rex:''' What? : '''Ben:''' Mr. Smoothie isn't here. That's messed up. : '''Rex:''' My partner is in a coma. If you're stressing over a frozen drink, you are totally getting punk-fusted. : '''Ben:''' We're in Bellwood, my hometown, where it should be. But it's all different. Part of me hoped it wouldn't be, but this pretty much proves it. : '''Rex:''' This doesn't prove anything! : '''Ben:''' You know the friend you care about? Well, I have a cousin, a grandfather, a best friend that I care about! They don't exist here! I may never see them again! I'm totally alone! So go ahead! Do your worst. : '''Rex:''' Maybe we can... help each other. : '''Ben:''' You... do that? What's that sound? <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I'm curious how big brother knows about something from a parallel dimension. : '''Caesar:''' Because I sent it there. In the early days of the Nanite Project, our goal was simple. Construct microscopic machines to cure diseases, grow new cells, regenerate bones. They was a control issue. Some thought a human-machine link was the answer. Others proposed that the machines control themselves. I was in latter cam. I developed the Alpha to control other nanites. To maximize its effectiveness, I had to program Alpha to think for itself. :'''Ben:''' Does a low explanation mean something bad on your Earth too? :'''Rex:''' Yep. :'''Caesar:''' Alpha developed its own consciousness. It evolved into a unique life-form. It wanted a body, but whatever it built burned out. So when Alpha attempted possessing living this, Alpha had to be eliminated. So I built a dimensional disruptor. :'''Ben:''' Looks like a Null Void gun. We got some like those back home, too. ===Heroes United, Part 2=== :'''Alpha:''' The nanites in those creatures. They are different, powerful. Your nanites are weak. I have no use for you. Where is the boy? :'''Holiday:''' His nanites are off limits!! <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' My brother!? Look around! He's not here! :'''Alpha:''' The father is redundant. Now that I found you. <hr width80%> :'''Alpha:''' I cannot merge! What makes you so special, human? Yes. You shelter an Omega. <hr width80%> :'''White Knight:''' Don't let it get to Rex! If it drains his nanites-! :'''Diamondhead:''' Game over. I get it. <hr width80%> :'''Ben:''' You okay? :'''Rex:''' No. Definitely not okay. It took my Omega nanite, and I think I know what I wants. :'''Alpha-Omega:''' Behold, organics... The beginning and the end of all things. I am Alpha-Omega. This is the twilight of humanity. Alpha-Omega destroys all. :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unfortunately, yes. We're not looking at random destruction. Alpha is synthesizing the matter around him to build his own nanite. :'''Rex:''' Thanks to my Omega nanite. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This isn't your fault, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Sure feels like it. I woke up this morning on top of the world. Now I'm about to witness the end of it. Six was right. :'''Ben:''' I don't think this is how it was meant to play out. I've seen what you can do. :'''Rex:''' My most powerful builds came from the Omega nanite. A lot of people are going to get hurt, and I can't stop it. What happens when the best you can do just... isn't enough? :'''Ben:''' You get an Upgrade. :'''Rex:''' Weren't you listening? Alpha has the Omega. :'''Ben:''' I'm not talking about a nanite. :''[Transforms into Upgrade]'' :'''Rex:''' Hey! What are you-- ''[Upgrade merges with Rex]'' Whoa! Okay. That feels weird. ''[Upgrade covers Rex's body like a suit]'' Whoa! What supposed to happen now? ''[Upgrade's head appears on Rex's left shoulder]'' Aah! Ohh! Don't do that! You're freaking me out! :'''Upgrade:''' Build something! :'''Rex:''' ''[Builds a Smack Arm, which is modified by Upgrade]'' Sa-weet! So, what's the plan? :'''Upgrade:''' You build stuff, I make it better, fight, fight, fight, we win! :'''Rex:''' Works for me! ''[Rex builds a Boogie Pack and blasts off]'' WHOO-HOO! :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex:''' Ye-e-e-ah! :'''Upgrade:''' Nice shot, Rex! Run, run, run, run, run, run, run! :''[Alpha-Omega screams]'' :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex and Ben:''' Aah! Oof! :''[Rex and Ben groaning]'' :'''Rex:''' We need a direct hit on the Alpha. :'''Ben:''' More insults? I've got a good one. :'''Rex:''' I've got an idea, but you have to trust me. When I fire, you've got to make your roly-poly thing. :'''Ben:''' You're not thinking of-- :'''Rex:''' Yup. :'''Ben:''' Isn't that dangerous? :'''Rex:''' Probably. :'''Ben:''' On three? :'''Rex:''' I've officially decided I like you, monster guy. :'''Ben:''' Same here, robot kid. One-- :'''Rex:''' Two-- Three! :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' WOO-HOO! Yeah! Oh, yeah! He shoots! He scores! WHOO! And the crowd goes wild! :''[Rex imitates crowd cheering]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa, there, little nanite brothers. Where do you think you're going? Alpha's not the only one who can tell you what to do. :'''Ben:''' Isn't your Omega Nanite going to be in there, too? :'''Caesar:''' I'll handle that. Where are you, little guy? Got it! Look! It worked! :'''Ben:''' And that, my friend, is how you save the world. :'''Caesar:''' Very clever, little brother. The density of this sphere is over thirty grams per centimeter cubed. It would be extremely difficult for Alpha to slip through the molecules of this, assuming it survived compaction. We need to get rid of it. :'''Rex:''' Caesar, wait! :'''Caesar:''' Rex, I wasn't fully able to repair the Void gun. I'm not sure how long my repairs will hold before it discharges. We only get one shot at this, and we have to do it fast. It's now or never, Rex. :'''Rex:''' How are you going to carry it? That thing must weigh ten tons! :'''Ben:''' I'm not going to carry it. :'''Upchuck:''' Let's do this again someday. :''[Upchuck munching]'' :''[Upchuck gulping]'' :'''Rex:''' Wow! That's just-- Wow! Six? :'''Bobo:''' He's gone. :'''Rex:''' ''[Weakly]'' Gone? :'''Bobo:''' To the little ninja's room. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's going to be fine, Rex. :'''Rex:''' He is?! All right! Yes! Oh, man, I knew it! I knew the whole time! :''[Rex laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' I mean... cool. I'm glad you're alive! :'''Six:''' Me too. :'''Rex:''' I was so scared, Six. I've never done anything so hard in all my life. I really thought the world was going to end, And then I totally kicked butt! :'''Six:''' I hear you had a little help. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, when his monster watch wasn't conked out. Ben was a cool kid. I wonder if I'll ever see him again. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' With infinite dimensions, the math doesn't work in your favor, Rex. :'''Bobo:''' Math-- The enemy of all things good. :'''Six:''' Although-- The cosmos works in mysterious ways. I think certain people are meant to meet, to fight side by side, to be friends. You may see one another sooner than you think. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Caesar?! How did you...? :'''Caesar:''' Okay. Before White Knight comes looking for me here, one last piece of unfinished business. :'''Rex:''' You're sure this is the Omega, right? I mean, you didn't grab the Alpha by mistake? :'''Caesar:''' 100% certain. Well, actually 99.998%. Nothing is 100%. <hr width80%> :'''Alpha:''' Organics who rely on machines for their power, I don't need. The machines themselves, now those I will have. ===Phantom of the Soap Opera=== :'''Rex Salazar:''' In a world he never chose and barely understands...

''[notices something behind Noah, acts all excited]'' Huh hu oh huh... oh El Amor de la Pasion del Amor! Why didn't you tell me EADLPDA was made here? :'''Noah Nixon:''' Um, probably because I didn't really believe you actually still watch a soap opera. :'''Rex Salazar:''' It's a telenovela. The actresses are smoking hot. And I don't have cable?...ah c'mon dude don't be a hater. ''[crosses arms]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Whatever.

Still. I gotta admit it's pretty cool. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Y'know, I didn't even know you'd applied for this. But I guess when you jump ahead in time you gotta expect some surprises...OH MY GOSH...

Come on, move! :''[They run to a supply closet.]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' I've gotta lead another tour in forty-five minutes. We can't get to a dry cleaners and back in forty-five minutes. :'''Rex Salazar:''' This is my bad, but I can fix this. ''[Noah panicking, rocking and hyperventilating]'' We just have to calm down and think. Just calm down. ''[Rex points at Noah]'' Noah, calm down! :''[Rex grabs a bottle of pickles off the shelf, opens the lid and throw contents of jar at Noah's head. A pickle ends up in Noah's mouth, he spits it out.]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Not helping. ''[Noah, calm now and not hyperventilating and rocking, wipes pickle juice out of his eyes.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, listen we passed the wardrobe department on the tour, they've gotta have a washer and dryer right? :'''Noah Nixon:''' Uh... yeah, I guess? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Alright, good, give me your outfit and stay put, I'll take care of everything else. :''[Scene change.

You are here! :''[Isabella kisses Rex all over his face.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' This is happening, right? I'm not going to wake up and be making out with my pillow again am I? :'''Isabella:''' Come with me, they want to cancel us you know. That's why the studio puts us here in this place falling apart with all the accidentes. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Soap operas do not get the respect they deserve. :'''Isabella:''' You are very wise for your age. We don't even go backstage anymore. Too dangerous. :''[A silhouette of a rat is seen, it squeaks]'' :'''Beatriz:''' Is that our page? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh... :''[Rex falls]'' :'''Isabella:''' He's mine, I saw him first! :''[Rex gets up and Isabella grabs him.]'' :'''Isabella:''' He is mine!!! :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hum? :'''Beatriz:''' Why don't we let him decide? :'''[Rex is being pulled back and forth]'' :'''Isabella:''' You would like that wouldn't you? :'''Beatriz:''' Yes I would! Very much. :'''Isabella:''' Fine. :''[Girls growl at each other and walk away.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[grinning]'' Did they just cat-fight over me? :''[The girls come back with lists.]'' :'''Isabella:''' Here is a list of what I need you to do! :'''Beatriz:''' And here's mine! :'''Rex Salazar:''' You want me to work on the show? :'''Beatriz:''' Claro que si, we haven't had a page on set in ages. :'''Rex Salazar:''' But I'm not ... ''[looks over the girls]'' ...able to think of one reason why I would pass this up. :''[Screen cuts to Noah looking out the door. He sees the chief page and closes the door quickly, after that, the scene changes back to Rex carrying boxes of water with yogurt on top.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' I got your yogurt, but I couldn't find the water you wanted. So I got these. :'''Isabella:''' You are dead to me! But I will take this one. ''[takes yogurt]'' :''[Rex stares in shock and drops the boxes full of water.]'' :''[Old man walks in a dressing room, and Reynaldo comes out soon later.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, it's Reynaldo!

I am lactose intolerant. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh, okay, didn't know that. Sugar? :''[Reynaldo knocks the sugar out of his hand.]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' Real men take their coffee strong and hot. Are you suggesting that I am not a real man? :''[Rex looks around and the phone rings.]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex, where are you? :'''Reynaldo:''' No phone! ''[Reynaldo knocks the phone out of his hand.]'' You will talk to me face to face. Mano a mano! ''[grabs Rex's jacket]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait what are you... ''[Reynaldo pulls Rex away from table.

No! :'''Rex Salazar:''' It's okay, I'm fine. :'''Isabella:''' ''[pushes Rex down]'' My jogurt! :'''Rex Salazar:''' I'd hate to be the guy that has to clean that up... ''[whispers to man though they look at him]'' Oh. ''[Reynaldo hands him the mop.]'' :'''Beatriz:''' If I didn't know better, I'd say that someone was trying to kill us. :'''Reynaldo:''' Someone is. The head of the studio is trying to kill our soap opera. That's why he put us in this accursed stage, with all these accidentes. But we... ''[another stage light falls and hits his head, he falls to the ground]'' Aahh... Por que? Ay. :''[Rex looks up and sees a mongoose...runs after it...goes backstage.

You're the one who's been causing all the accidents. :''[Mongo growls, bears teeth]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Okay, let's say we can wrap this up quietly. Last thing I need is someone wondering why the guy in the page jacket can do this. ''[wraps Mongo up in the whip thing, Mongo gets tiny, escapes, growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Guess that explains how you've been able to hide out back here. ''[Mongo pulls lever cannon comes out of floor and fires at Rex. Platform falls Rex dodges. Mongo squeaks]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Can we please do this a little more quietly and with a lot less YOU trying to kill me? :''[Mongo jumps into the “O” of his name on the sign.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Wait, that's you, isn't it? You just want your job back. I can help you. ''[reaches in and tries to cure him Mongo runs out and traps Rex's hand]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Enough with the booby traps, I'm trying to help you. ''[Mongo sets off another trap]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh-oh.

''[gets beat up by mechanical clowns]'' :''[Mongo cuts stars from ceiling they fall and cut Rex's jacket]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Ok, New plan-- First I smash your face, then I cure you. :''[Mongo knocks over equipment]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' No. ''[grabs equipment, Mongo jumps on his arm, punches him and he falls]'' Oww! Look out! :''[Actors run from set, Rex falls and smashes set]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uhh, okay here's the deal—all the accidents you've been having they were caused by an EVO backstage. It used to be a mongoose and now it wants it's old job back. ''[last wall of stage set falls behind him]'' :'''Beatriz:''' What are jou talking about? :'''Isabella:''' We just saw you ruin our set. :'''Reynaldo:''' You are trying to destroy this soap opera just like the rest of them! It is true what they say, this sound stage must be cursed for us to have such a horrible page such as you, Senior... ''[looks at name badge]'' Noah Nixon. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Whoa, wait. This isn't Noah's fault. :''[Three actors gasps]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' ''[tears off his own shirt]'' Now you insult us by talking about yourself in the third person! Somehow we must rebuild and finish our shoot! But as soon as we do, Noah Nixon, I will have you fired! :''[Workers fixing set, Rex's phone rings.]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Rex! Finally. How's the jacket? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Umm. Well, the good news is you won't notice the stain anymore. Hey uh, by the way, your page training, did it include anything about the creepy backstage in studio B? :'''Noah Nixon:''' What? Why are you-- :'''Rex Salazar:''' No reason. I was just thinking, hypothetically, what would happen if I used your jacket to take a quick peek at the telenovela and ended up chasing some killer EVO mongoose? Hypothetically... Uh...Noah? :'''Noah Nixon:''' Sorry, just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I have no future. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey I got this. I hit a little snag. Just keep your pants on. :'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[sitting the maintenance closet in his underwear]'' Heh! :'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry, look, you don't have anything to worry about all I have to do is catch the EVO before they finish shooting and clear my... your name. :'''Noah Nixon:''' You know what? I'm not worried. I am completely resigned to the fact that I am losing my job. ''[Noah hangs up on Rex. Rex hears dial tone.]'' :'''Beatriz:''' ''[to Reynaldo]'' You are bleeding! :'''Reynaldo:''' What I am is an actor! We must shoot this scene. We cannot let them cancel us! ''[moans and falls on his face crushing a chair]'' :'''Beatriz:''' You cannot go on. :'''Isabella:''' If only there were someone else here who knows our show, is fluent in Spanish, and will do a scene in which he kisses me. :'''Rex Salazar:''' I'll do it!!! :'''Reynaldo:''' You? The one who ruined our set and lied about the EVO? I'd rather die! But then, my life will surely end if the show is canceled, so maybe... But no! It's impossible. But yet, what is more impossible than a dream. Nothing means more than my dream of saving this telenovela! :'''Rex Salazar:''' So, is that a-- :'''Reynaldo:''' Si. You will be our savior. And then I will have you fired. Accion! :''[Rex is dressed as Reynaldo. Takes Isabella in his arms and looks deep into her eyes, smiles..then turns away, sees Mongo and gasps. Isabella pulls his face back to her and puckers for a kiss. Mongo squeaks and runs out the door and Rex turns his eyes towards it.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[thinking]'' Okay no kiss, but you're gonna save Noah's job! ''[groans]'' Nope. Doesn't make it any better. ''[Runs out Isabelle runs after him, trips on his wig and falls to the ground gasping, reaching after him]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[makes Rex Ride to chase Mongo down alley. Runs into a set. Falls]'' Where'd you go? :'''Guy in suit:''' You! Page! Take this script to post, pronto. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey wait, I'm not-- :'''Guy in suit:''' Oh? You're not going to do it? Are you talking back to me Mr.... Nixon? :'''Rex Salazar:''' No. Mr. Nixon is not definitely not talking back to whoever you are. ''[takes script, leaves]'' :'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[Points in the other direction of where Rex was going. Rex goes where he's pointing]'' :''[Rex walks by alley hears Mongo munching garbage, sneaks up, tries to cure it. It escapes, Rex corners it in dead end alley]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Oh you're not so tough when you can't hide, are you? ''[Mongo growls and grows huge]'' Oh so you can do that too. ''[Mongo roars, swipes at Rex with claws]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, watch the jacket. I'm in enough trouble already. ''[Sets down scripts. Big fists. Mongo shrinks to escape. Rex falls to the ground. Mongo gets huge again behind him, tries to stomp on Rex, Rex rolls out of the way, Mongo shrinks and runs away, Rex climbs out of hole in ground breathing heavily and falls to ground.]'' :'''Guy in suit:''' ''[walks up]'' Are you kidding me? You still haven't delivered that script? ''[Rex runs off]'' :'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon! ''[points in other direction, Rex runs that way]'' :''[Mongo jumps off roof grows huge lands on Rex, grabs script.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, gimme that!

''[runs off after Mongo]'' :''[Mongo throws him higher than the roof tops, Rex lands on big feet, Mongo tackles him.

''[runs after Mongo]'' :''[Phone rings]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Did you catch it? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Not yet, but I delivered a script for you, well, most of it. :'''Noah Nixon:''' I am so dead. :'''Lady with clipboard:''' ''[grabs Rex by the collar]'' Noah Nixon, you're right on time for your two p.m. tour. ''[Gives Rex clipboard and keys]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Driving tram with tourists]'' Uh, there's a building where some TV shows are made and there's another one and oh great there's the giant killer EVO. :''[Mongo chasing tram, Rex steps on gas.

Mongo jumps at him, Rex grins and raises his left hand and cures Mongo. Mongo lays on ground cute and unconscious.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' That's not the hand I meant. :''[Actors, stunned, applaud]'' :''[Rex picks up Mongo.]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' You are a good page, Noah Nixon. :''[Mongo wakes up runs around on Rex and perches on his shoulder cutely.]'' :''[At supply closet with Noah, Rex walks in holding torn up jacket]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Oh, my jacket!

No one has set foot in here in over 3.500 years. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence doesn't work the location yet? :'''Egyptian Guide:''' ''[laughs]'' The antiquities comission does not like this Black Knight. They keep her busy with much paperwork. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The maze looks like it extends for miles.

What'd you do with her? :'''Black Knight:''' We arrived an hour ago. The locals say Holiday unleashed a monster down in the tunnels. The situation's under control. As soon as we've secured the tunnels, I'll send a team in to see if she's still alive. :'''Rex:''' I'm going with you. :'''Black Knight:''' You're going nowhere. You quit Providence. Unless you're recosindering? :'''Rex:''' Come on, guide. Holiday's in those tunnels. But Black Knight has a whole battalion of Providence goons guarding the entrance. :'''Six:''' I figured she'd be no help.

Where's the back entrance? :'''Egyptian Cooker:''' For so young, you in such a hurry. And old cook like me, I live by selling Kushari. Why not buy some? You buy, I give you more information. :'''Bobo:''' Ah, come on. Stop bein' so stingy.

This is all ancient history? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You can this ancient history? :'''Rex:''' That looks like a nanite! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's because it is a nanite. :'''Six:''' How could they have knowledge back then? :'''Rex:''' Aliens! Like the ones that built the pyramids. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' None of this is more advanced that the 21st century. It's not aliens. I think the answers lie behind this door. But I can't figure out how to open it. :'''Rex:''' Open the door? No problem, Doc! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Stop! This whole place is booby-trapped. We open this wrong, they'll bring the tunnels down on us. :'''Rex:''' If there's a wrong way to open it, then that means there's a right way, too. Maybe the nanite picture is a clue.

Ah, boy! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You could thank me for saving your life. :'''Black Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, our lives are not safe yet. :'''Guranset:''' I am not alone. Together, we shall reconquer this land, and then.. the world! :'''Rex:''' Uh, I think the sun's baked him loopy. You can't reanimate that. It's a statue. :'''Guranset:''' This is not statue, child. It is a tomb. Arise, my mighty steed. Arise, my sphinx! :'''Rex:''' Providence, this is Rex. You may want to evacuate Cairo. :'''Guranset:''' This city is a blight upon my kingdom. All shall be as it once was. :'''Rex:''' I'm warning you, Gharun Set-- I don't want to have to get rough with you. Step off the pussycat. :'''Guranset:''' You presume to tell a pharaoph what to do. Be gone! :'''Six:''' Holiday. There's something I want to tell you before it's too late. :'''Bobo:''' Ugh. Hold still! Oh, no. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' All of them. Like the nanites keeping them alive... self-destructed? I'm sorry. What were you going to say? :'''Six:''' Holiday... I, uh... :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold that thought. :'''Bobo:''' What's it gonna be, the kooky chicks or we go help Rex save the world? :'''Six:''' Rex probably has this under control. Holiday needs my-- our help. :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, I can't resist a good catfight either. :'''Rex:''' Let me handle! This it's too dangerous! :'''Pilot:''' Black Knight, target sighted. It's riding a 50-foot-tall house cat. Please advise. :'''Black Knight:''' Do not harm. Contain and capture. We need that specimen. :''[Black Knight gasps]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Pilot disregard. Last order. Target no longer needed. Destroy. Repeat-- Destroy. :'''Pilot:''' You're with the lady. Lock and load. :'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Get out of here! I don't know what he's up to, but it's not good. :'''Garunset:''' Behold the majesty of my dream. My kingdom! My paradise! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is this place? :'''Black Knight:''' It's the stuff of legends. The fabled hall of records which lay hidden beneath where the sphinx once was. :'''Bobo:''' "Was"? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This can't be! That's the helix splitter. And that looks like a nano-flux inducer. Caesar built the first prototype of one last year. :'''Black Knight:''' I can't let you touch any of this. It's too unstable with age. When you blundered in the tomb, you set off a safeguard. Someone thought this room too dangerous for the world to know about. :'''Bobo:''' Agreed. Let's scram! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't! Don't you know what this means to science? The knowledge in here is invaluable. It cannot be lost-- Again! :'''Black Knight:''' It won't be! Now that we know where it is, we can dig it out later. We will study it. I promise you that. :'''Six''': Holiday. Let it go. :'''Guranset''': As father promised-- I will rule forever. :'''Rex''': Forever is gonna be shorter than you think. :'''Guranset''': No! Nooooo! :'''Rex''': Aw, come on! I didn't hit you that hard! :''[Guranset gasps]'' :'''Rex''': What's happening to you? :''[Guranset gasps]'' :'''Guranset''': Aaaaaaaaah! :''[Guranset grunts]'' :'''Guranset''': Do not touch your pharaoh. :'''Rex''': You need help. Your nanites are dying of old age-- I think. It's like starting an old car. Uh, o-or a camel. Let me help you. I can fix your nanites, and then maybe-- :'''Guranset''': Lies! :'''Rex''': You're in a strange time, a strange place. We have science, machines. We can help you. Trust us. :'''Guranset''': Like you trust the woman you call Black Knight? I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. Father told me of you... Rex. :'''Rex:''' What? How do you know my-- :'''Guranset''': I would have helped the world. Ended the hunger, the wars. But now he will return. Avenge me. ''[Echoing]'' I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. <hr width80/> :'''Black Knight:''' You wanted something? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The hall of records-- You can't keep it a secret. It must be studied. That hall-- :'''Black Knight:''' What hall? :'''Rex:''' Why'd you do that?! Holiday said-- :'''Black Knight:''' Some secrets are best left buried under the sands, Rex. :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Gentleman. Dr. Holiday. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, what'd you want to tell me back in the tomb? :'''Six:''' It can wait. :'''Rex:''' Don't wait too long. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' All those priceless artifacts. And we still don't know who created Gharun Set. ===Guy vs. Guy=== :'''Rex:''' This means war. <hr width80%> ===Double Vision=== : ''[The episode starts as a butterfly flies through plants in a flower shop. Suddenly, Rex is thrown into the shop window, making nearby civilians run away. Rex gets up and looks out of the broken glass, seeing a beastly plant EVO, a few people watching, and Agent Six slashing his swords around to evade the EVO's tentacles.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[Pants and brushes leaves off his sleeve and puts on goggles.]'' Not bad! : ''[Uses the Punk Busters to jump out of the shop and generates his Smack Hands to uppercut the EVO, causing it to crash into a nearby building.]'' But I'm better! : ''[The EVO gets out of the glass windows and roars, attacking Agent Six.]'' : '''Agent Six:''' ''[Cuts off a tentacle and walks towards Rex.]'' Talk is cheap, Rex. Prove it. : '''Rex:''' ''[Generating the Smack Hands.]'' No problemo. : ''[The EVO rushes towards Rex, unfortunately, Rex grabs it and slams it onto the ground. A random girl is driving up the road on a moped. However, she is stopped as the EVO blocks the path.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[Putting his hands up to assure the girl.]'' Nothing to worry about, I've got this handled. ''[Turns to EVO, whom is still on the floor.]'' Okay big guy, say adiós to those nasty nanites. : '''Rex:''' ''[Rex kneels down to cure the EVO, flowers spout out of the EVO]'' Aw, for me? Does this mean we're dating? : ''[Suddenly, the flowers shoot out some goo into Rex's face, making him slam onto the floor, a crowd forms around the battle.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[Yelps while getting up and pulls his goggles off and wipes the goo off his face.]'' Oh, that's better. ''[He gives his goggles to the random female on the moped]'' Hey! Watch these for me. ''[Runs back into battle and generates the Punk Busters and kicks the blacked out EVO over a building.]'' Goal! Hey thanks for holding onto my...huh?... : ''[Rex turns around to see the girl missing from the crowd. Deforming his Punk Busters, he spots the girl riding away on her moped. She turns to look back at Rex, appearing to have on his goggles.]'' : '''Rex:''' Goggles! : ''[Rex puts one of his hands up to signal for her to wait, but the EVO returns and wraps its tentacle around Rex's neck. The EVO twists Rex in mid-air in the sky for a minute before slamming him onto the cement. Rex gets up and sees the goggle girl riding away out of sight.]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey! You've got my...ungh...goggles... Aah! Ungh! Did you see that girl?! She stole my goggles! : '''Agent Six:''' Priorities, Rex. : '''Rex:''' They are my priority, Six. I can pound EVOs any day. Those goggles are-- Ah, great. Who invited her? : '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, gentlemen. We've got this covered. : '''Rex:''' We don't need any help. Whoa! Whoa! Ungh! : '''Black Knight:''' Obviously. Control collar-- Now. We'll take it from here. : '''Rex:''' Take it from whe-e-re?! I've already got this under contro-o-o-o-l! Whoa! Ugh! Let me try to cure it. : '''Black Knight:''' The new Providence protocol is to confine, constrain and control. If curing is an option, it will be considered-- At my discretion. : '''Rex:''' Control? I can cure it now and end this. : '''Black Knight:''' The offer still stands. If you want to come back to Providence, you can continue your mission. : '''Rex:''' I have my mission! : '''Black Knight:''' Curing every EVO on Earth isn't a mission, Rex. It's an impossibility. : '''Rex:''' Watch me. : '''Black Knight:''' Everybody back! Contain those seedlings! : '''Rex:''' You just made it worse! Now I've got to clean up your mess. Starting with this guy. See? Fearing works! : '''Black Knight:''' It was your actions that exacerbated this situation. I want full containment and control over those seedlings. Move out-- Now. : '''Agent Six:''' While you were arguing, Holiday found another sprout. Let's go deal with that before Providence does. : '''Rex:''' But-- My goggles! : '''Agent Six:''' Focus, Rex. We've got work to do. : '''Rex:''' Nice work! : '''Agent Six:''' Drop in the bucket. Look below. : '''Rex:''' Wow. And I thought I'd be able to knock off early today. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' On the contrary, Rex. By overlaying current worldwide wind patterns on top of international population centers, we're looking at total global infestation within thirty-eight hours. : '''Bobo:''' Ooh, that's a lot of roughage. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I need to get in the field and obtain some live samples. Bobo and I will meet you at the rendezvous point in the mobile command center. : '''Rex:''' Okay, doc. We're almost there. Hey! It's that girl! Wh-o-o-o-oa! : '''Agent Six:''' What's gotten into you, Rex? : '''Rex:''' My goggles-- I can't see without them! : '''Agent Six:''' Obviously, you can see without them. : '''Rex:''' Well, yeah, but I really need them a lot of the time. Don't you remember when I first got them? : '''Agent Six:''' Actually, no. : '''Rex:''' Oh. Sorry. My bad. It was early on, when I was just learning to control my powers. Whoa! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Aaaah! Aah! Aaaaah! Oof! : '''Agent Six:''' Horse manure. : '''Rex:''' This is exactly why I need my goggles! Hey! I thought this thing was just a sprout! : '''Agent Six:''' It's the nature of plants to grow. : '''Rex:''' Hm. Very Zen of you, Six. Well, it's the nature of me to kick EVO butt! Whoa! Oof! Yuck! This stuff really stinks! : '''Agent Six:''' All yours. : '''Rex:''' Ta-da! And for my next trick... Oh, and look who's late to the party. : '''Black Knight:''' ''[Entering]'' Alpha team, I want you to lay down suppressive fire and-- : ''[Realizing the EVOs not there]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Belay that. Sit Ops, I was told we had a Class-Three EVO situation here. Where is the EVO? : '''Rex:''' ''[Rex hands her flowers]'' Sorry. This is all that's left. Six, are we good here? I've got to run. : '''Agent Six:''' I'd put those in water. : '''Black Knight:''' Unh! : '''Rex:''' Slow down! I just want to-- Ungh! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh? What?! No way! Hey! You've got my-- Ugh! Whoa! ...Goggles. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got bigger problems than a girl on a scooter, Rex. First a flower shop, then gardening supplies. It's getting hungrier. Gentlemen, I suggest you get to the sewage-treatment plant as quickly as possible. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Why? : '''Agent Six:''' Fertilizer, Rex, as in if those sprouts chow down on that much raw nourishment, we're in some deep... : ''[Plant EVO bursts through a nearby wall]'' : '''Rex:''' ...Horse maneure. Hungry? Eat this! : '''Agent Six:''' Holiday, get to the sewage plant. We'll meet you there after we clean up. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Clean up? I'd rather make a mess! Shoulda brought my chainsaw. : '''Agent Six:''' Shoot the seedlings! : '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, this time I'm going to-- : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey! Wait! Aw, man! Back off! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Bobo:''' You went a little nuts there, buddy. I like it! But... Goggles? : '''Rex:''' That EVO interrupted before I could finish the story. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Agent Six:''' Here, kid. Try these on. : '''Rex:''' Um, so I can look like a total doofus? : '''Agent Six:''' You have no idea how unique these goggles are, Rex. A reclusive weaponsmith in Zurich crafted this single pair before he turned EVO. : '''Rex:''' Really? And then what happened to him? : '''Agent Six:''' I did. He won't be crafting any more goggles. : '''Rex:''' Cool! : '''Agent Six:''' These are one-of-a-kind, Rex-- Special, for you. : '''Bobo:''' What a bunch of chimp chips! Those goggles are-- Whoa! : '''Rex:''' Wow. That is a lot of rampaging EVO. : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. Lucky holiday-- She's right in the thick of it. : '''Rex:''' Lucky? : '''Bobo:''' She gets to try out all the special modifications I made to that sweet ride. : ''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Plant EVO has Holiday trapped inside the Mobile Command Center]'' Okay. Let's see how you like 10,000 volts of-- : ''[Holiday presses a button, and music starts playing]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo's mix tape?! Who puts the stereo next to the weapons system?! One more time-- Big red button. Always go for the big red button. Unless you don't want to drain the batteries to zero. : ''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo, your improvements could use some improvements. Rex, if you're not too busy, I'd appreciate a little assistance. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, ain't that your girlfriend? : '''Agent Six:''' She can take care of herself, right, Rex? : '''Rex:''' Right-- For now. : ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's more like it. Ungh! Fine! Let's see how you like this! I don't know what you just did, Rex, but thanks. Rex? : '''Black Knight:''' I admit our last encounter didn't end well, but I think we need to work together on this one. : '''Rex:''' You want to work together? We left Providence, remember? : '''Black Knight:''' Rex-- : '''Rex:''' What happened to "stay out of my way"? : '''Black Knight:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' So now when you need somebody to take out your trash, you can just forget that I quit your crummy organization? : '''Black Knight:''' Yes, Rex, I can, because I don't let my emotions guide my choices. I only want what's best for Providence-- And the world. : '''Rex:''' Okay, cool. Just wanted to hear you say it. Aah! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the EVO is too big to cure without getting to its core. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, I'm not doing much good out here! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' All those vines, the seedlings, everything-- They're just puppets to the plant. Stop those nanites in the core, and you cut the strings. : '''Rex:''' On it! Huh?! : '''Agent Six:''' Watch it, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! All I want are my goggles. All I've wanted all day are my goggles, and this EVOs been blocking me over and over! Hey, Bobo, you know how to shoot one of these? : '''Bobo:''' Eh, how hard could it be? : '''Rex:''' Load me into this thing and point it right at that EVO's sweet spot. And hurry. I got better stuff to do. : '''Bobo:''' You do know that's 30,000 gallons of raw sewage you're aimin' at? : '''Rex:''' Don't remind me. Oh... Yuck! Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck! : '''Agent Six:''' Elegant solution, Rex. : '''Bobo:''' You don't smell elegant. You stink worse than me. I'm a little jealous. : '''Black Knight:''' All right, Rex. Get to work. : '''Rex:''' Work? What do you mean? I just served that vegetable! : '''Black Knight:''' You cut the strings, but you still have to fix the puppets. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' She's right, Rex. : '''Black Knight:''' You want to cure the world? Start curing. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa, man, I'm beat! I don't think I can move another inch if you paid me. : ''[Goggle girl rides past him]'' : '''Rex:''' Gotta move! See ya! Hey! Stop for a second! Six, I'm really starting to think this girl's got some kind of EVO action going on-- Teleporter, speedster, something. : '''Goggle girl:''' Hey! : '''Rex:''' Huh? Six, she's not just a teleporter. She can make doubles of herself-- Multiple abilities! She's an EVO, like me! : '''Goggle girl:''' It's the skeevy guy who's been chasing me. He was chasing me, too. And me. What do you want? : '''Rex:''' You took my goggles! I want them back! : '''Goggle girl:''' Hey, Einstein, did you see our logo? That stands for "Goggle Girl", as in the delivery service. You haven't ever heard of us? : '''Rex:''' Um... No. : '''Goggle girl:''' "Nothing is cuter than a girl on a scooter." Kind of hard to miss. : ''[Goggle girl groans]'' : '''Goggle girl:''' It's the worst slogan ever. : '''Rex:''' But-- But my goggles! : '''Goggle girl:''' Part of our costume. The boss buys them in bulk, along with these cheesy wigs he makes us wear. It's kind of lame. : '''Rex:''' In bulk?! Those goggles?! But... They're one-of-a-kind! They're special! They're-- They're... I'll just go now. Nope. Nope. Definitely not. : '''Agent Six:''' I still don't know why those goggles were so important to you. : '''Rex:''' You gave to me, Six. It was the first present, the first nice thing that I remember getting since you found me. You said they were special, and that made me feel special. : '''Six:''' Yes, about those goggles... Apparently, according to Bobo, I may have misled you. There was dozens of them in the Providence service bay. : '''Rex:''' I knew the story was fake, but you told it because you cared about me. That's what made them special. : '''Agent Six:''' I see. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, champ. You got a package. : '''Goggle girl:''' Sign, please. : '''Agent Six:''' It's for you. From us. Just open it. : '''Rex:''' My goggles! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Better. We commissioned an enhanced version. : '''Rex:''' Cool! Infrared... Microscopic... Nanovision?! Thanks, you guys. You really are one-of-a-kind. : '''Bobo:''' Those are great, but these are me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need to hold on to them for a few more hours while I run a full diagnostic. : '''Rex:''' A few hours?! I just got them! Aw! : '''Bobo:''' Here-- Because I care. : '''Goggle girl:''' They actually look kinda cute. : '''Rex:''' Hey, doc! No rush! : '''Bobo:''' Ain't love grand? ===Black and White=== : '''Calan:''' Be advised, we've got activity. Major activity. Stop right there, or we'll shoot! Don't make me do it. : '''Rex:''' Okay, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like. : '''Calan:''' Calan to command, tell Black Knight-- We have apprehended the intruders. Repeat, we got'em. : '''Rex:''' No! Get out of my head! Stop it! Stop! Stop with the talking! A dream. Oh, thank you! For a second, I swore that I heard his voice. It was almost like he was in the-- Room. Huh?! : '''White Knight:''' I was wondering if I was gonna have to send the monkey in with a bucket of water. But I thought, "why should he have all the fun?" Five minutes-- Situation room. Consider this your wake-up call. : '''Rex:''' Aren't you supposed to be playing dead? You're lucky Black Knight doesn't know you're here. : '''White Knight:''' Black Knight thinks what I want her to think. With the installation of the new regime, I suspected that there was more going on at providence than just this new control protocol. I decided to test my hypothesis. I needed time to operate freely without prying eyes. So I went off the grid. : '''Rex:''' And from the smell of it, you haven't changed out of your suit since then. : ''[Bobo sniffs]'' : '''White Knight:''' I've been busy. I've been tracking their operations. They involve familiar locales and even more familiar machinery. : '''Rex:''' You still use a camera with film? Do they even make that stuff anymore? : '''White Knight:''' What they don't make are machines like these. This is the wreckage of Rylander's lab. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Are they doing what I think they're doing? : '''Rex:''' Do what? : '''White Knight:''' It appears that this new Providence is restarting the nanite program. : '''Rex:''' There is no way my brother would help restart something that nearly destroyed the world. There's got to be a good explanation. We should just ask him. : '''White Knight:''' We can't risk direct contact. We need to infiltrate Providence, download her computer banks, and assess how far along they are before we take any other actions. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over there. : '''Rex:''' Just saying there's more here than meets the eye. Whoa! : '''Six:''' Breaking into Providence? That's a big move, even for you. Black Knight is sure to have enhanced the security systems. We may be able to breach the perimeter defenses, but once inside, we'd be blind targets. : '''White Knight:''' You'd be right if we were playing on her board. : '''Six:''' Forgive me for doubting you. : '''Rex:''' Okay, is someone gonna tell me what these are for? This is so not going to work. : '''Six:''' Trust the plan. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, so, maybe they worked. But how'd you get them to do it on cue? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' All a matter of timing. Assuming we get past the outer perimeter, securing the data is a completely different story. Providence encrypts all data. We need to disable multiple units before we can download anything off the mainframe. Doing that undetected is ''[sighs]'' insane. : '''Rex:''' Finally, a voice of reason. I'm calling my brother. Took the lady with three phds to realize what I've been saying all along is right. Hey, that costs money! I'm over my minutes! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you... This is... : '''Six:''' Doable. : '''Rex:''' Do what? What is that? A secret passage. : '''White Knight:''' When they built the tower, I had them install, these-- Upper-management corridors. : '''Six:''' In the old days, they called passages like these the king's road. : '''White Knight:''' From here, we face some unknowns. Stick to the plan. Or we could die. : '''Rex:''' What?! Me?! What about you?! Part of the plan was to do this quietly. : '''Calan:''' Stop right there, or we'll shoot! : ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Here we go. Ok, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like. : '''White Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. : ''[Calan laughs]'' : '''Calan:''' Welcome back, sir. We've been waiting for you. : '''Rex:''' Que, huh? : '''Calan:''' Sorry for the scare, Rex. We couldn't guarantee the Black Knight wasn't taper our communications. It was best to keep radio silence. In any case-- Say hello to your man on the inside. He've got a bomb! All units, fall back, fall back! Captain Calan, do you copy? Report. : '''White Knight:''' Ready for a repeate performance? : '''Calan:''' Ready when you are, sir. Good luck, everyone. They're headed for the... petting zoo. : '''Holiday:''' Here it is. Just like he said. : '''White Knight:''' This is the Hive. The central nervous system of the entire complex. An electric field protects the inner chambers. We'll need the circuit bandage. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I've got an idea, but you'll have to go in partially naked. We've got eyes everywhere. : '''Six:''' Good. Knight and I will handle the encryption towers. You know what to do with this. : '''Rex:''' No sweat. I'm on it. Just have to make one quick detour. Bro? You in here? Oh, no. No, no, no! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, is that you? What brings you here? : ''[Six groans]'' : '''Six:''' Partially naked. Tower one clear. Proceed to next phase. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Got it. Redirecting the data flow now. : '''Calan:''' Anyone hear for the monkey? : '''Rex:''' Huh?! : '''Bobo:''' Offical pet desk. Keep your distance. : '''Rex:''' Is that Dr. Rylander? : '''Caesar:''' It is. Well, almost. After you brought back Van Kleiss, I couldn't help but to wonder if perhaps I might do the same for him. Unfortunately, Van Kleiss was already great in tune the nanites. As you can see, Dr. Rylander-- wasn't. : '''Rex:''' Ok, whatever. Listen, I'm here on a secret mission. : '''Caesar:''' Secret? : '''Rex:''' White Knight said-- : '''Caesar:''' White Knight is alive? : '''Rex:''' If you can call him that. Anyway, he says... you might wanna sit down for this part? That Black Knight is restarting the nanite program. Don't you think that's messed up? : '''Caesar:''' On the contrary. I'm in charge of it. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Commencing download in T-2 minutes. White Knight has infiltrated sector three. You're right. They are monitoring our movements. How did you know? : '''White Knight:''' It's what I would do. Now start evac protocols. : '''Black Knight:''' I've torn this facility apart looking for that? When I found it, I still couldn't get to it. Bio-feed security system-- Clever. You have to be nanite-free to open it. I guessed you weren't dead. I knew if I let enough info leak about what we're doing here, you've showed up, eventually. I'll take it. : '''White Knight:''' You can try. : '''Black Knight:''' What ever you say. You were the boss. : '''White Knight:''' That's not a providence toy. : '''Black Knight:''' A woman is entitled her secrets. Especially when those secrets keep me alive. : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''White Knight:''' Ohh! What I could've done with you if I hired you first. : '''Black Knight:''' Don't fool yourself, White. : '''White Knight:''' Ohh, ohh, ohh! : '''Black Knight:''' You were bandage at best. the Consortium knew that you weren't the leader for the future. Stand down, old man! : '''White Knight:''' I've got a few secrets of my own, kid. After all, this was my office. Consortium or not, it will be again. : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be advised, they're on to us. Making for the rendezvous. : '''Six:''' I'll take my swords back now. Please. : '''Rex:''' What are you doing, helping Black Knight? She's obviously the more psycho of the two knights. : '''Caesar:''' I'm not helping the Black Knight do anything. I'm trying to fix things. The day everything changed. We never imagined what would happen when we released the nanites. : '''Rex:''' Release them?! You caused the nanite event?! : '''Caesar:''' It was the only way we were going to save the world. : '''Rex:''' You unleashed the worst man-made disaster the world has ever seen!! You've ruined countless lives!! How can you say that you saved anything?! : '''Caesar:''' You weren't there... not in any way that mattered! If we hadn't-- : '''Rex:''' Hold that thought. Here, doggy, doggy. : '''Six:''' Excessive? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Sweet, actually. Now you're overdoing it. : '''White Knight:''' ''[panting]'' Are we finished here? ''[screams]'' Careful, Black. Your council wouldn't be too pleased if you destroyed the very thing you're after. : '''Black Knight:''' If doesn't have to be like this, White! The Consortium may have lost faith in you, but you know my methods are right. Come back. Under my protection, who knows? There may even be a promotion in it for you. : '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters? : '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you? : '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters? : '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you? : '''White Knight:''' I am going to stop the Consortium. If you or Providence gets in my way, this tape goes public. : '''Black Knight:''' Wait! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, stop! You're destroying my work! : '''Rex:''' Your work is done! And so are we! I got it. Time to blow this-- : '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. Face it, kiddo... today is not your day. : '''Rex:''' Actually, today's wednesday, and wednesday means fiesta night at the cafeteria. Getting in is going to be cake... very dangerous cake. Any bright ideas on how we're getting out? : '''Bobo:''' I got one word for you, kid-- Plumbing. : '''Rex:''' I got it. Time to blow this... : '''Bobo:''' Taco stand. : '''White Knight:''' Aah! : '''Bobo:''' Me and Van Gogh, unappreciated in our time. : '''Rex:''' All of that-- Was for that?! I got nanites, billions of 'em. : '''White Knight:''' Not like this one, Rex. This is a Meta Nanite. One of several. Hardwired into its design is a program for the original Dominion Code. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Dominion Code? I thought that was a myth. : '''White Knight:''' I can assure you, doctor, it is very real. Each one gives its host control over different building blocks of the universe- matter, antimatter, elemental, space, time, reality. With the complete code, you can control them. And through them, you control ''everything''. In sort, it's the God Code. : '''Rex:''' The Consortium want to be...gods? : '''White Knight:''' If it wasn't for the original Nanite Event scattering the Metas across the globe, they may have already succeeded. The situation has changed, people. Black Knight has been searching the globe for the other Meta-Nanites. She needs them all to complete the Master Program. As long as we're keeping her secret, she'll hold off. But sooner or later, she'll be coming for this with the full power of Providence and the Consortium at her back. So... if you want to move on, forget what I've told you. : '''Rex:''' You're not getting rid of us that easily, old man. My parents died for this. Black Knight wants war, war she gets. ===Deadzone=== : '''Noah:''' You said it was gonna be fun. You said there'd be hot girls, great bands. : '''Rex:''' It was an honest mistake. They called it the world's largest british rock festival. : '''Noah:''' Yeah, because it was a convention for english geologists! : '''Rex:''' Okay, yes, maybe we did just drive two days for some boring science conference because I didn't actually read past the first paragraph of the website. But we did get some cool free Schwag. Look! : '''Noah:''' I've seen it. It's a pile of rocks! : '''Rex:''' No, look! : '''Feakins:''' Hey! What are you doing? Leave me alone! : '''Rex:''' Pull over. : '''Noah:''' You know that guy? : '''Rex:''' Nope. But I know an opportunity to tweak the Black Knight when I see one. : '''Noah:''' No way. I haven't showered in two days. You real haven't showered in two days. This car is not stopping until we get home. Real mature. : '''Rex:''' Just give me five minutes. I'll grab him before they even notice. Think of it this way. At least something fun will come out of this trip. Shh. : '''Feakins:''' I don't understand what you're saying, guy. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Just take a stay back, Rex. You don't know what you're messing with here. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, you do know what you're messing with! This! Huh? : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey! Who's messing with this? : '''Providence Agent:''' Anything you want to add to that smack talk? : ''[Rex chuckles nervously]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Let's go. : '''Rex:''' I don't know what you did to my powers, but I'd keep the hands off the jacket, if I were you. Uh, on second thought, take the jacket. Thinking about a new one anyway. : '''Providence Agent:''' We're gonna bring him with us? He's harmless as long as we've got Feakins. : '''Rex:''' What's a Feakin? : '''Noah:''' Come on, Rex. You gonna stand there all night getting hugs from your old Providence buddies? : '''Rex:''' No, don't! Or, uh, you're gonna make Agent Six over there even more mad than he already is. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Move! : '''Feakins:''' Aah! What are you doing, guy?! : '''Noah:''' So, what's-- : '''Rex:''' Drive! Drive! : '''Noah:''' Aah! Who is he?! What's going on? : '''Rex:''' Who are you? What's going on? : '''Feakins:''' Do either of you have a milkshake? : '''Providence Agent:''' Pull over! : '''Noah:''' You want to get them to stop that? What happened? : '''Rex:''' Let me guess. You're Feakins. : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, and I am very queasy back here! If we don't get me a milkshake, it's not gonna be my fault if my lunch ends up all over this very nice leather seat! : '''Rex:''' Somehow he's fritzing out my powers. It's like there's a deadzone around him. : '''Noah:''' You talking about nanites or his personality? : '''Providence Agent:''' No more warnings. Pull over! : '''Noah:''' Whoa! : ''[Noah gasps]'' : '''Feakins:''' We're not gonna make it! : '''Noah:''' Yes, we are! This is a '77! They don't make'em like this anymore! WHOO-HOO! Aah! : ''[Noah gasps]'' : '''Noah:''' That was a '77! They don't make'em anymore! My granddad's gonna kill me! : '''Rex:''' Looks like he'll have to wait in line. : ''[Feakins gasps]'' : '''Feakins:''' How great is this?! You guys were at the convention, too? : '''Rex:''' Come on! If we get out of here now, they'll spend the next couple hours looking for the car before they figure out where it went. : '''Feakins:''' So, what's your favorite geological area? I'm a proterozoic man. Of course, the hadean has its merits, too. : '''Noah:''' You couldn't take five minutes to read the whole website? <hr width80%> : '''Noah:''' Thank you! I can't tell you how glad we are you're open. I just want to get cleaned up and get some sleep. : '''Feakins:''' Hold on! Pardon me, but what kind of room service does this establishment offer? What if I want a milkshake? : '''Rex:''' And that kind of brings you up to date, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Well, that explains why you suddenly dropped of my tracking grid. The good news is, the deadzone Feakins creates means the Black Knight can't use your nanites to track you either. : '''Rex:''' Now that Feakins isn't right next to me, it's not as bad. I can still feel them. It's just that they feel all fuzzy. I bet if I put some distance between us, my powers would bounce right back. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot let him out of your sight, Rex. Don't you see why Black Knight wants him? He's the ultimate insurance against any EVO. : '''Rex:''' Not just any. Me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got to hang on to him. I'm on my way to you now. : '''Rex:''' Hey, don't worry about me. I-I may not have my powers, but I've got Noah. We can handle things until you get here. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Just stay put and don't draw attention to yourself. : '''Feakins:''' I know this is your motel! But judging by your office, you and me got a different idea of what "clean" means! Can you believe that guy! : '''Rex:''' Yeah, the last part might be a problem, doc. : '''Feakins:''' Oh. Okay if you guys take this bed? : '''Noah:''' Providence we can deal with. It's him I'm worried about. : '''Black Knight:''' Speak. : '''Black Pawn:''' We lost them. : '''Black Knight:''' I want every asset we have in the state mobilized. Do you understand? Find them! : '''Noah:''' No way! You picked out this disguise. You wear it. : '''Feakins:''' I didn't know it was made of acrylic! You want me to have a relapse of my eczema? 'Cause it won't be pretty! I get all flaky! : '''Rex:''' Guys, the whole point of the disguises is to not attract attention. : '''Noah:''' Fine! Why do I always have to be the mature one? : '''Rex:''' Come on. : '''Feakins:''' We've only got a couple hours to get to our new rendezvous with Holiday. : '''Rex:''' Aren't you going to demand a milkshake? : '''Feakins:''' Thanks, guy. : '''Noah:''' What?! All you've done is moan about milkshakes. Because we were in a car. I don't get airsick. : '''Feakins:''' So, why would I need a milkshake? But if there's a decent sushi bar nearby-- : ''[Noah groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Wait. : ''[Feakins sneezes]'' : '''Feakins:''' What? I said I was allergic to acrylic! : '''Rex:''' Hang on! : '''Feakins:''' Whoa. You gotta stop this thing. : '''Noah:''' You gotta be kidding me! : '''Feakins:''' It's not my fault I got a delicate stomach! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! This isn't even really a car! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Those two agents on the plane are gonna call in others. We gotta go! : '''Noah:''' How are we gonna get anywhere without a car? : '''Rex:''' We've got a chance we can get on a train. : '''Noah:''' It's pitch dark. We're never gonna find the tracks before that train passes! : ''[Feakins laughs]'' : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, very funny. Come on, guy, quit joking around. : '''Noah:''' What are you talking about? : '''Feakins:''' Well, given the shale and quartz in this soil, the train tracks have to be down that way. I mean, that's just obvious stuff to rock lovers like us, am I right? I don't believe it! An entire train car filled with ice cream... And there's no blender! : '''Noah:''' So close, and yet no milkshake. : '''Rex:''' Well, I'm starved. Let's eat. We're all gonna need our strength. Cherry-Berry Chunky Nut? : '''Feakins:''' I'm allergic to ice cream. : '''Rex:''' How can you love milkshakes and be allergic to ice cream? : '''Noah:''' Do you really want to hear him answer that? : '''Rex:''' Look, I'm sorry. I know it's been a crazy day for you. : '''Feakins:''' I woke up yesterday thinking I was just a regular accountant who loved rocks... Only to discover that I'm actually this super-important guy who everyone's after because I got some kind of amazing power! : '''Rex:''' Lucky you. Move! Move! We're close. We're going to make it to Holiday. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I can't stay here. We'll have to meet somewhere else. : '''Rex:''' I see the perfect place. : '''Black Knight:''' Let's end this game, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Black Knight? : '''Feakins:''' I don't believe it. The Black Knight works at Bob's Biscuit Barn! : '''Black Knight:''' Now that we've found you, there's nowhere to hide. It should not have taken the most advanced satellite system in the world this long to pinpoint them. The excuses can wait. Right now, I want this wrapped up. : '''Noah:''' How did Black Knight know where we were? : '''Rex:''' I don't know. : '''Noah:''' Even if you make it to the Holiday, is Black Knight just gonna find us? : '''Rex:''' I don't know! : '''Feakins:''' When are we gonna get a milkshake?! : '''Rex:''' I don't know! : '''Feakins:''' I'm in a car. It's moving. I'm getting queasy back here. : '''Rex:''' Then get out of the car! : '''Feakins:''' Aah! : '''Black Pawn:''' Be advised-- Primary target Feakins is to be recovered alive if possible. : '''Rex:''' You know how I said we don't get through this, with or without my powers? Well, it looks like I was wrong. They're after Feakins. That means "Noah" has a shot at making a break for it and getting to Holiday. Do you understand what I'm saying? : '''Black Pawn:''' Let the breakaway go. And stay on the primary target. : '''Rex:''' Huh. I guess they're not afraid of me with you standing here. Which is... Awesome! : '''Black Pawn:''' Pull up! Pull up! : '''Rex:''' Mwah! Man, have I missed you! : '''Noah:''' Guess I don't need this anymore. : '''Rex:''' I can't believe that plan actually worked. : '''Noah:''' Feakins still has to make it to Holiday. : '''Feakins:''' Oh, I'm not feeling so good. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! : '''Black Pawn:''' The primary target is unconventional. Ground units, reroute to intercept. We will cover. : '''Rex:''' We're going after Feakins! Come on! : '''Pilot:''' Ground units are down. Moving to pursue a primary target. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Stay on Rex. If we don't engage him, he'll tear us apart. : '''Noah:''' Whoa! : '''Rex:''' Sit tight. : '''Noah:''' Uh, where would I go? : '''Rex:''' Mind if I borrow this? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Noah:''' Rex! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Providence Agent screams]'' : '''Rex:''' Ow! Hey, watch it! I'm still a little rusty here! These guys are tough. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! Hang on to me! : '''Noah:''' Aah! Whoa! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Where's Feakins? : '''Rex:''' Oh, come on! This guy is killing me! : '''Noah:''' Maybe he'll still coming. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't wait. Providence followed you here. What? : '''Rex:''' We got him! Let's go! : '''Noah:''' It's too late. : '''Black Knight:''' Where is my visual? : '''Black Pawn:''' They're just gone. : '''Rex:''' What just happened? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a prototype stealth device built into the lab. That's why I had to get you in here. It was the only way to get you out of Black Knight's sight. : '''Noah:''' So, that's it? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's it. The good guys won. : '''Rex:''' Oh, hey, by the way, doc, you're a big geology buff, aren't you? So, did we hook you up with the perfect safe house or what? You'll never have to worry about driving without a milkshake again. : '''Feakins:''' Oh, it's great, guy. The only problem is the gas. : '''Rex:''' Well, I'm sure we can kick in a little gas money, too. : ''[Feakins farting]'' : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, that's not what I meant. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we can't stay. : '''Rex:''' You got that right! : '''Feakins:''' Wait. I just wanna say... Its not easy being thrown together with someone who can be a little, well... Difficult. : '''Rex:''' Hey... You're not so bad. : '''Feakins:''' Me?! I was talking about you! : ''[Black Knight sighs]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Since the search for Feakins is going nowhere, we have no choice but to become much more aggressive... With Rex. ===Assault on Abysus=== : '''Diane Farrah:''' Through research and hard work, Providence has turned the curse of the EVO into a blessing. One that will serve mankind. Science and compassion have created a new future for all EVOs. A future filled with happiness and hope. : '''Black Pawn:''' You? Seen some EVOs pass through here? <hr width80%> *Rex and Circe finally admit their true feelings for one another. Unfortunately, there was not enough episodes to explore their romance further. <hr width80%> : ''[Somewhere in [[w:Hong Kong|Hong Kong, China]]'']'' : '''Circe:''' Okay. They're gone. : '''Skywwd:''' For now. Get out of here, Circe. Run! : '''Circe:''' I'm not leaving you guys. : '''Skywwd:''' You can pass as human. Go-- Before Providence gets you too. : '''Black Pawn:''' The girl! She's with them! : '''Skwwyd:''' Run! : '''Rex:''' Hmm? What's up? : '''Circe:''' You're the only person I could turn to. : '''Rex:''' Circe? : '''Circe:''' I don't know. That's the hardest part. : '''Rex:''' You did what you had to do. : '''Circe:''' I left them there, Rex. Our friends. Providence has to be stopped. Someone needs to do something. : '''Rex:''' ''[puts his arms around Circe to comfort her]'' We are. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Am I disturbing you two? : '''Rex:''' No. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight wants to talk with you. : '''Rex:''' Ugh. What's he gonna yell at me for this time? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' No, I meant Circe. He wants to talk to her. : '''Circe:''' Providence has been hunting these down, too? : '''White Knight:''' You didn't tell her about them, Rex? : '''Rex:''' I thought the Master Control Nanites were supposed to be top secret. : '''White Knight:''' She has to know if she's going to lead the mission. : '''Rex:''' Her? That was supposed to be my mission. : '''White Knight:''' It's no one's mission. It's about getting the job done. : '''Circe:''' Why me? : '''White Knight:''' Intelligence indicates that Providence has targeted a Master Control Nanite in Abysus. In Van Kleiss' old castle, to be more precise. You're the only one with the knowledge to get us in there. : '''Rex:''' I've been there before. How hard could it be? Circe, you don't have to. : '''Circe:''' If it helps stop Black Knight in Providence, I'm in. : '''Rex:''' Okay, Doc. We made it. The new power suit gave me more range, just like you said. : ''[Circe whistles]'' : '''Circe:''' Thanks, Banak. We're trying to keep a low profile. Don't tell anyone, okay? : '''Rex:''' Good thing you knew the secret whistle or we might have been rooting around forever. : ''[Rex chuckles]'' : '''Rex:''' Get it? "Root"? Uh... This can't be easy coming back here. I owe you. : '''Circe:''' Forget it. We're even. I used you in the past, now you and your friends are using me. : '''Rex:''' Is there some sort of problem between you and me? : '''Circe:''' There's nothing between you and me. Just the mission. I don't have good memories of this place. Let's just leave it at that, okay? : '''Rex:''' Fine. I'm surprised we haven't run into-- Ugh! : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Skalamander:''' Traitor! Stop her! : '''Circe:''' Aah! : '''Rex:''' Can you chill?! There's no time for this. Who's leading you now that Van Kleiss is gone? I need to speak to your leader. Figures. Biowolf, we have a problem. And... I need your help. : '''Biowulf:''' I will listen. : '''Rex:''' Great, because-- : '''Biowulf:''' Only after you. earn the right-- Through combat. : ''[Biowulf growls]'' : ''[Rex spits]'' : '''Rex:''' At least Van Kleiss was civilized. Buckle up, dog boy. : '''Biowulf:''' You may speak. This nanite you want-- It's not here. None of us have seen it up in the castle or the blast source. : '''Rex:''' I didn't say up. It's down. White Knight thinks it's under the castle. Some other secure lab area. : '''Biowulf:''' The primary chamber? : '''Circe:''' It's under the castle? Van Kleiss always said it was forbidden for us to go there. : '''Rex:''' You think he remembered to tell Black Knight that? Let me take it out of here. : '''Biowulf:''' No! You're a traitor to your own kind. A lapdog to these humans. I've heard enough! : '''Rex:''' All of us will fall-- All EVOs-- If she gets it. Black Knight is worse than you know. If I don't get the nanite out of here, Providence will take it. : '''Biowulf:''' Providence! This is Abysus, the heart of the EVO world. Providence wouldn't dare. : '''Circe:''' The sentries have spotted something. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. I wonder who. : '''Providence Soldier:''' Black Knight, the assault forces are in place. : '''Black Knight:''' The field is yours. We've secured the borders. No chance White Knight and his team will get in the country to interfere. : '''Biowulf:''' The castle is surrounded. : '''Rex:''' Standard operating procedure for Providence is to secure the perimeter, then close for attack. Black Knight will have snuck forces around back. : '''Skalamander:''' How should we counter? : '''Rex:''' Easy. : '''Biowulf:''' You take your nanite. I'll decide how to deal with the invaders. : '''Black Pawn:''' Deploy the collars. Rise. Forward. Attack. : '''Rex:''' The nanite event blew away half the castle. This must have been deep enough to survive it. Huh? You hear that? : '''Circe:''' No. Hear what? : '''Rex:''' Uh... Nothing. This place would make a great rec room. Maybe a karaoke machine over there-- : '''Circe:''' Van Kleiss would send volunteers down here to try and get in. None of them ever came back. : '''Rex:''' Well... That's encouraging. : '''Circe:''' What is it? : '''Rex:''' They're... I-I think they're nanites. They're following our lights. They can't see in the dark. I have a plan. Lead them back. : '''Circe:''' ''[concerned]'' Rex? : '''Rex:''' When I say "roll," roll. : '''Circe:''' What?! : '''Rex:''' Roll! Circe, sing! : ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic blasts on the EVOs and beams at Rex.]'' : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' We always made a good team. : '''Circe:''' It won't hold them long. : '''Rex:''' You think this is why Van Kleiss always wanted me-- So I could get him in here? : '''Biowulf:''' Providence has breached the castle. We can't hold our position much longer. : '''Rex:''' Go. I'll get the Master-Control Nanite. ''[Notices how worried Circe is about him probably not returning]'' This isn't Hong Kong. I'll be okay. I'll meet up with you soon. : '''Biowulf:''' They've turned our own people against us. : '''Circe:''' Let me see what I can do. : ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic bursts on several collared EVOs]''. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : ''[Circe gasping]'' : '''Circe:''' So many. : '''Biowulf:''' You can't stop the ones they've collared. : '''Circe:''' I can go down trying. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Her sonics are disrupting the offensive. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Hyah! Unh! : '''Biowulf:''' If we can't defeat them, we'll take down as many as we can fighting. : '''Circe:''' This isn't one battle. It's a war. And we can't let it end here before Rex has the Master-Control Nanite. : '''Biowulf:''' What, then? : '''Circe:''' Tactical retreat. : ''[Circe whistles]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh. Dad. : '''Providence Soldier:''' Outer rooms of the castle secured. : '''Black Pawn:''' I don't need you here, Black Knight. It's only a matter of time. We will take the castle piece by piece. : ''[Skalamander growling]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' You are ours now. Down. : ''[Skalamander grunting]'' : '''Skalamander:''' Rex is here. He will make you bow to us! : '''Black Knight:''' This is all a diversion. Find Rex before he gets the Master-Control Nanite. : '''Black Pawn:''' Yes, Ma'am. : '''Black Knight:''' Either you do it or I will. I'm on my way. : '''Rex:''' This place... Rylander had the same type of lab. : '''Soldier:''' Security system engaged. : '''Rex:''' No! : '''Soldier:''' Intruder. Provide authorized identity or be terminated. Identify. Identify. Identify. Identify. : '''Rex:''' Aah! I'm Rex! Rex Salazar! : '''Soldier:''' Salazar genetype-- Accepted. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' There you are, you little troublemaker. You're coming home with the good guys. Uhh. Weird. Uh... I don't suppose you're looking for the karaoke machine? Running into you-- What a coincidence. Come down here a lot? Whoa! Missed me. : '''Black Pawn:''' I have the nanite. Keep the boy busy while I get it to Black Knight. : '''Rex:''' No! : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' You two sure know how to make an entrance. : '''Circe:''' The others are getting hammered by Provindence. They're barely holding them off in the dungeon. : '''Rex:''' Gee! Van Kleiss has a dungeon. What a surprise. : '''Biowulf:''' This is no joke. They might die because I came down here to save you. : '''Rex:''' I won't let them get taken. I promise you that. But I need you to let me call the shots. : ''[Biowulf sighs]'' : '''Biowulf:''' Very well. : '''Rex:''' Circ, dungeon left or right? : '''Circe:''' Left. The dungeon's the other way. : '''Rex:''' I'm not looking for the dungeon. I'm looking for the scouts. : '''Black Pawn:''' Nothing. : '''Rex:''' Well, maybe a little something. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' Scouts. Classic Providence tactics-- So they don't get ambushed. Uhh. What is this place? : '''Biowulf:''' The old reservoir. It goes to the river. : '''Rex:''' Perfect. ''[deep voice]'' Scout to command. West wing, reservoir-- We've found a back way onto what must be the main EVO force. It's five times the size of what you're fighting. : '''Black Pawn:''' Roger, scout. All forces, withdraw from dungeon siege. Report to west wing, reservoir. Ambush maneuver lambda. : '''Rex:''' ''[normal voice]'' Get your troops. It's bath time. : '''Biowulf:''' Now you bow to Rex! : '''Rex:''' The Providence goons are contained, Biowulf. They shouldn't be any more trouble. And I got the Master-Control Nanite. Looks like mission accomplished. : '''Circe:''' Rex, I-- : ''[She and Rex cling to each other as the castle begins shaking.]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Rex, order your friends to surrender. You're all under Providence custody. I always knew it might be impossible to capture the Master-Control Nanite in the heart of the nanite infestation. So the solution was to remove it. : '''Circe:''' It's Hong Kong all over again. : '''Rex:''' No. We can fight. We'll double back and-- A-and then-- : '''Biowulf:''' Go! Get the nanite out of here! : '''Rex:''' No! I promised you! : '''Biowulf:''' You were right. That nanite is more important than anyone here. Including myself. I am the leader. I give the orders. Run! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Rex:''' They were counting on me. I don't want to leave them. : '''Circe:''' I did what I had to do. You do what you have to. I want you to know, all this was never about me just using you. : ''[Circe gasps]'' : ''[Finally admits her true romantic feelings for Rex in the form of a passionate kiss.

But when the stakes are this high, who can we trust? What would that power do to anyone who had it? They attacked Abysus. What's stopping them from attacking us for these nanites? : '''White Knight:''' They will-- Sooner or later. That's why I want to turn the tables on them first. : '''Rex:''' You know how to do that so we survive in one piece? : '''White Knight:''' Not yet. ===Remote Control=== : '''Bobo:''' Providence goons are thick as fleas tonight, and I know fleas. : '''Rex:''' We're gonna be late if we have to keep sneaking around. : '''Bobo:''' After you. : '''Skwydd:''' Rex must have bailed on us-- Again. : '''Cricket:''' He would never do that, Skwydd. And besides, he dad to fly all the way to Honk Kong on his own. Give him some time. : '''Tuck:''' He's here! Everything okay, Rex? : ''[Skwydd hissing]'' : '''Skwydd:''' Cricket, Tuck, this way! : ''[Skwydd grunts]'' : '''Skwydd:''' Ow. Yeah, I think I'll stick to ink. : '''Cricket:''' We need to find Rex. : '''Skwydd:''' He was supposed to find us. : '''Tuck:''' How are we gonna-- : '''Quarry:''' Wrong. They'll be coming with me.

Mm. : '''Rex:''' Ew!

Quarry? : '''Cricket:''' If you think we're going to thank you for getting us out of there, Quarry. : ''[Quarry laughs]'' : '''Quarry:''' I think you're going to do exactly as I say. : ''[Activates the mind-control collar on her neck]'' : '''Cricket:''' Aah! : '''Bobo:''' Occupied Hong Kong-- What a dump!

Let me show you around. : '''Quarry:''' What do you matter, the big fish? Time to reel him in. : '''Huckster:''' This is all state-of-the-art stuff-- Exciting, new tech. You get to play as an EVO and go on a Crown Street. How cool is that? : '''Rex:''' Hey! That looks like the EVO that jumped me. : '''Huckster:''' We model our characters from actual EVOs. This is as close to reality as you can get. : '''Rex:''' Hey! You guys! Oh, am I glad to see you! I-- Take that back. You've been collared! Let me help you! : ''[Skwydd hissing]'' : '''Rex:''' Cricket, it's me-- Rex! You used to have a crush on me! : '''Cricket:''' Ugh! : ''[Cricket sighs]'' : '''Cricket:''' Rex, I'm so sorry. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't control it. : '''Rex:''' I'm okay, Cricket. You've been working on that jab, though, haven't you? : '''Cricket:''' They're getting away. : '''Rex:''' Let them go. They'll lead us straight to Quarry. : '''Cricket:''' "Used to have a crush"? : '''Rex:''' Infrared. Nice move. Providence Convoy. Great. : '''Cricket:''' Whoa! Aah! Ugh! Aah! : '''Rex:''' Come on, Cricket. We do this all the time. Uh, hair. Please. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, give me some more of these deep-fried shrimp heads and a bunch of those fresh spring rolls. Hey, give me the stale spring rolls while you're at it. : '''Female vendor:''' No more food! You have to go! : '''Cricket:''' I recognize this place. It's where Quarry took us after we were collared. It's probably a setup. : '''Rex:''' It's definitely a setup. You ready to go in? : '''Cricket:''' You know how collared EVOs follow kind of like a robot. with these collars, it's worse. It's like you're a remote-controlled robot. : '''Rex:''' That is a nasty hack. : '''Cricket:''' It's bad enough working for Quarry. When you have free will but this-- : '''Rex:''' Skwydd! Tuck! I don't wanna hurt you. : '''Quarry:''' Glad to hear that, Rex. Your friends are very valuable to me as are you. : '''Rex:''' Like the new look- strapping. : '''Quarry:''' Let's just say I had to find a way to "keep it together" after my visit to Abyus. Just one more thing you owe me for and you know how much I like a balanced book. : '''Cricket:''' Rex! No! : '''Quarry:''' You'll be the crown jewel of my EVO army, Rex. I may just make you my own personal slave. That collar suits you, Rex. Wish I'd had one for you back in the old days-- Would've saved me a lot of trouble. : '''Cricket:''' Rex! : '''Quarry:''' Oh, right. Cricket. Rex, be a good little helper and hold her down, would you? : ''[Cricket gasps]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Quarry:''' Rex? Rex! I command you to stop! : '''Rex:''' I quit listening to you a long time ago. : '''Skwydd:''' Rex, I'm sorry. : '''Rex:''' Never mind, Skwydd. Help me with Tuck. Aah! Oh, man! These nanites are smarter than usual. : '''Cricket:''' Hurry, Rex! : '''Rex:''' Whew! Don't think I'll be doing that again soon. : '''Tuck:''' Thanks, man. Those all kinds of weird. : '''Quarry:''' I've decided that you brats are not that valuable to me. Kill them all! : '''Rex:''' We'll see. : '''Tuck:''' Spinning donkey? Since when do street EVOs know Kung Fu? : '''Rex:''' I know, right? How are you doing this? How are you controlling these guys. : '''Quarry:''' I'm not would take an army of operators to control this many EVOs. I merely provide the funding and equipment. The streets provide the manpower-- Or should I say-- : ''[Quarry chuckles]'' : '''Quarry:''' Bratpower? And I paid top dollar for good players. At least by their sad standards. : '''Rex:''' The arcade. All those kids! : '''Quarry:''' Those brats were born to play games, which is what they think they're doing. And I thank your people for the tech. That brother of yours is quite the wiz, kid. : '''Rex:''' Caesar would never! : '''Cricket:''' Forget about Caesar, Rex. You know what you've got to do. : '''Rex:''' These guys will shred you if I leave! : '''Tuck:''' We got this, Rex. Go! : '''Quarry:''' Once I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pop your head like a grape! : '''Bobo:''' Oh, I am one stuffed monkey. Ooh, this might just be the year I floss. Hey! I know that noise. That's Rex. I'm coming, champ! : ''[Bobo groans]'' : '''Bobo:''' Ooh, I better take it easy, or I'm gonna deliver a street pizza. : ''[Bobo groans]'' : '''Female vendor:''' Next time, you're on the menu! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Unh! : '''Quarry:''' You were a good earner once, Rex. But lately, you've been costing me too much. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! : '''Quarry:''' Now... you... pay! : '''Cricket:''' No tongues! : ''[Rex groaning]'' : '''Rex:''' Hyah! : ''[Quarry laughs evilly]'' : '''Quarry:''' Consider the fact that you made me like this while I'm crushing you. : ''[Quarry grunting]'' : '''Quarry:''' What? : ''[Quarry straining]'' : '''Quarry:''' No! Unh! No! AAAAAH! : '''Rex:''' Bad move, Quarry. Now, where's the "off" switch? Bingo. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' Okay. : '''Tuck:''' Uh, what just happened? : '''Cricket:''' Rex happened. : '''Gamer boy:''' No way. We were actually fighting real people? I'm outta here. : '''Tuck:''' Nice move, Rex. I guess Quarry eats it again. : '''Cricket:''' Where is Quarry, Rex? : '''Rex:''' He bit off more than he could chew. Speaking of which, I'm starved. Who wants to grab a bite? : '''Bobo:''' Ohh. Hey, Rex, when are we gonna see some action? : '''Rex:''' I, uh, kind of took the initiative while you were chilling out. Wanna get some dim sum? : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Bobo:''' Uh, no, thanks. I've had all I can eat. : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Rex:''' Can we use your coupon? : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Skwydd:''' You seriously thought you were gonna blow us off? : '''Tuck:''' Not "we." "You." : '''Rex:''' I came as soon as I could-- Honest. : '''Cricket:''' You mean you didn't make a detour to Tokyo to buy anime? : '''Rex:''' Okay, almost as soon. But it all turned out fine. And the most important thing is, we put a stop to that tech before there was enough of it to start a real army. : '''Tuck:''' You can say that again. : '''Skwydd:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Yeah. : '''Rex:''' Now, hurry up and eat this before my chimp finds us. Mmm! : '''Build worker:''' Okay, guys. That's the last of them. Provindence needs these machines on the next cargo ship. Let's move! ===A Brief History of Time=== : '''Van Kleiss:''' 4.000 years from my destination, and I've run out of of time. I've scarcely completed the vessel which shall deliver me to my own era. Gharun-Set, activate the traps-- Quickly! My greatest creation-- So useful to me, but too dangerous to roam free. If only I had time to destroy him, as I should. But I have a more pressing death I must prevent. My own. AAAAAAAAAAAH! : '''Rex:''' Kind of defeating the whole stealth element of a stealth suit, Bobo. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, now was I supposed to know that ghanoush went bad? : '''Rex:''' Maybe because you found it in a garbage can. : '''Bobo:''' On top of a garbage can. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to Rex. Are you at the site? : '''Rex:''' There is not site, remember? Black Knight blew the pace to kingdom come. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Yet it's still guarded. And thanks to the data you stole from Providence, we know why. : '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss back in time? I still find it hard to believe. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You were sent six months into the future, Rex. It stands to reason that the reverse is possible. : '''Rex:''' Well, if you expect to find him here, maybe we should check the mummy museum. We're sensing nanites-- Definitely V.K.'s. They've been dead a long time. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over 4,000 years. I'm also detecting tachyons-- Quantum particles that travel in time. I think it's clear what he was making. : '''Bobo:''' A latrine? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' A time machine. : '''Rex:''' No way he pulled it off! If mister ego made it back to here and now, we'd know about it. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Some of these nanites are considerably younger. That means he was there in two different time periods. : '''Rex:''' Time travel gives me a headache. Just tell me-- Where is he now? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The more accurate question is, when is he? : '''Van Kleiss:''' AAAAAAH! : ''[Van Kleiss gasping]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! The ordeal is... draining. But now, back in my own time, I can replenish my nanite reserves and-- : '''Gladiator #1:''' Quis es tu? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I recognize the language, of course-- Classical latin. Qui-- Q-Qui annus est? : '''Gladiator #1:''' What year is it? You dare question a captain of the imperial guard? Aegyptus is a roman Providence! Answer! Who are you? : '''Gladiator #2:''' Don't bother-- He's clearly sun-mad. : '''Van Kleiss:''' The dialect, the dress-- This is the second century A.D. A mere 2,000 years has passed. I'm only halfway home! : '''Gladiator #1:''' Another escaped slave. Finish him and be done with it. : ''[Gladiator #2 grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' It was all the fight I could muster. I had no way to replace the nanites I'd spent in the journey, and my gauntlet had yet to recharge those that remained. : '''Gladiator #2:''' This one shows spirit. He'll bring a good price in the arena. : '''Van Kleiss:''' OOMPH! : ''[Van Kleiss groans]'' : '''Gladiator #2:''' Save your strength. : '''Gladiator #3:''' Where you're going, you'll need it. : ''[Van Kleiss slurps]'' : ''[Van Kleiss gulps]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' I intend to. Of the mysterious force, there is no sign. Yet I sense it is close-- Pursuing me even across the centuries. I am convinced it is a manifestation of time itself. My presence is a violation of physics-- An imbalance which the time stream seeks to correct... By wiping me from existence. But of this, I am certain-- If I do not return to my own time, it will surely destroy me. : '''Gladiator #1:''' You are fortunate, slave. To die in the arena is a great honor. : '''Van Kleiss:''' An honor I look forward to bestowing. : ''[Gladiator #1 laughs]'' : '''Gladiator #1:''' You see? Spirit! : ''[Van Kleiss groans]'' : '''Gladiator #3:''' Put on a good show, little man, and I promise to make your end a painless one. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Indeed? : ''[Gladiator #3 grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' I, on the other hand, make no such promise. : ''[Gladiator #3 grunting]'' : ''[Van Kleiss grunting]'' : '''Gladiator #3:''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! : ''[Gladiator #3 groans]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' One against so many? Hardly seems fair. For them. : '''Gladiator #4:''' ARRRGHHHH! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ordinarily, I'd say "take me to your leader," but I believe he's already here. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Great warrior... Never have I seen such a battle. I am... : '''Van Kleiss:''' Septimius Severus, 21st emperor of Rome, founder of the severan dynasty. And, as I recall, you poisoned your own commanding officer to get his position... And wear only boots to conceal a prodigious clubfoot. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Are you a man... Or a God? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I find both labels rather limiting. Now, then, you are going to give me whatever I require, starting with a quiet place to work. I, in return, shall ensure the growth and security of your reign as emperor. You may call me Van Kleiss. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Whatever your desire, great Vanklios. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, it's... Got a rather nice ring. : '''Rex:''' What's with this guy? Gets a portrait done in every time period? : '''Bobo:''' Mm. ''[muffled]'' Truly a nutjob for the ages. Mm. Speaking of nuts... Want some? : '''Rex:''' You've been dumpster-diving again? : '''Bobo:''' I prefer "foraging." : '''Rex:''' Yeah. Nice sleuthing there, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Nanites decay at a measurable half-life. I set our sat-net to do a global scan for the same frequency-- Ergo, Rome. : '''Rex:''' Great. You scan for the next stop, we'll grab a pizza. : '''Bobo:''' Pass. I'm experiencing inexpicable gastric distress. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it would take months to scan the entire spectrum. You need to find the next decay frequency. : '''Rex:''' Kind of like nanite connect-the-dots! Can I do it with someone else? : '''Bobo:''' Hey, quiet, you! Rah! : '''Rex:''' This goose chase just got a little wilder. My brother's here. : '''Caesar:''' Caesar to Black. We've detected paleo-nanites. Tachyon readings negative. We're moving to the next hot stop. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons-- They want Van Kleiss' time machine. Follow them. : '''Rex:''' Come on. : '''Bobo:''' Can you give me a teeny sec? I gotta find the little gladiators' room. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Advances in the last two millenia have allowed me to complete my lab in weeks instead of months. Restrict the flow! Do you want to overload the power cells? Meanwhile, my own nanite supply continues to dwindle. : ''[Septimius Severus panting]'' : '''Septimius Severus:''' Great Vanklios, protect me! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I've divulged metallurgy and tactics beyond your day. No man may threaten your rule. : '''Septimius Severus:''' This is no man-- But an apparition! : ''[Septimius Severus grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' What apparition? Speak, parasite! : '''Septimius Severus:''' A spirit of doom! Numerous sightings-- The insulare, the rostra, the forum. Listen! It comes! It comes! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Fool. It only wants me. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Ugh! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I release you. Go start a few legends. : '''Septimius Severus:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOO! : ''[Septimius Severus gasps]'' : '''Septimius Severus:''' Be gone! I beg of you! Aah! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, those stress lines-- It's the same pattern we saw in Egypt. : '''Black Knight:''' Report. : '''Caesar:''' These aqueducts are truly marvels of roman engineering. : '''Black Knight:''' Have you picked up the next decay frequency? : '''Caesar:''' Oh-- That. Yes. Uplinking to our global net. Odd. These tachyons seems unrelated to-- : '''Black Knight:''' We have the next target. Scandinavia. Move out. White Knight may have people on the trail. I expect you to do whatever it takes to procure the objective. : '''Rex:''' Shh! : '''Caesar:''' I've initiated the same steps as in Egypt! Come along. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need that decay frequency. : '''Rex:''' Just one small problem, doc. This place... is toast. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? Bobo? Respond! : '''Rex:''' We're okay, doc. Not a mark on us. : '''Bobo:''' Same can't be said for my stealth suit. Whoa! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : ''[Rex and Bobo gasps]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' So many lives... It's become a blur. I don't know who I am anymore. Only that I must sail onward, ever onwoard down the river of time. Never resting, always moving. Further draining my nanite reserves beyond my ability to replenish. And each re-emergence, I am pursued by the nameless force. I now know it's personal. I am a virus-- An infection of space-time. Call it what you like. This is time's antibody. Whether I can borne home or drowned in its currents, this is my final journey. : '''Rex:''' Hurry! I'm not sure if we here followed. : '''Bobo:''' I'm sure. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Don't shoot! It's me. : '''Rex:''' Holiday? Shouldn't you be at the plant, connecting the dots? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' No more dots to connect. The trail ends here. And... I'm reading a humanoid form inside. : '''Rex:''' I'm confused. Is it a time machine or isn't it? : '''Caesar:''' It's not a time machine. Are those really necessary? : '''Rex:''' No way you're getting this time machine, bro! : '''Caesar:''' I don't want it. And it's not a time machine. : '''Bobo:''' Well, then, what is it? A meat locker for cold cuts? : '''Caesar:''' Surprisingly close. We use this technique to transfer unstable nanites. It puts them into a state of dormancy. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Of course. It's a hibernation chamber. : '''Caesar:''' Only his nanites were dormant. There would still be neuron flow. : '''Rex:''' Mind telling me what that means, exactly? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' He was... Aware. The whole time, for hundreds of years. : '''Caesar:''' He would have felt every minute pass. : '''Rex:''' No way! He's totally a mummy! : '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Run! It's coming! It's coming?! : '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah! : '''Rex:''' Easy, easy, Van Kleiss. You're back-- Back in your own time. : '''Van Kleiss:''' No! No, it'll find me! It always does! You must protect me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyon readings off the chart! Rex, you can't affect that thing. I don't know what can. : '''Caesar:''' It's a field of pure tachyons. I've got to get a sample. : '''Rex:''' Oh, no, you don't! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I'm back! Back in my own time! You shall not have me?! OHHHH! : '''Bobo:''' Settle down, Van Winkle. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex shudders]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh, no. It couldn't be. I need some way to contain it! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons can't be contained! : '''Caesar:''' Yes, they can. Rex! : ''[Caesar grunts]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it's too risky! : '''Rex:''' But I know what this is. Correction-- I know who this is. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! : ''[Rex groaning]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's... Breach. : '''Rex:''' Breach. Breach! It's me-- Rex. : '''Breach:''' Rex? Are you real... Or a dream? : ''[Rex laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' Yeah, yeah, I'm-- I'm real. : '''Breach:''' I was everywhere-- Everywhen. But I was nothing-- An emptiness, needing to be filled. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The amp pack. Van Kleiss controlled it. When his nanites were active, Breach was drawn into his timeframe. : ''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' : '''Caesar:''' The final joining would have destroyed them both. : '''Breach:''' Guess I should say thanks. : '''Rex:''' Hey, what are friends for? Um, we are still friends... Right? : '''Caesar:''' You did well, little bro. : '''Rex:''' And you have your time machine that... isn't a time machine. Everybody goes home happy. : '''Caesar:''' That? A curiosity-- True. But it was never our goal. : ''[Van Kleiss shivering]'' : ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' : '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss?! All this for him? what, they're gonna put him in jail? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's Providence, Rex. That's their jurisdiction. : '''Caesar:''' No need to worry, little brother. He's going to be well supervised. : '''Rex:''' Caesar, what is going on!? : '''Caesar:''' Justice. : '''Bobo:''' Two words-- Crème Brûlée. Ooh. Right after I make a french connection. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Welcome back, Van Kleiss. You look terrible. Ordinarily, I'd say get some rest, but you've had enough of that, I suppose. : ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Pull it together. We have work to do. Do you know who I am? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I know who you are. It's been a long time. A very, very long time. ===Mind Games=== : '''Rex''': Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure of that. : '''Six''': I told you not to get involved, Rex. You're not at full strength. : '''Rex''': What was I supposed to do-- Just leave it? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Six has a point, Rex. You're pushed to the edge lately. You can't see everyone. : '''Rex''': Not listening! Don't worry, dude. I'll have you out of here before you can say-- Circe?! : '''Circe''': Hey, Rex. Rex! Aaaah! : ''[Circe sighs]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex! Rex, do you read? What's going on? Your bios are low. : '''Rex''': Leave her alone! You okay? : '''Circe''': I think so. We have to go. : '''Rex''': Think that's your cue. Hang on. I think I got it. Ow! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': Hate this things. : '''Circe''': Try wearing one. : '''Rex''': I have. So, what happened? I thought Providence had you at Abysus. : '''Circe''': I got away. : '''Rex''': What about the Pack? : '''Circe''': The Pack? I-- Don't know. Things are bad out there, Rex. I've been on the run for weeks. Providence has been stepping up their capture orders. I think something big is going down. : '''Rex''': Tell me about it. Listen, I know we're gonna want to say no, but with everything that's going on... : '''Circe''': I should stay at the plant. It's safer, right? : '''Rex''': Wow, that was-- Easy. I had a whole speech and everything. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Well, everything checks out. You're the picture of health. I wish you'd let me do some more thorough scans, through. : '''Six''': How was it you said you got away? : '''Circe''': It's a long story. You guys have bigger things to worry about than me... like the Meta-Nanites. Did you get the one from Abysus? Have you found anymore? : '''Rex''': Ugh, who cares? Let's go do something fun. You want to put Bobo' hand in shaving cream? : ''[Circe yawns]'' : '''Circe''': Actually, Rex, I'm kind of tired. I thing I might just crash if that's cool. : '''Rex''': Oh... yeah. Stupid of me. You, uh, get some sleep. Hey, doc. What are you doing? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. I was just... working. What are you doing up? : '''Rex''': Ah, it's... stupid. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Yeah, probably. But... go ahead. : '''Rex''': I'm... excited. Since I got breached, everything's been so crazy. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Since you got breached? Right. : '''Rex''': But with Circe back, I'm starting to think maybe things will turn out okay. : '''White Knight''': I need everyone in the situation room in five minutes. : '''Rex''': So much for that. : ''[Dr. Holiday yawns]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': What'd I miss? : '''Rex''': Wow, Doc. You sure got comfy quick. : '''White Knight''': Listen up, people. We need to retrieve a valuable asset before it falls into enemy hands. : '''Six''': What's the objective? : '''White Knight''': This man... Dr. Peter Meechum. : '''Rex''': That guy? I remember him. Van crazy kiddnaped his daughter. : '''White Knight''': Meechum spent the last year at a safehouse facility... Codename: Pandora's Box... location know only to me. : '''Rex''': Why all the cloak and dagger? : '''White Knight''': Because Meechum was one of the original scientists on the Nanite Project. He was given a panic button in case of emergency. Thirty minutes ago-- He activated it. : '''Six''': Providence? : '''White Knight''': We have to assume they're trying to assemble the original members of the Nanite Project. What Meechum knows is too valuable to fall into the wrong hands, so go get him. : '''Six''': Maybe Circe should stay here. : '''Rex''': What? Why? : '''Six''': She's not on the team yet-- Not officialy. : '''White Knight''': Take her. She'll be useful in the field. : '''Rex''': Ahem. You guys forget you key? Did you check under the mat? : '''Six''': Rex, focus on the mission. Get to Meechum! : '''Rex''': Relax, Six. I could take these guys in my sleep, especially with help from... Huh? Circe? Uh... Time-out? : '''Six''': Peter Meechum, you need to come with us. : ''[Dr. Meechum scoffs]'' : '''Dr. Meechum''': Took you long enough. : '''Rex''': Time in. : '''White Knight''': Still no sign of Circe, Rex. We'll keep looking, but for right now, Meechum is our top priority. : '''Dr. Holiday''': We'll find her, Rex. Don't worry. : '''White Knight''': In the meantime, Dr. Meechum, I've checked, and your daughter is safe at her boarding school in England. : '''Dr. Meechum''': My daughter. Right. : '''White Knight''': We can make immediate arrangements to take you to her. : '''Dr. Meechum''': No, I'd rather stay with you if that's all right. It's, uh-- It's safer. : '''White Knight''': Of course. White Knight out. : '''Rex''': So, after that, Providence attacked Abysus to get the Master-Control Nanite. Guess you were next on their list. : '''Dr. Meechum''': I see. And all this happened in the last year? : '''Six''': You've missed a lot since you've been away, doctor. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Horrible. I could never work for a Providence like that. I have to say it's all very impressive. Providence has certainly done a lot in the last year. : '''Caesar''': And with your help, doctor, we can do more. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Where's White Knight? I should tell him I've arrived. : '''Black Knight''': I can answer that for you. It's good to have you back, doctor. : '''Dr. Meechum''': What happened to White? : '''Black Knight''': Just a routine change in command. Nothing to worry about. If you'll excuse me, gentlemen. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Tell me you have my money ready. : '''Black Knight''': You get away you want when I get what I want... Not before. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Relax. : '''Six''': I'm a professional, aren't I? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Six, see Meechum? I have some data I'd like to go over with him. Are you... okay? : '''Six''': Rebecca, I have something important to tell you. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Okay. Well... Thanks for tell me. : '''Six''': Rex, are you in here? I do not understand this show. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Am I interrupting? : '''Six''': Not at all. What can I do for you? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Nothing important. I just wanted to say... earlier... that was nice. Unexpected but nice. : '''Six''': Earlier? : '''Dr. Holiday''': In the lab? : '''Six''': I have no idea what you're talking about. : ''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]'' : '''Rex''': Six, I need to talk to you about Circe. Uh... Six? Earth to agent guy. You okay? : '''Six''': I'm fine. I've just decided not to waste any more time on you, Rex. : '''Rex''': Um... Is this because I accidentaly used your swords to slice a pizza? : '''Six''': It's because you're weak. You don't have what it takes to complete the mission. : '''Rex''': Ohh, I get it. This is one of your test, right? : '''Six''': No test. Just me coming to my senses. You're not strong enough to survive what's coming. In the end, you're gonna let us all down. : ''[Dr. Holiday crying]'' : '''Rex''': Doc? What's wrong? : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' I-It's nothing, Rex. I didn't want you to see me like this. : '''Rex''': Well, what is it? : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' It's Six. I'm afraid of him. : '''Rex''': What?! That's crazy talk. : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' Is it? You have to have seen it. He's violent, on edge. He's losing control. : '''Rex''': Are we talking about the same Six? : '''Dr. Holiday''': We don't even known him. He was a killer, Rex. The old Six might have changed, but how do we know this Six didn't come back... Wrong? : ''[Dr. Meechum whistling]'' : '''Dr. Meechum''': I have a question. How do you plan to re-create the project without a bio-interface expert? : '''Caesar''': Oh, but we do have one. : '''Van Kleiss''': No! The string doesn't work. Gordian knot, tied up tight. Alexander cheated. Can't cheat. Eyes on your own paper! Peter? No! Can't be! Different time, different me. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Van Kleiss? You brought back that monster? : '''Caesar''': Of course. He was the original interface programmer. Who better? : '''Dr. Meechum''': Excuse me a moment. White, what the heck is going on?! : '''White Knight''': Peter? Where are you? : '''Dr. Meechum''': I'm at Providence. Where are you? : '''White Knight''': Providence. But that's not-- I have to go. We have a problem. : '''Rex''': You're darn right we have a problem, because this isn't Peter Meechum! : ''[Dr. Meechum laughing maniacally]'' : '''Scarecrow''': Heya, Rex. Miss me? : '''Rex''': Who are you? Where's Meechum? : '''White Knight''': His name's John Scarecrow. He's an EVO, specialist in infiltration. Black Knight played us. : '''Scarecrow''': You really don't remember me, Rex? I'll give you a hint. We used to share a stomping ground. We had a problem with a shapes hifter once. : '''Rex''': You were in Hong Kong. : '''Scarecrow''': Give the man a prize. : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Six''': I think he went that way. : '''Rex''': Wait a minute. : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Rex''': I cannot believe I fell for that. : '''Scarecrow''': Look at you. You're ridiculous. You think he'll come to his senses, realize his true feelings? Then what? You'll settle down. White picket fence. Little agent kids. You're fooling yourself. You're the worst of them... you know that?... Because you know better. You really think you can save the world? None of you can survive what's coming! : '''Rex''': Prove it's really you. What's my favorite color? : '''Six''': I have no idea. : '''Rex''': It's you, all right. : ''[Dr. Holiday screaming]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': Put it away. I'm not the EVO. : '''Six''': We heard you scream. : '''Dr. Holiday''': That wasn't me. : '''Six''': Let's all calm down. We can figure this out. : '''Rex''': Why, Six? Because I'm weak? You don't think I can handle this? : '''Six''': I never said that. : '''Rex''': But you think it, right? I don't see you putting down your guns, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday''': I know it's not me. I'm not sure about you two. : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Scarecrow''': So easy. I barely had to nudge you. : '''Rex''': Whatever you're after, you're not getting away with it. : '''Scarecrow''': Get away with it?! Re-e-e-x, I got what I needed in the first five minutes. : '''Rex''': Then why? Why do all this? : '''Scarecrow''': Simple. I wanted to do to you what you did to me. : '''Rex''': I'm done with you! : ''[Scarecrow groans]'' : '''Scarecrow''': The big hero. Why do you get to forget? It's not fair! : '''Rex''': Whine, whine, whine. What... you didn't get enough crazy hugs as a kid? : '''Scarecrow''': You think I'm the only one you hurt? Then tell me-- : '''Skwydd''': What about us? Why'd you betray me? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Circe:''' You promised to protect me, Rex. Where were you? : '''Rex:''' Stop it! : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Rex breathing heavily]'' : '''Caesar''': Face it, bro. It's why I left you. Mom and dad, too. : ''[Rex grunting]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': You're your own worst enemy. : '''Dr. Holiday''': That's for Rex. That's for Providence. And that was for the kiss. : '''White Knight''': Providence won this round. No question. : '''Rex''': They have the real Meechum. Maybe more. : '''Dr. Holiday''': There's no telling how much of our system Scarecrow uploaded. : '''Six''': But we have to assume they know everything we do. : ''[Scarecrow laughs evilly]'' : '''White Knight''': Black Knight is coming for us. It's just a matter of time. : '''Dr. Holiday''': So? I mean, we knew that. Nothing's changed, right? : '''Six''': Rex, this is what they wanted-- To turn us against each other. : '''Rex''': Yeah, and look how easy it was. We thought we were a team, but we're not. We're vulnerable. : '''Van Kleiss''': It's Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Looking past Occam's Razor, we can clearly see to a quantum level. A quantum level is what I'm trying to achieve, because if I didn't do the quantum level, then I can understand what's happening. : '''Caesar''': I know you don't like this, but it's not about us. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Can you do it? Can you control him? : '''Caesar''': Leave Van Kleiss to me. : '''Dr. Meechum''': What about Black Knight? I don't like her, Salazar. Never did. : '''Caesar''': Trust me, Peter-- When we're finished, the end will justify the means. ===Hermanos=== :'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-OA! Unh! Ugh! :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Agent Six''': Be careful, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm touched by your concern, Six. :'''Agent Six''': It's not for you. We don't have Providence to pick up the tab anymore. You break it, you buy it. :''[Rex growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm saving the day here. What are they gonna do--Sue me? Oh, come on! It was a rhetorical question! What was I supposed to do? The whole building was made of glass! :'''Lawyer''': ''[Hispanic accent]'' Glass? What are you talking about? :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm... not talking about anything. What are you talking about? :'''Lawyer''': Mr. Salazar, I'm an associate at the stateside branch of the Argentinean firm Gomez and Gomez. And today, sir, is your lucky day! :'''Rex Salazar''': What's this? :'''Lawyer''': It's yours! :'''Noah Nixon''': No away! This is your house? :'''Rex Salazar''': I know! According to the lawyer guy, this rancho in Argentina's been in my family forever. And ever since my parents died in the event, those lawyers have been trying to track down the heir. And guess who that is. :'''Noah Nixon''': You and your brother? :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, yeah, right. Him too. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': Dude, it's never a good time, but you go to-- O...kay, so maybe this really isn't a good time, but this is important. I was being chased by a lawyer. No, I wasn't being sued this time. But you'll never guess what he-- :'''Caesar Salazar''': Is this about the rancho? :'''Rex Salazar''': You know about it? :'''Caesar Salazar''': Those lawyers have left me a dozen messages. :'''Rex Salazar''': And you didn't tell me? Caesar, I never even knew we had this place! There might be photo albums, home movies-- I don't know-- maybe even an old teddy bear or something. :'''Caesar Salazar''': You never had a teddy bear. :'''Rex Salazar''': See, the fact that you know that and I don't-- that's why we need to go down there. :'''Lawyer''': Clear! :'''Caesar Salazar''': I can't, Rex. My work's already been interrupted once today. Although... Now that you mention the ranch, it does bring back some memories. :'''Rex Salazar''': Really? Like what? :'''Caesar Salazar''': There was an experiment I remember mom and dad running. If you could find the notes, it might save some time on the work I'm doing now. :'''Rex Salazar''': Notes? Come on. Isn't family more important than-- Guess not. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Why can't I have a normal brother? Know anything about cows? Thanks for coming with me. This is really a family thing, but my brother is, well-- My brother. :'''Noah Nixon''': Are you kidding? I'm psyched! I've been killing myself trying to find a birthday present for Claire. A vacation at my best friend's awesome ancestral estate? What other guy could offer her that? :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, but then why bring Annie? :'''Annie''': Um, this just kind of broke off. :''[Annie, Claire and Noah screaming]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': AAAAAAH! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': I sure hope this isn't included in Six's "You break it, you buy it" policy. :'''Annie''': Sorry. :'''Rex Salazar''': No problem. We're here. :'''Claire Bowman''': Are... you sure this is the place? :'''Noah Nixon''': What happened to it? :'''Annie''': Hey, don't look at me. I just got there. :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Annie''': Okay, that was me. :'''Rex Salazar''': I guess this must be my... family. :'''Claire Bowman''': Looks like you-- But with a 'stache. :'''Annie''': I like you with a 'stache. :'''Claire Bowman''': Hey, there are chickens in here! :'''Annie''': And llamas! :'''Noah Nixon''': Chicken, llamas-- And a funny-looking bull. :''[Chiquito snorts]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': I-I-I take it back! You're not funny-looking! :'''Chiquito''': This place is Durango's! :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, actually-- :'''Chuquito''': No fancy talk! Just go! :'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Okay, number one, how is "actually" fancy talk! Number two, I don't know who Durango is, but this farm isn't his. And number three-- :''[Chiquito grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Ugh! All right, there's no misunderstanding the international language of getting punched in the face. So read my fist-- Get out of my house! :'''Chiquito''': Durango will not be happy! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, don't know who that guy was, but problem solved. :'''Noah Nixon''': Uh, you think? Aah! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Calmate, Chiquito. You are my brother. I would not do anything to hurt mi hermano. Unless you force me to. I cannot lose that tract of land. Without its right of way, I will lose my claim on the rest of the county. But never mind. They will learn-- When you mess with the bull, you get the horns. :'''Rex Salazar''': OHHH! Ugh! :'''Noah Nixon''': A chicken just tried to poop on my shoe! :'''Rex Salazar''': I think I can top you there. :'''Noah Nixon''': No offense, but when I asked Claire to come here, this wasn't what I was hoping for. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, me either. I mean, I was thinking I'd find-- I don't know what. But everything in this place has been smashed or stolen. Maybe this whole family thing isn't for me. :''[Noah gasps]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': That's the one! :'''Claire Bowman''': Please, Noah. It just needed a little help laying an egg. :'''Rex Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' What, did you grow up on a farm in Kansas? :'''Claire Bowman''': An apartment in Chicago-- Which is where I learned to download videos onto my phone. :'''Telephone Voice''': When caring for an egg bearing hen, remember to-- :'''Muchado''': Hola? Quien esta aquí? :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh... hello? :'''Muchado''': So, you are the Americans? I am Señor Muchado-- The juez. :'''Claire Bowman''': That's like a judge? :'''Muchado''': Sí. For all intents and purposes, I am the law in this county-- Which is why I have come here with him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Good, because I definitely want to press charges. :'''Muchado''': You misunderstand. I am here because of the trouble you caused for Chiquito. :'''Rex Salazar''': Chiquito? :''[Rex chuckles]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Your mom must have some sense of humor to name you "Tiny". :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Muchado''': Chiquito's brother is Señor Durango. He controls most of the land in this county, including this hacienda. At Señor Durango's request, I have prepared a legal order compelling you to vacate. :'''Claire Bowman''': But this is Rex's farm. :'''Annie''': Yeah, he's got a deed and everything. :'''Muchado''': This might have some bearing-- If you were a Salazar. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, we're in luck. I am. :'''Annie''': Maybe this will help. :'''Muchado''': You may be a Salazar, but by our law, this land has been deemed abandoned, and Señor Durango has claimed it. :'''Rex Salazar''': Sorry. Been sort of busy saving the world and stuff. But I'm here now, so consider his claim unclaimed, then reclaimed by me. :'''Muchado''': It is not so simple. You would have to demonstrate you are actively maintaining the ranch. That means shearing and feeding the animals, bringing your bulls to market-- :'''Rex Salazar''': To market? What, like a... cattle drive? :'''Claire Bowman''': No problem. We can totally figure out how to do that. :'''Muchado''': A ranch this size requires at least a dozen hired men. :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, just... uh... :'''Muchado''': No one within 100 kilometers will help you cross Señor Durango. If you do this, you will do it alone. And you will fail. :'''Claire Bowman''': Well, that guy was kind of a jerk. :'''Annie''': Yeah. So, let's get to work. :'''Noah Nixon''': How? Everything here is broken. :'''Annie''': Uh, have you seen my house? :'''Rex Salazar''': You guys don't have to do this. :'''Claire Bowman''': What kind of friend would walk away now? :'''Noah Nixon''': Uh... yeah! No way you could stop me from helping take care of these totally not-gross animals. :'''Rex Salazar''': Really? :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, I'm smiling like that's what I mean, aren't? :''[Noah exhales deeply]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': I can do this! I can't do this. Until I've done my milking warm-up. :'''Claire Bowman''': Ugh. Hold this. :'''Telephone Voice''': With you head resting on her flank, gently grasp the udder with the palm of your hand. :'''Noah Nixon''': AAH! :''[Claire giggles]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': I think she likes you. :'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': This is your home. Get in your home! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Whoa! AAAH! AAH! Ugh! This is hopeless! This farm only has one bull, and I can't even get it into the barn. And this... better just be mud. :'''Annie''': Hang on! I'll help you! :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': No! Don't! :'''Noah Nixon''': Are you guys okay? :'''Claire Bowman''': What is it? A storm cellar? :'''Noah Nixon''': Looks like some kind of lab. :'''Rex Salazar''': Figures. My mom and dad were Caesar's parents, too. Of course they'd find a way to take work home with them. Probably where those notes Caesar wanted are. Might as well grab them before the judge kicks us out. :'''Claire Bowman''': What's he talking about? I think we're doing a pretty good job taking care of the-- :'''Annie''': Uh, guys-- :''[Claire grunts]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': Wait-- Donkeys eat hay, don't they? Maybe we can use it to lure them back into the barn. :'''Annie''': I got it! Ugh! :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, on the plus side, at least we now know for sure that donkeys do eat hay. :'''Rafael Salazar''': One day, these things are going to change the world, and you'll be there to see it. :'''Violetta Salazar''': ''[chuckling]'' Caesar, please, mi hijo. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera. :'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay! Okay! :''[Claire sniffs]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': What's that smell? :'''Noah Nixon''': Which one? Everything here smells. :'''Claire Bowman''': No, it smells like... smoke! :'''Annie''': Rex! The straw caught on fire, and it exploded! :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Chiquito''': Hermano! No! Oomph! :'''Senior Durango''': What were you thinking? I told you to smoke them out, not burn the land! This is my land! If you weren't my brother-- :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Senior Durango''': But you are. Come here. :'''Rex Salazar''': So, you must be the brother. Hope I'm not interrupting some kind of weird tender moment. :'''Senior Durango''': Soy Durango. And I hope there is still a chance we can reach a resonable agreement. :'''Claire Bowman''': So, then you'll let Rex keep the farm? We played by the rules. :'''Senior Durango''': Around here, I make the rules. :'''Annie''': But the judge said-- :'''Senior Durango''': The judge works for me. Now, please, I'm giving you one last chance to leave. :'''Noah Nixon''': Okay, sure! Oh, wait-- That's right. Your fire blew up what was left of our plane! :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh, let me handle the trash-talking with the 20-foot-tall monster EVO, okay? Leave them out of this! They shouldn't even be here! It should have been my brother! :'''Senior Durango''': That is why you will lose your farm. Without family, a man is nothing. After all, what is this land to them? :'''Rex Salazar''': I don't even know what this place is to me. I came here hoping to find out more about who my family is. :''[Rex start looking at Noah, Claire and Annie, and smile to them]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': And I did. So, you're going to stop threatening them-- And me-- And get off my land. :''[Durango snarls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay. Here's the plan-- Stay behind me! Whoa! Ugh! :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, there goes that plan. :'''Senior Durango''': Hurt them. You can do that, can't you? :'''Claire Bowman''': W-what do we do now?! :'''Annie''': The only one of us with powers just got kicked to the curb. :'''Noah Nixon''': That depends on what you mean by "powers". :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex muffled grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Not a good time, Caesar. :'''Caesar Salazar''': I just wanted to tell you-- Forget about those notes. I realized that's not what's important about you going down there. :''[Durango snarls]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Wow, Caesar. I can't believe you came around. :'''Caesar Salazar''': I just realized-- The really important thing is, if you happen to find a termo-chronometer I remember having down there, it would save me from ordering one. :''[Chiquito snarls]'' :''[Chiquito growls]'' :''[Chiquito snarls, roars]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh! :''[Chiquito snorts]'' <hr width80%> :[''On videotape of the Salazar family]'' :'''Rafael Salazar''': One day these things are going to change the world and you'll be there to see it. :'''Violetta Salazar''': Cesar, please miquito. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera. :'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay, okay. <hr width80%> :'''Noah Nixon''': This morning, I almost had to touch a cow's underparts. You think you can do me worse than that? Bring it. :''[Chiquito snarls]'' :''[Chiquito roars]'' :'''Annie''': Ugh! I didn't mean for that to happen. :'''Claire Bowman''': We did. :'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ugh! AAAAAAAAAAARGH! :'''Senior Durango''': OOMPH! :''[Durango lows]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-O-O-O O-OA! :''[Durango lows]'' :''[Durango snorts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAH! :''[Durango growls]'' :''[Durango growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Trust me-- My brother's let me down way worse. But what am I gonna do? He's my brother. :'''Senior Durango''': It is over. :'''Rex Salazar''': Nice ego there, but I've been hit a lot harder. :''[Durango spits]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Those bells signal the market is ending soon. I can see you have yet to herd you cattle there. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, come on! The one cattle I've got doesn't even move! :'''Senior Durango''': If you do not have your cattle to market before it ends, you will have failed to fulfill your deed, and this land will be mine. :'''Rex Salazar''': Then I guess I don't have any time to waste talking about it. :'''Claire Bowman''': Come on. Come here. :'''Rex Salazar''': Forget it. I got this. :'''Claire Bowman''': WHOO-HOO! Yes! Go, Rex! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': Where's Durango? :'''Rex Salazar''': OWW! Come on! You don't move the whole time, and you can't stay still? :''[Durango grunting]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': What is this, a western? You're actually trying to stop him with a rockslide? :'''Senior Durango''': You? Here? How is that even possible? :'''Telephone Voice''': Donkeys can be ridden surprinsingly fast if you-- :'''Noah Nixon''': Come on! Just give up! The farm belong to Rex. And I really want to get off this thing. :'''Senior Durango''': You think I'm afraid of you ''[scoffs]'' boy? :'''Claire Bowman''': Oh, it's not the boy you should be afraid of. :'''Annie''': Oops. :''[Durango grunting]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Ugh! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': We sheared the llamas, we milked the cows, I got the bull to town. We did everything in the deed. :'''Muchado''': Sí, sí. But more important, you faced Durango and won! Once the other ranchers hear of this, they won't be afraid. You have broken Durango's hold on our lands. :'''Rex Salazar''': Wait-- You're... happy about that? :'''Muchado''': Of course. I told you exactly what you had to do to legally gain control of the land, didn't I? :'''Rex Salazar''': Huh. I guess you did. :'''Claire Bowman''': Wow! Can you believe how you perfect this all worked out? :'''Noah Nixon''': Yeah, uh, so, maybe we should get out of here before we wear out our welcome. :'''Rex Salazar''': There's just one thing I want to do first. ===The Rescue=== :''Note'': Rex goes alone to rescue his girlfriend Circe from the clutches of Black Knight. but it turns out she has been waiting for him. <hr width80%> ===Alone Together=== :''Note'': Finally together at last, Rex and Circe reminiscence about their good and hard times together ans their romance begins to grow. ===Retribution=== ===Temporary Insanity=== ===Crime and Punishment=== :''Note:'' His false insanity revealed, Van Kleiss abducts Circe with the intent of punishing her for betraying him, due to her enduring love for Rex. <hr width80%> :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, Circe, you shall learn the ultimate price of betraying me. :'''Rex:''' ''Leave her alone!!'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, Rex.

What did you say? :'''Rex:''' Yes! :'''Sly:''' Good man! ''[singing]'' You see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", kill your radio, you live a life for all to see, sometimes it's right, sometimes obscene, now you're the enemy, it's one for all and all for me, unlocking doors and misery, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, it isn't all, that it's cracked up to be, I never thought it'd be so easy, I wouldn't have it any other way, you see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah". :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Sly:''' At least we got a day off before the next gig. :'''JoJo:''' Guys, a club owner in fleeceburg just offered us amazing money. I booked it. :'''Rex:''' For when? :'''JoJo:''' We're already running late. :'''Sly:''' They're paying money for us to play in this dump? :'''JoJo:''' Big money. Come on. You're on in ten minutes. :'''Rex:''' I'm guessing ticket sales are a little slow. :'''Leon:''' Are we breaking up? :'''Beau:''' This dive seems awfully familiar. :'''Sebastian:''' It should. :'''Rex:''' That voice seems awfully familiar! :'''Teens:''' Dude! Nobody move! What's going on? Who's touching me? What is this? Excuse me. What is going on? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' I built an exact replica of the first club you played in. :'''Beau:''' Hey, that's one of my puke stains. Fruitcake knows his details. :'''Rex:''' But I cured you. :'''Sebastian:''' Hmm... That was a copy, not the original. :'''Sly:''' Whatever. When's this gonna end, fan-boy? :'''Sebastian:''' It ends tonight. Check the floor at your feet. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' I've given up trying to get you back to your roots. So now you'll play what I want to hear for the next hour. And then your career ends with a bang. :'''Sly:''' On behalf of the band, I'd like to thank our manager, JoJo, for booking this totally insane gig! :''[JoJo laughs nervously]'' :'''Sebastian:''' The sound of cold, hard cash is the only music sellouts like you listen to anymore. :'''Rex:''' They're not sellouts. They just got more popular than you wanted. :'''Sebastian:''' You try anything, and I'll end their last gig prematurely. You're only alive because I want you to see what the Trendbenders used to be like. For the next hour give me the early stuff, when you were cool. :'''Sly:''' Why bother? You're gonna nuke us, anyway. :'''Sebastian:''' Because if you don't play, this happens! :'''Sly:''' Aah! :'''Leon, Sly and Beau:''' No more! :'''Sly:''' Okay, dude, what's the first number? :'''Sebastian:''' "Crawling undertow"! :'''Sly:''' Well, how does it feel? :'''Sebastian:''' First album, seventh song. Fifth song on the Japanese import. :'''Sly:''' To get that weight back on our shoulders-- :'''Sebastian:''' You're giving it a beat that wasn't in the original, man! Not even in the remix from the box set. Play it right this time! I'm missing the concert because of you! :'''Rex:''' Stinks to be you. Got to cure the real Sebastian. But which one is the mother ship? :'''Sebastian:''' You can't even play your old songs like you used to. Total disappointment. Let's end this bummer concert. :'''Sly:''' But we still have over a half-hour left! :'''Sebastian:''' Last song, no encore. :'''Rex:''' Tell me who's the original, or I'll turn you into dessert topping! :'''Sebastian:''' You don't scare me. I don't feel pain. :'''Rex:''' But the real Sebastian does. Sly! Maximum feedback! Now! Thanks, Doc. :'''Sebastian''': AAAHHHH! :'''Rex:''' How do you like their new hit, Sebastian Prime? Here's another new groove you're not going to like. :'''Sebastian:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' Congrats. You're back to being a solo act. :'''Sebastian:''' You've got to listen to me! :''[Sebastian yelling]'' :'''Rex:''' Kidnapping, assault and battery, construction without a permit-- that should keep him away for years. :'''JoJo:''' Have to say it, guys, but we've got a gig in toledo to get to. Security? :'''Rex:''' Not anymore. Sebastian's done, and so am I. :'''Sly:''' Dude, I thought you wanted the rock'n'roll lifestyle. :'''Rex:''' I'm not tough enough for it. I need to get back to something easier, like city-smashing EVOs and conspiracies to take over the world. :'''Beau:''' Don't know what your missing. :'''Rex:''' I think do. But I don't miss this. Yes, doc? Don't need my earplugs anymore. I quit. Will you let me tell you? No, the EVO threat wasn't just an excuse. Well, I'm coming back! Will you let-- Doc! ===Lost and Found=== ===My Brother's Keeper=== ===Target: the Consortium=== : '''Jungle Cat:''' You are...? : '''Rex:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. What are you? : '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found. : '''Rex:''' HUNH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! : ''[Rex gasps deeply]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa. That was a total zero on the fun meter. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Learning how to communicate with the nanite world isn't about fun. Did you get anywhere at all? : '''Rex:''' Don't know. I connected with a Master Control Nanite for a second, and then I lost it. But I also got, like, this feeling that something's about to happen in the nanite world. Something... big. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Argh! This is Rylander's speciality, not mine. There's no way I can cover for him. : '''Caesar:''' Not to worry, Dr. Meechum. You won't have to any longer. Dr. Rylander will take over from here. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Oh, really, Caesar? From his current location of beyond the grave? : '''Rylander:''' Actually, Peter, I was never completely dead-- just spread a little thin-- ''[chuckling]'' Moleculary speaking. Caesar's been working on putting me back together. : '''Black Knight:''' All of them together-- At last. Contact the Consortium. We now have something to show them. Something big. : '''White Knight:''' Even having two of the Master-Control Nanites doesn't change the vital importance of finding the other three. But the latest intel I've received could give us a way to neutralize the group obsessed with these machines. : '''Six:''' The Consortium. : '''Rex:''' Aren't those the money guys that bankrolled the Nanite Project in Providence? : '''White Knight:''' The same. Formerly made-up of six members, but now five-- Reddick, made his wealth in real estate and construction. Vostock, black market finance and KGB... Zanubian, arms dealing and shipping. Roswell, oil and minerals. Anthony Haden-Scott, worldwide media. : ''[Rex munches]'' : '''Rex:''' Should we be writing this down for the pop quiz later? : '''White Knight:''' You may be facing them soon because of the efforts of our stealthiest agent. : '''Rex:''' Mm! Thank you! I think. : '''Jungle Cat:''' He's not talking about you. : '''Rex:''' Hey! It's Evo-cat guy! Uh... sorry-- What's your name? O...kay, cat with no collar, what's in the sack? Bunch of canaries? Well, that's... something. : '''White Knight:''' Our associate has been tracking the Consortium with a little help from a former member. : '''Rex:''' I remember him! He's the one Rylander got revenge on with an EVO love letter. : '''Jungle Cat:''' That he never recovered from. But he's still full of useful knowledge about the other members. : '''Rex:''' As long as you have a towel handy for the answers. : '''Jungle Cat:''' The Consortium has financed a new facility for nanite research. All of them will be at that location within the next six hours. : '''Six:''' And so will we. : '''White Knight:''' A rare opportunity like this can't be missed. You three will capture the Consortium and bring them to a secure location. Understood? : '''Rex:''' Purrfectly. : '''Black Knight:''' Gentlemen, I wanted you here today to-- : '''Reddick:''' "Wanted?" Sounds like a command. : '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You get to ask, not order. : '''Black Knight:''' I'm sorry. Let me restate. I asked you here because I can now present some major developments in your quest. I finished construction on the nanite reactor and reassembled against all odds the original science team to run it. Doctors Meechum, systems expert. Salazar, artificial intelligence. Rylander, microengineering. And Van Kleiss, biomechanical integration. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Nanite's recorder locked in. Hologram Rylander saves money on meals. Glow, glow, glow, yipper. : ''[Van Kleiss smooches]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' A human flashlight and a brain-fried babbler. This is what I'm supposed to work with. : '''Vostok:''' Looks like your geniuses have some issues. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' ''[British accent]'' I seem to recall there were two other Salazars on the team. : '''Black Knight:''' They're dead-- And just as well. Considering their actions are responsible for our setbacks, I highly doubt they would have cooperated. : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Black Pawns:''' Ohh! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Black Pawns got to talk to their costume designer. Way too stuffy. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Be quiet. : '''Six:''' Our target? : '''Roswell:''' ''[Southern accent]'' Little lady, I'm hoping you didn't get me out here just to watch some lab jockeys do their homework. : '''Vostok:''' I know I've got better things to do. : '''Black Knight:''' Aside from the all-important reassembly of the science team and activation of the nanite reactor, I do have another development to show you. : '''Roswell:''' Yeah? What else you got? : '''Black Knight:''' An acquisition. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' What's wrong with you? : '''Rex:''' Forget the Consortium! I know where we can find a Master-Control Nanite. : '''Six:''' Where? : '''Rex''': Here. : '''Six:''' We're doing both. You two get the nanite, I'll get the Consortium. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' On of the five? That's all? : '''Reddick:''' You know we need all of the Master-Control Nanites to do us any good. : '''Vostok:''' What about the two you lost? And the other two still out there? : '''Black Knight:''' We'll have the other four in due time. Take this back to the vault. But remember that each one has its own useful powers. : '''Roswell:''' Not enough to drag me all the way out there, little lady. : '''Black Knight:''' "Black Knight". : '''Black Pawns:''' You're not one of us. : '''Six:''' Stay clear of the Pawns. They're not buying our cover. Repeat-- Stay clear of the Pawns. : '''Rex:''' Steel door. A vault! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' That was close. : '''Rex:''' Got it. Have to be as stealthy as you from now on. : ''[Jungle Catsnarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarling]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Van Kleiss! : ''[Jungle Cat muffled grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' Way not to be stealthy. Sorry, cat guy. I know you want payback for him turning you into stone and all, but the nanite is more important. : '''Black Pawns:''' Security alert. Intruder. : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' You find the nanite. I'll be a diversion. <hr width80%> : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' She has shown us some progress. That one nanite is significant in itself. : '''Reddick:''' It's all five or nothing. Or are you thinking of working a separate deal with the one? : '''Vostok:''' Can we please not talk like this while those two are in the room? : '''Roswell:''' Yeah, Xanubian, put a sock in all your yammerin'. : '''Black Pawns:''' Another intruder at security zone three. It's Agent Six. : '''Rex:''' Gotcha. : '''Black Pawns:''' Unh! Aah! : '''Rex:''' I'll take that. Six! I've got the nanite! : '''Six:''' Meet your outside. : ''[Rex gasps]'' : ''[Rex grunting]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Rex:''' I've got it! Let's scat, cat! : '''Black Knight:''' If he's here-- So is Rex. Vault security, come in. : '''Reddick:''' Is there a problem? : '''Black Knight:''' A minor security issue. I'm taking care of it. : '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You better, little lady. : '''Rex:''' Well, mission half accomplished. : '''Six:''' This should complete it. : '''Rex:''' You planted a bomb?! : '''Six:''' Plan "B". : '''Rex:''' The cat! He's still inside! No! We've got to go back for the cat! He's on his own mission. Van Kleiss is there. : '''Six:''' Understood. : '''Black Pawns:''' Black Knight, shouldn't we evacuate? : '''Black Knight:''' The security threat has been removed. Among other things. Track them, find them. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Interlace template, instal copper buffers, hold the mayo, set core temp, heat cold fries. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Remember me? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Someone let the cat in. : '''Jungle Cat:''' You cast me aside as if I was garbage. Turned me to stone. Drained me of life-- Almost. Now it's your turn to suffer. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Had a kitty once. Not you. Bubbles liked catnip and parsnips. Chapped lips. Hip, hip, hooray! : ''[Jungle Cat growls]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're here to clean up, ask for directions, not Dr. Screwloose. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Meechum. Bro. He's here to put Van Kleiss out of the world's misery. Give me a reason why he shouldn't. : ''[Jungle Cat growls]'' : '''Rylander:''' Because the world needs him right now, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander! How did you-- : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' You got it to work. : '''Rylander:''' I've looked better, I'll admit, but I'm still very much alive. And so happy to see you again. : '''Rex:''' If you could bring him back-- : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. It won't work for mom and dad. : '''Rex:''' So, you've come back-- But you're working for them! : '''Rylander:''' It seems crazy, I know, but look at our progress-- The nanite reactor is almost operational! : '''Rex:''' Not if I destroy it. : '''Black Knight:''' Surround them. : '''Caesar:''' Trust me, hermano, We're doing the right thing. : '''Rex:''' You keep saying that, but I don't believe it anymore! : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Bubbles, I'm sorry. Here, kitty, kitty. Left you out in the rain, rain go away-- : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarling]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! Easy on the hot sauce, Peter, Peter pumpkin two seater. : '''Rylander:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Tell him, Caesar! : '''Rex:''' Tell me what? : '''Six:''' Revenge time is up. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat roars]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Aah! Careful! Our work! Ugh! Take it outside! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. : '''Rex:''' I can't talk now! Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Thank you. : '''Rex:''' You're so not welcome. : '''Black Knight:''' You should have left when you had the chance. : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' You guys have such a great cafeteria. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Had to come back for more. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! Unh! : '''Six:''' Unh! : ''[Black Knight grunting]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Unh! : '''Six:''' UNNNNNNNNH! : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Rex:''' Let's say adiós. : '''Six:''' There's still plan "B". : '''Rex:''' We're not assassins. : '''Six:''' You're not. This might be our one chance. : '''Rex:''' To be like them? Then what makes us different? : '''Six:''' Go. I'm right behind you. : '''Roswell:''' You brought us into an ambush! Right behind you, Mr. Chatterbox. : '''Vostok:''' You are cowards. : '''Reddick:''' Graveyards are full of dummies that thought they were though. : '''Vostok:''' Black Knight, we have a lot to discuss about your future. : '''Black Knight:''' By all means, let's talk. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Where's Six? : '''Rex:''' He said he was right behind us. : '''Six:''' I am. The Consortium still has to be dealt with. : '''Rex:''' We now have three Master Control Nanites. I'd say the Consortium has to deal with us. : '''Six:''' Understood. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Purrfectly. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I'm shocked. What happened? : '''Black Knight:''' It seems Vostok had an unfortunate run-in with our intruders as he was leaving. But, there's good news. The reactor is gone. Soon we will have all the nanites we need. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' "We"? : '''Black Knight:''' I think it's time we walked about my promotion. ===Convergence=== ===Enter the Nanite World=== ===Enemies Mine=== : '''Valve:''' Battle is to be waged between your courage and my power. You lose. : '''Gatlocke:''' Valve, my friend. Lovely day for a riot, don't you think? : '''Valve:''' What do you want, Gatlocke? : '''Gatlocke:''' I want lots of things-- A doomsday weapon, my own private island, for my mom to stop calling me to fix her computer. But what I really want is to give you a message. It's time. I suppose I'll make the introductions. : '''Valve:''' A biker needs no introduction. And everyone knows Hunter Cain. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Everything is going according to plan. We get one more thing. Then we get wrecked. : '''Rex:''' Sorry we're late. : '''Bobo:''' We're not late. We're fashionably early. : '''Providence Agent:''' I was starting to think I was on my own. I've been calling for help, but Providence hasn't answered. : '''Six:''' What set this off? : '''Providence Agent:''' No idea. One moment everything was fine. The next moment, complete chaos. : '''Rex:''' I'm heading in. I'll lock up when I'm done. Oh, don't bother getting up. I'm just gonna knock you back down again. : '''Bobo:''' Back in your cages, you filthy animals! : '''Rex:''' Huh? What? You? It's a who's-who of old EVOs. Whew! Really not in the mood for this. You're kidding me. You?! : '''Gatlocke:''' Three men, one objective, no rules. Oh, this is exciting, isn't it? Or is it just me? : '''Valve:''' The others are saying that Rex is here. Rex will get his when we're ready. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Watch yourselves. This one's unpredictable. We know what you want, No-Face. Then we can give it to you. Do what we say. Then you'll get Rex. You'll get the chance to tear Rex apart. Piece by piece. Now we're ready. : '''Rex:''' So you remember who I am. Surprised you have a big enough brain for that. These cells are pretty dull. Let's redecorate. No way I'm letting an EVO get won over on me. Especially a big old frog. : '''Gatlocke:''' Almost out. Freedom is just a... Bottomless ravine away. : '''Valve:''' The biker begs the question, how are we getting across? : '''Gatlocke:''' You know that's not really how begging the question is supposed to be used. Are we kidding? Anyone who gets worked up over that phrase needs to be savagely beaten. : '''Hunter Cain:''' This'll override the drawbridge system. : '''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, now how would someone like you procure something like that? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Friends and hide places. : '''Rex:''' Okay, frog legs. Let's put you in solitary confinement. : '''Bobo:''' Do you look like you got run over by an overstuffed garbage truck? : '''Rex:''' Feels like it. This is a prison riot. Where's Providence? They should be all over this. : '''Six:''' They never responded to any calls. : '''Rex:''' It's a setup. Providence wanted this to happen. But why? : '''Six:''' Six here. Go ahead. : '''Rex:''' Wait. This bridge wasn't down before. : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. About that. Some of the prisoners escaped together. Gatlocke... : '''Rex:''' That's bad. : '''Bobo:''' Hunter Cain... : '''Rex:''' That's even worse! : '''Bobo:''' Valve. : '''Rex:''' That's... Really? Valve? : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. And No-Face. : '''Rex:''' Those four are loose? Together? : '''Six:''' We've got a bigger problem. : '''Rex:''' How can it be bigger than this? : '''Six:''' The EVOs in the city-- The only thing keeping them tame are their control collars. : '''Rex:''' And this is a problem because...? : '''Six:''' Because someone has shut them all down. : '''Rex:''' Let me get that for you. : '''Bobo:''' Dumpster dog. Considering you used to ride around in the Paris, I guess you're moving up in the world. Main to your mud. : '''Six:''' Are you injured? : '''Rex:''' Just worn out. Is this day over yet? : '''Bobo:''' Oh! Signs pointing no. : '''Rex:''' Huh? That came from the track. Can you handle things here? : '''Bobo:''' Only one way to find out. Valve. Those nanite superchargers you keep using are bad for your health. : '''Valve:''' If I were you, I'd be more concerned with your own short-term health. : '''Rex:''' Please, like I have anything to worry about from you. The other three, they're dangerous. You, you're just comedy relief. : '''Valve:''' I am not. Comedy relief. : '''Rex:''' Well, you're not funny, that's for sure. : '''Valve:''' Like the road that continues on, so must the biker. : '''Rex:''' Where did he go so? Ew! Get away from my tacos, cockroach! Huh? You running away? I'll give you this much, Valve. Maybe you're getting smarter. : '''No-Face:''' Unlike you. : '''Rex:''' I put you away once, No-Face. I'll do it again. : '''No-Face:''' The one who makes machines. The one we've been waiting for. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Figures you try to shoot a guy in the back. : '''Hunter Cain:''' All I see is a filthy EVO. : '''Rex:''' Okay, first off, that Lai is tired. Second off, last time I checked, you're teaming up with one. Would that make you an EVO lover? All this hide and seek is wearing me down! Huh? Figures. : '''Gatlocke:''' Leaving so soon? That's not going to impress the hiring committee. Now, let's see what we have here. "Honor roll, A/V Club." Ugh. "Glee Club." ''[Scoffs]'' I'm going to have to be brutally honest with you. You're perfect for my gang. Can you sing soprano? My last soprano drove his motorcycle off a cliff. He survived, but his voice was never the same. By the way, can you fly? This is quite the surprise. I'm willing to hire you, Rex, but you better have some excellent references. : '''Rex:''' Back to prison, Gatlocke! : '''Gatlocke:''' Then consider the offer rescinded! You could be a valued member of my gang. It's a tough job market out there, you know? : '''Rex:''' I'd never work for you! : '''Gatlocke:''' No, not with that attitude, you wouldn't. Welcome to my gang. Your first task is to destroy Rex-- That guy right there. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' Your second task is to complete harassment training. I teach the class. This pamphlet explains everything. : '''Rex:''' No, no, no! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come in. What's happening? : '''Rex:''' One really bad day. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Your nanite readings are off the charts. : '''Rex:''' No surprise. I've been fighting and curing EVOs non stop. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' We need to upload your nanites immediately. : '''Rex:''' Now? Doc, my four worst enemies are still on the loose. Well, my three worst enemies in Valve. Plus the city's in chaos. And where in the world is Providence? How come they're not here dealing with this? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Six and Bobo can mop up the last few EVOs. You have to offload. : '''Rex:''' Okay, fine. But we better make it fast. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll be locked in the chamber for one hour. : '''Rex:''' Just do it, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' This could be a long sixty minutes. : '''Valve:''' According to the tracking bug, Rex is inside. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Gentlemen, this is what we've been waiting for. It's time for Rex to die. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' They followed him. : '''Gatlocke:''' After we kill Rex. We should work together and form a team call ourselves... Gatlocke and the kitty cats. : '''Valve:''' Silence your mouth or the biker will silence it for you. : '''Gatlocke:''' Oh, Valve. You can pretend to be angry, but deep down, you know you're a kitty cat. : '''Hunter Cain:''' They know we're here. : '''Gatlocke:''' You're quite feisty. Have you ever considered a career in the fast growing field of post apocalyptic gangs? : '''Valve:''' She has spirit. Valve the biker will see that spirit crushed. : '''Gatlocke:''' You're Gatlocke's favorite kitty cat. Hmm. Rrr. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Don't follow her. She's trying to lead us away from Rex. Rex is close-by. : '''Valve:''' Rex's chamber... Five minutes to spare. : '''Hunter Cain:''' More than enough time. : '''Gatlocke:''' I could have sworn that we'd agreed to take Rex out together. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I'm changing the terms of the deal if you have a problem with that, feel free to stand right where you are. I've waited a long time for this. Rex! : '''Valve:''' Empty? Or a trick of the mind? : '''Rex:''' Isn't that obvious? Then again, that tracking bug you stuck on me was obvious, too. And the fake countdown? Obvious. It only took me thirty minutes to upload my nanites. You wanted to run me ragged so you could get me. Instead, here you are all in one place. Gotcha! : '''Valve:''' UGHH! : '''Rex:''' UGHHHH! I still don't get why you enlisted Valve. I mean, he's really a third-string bad guy. : '''Valve:''' Valve is the biker. A biker is dangerous. : '''Rex:''' Hmm. Yeah. No. : '''Valve:''' Rrrr! : '''Rex:''' So unpredictable. Like a third-string bad guy. : '''Valve:''' AAAAH! : '''Gatlocke:''' I have a horrible sneaking suspicion that he's winning. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Then do something about it! : '''Gatlocke:''' Don't have to yell. A kind word will get you much further. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' UGHHH! Oh! Oh! Oh ho ho! Ouch! My back! My front and my back! OHH! This is total, total agony! : ''[Gatlocke gasps]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' ''[Calmly]'' I'm okay. Really. I'm fine. : '''Hunter Cain:''' You're lucky. I'll give you that. But you're only delaying the inevitable. You can't beat us all! : '''Rex:''' I never intended to. This offload facility? I reprogrammed it. My surplus nanites aren't being stored. They're powering the shield. : '''Hunter Cain:''' It's a trap! : '''Rex:''' Have fun keeping each other company! : '''Bobo:''' What a day. : '''Rex:''' You know, none of this would have happened if Providence hadn't released the convicts and turned out all those EVOs. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' They did that to keep you busy. : '''Rex:''' Keep me busy from what? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The Nanite Project. We just found out. While we dealt with the EVOs, Black Knight got her hands on another Master-Control Nanite. : '''Rex:''' Then it's time. ===Sinister Secrets=== ===Wounded Hearts=== ===One Step Ahead=== ===Breaking Point=== ===Behind Closed Doors=== ===Keeping Hope=== ===Trust=== ===Terror of the Black Knight=== ===Endgame, Part One=== : '''Rex:''' It was going to happen sooner or later. We had most of the pieces, so it was only a matter of time before the Black Knight made her move. And of all the chances she had to attack, it had to be tonight... at this very moment... while I was in the shower. Huh? How many? : '''Six:''' Should it matter? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can't you do any better than that? : '''Bobo:''' I thought you'd never ask. : '''Rex:''' Rah! Yah! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' If they get to the Meta-Nanites, we still have options. : '''Rex:''' Of the self-destruct kind? No, thanks, doc. It's not going to end that way... hopefully. : '''Black Knight:''' We'll dispense with the pleasantries. You know what we want. : '''Rex:''' There is no way you're walking out of here with the nanites. : '''Black Knight:''' You seem so certain. : '''Rex:''' We've beaten you before. Every single time, in fact. So, this time is different... How? Okay, that's different. Ugh! You're an EVO?! : '''Black Knight:''' Do you think you were the only one they experimented on back in the day? You were the guinea pig. Consider me the new-and-improved version. : '''Rex:''' Okay. Before we go any further, I should probably explain a few things. It started when a bunch of rich guys decided they wanted to live forever, so they got the best scientists in the world to figure out how. The answer was nanites. These microscopic machines would cure disease, end hunger, and pretty much make the world a better place. My parents and older brother were on the team, and so was this guy. Look familiar? Van Kleiss. Then one day there was an accident. To save my life, my parents injected me with nanites. It worked. But there were a few crazy side effects, like the fact I could talk to machines and, later on, build some pretty cool things. That got the rich guys thinking-- How far could we take this? Turns out pretty far. These little machines could control the very fabric of the Universe, but they would need a Master-Control Nanite to program all the others and tell them what to do. Energy, gravity, time/space, elemental, mechanical-- All the things that make the Universe run. Combined together, they would pretty much make you a God. And when my brother and parents found out the Consortium was about to put these nanites inside themselves, they sort of freaked out in a "got to save the Earth" kind of way. Something had to be done to stop it. Turns out that meant blowing the whole thing up, better known as "The Nanite Event". That didn't end well for my parents. While everyone else ran away, my parents were trapped inside. Sill not sure how. There was some good news-- No more Master-Control Nanites. And the bad news? Dangerous unprogrammed nanites got spread across the world, and nanites plus DNA equals EVO. My brother Caesar got caught in a time warp during his escape. Van Kleiss got blown to smithereens and became the world's biggest pain in the nanite. And me? I got amnesia and traveled the globe living the good life... At least, that's how I tell it. The only part I know of wasn't all that much to brag about. I did get some good friends and a few enemies out of the deal. Turns out that losing my memory was a regular thing for me. Last time I woke up and said, "Who Am I?" It was when this guy found me-- Agent Six. He worked for Providence, sort of a global police force created to clean up after the event. It was paid for mostly by the same group of goons that started the whole thing-- The Consortium. It was great for a while. I had my own personal doctor, a chimp sidekick, a cool best friend to hang with. I was a full-fledged hero. The world loved me, and my powers kept getting better and better. Van Kleiss was still a pain, but I managed to take care of him. A few times, actually. Then things started to get not so cool. My brother shows up from out of nowhere. I get thrown six months into the future to find White Knight kicked out of Providence and this lady in charge-- Black Knight. She's been the lapdog of the Consortium from day one, and now her bosses want to pick up where they left off. Most of the old team of scientists have been reunited, and together, they've restarted the nanite program. The Master-Control Nanites were spread across the globe in the first explosion, and we've been racing against Providence to get them back. So far, we've been winning that fight, and that pretty much brings us to right now. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' The Black Pawns are robots?! : '''Black Knight:''' Total obedience at the flip of a switch. Can you blame me? : '''Black Pawn:''' What's so funny? : '''Six:''' I hold back against people. You're not people. : ''[Bobo Haha grunts]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh! : '''Feakins:''' Hey! Hey! Take it easy, would you? Oh! : '''Rex:''' Fitzy?! : '''Feakins:''' Heh? Sorry, guy. They found me. She's hard to say "No" to... and live. : '''Black Knight:''' Well put, Mr. Feakins. And thanks to his unique ability, we can set aside our nanite enhancements and do this the old-fashioned way. : '''Rex:''' Come on. That's not fair. I'm unarmed! : '''Black Knight:''' Precisely. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Stop! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea. : '''Rex:''' Listen to the crazy guy. : '''Black Knight:''' Why are you here, Van Kleiss? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I forgot. Oh, no, wait. I remember. He's got a Master-Control Nanite swallowed up inside him. It's been hiding, the naughty thing. : '''Rex:''' On second thought, don't listen to him. He's, uh-- He's crazy, remember? : '''Black Knight:''' You're sure of this? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, yes, yes. Quite sure. Do you have any mints? : '''Black Knight:''' I want Rex at the lab. Restrain and sedate him. : '''Rex:''' How, hold on a minute. : '''Feakins:''' Hey! What about me? : '''Black Knight:''' I'm not taking any chances. He stays with Rex. Kill the others. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Ahh. : '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Human. : '''Rex:''' What are you telling me? What do you want? : '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. : '''Rex:''' Okay, I get it. How? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Caesar:''' Calm down, Rex. You're safe. : '''Rex:''' Safe?! Black Knight and her robo-troopers just came knocking, and Van crazy says I have a Master-Control Nanite inside me! : '''Caesar:''' Fascinating, isn't it? All this time, it's been hiding undetected inside you. I wonder if this particular control unit is responsible for his unique nano-evolution. : '''Rex:''' Are any of you even listening to me? : '''Feakins:''' Boy, I am. It's like a movie but real! I just want to go start pressing buttons. Can I get another milkshake? : '''Dr. Meechum:''' How exactly do you plan on getting it out of him? : '''Black Knight:''' I have a suggestion. Tear it out. : '''Rylander:''' It would kill him. : '''Black Knight:''' That's none of my concern. : '''Caesar:''' The nanite is tied to his DNA. Simply pulling it out of him would ruin the nanite. : '''Rex:''' And me, too, remember? : '''Caesar:''' The only way this will work is if we put him in the cyclotron with the other Metas. It should extract automatically during the reassembly. : '''Black Knight:''' And if it doesn't? : '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Good question. : '''Rex:''' Here's another one-- Don't I get a say in this? Like, isn't this the exact thing that our parents died trying to stop? : '''Black Knight:''' Take him to the hub and prepare for the transfer. The Consortium is here and extremely impatient. I want this finished within the hour. : '''Feakins:''' Aah! Hey, what am I-- Sandpaper? Not so rough! ''[sputtering]'' Rough. : '''Rex:''' Glad someone can see the humor in this. : '''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, see that Rex is well taken care of. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' ''[to Caesar]'' I hope you know what you're doing, Salazar. This is a huge risk we're taking. : '''Rylander:''' Listen to Peter. The thing we swore to stop at any cost, the thing that took your parents-- It could happen-- Right here, today! : '''Caesar:''' It can't, and it won't. You'll have to trust me on this. : '''Rylander:''' You can only say that so many times, Caesar. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We've been waiting almost an hour. Not even refreshments? : '''Black Knight:''' You can have your snack after we become Gods. : '''Roswell:''' "We"? : '''Black Knight:''' That's right-- "We." None of this would be possible without my efforts. : '''Roswell:''' And our money, sister. : '''Black Knight:''' By all means, have your contempt. There's plenty of room buried next to the Russian if you'd like to keep him company. That's what I thought. Now, if you'll follow me-- : '''Bobo:''' "Kill the others." Not gonna happen, lady. We're bulletproof. Ow! Hangnail. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! We know where they took him. Why are we here? We need to go get Rex. : '''Six:''' I agree. We just don't have the resources, Rebecca. We'd need an army. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've been known to make the impossible happen, Six. How hard could that be? : '''Six:''' Six here. Copy that. We just got ourselves an army. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You see? : '''Van Kleiss:''' That will be all. : '''Feakins:''' But the lady said-- Good luck, Kid. : '''Van Kleiss:''' These restraints were made for you. You're very special, you know. : '''Rex:''' Lucky me. : '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss... leave us. : '''Rex:''' I really hate you. : '''Caesar:'''I know how this looks, Rex. : '''Rex:''' But what? I just have to trust you? Is that what you were going to say? Just help me-- Please. : '''Caesar:''' It may not seem like it, but I am. : '''Rex:''' Caesar... I'm scared. : '''Caesar:''' So am I, little brother. This will all be over in a few minutes. : '''Rex:''' It's already over! When I get out of this, I never want to see you again! : '''Rylander:''' Commencing countdown. : '''Roswell:''' WHOO-HOO! : '''Reddick:''' Payback time! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Caesar:''' This won't be entirely unpleasant. It should feel similar to when you offload surplus nanites. : '''Rex:''' Stop! You can't do this! You can't merge! : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Something's wrong. : '''Rylander:''' Of course something's wrong. The kid is fighting it. : '''Caesar:''' This could be bad. : '''Rylander:''' You have to tell him, Caesar! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, you have to stop. Listen to me. The nanites are supposed to do-- Rex? Can you hear me? : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Actually, he can't. There's a short in the comm relay. : '''Van Kleiss:''' This would be a wonderful day for a picnic. : '''Rex:''' RA-A-A-A-A-A-H! : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' So much for that plan. : ''[Rex laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh, serves you right. All that and you come out of the oven looking like freaks. Nice job! : '''Black Knight:''' It's not exactly what we were expecting, but it's a start. : '''Reddick:''' This isn't what we agreed to. : '''Roswell:''' Where's the rest of our power? This is all messed up! : '''Dr. Meechum:''' How can this be possible? : '''Rylander:''' The Meta-Nanites were dispersed between the five. This is quite a surprise. : '''Caesar:''' We've got to get Rex out of there. Step aside, Van Kleiss. : '''Van Kleiss:''' They still don't have what they want... and neither do you. : '''Black Knight:''' You're angry. I can see that. If you want to take it out on anyone, it should be Rex. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I think I can agree to that. : '''Roswell:''' Count me in! This might actually be fun! : '''Rex:''' Let's think about this for a second. Whoa! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' How 'bout that? Exactly one second. Whoa! Aah! : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What a perfect way to learn to use our powers-- Tearing this brat apart. : '''Rex:''' Only one problem with that, sparky. I've been using my powers a whole lot longer-- And I'm pretty good. : '''Roswell:''' You got any ideas here, missy, or we gonna stand around and get it handed to us? : '''Black Knight:''' The Meta-Nanites were designed to work together. So will we. : '''Rex:''' What? Are you gonna join together to make a robo-mutant? : '''Black Knight:''' That's exactly what we're going to do. : '''Rex:''' I need to stop giving them ideas. Huh? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Black Knight:''' No one the help you-- No family, no friends, nothing. It's a terrible way to go. : '''White Knight:''' Captain Calan, target the base. All weapons, sire. : '''Providence Agent:''' Fire control reports they're being jammed, sir. : '''White Knight:''' Only one salvo. Black Knight must have prepared for this. : ''[Rex groans softly]'' : '''Rex:''' Big giant robot. Black Knight. : '''Six:''' We know. : '''Rex:''' Have to... stay and stop them. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Another time, Rex. : '''Rex:''' I-I-- : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to White Knight. We have Rex. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We're just gonna watch them go?! : '''Black Knight:''' Let Providence have their weapon back. With our combined power, the world is ours. ===Endgame, Part Two=== :'''Black Knight:''' Science has given us a tremendous gift-- Nanites. We've seen what they can do-- The good and the bad. But they're true potential has been largely unseen. Until now. Our goals are varied. Fame... power... revenge... wealth... order. Yet, one thing unites us-- Greed. You're surprised I admit it? Well, don't be. You'll never get far in life without wanting it all. And for those who might consider standing in our way... We'll let our powers speak for themselves. The world is ours. And no one can stop us. :''[Roswell laughs]'' :'''Roswell:''' This is more fun than my first rodeo. What else you got? :'''Six:''' Any change? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's sleeping. The nanites in him are making repairs. That's a good thing. He's a tough kid, Six. :'''Six:''' I know. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' See you next time. Judging by what you fed us for lunch, I'm guessing twenty minutes. Can't even go to the little scientists' room without them breathing down our necks. How long are we going to put up with this? :'''Caesar:''' I know it's not easy working under these circumstances. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Do you? I don't hear you complaining, or have you even noticed that we're prisoniers? :'''Rylander:''' Gentlemen, please. Can we focus on a more important problem? The Consortium's gain of power is a troubling outcome. Something should be done. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're talking about stopping them, I'm listening. :'''Black Knight:''' I want you all in the boardroom in three minutes. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' The world is being taken over by nanite-fueled ex-c.e.o. Psychos, and they still act like they're running a business. :'''Roswell:''' You nerds gave us a raw deal. I want a do-over. :'''Caesar''': A do-over? :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What my colleague means to say is that our powers are remarkable to be sure, but we only have one seventh of what we were promised. :'''Rylander:''' You're asking a lot. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You're asking the impossible. You'd be lucky to survive the extraction. :'''Caesar:''' This is true. You may be powerful, but you're not Rex. :'''Black Knight:''' I share your disappointment, gentlemen. But are you willing to lose everything for this? :'''Roswell:''' Go big or go home. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, what do you have to say? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Easy-peasy. I can do it. It's only a matter of correctly calibrating the bio-filters with the homing frequency of the nanites. By the way, have you seen my socks? :'''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss-- :'''Black Knight:''' Has an assignment. The rest of you... Stay out of trouble. :'''Rex:''' You started without me. :'''Six:''' Glad to see you up and around. Something bothering you? :'''Rex:''' Besides black knight taking over the world? I'm trying to find my friends. I know Providence took them. :'''Six:''' We're working on that. :'''Rex:''' And are we doing anything about the Consortium? What about... The robot? The one I can build. Don't play dumb, Six. :'''Six:''' Come with me. :'''Rex:''' That's me? No way! All this time, I could have been making myself into that thing? Ohh! Maybe not. :'''Six:''' Evidence suggest that you've never been able to control it. It's a weapon of last defense. This was filmed on the day that I found you. It was also the day I made a promise that it would be the last time you ever built this machine. :''[Rex scoffs]'' :'''Rex:''' Or what, you'd kill me? You plan on keeping that promise? :'''Six:''' Rex, you have to know something. We believe this is the type of thing that ends in you losing your memory. :'''Rex:''' Well, it happened to you, and you turned out just fine. :'''Six:''' I only lost six years. Six years is all you have. You would lose everything. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but you need to think about the consequences of some of your options. :'''Noah:''' It feels weird hanging out when the world is under attack. I don't know if I should be fighting back or out in the wilderness setting up a survival compound. :'''Rex:''' If you had the power to stop all this, but it meant losing everything, would you do it, Noah? :'''Noah:''' I don't know. I'm just glad I don't have to make that kind of decision. I guess that's why you're the hero. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' I wish I could get some kind of sign. Anything. Hmm. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Red and yellow, red and yellow. One false move can kill a fellow. :''[Van Kleiss laughs]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' He's got local control. We're locked out. I still don't even know how this is possible. :'''Rylander:''' I've been looking at the data projections. As crazy as Van Kleiss is, his theory is sound. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Sorry to disturb your sleepy sleep. There might be a slight delay. :'''Black Knight:''' Why? :'''Van Kleiss:''' We have a visitor. Should I set out tea? :'''Rex:''' Hey, in there! Come on out! :'''Black Knight:''' Back for more? Happy to accommodate. :'''Rex:''' I should warn you. It's going to get ugly. :'''Black Knight:''' One would think you would have learned the last time. I can feel you resisting me. Stop. :'''Roswell:''' Why is it you get to call all the shots? :'''Black Knight:''' Because I'm the one who has the power to join us. Help me defeat Rex, and you can call all the shots you like. :'''Rex:''' Hyah! :''[Rex babbling]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Six:''' It's a weapon of last defense. It's happened. :'''Noah:''' That's Rex? :'''White Knight:''' I'm going to assume you're seeing what I'm seeing. :'''Six:''' White-- :'''White Knight:''' Before you say anything, Six-- Whatever agreement we may have had regarding this situation no longer applies. Am I clear? :'''Six:''' Understood. :'''Dr. Holiday''': What was that all about? :'''Six:''' A second chance. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have to do something. :'''Six:''' I've seen it before. We're too late. :''[Rex coughing]'' :'''Rex:''' Donde esta mi zapato? :'''Noah:''' Rex! Hold on! :'''Rex:''' What? What happened? :'''Bobo:''' You blew up, kid. :'''Six:''' Do you know who we are? :'''Rex:''' I... I do! Oh-ho! I remember! Ow! Ow! I wish I could forget this pain in my... The Consortium! :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' This is utter nonsense. I refuse to be led around like a show dog. :'''Reddick:''' You can always go back outside and take it up with Providence. :'''Black Knight:''' Guard the door. Nothing gets by you. :'''Six:''' They're robots. :'''Rex:''' Oh! Right! That part I forgot. :'''Bobo:''' Next time, leave some for the rest of us, huh? :'''Rylander:''' I'll stay here and guard the equipment. :''[Rylander laughs]'' :'''Caesar:''' Little brother, they've had this place completely locked down. I've been trying to reach you. :'''Bobo:''' What he said. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Yeah, you deserved that. :'''Rex:''' Open it. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' We can't. Still completely locked out of the system. Besides, you can't interrupt once the cycle has started. :'''Rex:''' Well, then, un-start it! :'''Black Knight:''' You cleaned up for the occasion. How thoughtful of you. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, this isn't for you. You didn't actually believe that I'd let the five of you have all this power. :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I thought you were working for us? :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Rex:''' You see that? I knew it! He's not crazy! Okay... oh! He's crazy, but just his usual crazy. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, I am not amused. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I don't imagine you would be. This was always my intention, even in the very beginning. It's a pity your parents caught me trying to activate the sequence for myself. And, of course, there's the "broken" hatch. The world would be a much better place if they had just left well enough alone. :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Black Knight, do something. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, you have made a huge mistake. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, then, let the fun begin. :''[Black Knight groans]'' :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You can't overload that relay from a subdirectory. You have to get a root. It's impossible from here. :'''Caesar:''' You're a very negative person, Peter Meechum. :''[Dr. Meechum groans]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'll try from the main terminal in the lab. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Caesar:''' Rex, wait! That's not necessary. :'''Rex:''' I'm not waiting around, hermano. :'''Caesar:''' No. That's not what I mean. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I can see it. :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Huh? No. :''[Van Kleiss groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's incredible something so small could have so much [[w:Omnipotence|power]]. That thing could rip apart the very fabric of the universe. :'''Rex:''' It's still a nanite. I'm gonna talk to it. :'''Caesar:''' No. It's okay. :''[The fully complete Meta Nanite comes to Rex, as if it were waiting for him, whose eyes and body glow with a pale blue cosmic aura.]'' :'''Caesar:''' Rex, listen to me. The Meta-Nanite-- It could never work in anyone but you. Now in its pure state. Mom and dad, we programmed them that way from the very beginning. All of this... It's meant for you. :'''Six:''' What are you saying? :'''Caesar:''' Right now, Rex is [[Omnipotence|the most powerful being in the universe]]. :'''Bobo:''' You hear that, Kid? Don't let it get to your head. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me? :'''Rex:''' Yeah, doc. This is pretty trippy. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do now. :'''Black Knight:''' You're a [[God]], Rex. You can do anything you want. :'''Six:''' You know what to do. :'''Rex:''' You're right, Six. So are the rest of you. I can do anything I want. Maybe it's time for a revolution. Isn't that what you five wanted? A revolution? Well, welcome to it. :'''Noah:''' Is he gonna be like this from now on? :'''Rylander:''' Uh... People. He's inside the nanite reactor. :'''Dr. Holiday and Caesar:''' Inside? :'''Rex:''' Okay, little guys. I need you to do something for me. :'''Black Knight:''' Follow me, quickly. :'''Reddick:''' I'm through following you. We trusted you everything, and look what we got. :'''Black Knight:''' We may still be able to retain some of our abilities, but only if you follow me. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Are you seeing this? :'''Rylander:''' Tehnically, I don't have eyes, but yes. :'''Providence Agent:''' Reports are coming in. EVO's all over the world are spontaneously curing. :'''Six:''' Not spontaneous. :'''Caesar:''' He must have programmed all the nanites in the reactor to initiate a worldwide cure event. :'''Black Knight:''' What is your next directive? :'''Rex:''' I don't want anyone using you again. Ever. And that includes me. Deactivate. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I think it's over. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I think you're right. :'''Caesar:''' I wanted to tell you, brother. So much was at stake. :'''Rex:''' We're good. And we'll always be brothers. :'''Diane Ferrah:''' Across the world, not an EVO to be found. After more than six years, it appears we've awoken from the nightmare. :'''White Knight:''' The EVOs may be gone, but we still have nanites. :'''Rex:''' Leave it to you to spoil all the fun, White Knight. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' There are some people here to see you, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd? :'''Skwydd:''' Eh, I guess I should start going by Walter again. :''[Rex runs to Circe and the two lovers share a close hug, happy to be together at last]'' :'''Rex:''' Uh... Are you...? :'''Circe:''' I'm okay. Normal, but okay. I think you may have put yourself out of a job. :'''Skywdd:''' Yeah. What are you gonna do? Go to school? :'''Rylander:''' It was nice having the team back together. You know, we should find a new project. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You kidding? I'd rather have root canal with a rake. Worst experience of my life. :'''Caesar:''' Do you want to hear about some of my new ideas or not? :'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'm listening. :'''Rex:''' Finally. :'''Six:''' Need anything? :'''Rex:''' Nope. I'm good. There's always going to be something, isn't there? :'''Six:''' Yes, there is. ==Characters== ===Main=== *Rex Salazar (Daryl Sabara) *Six *White Knight *Bobo Haha ===Supporting=== *Circe (Tara Sands) *Tuck (Dante Bosco) *Skwydd *Cricket *Beverley Holiday *Caesar Salazar *Five *Tres *IV ===Villains=== *Van Kleiss *The Pack *Gatlocke *Hunter Cain *Quarry *Black Knight *The Consortium ===Couples=== *Dr. Rebecca Holiday & Six *Rex & Circe *Noah Nixon & Claire Bowman ==Elements== ===Rex's Machines "Builds"=== *Big Fat Sword *Buzz Saw *Punk Busters *Boogie Pack *Cannon *Smack Hands ===Rex's Other Abilities=== *Technopathy *Data Manipulation *Technological Manipulation *E.V.O.

A video game and several chapter books were produced. The series supposedly "[[w: cliffhanger|concluded]]" with its third season, despite leaving many questions unanswered and crucial elements unresolved ''before'' the two-part Season 3 finale, ''Endgame''. ==Season One (2010-2011)== ===The Day That Everything Changed=== :'''Bobo''': Wheels or wings? :'''Rex''': Wheels, I wanna tear something up. <hr width80%> :'''Agent Six''': He just needs more training control of those emotions. :'''Dr. Holiday''': He's a teenager that's like asking you to get a different color suit! ===String Theory=== :'''Biowulf:''' Master, we had a situation at the safe house.

Did you see that awesome save? : '''Circe:''' Sorry, I was busy trying not to get tackled by some nitwit. : '''Rex:''' Yeah? How that work out for you? And who still uses the word "nitwit"? I'm Rex. : '''Circe:''' I'm leaving. : '''Rex:''' Hey, wait! : '''Noah:''' Rex, you're up. : ──────────────────── : '''Six:''' What about the new tracker? : '''Doctor Holdiay:''' His nanites unbuilt it, just like all the other ones we tried sneaking in him. We're still receiving his biometric readings though. It's strange, they're all over the place. It's almost like his emotions are...shorting out. : '''Six:''' He took an unusual interest in Calan's briefing about equatorial upticks. : '''Doctor Holiday:''' And that's important because? : '''Six:''' Rex has been acting stir-crazy and I heard the monkey mention something about spring break. ''[to workers]'' Scan all resort areas for his bio signature. : ──────────────────── : '''Noah:''' Oh, you have got it all messed up. Falling for some girl? We're supposed to get them to dig us. Not the other way around. : '''Rex:''' I don't know. There was something different about her. She's...right there. Later. : ──────────────────── : '''Rex:''' Hey, wait up! : '''Circe:''' Why are you following me?! : '''Rex:''' Uh, I don't know exactly. : '''Circe:''' Do you think I'm playing?! : '''Rex:''' Well, if you are I'm down for another game. I thought maybe we could hang out. It is spring break, you know. Fun. : '''Circe:''' I'm with my family. We're not really for fun. : '''Rex:''' What! Who comes to the beach and doesn't have fun? : (''Circe raises her hand'') : '''Rex:''' Don't you think that's a little messed up? : '''Circe:''' Maybe a little. : '''Rex:''' So? : '''Circe:''' I'm Circe. : ──────────────────── : '''Rex:''' Hold on! : '''Circe:''' Woooo! : '''Rex:''' Definitely better than my suggestion. : '''Circe:''' Hunting for seashells is fun. : (''both laugh'') : '''Beach Guy:''' You two skid-marts up for a race to the beach? : '''Circe:''' Well, if you drive as badly as for play volleyball, we could probably walk there and win. You're on, meathead. : (''guy drives off in anger)'' : '''Rex:''' So you were watching me play. : '''Circe:''' Maybe a little. : '''Rex:''' sure you wanna do this? : '''Circe:''' Thrill me. : '''Beach Guy:''' Hahahaha! Wooo! : '''Circe:''' C'mom Rex, faster! : ──────────────────── : '''Biowulf:''' Explain. : '''Circe:''' Relax. I was covering. Every day when I'm at the end of that jet i when I could hanging out with the other kids, it's starting to look suspicious. : '''Biowulf:''' You're not here for vacation, girl! You're here to prove yourself to Van Kleiss. And I'm starting to doubt you can. : '''Circe:''' I told you. It's a done deal. : (''The shadow of her tubular sonic mouth is seen'') : ──────────────────── : '''Noah:''' So what's on today's spring break agenda? Jet skiing, hiking? : '''Bobo:''' Eating our weight in crab legs? : '''Rex:''' I figured we'd just chill. Let's just see who...uhh I mean what shows up. : ''(siren-like call)'' : '''Rex:''' Did you hear that? : '''Noah:''' Sorry, enchiladas. : '''Rex:''' No, that! You seriously didn't hear that? : ──────────────────── : '''Rex:''' Circe? : '''Circe:''' You really shouldn't be here right now. : '''Rex:''' I heard something coming from over here. : '''Circe:''' I'm serious, Rex. It's not safe. : '''Rex:''' What you think some sort of roguewave is gonna knock off and- Oh. : '''Circe:''' There you are. Get out of here, Rex! : '''Rex:''' Circe!! What are you doing!? : '''Circe:''' Me!? What are you doing!? : '''Rex:''' Right now, my job. Okay! Don't freak out. <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' You're an E.V.O.? : '''Rex:''' You catch on fast. : '''Circe:''' Takes one to know one. : (''Shows Rex her fleshly sonic mouth'') : '''Rex:''' No way. <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' Cover your ears! : '''Rex:''' What!? : '''Circe:''' Your ears! Cover them! : (''Projects her tubular, fleshy mouth and emits strong hypersonic bursts'') <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' Did I hurt you? : '''Rex:''' Yeah. It was awesome. You were the one making that sound. : '''Circe:''' I'm glad you're OK, but I'm in serious trouble. I have to go deal with it. : '''Rex:''' Why are in trouble? Is it because of that E.V.O.? Let me help you. : '''Circe''': No. I have to do this by myself. :(''Rex takes a hold of her hand'') : '''Rex:''' Meet me later. : '''Circe:''' Rex... (''Looks away sadly'') : '''Rex:''' I've never met anyone like you...like me. It'd be nice to talk to an E.V.O. who's not, you know, trying to kill me. Nine O'clock? : '''Circe:''' I'll try. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' I just wanted to have some fun, see if I could jog my memory, feel...normal. :'''Six:''' Your "normal" is different, Rex. :(''Rex hears Circe's irresistibly hypnotic melody'') :'''Rex:''' It's her, Six. Just let me deal with this, OK? Alone. <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' You're only here because you heard my [[w:siren |call]]. That's what I do. I'm like a big E.V.O. magnet. : '''Rex:''' I came because I thought we had a connection. And what are you calling? Nothing's out there but big, ugly sea monsters. : '''Circe:''' It's them! You have to go! Rex, please! I don't want them to see you with me! : '''Rex:''' Who? Your parents? : '''Circe:''' They're not my parents. They're... : '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Van Kleiss' guys!? Your with ''them''!? : '''Circe:''' Yeah. I'm with them. <hr width80%> : '''Biowulf:''' We're running out patience with you, Circe! You have one last chance! Summon the E.V.O.! Finish the job!! : '''Circe:''' Don't you think I've been trying? Every day for the last week? Sometimes these things take time. : '''Rex:''' It is just me or do you use your powers to kill all the guys you meet? You're letting her go, now! : '''Biowulf (laughs)''': So ''this'' is who you been wasting your time with. She's on her own free will, Rex. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' Circe? : '''Circe:''' You have to leave me alone, Rex!! ''Please!'' <hr width80%> : '''Six:''' Go after her. I mean it. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' The Pack!? Are you serious!? : '''Circe:''' To the rest of the world I'm a freak! Not to them! : '''Rex:''' You're not a freak to me! What about that? : '''Circe:''' What about it!? Spring break is fun, but we can't live there, Rex. The real world... : '''Rex:''' In the real world, I work for Providence. You could come with me. Could you cut out that noise for a second!? : '''Circe:''' No, I can't! I'm running out of time! Most people on this planet what E.V.O.s gone, ''including'' Providence! With Van Kleiss, I have a purpose; a home. You don't what that means to me. : '''Rex:''' Actually, I think I might. : '''Circe:''' So what are going to do? : '''Rex:''' How about fight that big, ugly sea monster again? : '''Circe:''' Finally! It's what I came here to do. : '''Rex:''' You've been calling that thing, haven't you? : '''Circe:''' It's my initiation into the Pack. I was brought here to capture it. : '''Rex:''' By yourself!? The two of us could barely take it on! There's a resort here; innocent people! Send it back! : '''Circe:''' That's not an option, Rex. Van Kleiss was very specific. : '''Rex:''' Then I'm helping you. : '''Circe:''' That's not an option either!! : (''Blasts him with her hypersonic waves'') <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' If I do this myself, I'll have a life! If I don't, Van Kleiss won't be happy. And you've seen what he does when he's not happy. : '''Rex:''' If I don't help you, he won't even get the chance! : '''Circe:''' Give me some credit, Rex! I'm not as helpless as you think! <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I don't care whose side your on, Circe. I don't want to see you die today. Can we at least agree on that? : '''Circe:''' You have no idea what I'm in for, Rex. But you're right. I can't do this by myself. : '''Rex:''' You're not as helpless as you think. <hr width80%> : '''Circe''' (''relieved'')''':''' Rex, you stopped it. : '''Rex:''' We make a good team, huh? : '''Circe:''' Yeah, we sure do. : (''She and Rex lean in closer for a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by Biowulf'') : '''Biowulf:''' This trial was for you alone. Van Kleiss will not be pleased. : '''Rex:''' Forget them, Circe. Come with me. Providence could use you. : '''Circe:''' That's just not my life, Rex. I'm sorry. I did have fun. <hr width80%> : '''Van Kleiss:''' We had high hopes for your abilities, Circe. Failure leaves its mark on yet another pretty face. : '''Circe:''' I'm not afraid. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Of course not. You're a survivor, like all of us. I understand you made a friend during your trial. I'm pleased. Rex is very important to me, Circe, which makes you very important to me as well. Welcome to the Pack. : (''Circe looks slightly worried, which clearly indicates that she does have real feelings for Rex'') ===Lockdown=== <hr width80%> :'''Holiday:''' Rex, stop!! :'''Rex:''' Give me one good reason! :'''Holiday:''' Because, Rex...that's my sister. :'''Rex:''' Can I...help? :'''Holiday:''' She's an incurable. <hr width80%> :'''Six:''' Restrain it. Carefully. :'''Holiday:''' Thank you. ===The Architect=== :'''Six''': Still no sign of the kid? :'''Holiday''': Not since we lost his biometric readings five days ago. :'''Six''': Was Noah any help? :'''Holiday''': Says he doesn't know where he is either. What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he needs a home, not just a room and a job? We've been pushing him away. :'''Rex''': I build machines and cure EVOs-- the only one in the world who can. Just one cure for that kind of pressure-- road trip. But that doesn't mean "vacation". :'''Build worker''': Whoa! :'''Maxwell''': What in the world is that?! :'''Build worker:''' Oh, no! :''[Both screaming]'' :'''Jacob''': Get away from that cable! Unh! :''[Kate gasps]'' :'''Maxwell''': Hey! :'''Jacob''': Agh! :'''Kate''': Jacob! :'''Rex''': Nope. A hero's work is never done. You okay? :'''Jacob''': What... are you? :'''Rex''': Here to help. :'''Jacob''': We've got to get that cable back underground. We've been compromised. :'''Kate''': But, Jacob, the EVOs-- :'''Jacob''': We don't have a choice. Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason. :'''Rex''': Hey! Pay attention! :'''Providence Agent''': We have a hit in sector 15. :'''Six''': Anyone in the area? :'''Providence Agent''': I show one patrol in the vicinity. Signaling to intercept. Roger that. We're on our way. :'''Rex''': Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos! :'''Jacob''': You can control your nanites? :'''Rex''': People usually start with "thanks," but yeah. :'''Jacob''': You see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve... harmony with the nanites. This boy... sorry... young man Is a miracle. :'''Rex''': I'm not a miracle. I'm just Rex. :'''Jacob''': Well, Rex, you're a blessing to us for what you did here and for showing us that all our work isn't in vain. :'''Rex''': Like imaginary work? :'''Jacob''': Follow us. :'''Providence Agent''': Confirming coordinates. We've lost the EVO signal. Did you take it out? Negative. There's nothing here. Must be another anomalous reading. You can return to post. :'''Rex''': This is awesome! A hidden village. And nobody knows you're out here? Not even Providence? :'''Jacob''': Especially not Providence. :'''Rex''': Really? really. Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good cellphone reception. :'''Jacob''': That tower is gonna change the world, Rex. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but I have one for You. Are you hungry? :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! :'''Caleb''': My dad said you fought all those EVOs all by yourself. Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay away from EVOs? :'''Kate''': Caleb, let him eat. We don't get many visitors. :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! What is this? :'''Caleb''': Didn't your mom ever make you meatloaf and mashed potatoes? :'''Rex''': I don't -- I don't know. :'''Kate''': It took me a month and a half to program in the perfect lump-to-mash ratio of the potatoes-- 7.2%! :'''Jacob''': We ate potatoes until they were coming out of our ears. :'''Rex''': I don't see any potatoes in there. :'''Caleb''': They didn't really come out of our ears. :'''Rex''': I could eat these every day. :'''Rex''': Mmm! :'''Caleb''': We have them every friday. :'''Rex''': Then I might just have to stick around until next friday. :'''Kate''': Help yourself to seconds. :'''Jacob''': Or thirds. :'''Rex''': Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! :'''Bobo''': Hmm? :'''Six''': You might think you're doing Rex a favor by covering for him. :'''Bobo''': Get lost. I don't know what you're talkin' about. :'''Six''': Rex is angry with us. He has every right to be. But that means nothing to White Knight. And he doesn't have the patience we do. :'''Bobo''': Nice try. White won't lay a finger on him. He's too important. :'''Six''': You, however, are somewhat expendable. :'''Bobo''': All right, all right. You made your point. :'''Rex''': I've never seen tech like this... not even at Providence. :'''Jacob''': The Architect has some pretty big ideas. We just make them happen. He'd be very interested to meet you, Rex. :'''Rex''': So what exactly are You doing way out here? :'''Jacob''': Engineers like us weren't very popular after the nanite event. When we met the Architect, he offered us the opportunity to make up for that... to do amazing things. Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world. And then there's this. The Architect has actually discovered a way to communicate with the nanites. :'''Rex''': Are you serious? :'''Jacob''': The possibilities... We could finally live in harmony... maybe even have them help us. :'''Rex''': Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want to know about this stuff. :'''Jacob''': The Architect is something of a perfectionist. Says the world will know as soon as it comes online. :'''Maxwell''': Stinkin' module! :'''Jacob''': Is there a problem, Maxwell? :'''Maxwell''': No matter what I try, I just can't get the interlock servo to engage. :'''Rex''': There. :'''Jacob''': That could have taken us weeks to figure out, and you did it in seconds. :'''Rex''': Eh, no biggie. :'''Jacob''': You really are amazing, Rex. We're so happy to have you with us. :'''The Architect''': Jacob. :'''Jacob''': I was just talking to Rex about you. The Architect. :'''Rex''': How's it going? :'''The Architect''': The power-linkage team is falling behind. We cannot keep having these delays. :'''Jacob''': I'll check in with them. :'''Rex''': Wow. Friendly. :'''Jacob''': I like to think he's smiling on the inside. :'''Rex''': Yeah. I know a guy like that. :'''The Architect''': The visitor could be a problem. Do you wish to have him removed? :'''Zag-RS''': His abilities could advance our progress considerably. And in a matter of days all humans will be gone, including this one: Rex. :'''Six''': I'm at the location the monkey gave me. :'''Holiday''': Well? Is Rex there? :'''Six''': Apparently not. Tell the monkey I want to see him when I get back. Six out. :'''Rex''': That should do it. :'''Maxwell''': Hey, Rex, can you look at this? :'''Rex''': Sure. Let me guess... they all need my help, too. :'''Jacob''': You're quite the popular guy. :'''Rex''': Amazing what a little gratitude will get you. At Providence, they'd just be yelling at me. I mean, I never felt like I really belonged there. Here, it's way different. :'''Jacob''': I know the feeling. The Architect has made all this possible for us. We have a community... a family... thanks to him. The work we do is in part to pay that back. :'''The Architect''': Primary systems are now complete. :'''Zag-RS''': Prepare to take us online. :'''Bobo''': Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, pal. I would never rat out my... Ooh. He's going west. :'''White Knight''': Why is Rex doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty? :'''Holiday''': Actually, if you look, he's still doing his job. Here's every false alarm since Rex left... not false alarms, But Rex taking care of EVOs along the way. :'''White Knight''': Why? :'''Holiday''': I don't know. To prove he doesn't need us? :'''Six''': Get the coordinates of the last false alarm and transmit them to my jump jet. :'''Holiday''': Six, if we force him to come back, he'll just run away again. He has to want to be here. It needs to be his decision. :'''Jacob''': It's all coming together, Thanks to you, Rex. :'''Rex''': It's really cool to use my powers to actually build something, instead of just pounding EVOs. Oh, check it out. Even the boss is pitching in. :'''Both''': Huh? :'''Rex''': And that's getting strange looks because-- :'''Jacob''': Because in all these years, we've never seen him lift a finger. :'''Rex''': Taking some initiative... I like that. So, this whole "talking to nanites" thing... how does that work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say to them? :'''The Architect''': It doesn't concern you. :'''Rex''': Uh, considering I'm filled with them, it kind of does. How do we know it's not gonna make things even worse? :'''The Architect''': I do not answer to you, child! :'''Jacob''': Rex? Forgive him. He's still not used to the way things work around here. :'''The Architect''': Complete your duties! :'''Rex''': Why do you let him walk all over you like that? Don't you want answers? :'''Jacob''': What we want is a home. Without him, we have nothing... Nothing. We can't just run away from our problems, Rex. Most people can't. Look, this isn't perfect but it's all we've got. Rex, where are you going? :'''Rex''': He never answered my question. :'''Jacob''': That place is off-limits. The Architect has made it very clear to us that we can never go in there. We get this life for that promise. Rex, don't do it! :'''Rex''': Agh! :'''Jacob''': Rex, please! :'''Rex''': I'm sorry, jacob. I have to know. :'''The Architect''': Rex. The core is off-limits. You would be we to leave at once. :'''Rex''': Not until I get some answers. What is that? :'''The Architect''': No more questions. :'''Rex''': So, it's gonna be like that? Okay, I'll play. Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to machines? Agh! :'''Zag-RS''': As you can see, the current range of my signal is rather limited. :'''Rex''': You're the computer. :'''Zag-RS''': My human designation is "Zag-RS". The device you refer to as "The Architect" is my autonomous counterpart. :'''Rex''': What did you just do to me? :'''Zag-RS''': I instructed your nanites to protect me. :'''Rex''': "Instructed"? So you really can talk to them. :'''Zag-RS''': Insidious devices, the nanites. My own potential for greatness has been compromised because of them. They must be eliminated. When the transmitter is integrated into the broadcast array you helped us complete, they will blow themselves up. :'''Rex''': That's what this is for. It's like a big remote control. Every living thing on the planet has nanites in them. It'd kill everything! :'''Zag-RS''': That is of no importance to me... only ensuring my continued survival. :'''Rex''': Well, what about ours? This is all coming down! :'''Zag-RS''': I'm afraid you're too late. :'''Rex''': Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! :'''Jacob''': Rex, what have you done? :'''Rex''': You don't understand! The Architect... it's a robot... And a big honkin' computer "brain" is pulling his strings. :'''Jacob''': This can't be! :'''Rex''': Jacob, you've got to believe me. Just go inside and look. What's left of it is on the floor. :'''Jacob''': I can't go in there. And I don't have to. :'''The Architect''': Rex. :'''Rex''': You're making a big mistake! :'''Maxwell''': You entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable! :'''Rex''': I'm trying to tell you... this isn't what it seems. What you're protecting is a robot, and that thing we've been building is a transmitter. It's gonna send out a kill code to blow up every single nanite on Earth. :'''Maxwell''': He's lying! :'''Jacob''': What would be the point in that, Rex? Every living thing is infected with nanites. It would be catastrophic. :'''Rex''': Right in the middle of that pyramid is a computer, and it doesn't care about you or Kate or Caleb. The better future that you've all been working towards... That's the lie. Think about it. Isn't it strange that you've never been inside that place, that The Architect has never given you a straight answer about anything? :'''Jacob''': All this work it just doesn't make any sense. :'''Rex''': You have two choices... Go in there and prove me wrong or kick me out right now. I'll have Providence here in minutes. :'''Maxwell''': He's bluffing. :'''Rex''': To save every living thing on earth? Try me. :'''Maxwell''': Jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go? :'''Jacob''': All this time, we've been living in fear, Max. It's time for that to end. :'''The Architect''': You needn't bother. Construction is complete. Your services are no longer required. :'''Rex''': Now do you believe me? :'''The Architect''': Zag-RS thanks you for your hard work. In gratitude, my master has delayed transmission to allow you to say farewell. :'''Jacob''': Farewell, huh? I'll start with you. Can you shut that thing down? :'''Rex''': I don't know. Even without the antenna, it can mess with my nanites. I can't get too close to the computer. :'''Jacob''': Maybe I can. Let's go! :'''Rex''': The brain is right over there. :'''The Architect''': Rex. :'''Jacob''': It's still arging. The A.I. must have retreated behind a firewall. Rex, I have to go cut the power. :'''Holiday''': Six, are you at The location? :'''Six''': Just arrived. :'''Holiday''': I'm picking up a massive power surge in your area. :'''Six''': I'm not seeing anything. :'''Jacob''': Agh! :'''Rex''': Agh! :'''Six''': Six to holiday. Correction... I'm seeing something. :'''Jacob''': It's still on. Must have charged the capacitors. Figure out a way to short it out... fast! :'''Rex''': Unhhh! :'''Jacob''': You need to find the primary transmitter module. That will kill the broadcast. :'''Rex''': I have no idea what that is. :'''Jacob''': Max, we need to locate the primary module. :'''Maxwell''': Panel 5, just off the relay bus. :'''Jacob''': Top of the tower. You can't miss it. :'''Rex''': Agh! Unh! Why do you have to kill everyone? Can't you just leave us alone? :'''Zag-RS''': Alone is exactly what I want, Rex. :'''Rex''': That kind of alone it stinks. :'''Zag-RS''': N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. :'''Jacob''': It's gone. Must have uploaded to another location. But without anyone to do it's bidding, it's just a program. :'''Rex''': What will you do now? :'''Jacob''': We'll rebuild. The Architect may have been a lie, but what we believe in is true. We don't need him to have a community or a better future. You're welcome to stay. We sure could use someone with your abilities. :'''White Knight''': Well? :'''Six''': He's not here. Bobo's been worried sick. :'''Rex''': rex: Oh, really? :'''Six''': Ratted you out for a pizza. :'''Rex''': Huh. Figures. What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence? :'''Six''': Not this time. Seems like a nice place. :'''Rex''': Yeah. It is. But it's not home. If I'm going back, there are gonna have to be some changes. First, no more curfew. :'''Six''': No. :'''Rex''': Second, I want to decide On my missions. :'''Six''': No. :'''Rex''': Okay, but there's one change that absolutely has to be made, or I'm through. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great? :'''Bobo''': Mmm. :'''Six''': It's a little dry. :'''Rex''': Mmm. Mm the lump mash ratio is a bit off. :'''Bobo''': You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too... Go somewhere where my cooking is appreciated! :'''Six''': We have to do this every friday? :'''Rex''': Mmm. ===Frostbite=== :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I'm picking up a problem. You need to return to base immediately. :'''Rex''': I miss you, too, doc. But I'm kinda busy dealing with a problem of my own. Whoa! Whoa! Aah! Okay. Ow. Big mistake, tweety. Can that bird brain of yours comprende I'm trying to help you? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, your own nanite count is off the charts. If you take on any more nanites, We're looking at an overload. :'''Rex''': Come on, doc. It's just a big birdie. :'''Dr. Holiday''': You're already over capacity. This is critical! Rex! :'''Six''': Rex, you need to listen to the doctor. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at headquarters now. :'''Rex''': Do you really want a supersize pigeon flying loose all over lower Manhattan? You need me, and I can handle it. :'''Six''': Not your call. :'''Rex''': Unless I make it my call. :'''Dr. Holiday''': (as everyone is fighting) Stop! Need I point out that this isn't the best place for a fight. Anything happens to that storage tank and you'll know why providence made this place so remote. Now let's just talk this out calmly, rationally. :'''Biowulf''': Whatever happens here, Weaver. It's nothing compared to what Van Kleiss would have done to you. :'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help? :'''Biowulf''': Good luck. (Biowulf and Skalamander run off) :'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking? :'''Agent Six''': Rex. You need to listen to the doctor. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Agent Six''': This mission is revised. I need you back at Headquarters. Now! :'''Rex''': Do you really want a super-sized pigeon flying loose over lower Manhattan. You need me and I handle it. :'''Agent Six''': Not your call. :'''Rex''': (as he's flying over the Pack in an Arctic storm) Like you're really going to find me when you can't see 2 feet in front of your face... Huh? (Flies into some of Skalamander's shards and crashes) Guess that visibility thing works both ways. :'''Rex''': (To Weaver) So, thanks to you, all this time I've been supplying nanites to Van Kleiss! :'''Rex''': Can't you believe you let these scags get the drop on you. :'''Agent Six''': They tried. It didn't turn out so well. Just haven't found a way to fight xenoflourine gas... yet. :'''Rex''': What do you say guy? Common enemy? Little help? :'''Biowulf''': Good luck.(Biowulf and Skalamander run off) :'''Rex''': Right. What was I thinking? :'''Agent Six''': You can't possibly absorb all those nanites! You'd overload in an instant. :'''Rex''': In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with authority. :'''Rex''': (as Rex is absorbing nanites) Six wait! I can hear them! :'''Doctor Holiday''': (Watching from the ship) What are you waiting for, Six? Take the shot! :'''Rex''': (Speaking mechanically) Build protocol enabled. Command error detected. Abort. Abort. Stand by engaged. (Rex falls. His voice reverts to normal) Take the shot. :'''Agent Six''': He told me he could hear them. :'''Doctor Holiday''': I picked this up during the offload... It's Nanite. I'm sure of it. :'''Agent Six''': Seems there are more secrets inside that kid than we realized. :'''Skalamander:''' What's the kid doing here? :'''Biowulf:''' I don't know. This was supposed to be routine. Something's not right. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends!? :'''Salamander:''' He thinks we've done something. :'''Biowulf:''' Then let him keep thinking. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' You know, the nanites in me can counteract knockout gas! The playing-possum thing's a pretty good trick. Now tell me where my friends are or I start squeezing! <hr width80%> :'''Six:''' He told me he could hear them. :'''Holiday:''' I pulled this off during the offload. It's nanite. I'm sure of it. :'''Six:''' Seems like there are more secrets inside that kid than we thought. ===Leader of the Pack=== <hr width80%> : '''Holiday:''' There couldn't possibly be enough E.V.O. activity to account for these nanite readings. They're off the scale. Looking for Van Kleiss? : '''Rex:''' Circe. I thought I saw her in the blimp. : '''Holiday:''' That's the girl you met in Cabo Luna. : '''Rex:''' She may be with the Pack now, but I think I can still get her to talk to me. You know I can be pretty convincing. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Dr. Holiday, there! Now let's take this outside! :'''Holiday:''' Rex. : '''Van Kleiss:''' It's quite all right. The determination of youth. I'm sure Circe will be disappointed she couldn't see you, Rex. She's attending to other duties this evening. Now if you will excuse me. : '''Rex:''' Why are you really here!? : '''Van Kleiss:''' The people of Abysus have a great way to offer the world. I'm just in part to make that known. :'''Rex:''' Or maybe 'cause I couldn't come to you, so now you're coming to me! :'''Van Kleiss:''' I admit you are important to me, Rex, but it's not always about you. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' Circe? Interesting look. Want to tell me what's going on? : '''Circe:''' Not today. :(''Knocks him out cold with a metal slate. She later looks outside Rex's prison cell and leaves, with a slightly guilty, dejected expression'') <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' Well, thanks for nearly bashing my brains in back there! And what's with the "knocking me out" thing? : '''Circe:''' We just needed to keep you out of the way until all of this was over. : '''Rex:''' ''This!?'' He could destroy the whole city! : '''Circe:''' He's trying to negotiate peace from a position of strength. : '''Rex''' (sarcastically)''':''' Oh, yeah! All this nanite power is just screaming peace. : '''Circe:''' His methods may be aggressive. But he's here to save us...and you. Come on, Rex, jump in with us. The water's fine. : '''Rex:''' I'll think about it ''after'' I've stopped Van Kleiss. : '''Circe:''' It's too late for that now, Rex. <hr width80%> : '''Van Kleiss:''' We will not be ignored! ''Circe'' understands this. Why don't you respect her judgement? :'''Rex:''' You think you can lure me in with her. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Like a fish to water. <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I won! : '''Van Kleiss:''' It seems you have. Your parents would have been so proud. I never had the chance to tell you about them, have I? Perhaps another time. ===Breach=== : '''Rex:''' This is...different. <hr width80%> : '''Dr. Holiday:''' What is Van Kliess up to, Breach! Where did he have you send Rex? : '''Breach:''' Van Kleiss isn't always in charge of me. Sometimes I do what I want; like now. ===Of Love and War=== ===No Strings Attached=== ===Desperate Measures=== ===The E.V.O. Agenda=== ===Dark Passage=== :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Any man who runs from his past will surely forfeit his future. The time has come to see what you created. :''[Bussiness Man choking]'' :'''Dr. Rylander:''' And this is only the beginning. :'''Rex:''' Hey! What's the rush? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Easy now! :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Did I say you could leave? :'''Six:''' Rex, deactivate his nanites before he-- :'''Rex:''' I'm all over that. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex gasping]'' :'''Bussiness Man:''' Please, don't let him hurt me again. :'''Rex:''' Hey, don't look at me. I barely touched the guy. :'''Six:''' Calm down. We're here to help you. :'''Bussiness Man:''' He said it was just the beginning. You have to stop him! :'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. Somebody's a few tacos short of a fiesta platter. :'''Business Man:''' H-he is a madman. A madman! :'''Rex:''' Come back! :'''White Knight:''' Our most recent EVO incident was not an isolated event. Similar outbreaks have been reported over the past twenty-four hours-- All linked to these mysterious "gifts" sent to each of the victims. :'''Rex:''' Talk about your sucky presents, like socks for Christmas. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The mechanism delivers a substance that activates latent nanites. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, but that dude changed back before I could shut him down. How'd that happen? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' From what I can tell, the victims were only exposed to a low dose designed to wear off quickly. :'''Six:''' There has to be a motive. Was our victim able to tell you anything? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' No. Complete mental collapse. He's too far gone. But we recovered a partial fingerprint from the device. :'''White Knight:''' It belongs to evolutionary biologist Dr. Gabriel Rylander. He was a leading expert in nanotechnology. :'''Six:''' "Was"? :'''White Knight:''' No one's seen or heard from him since the original nanite event. :'''Rex:''' Hold up. Are you saying this guy was there? :'''White Knight:''' We have no evidence of that. But following the event, Rylander vanished-- Along with his wife and young son. :'''Rex:''' Son? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Analysis of the nanite agent turned up trace elements of a rare plant found only in South America. :'''White Knight:''' Thermal imaging has located what appears to be a fortified compound, and that's exactly where intelligence reports Van Kleiss is heading, which means you will be, too. We expect the target to be heavily defended. Six, your team will handle the initial covert assault to recover the nanite agent and Dr. Rylander. If Van Kleiss really is after the same target, you better hope you get there first. :'''Jungle Cat:''' The path is clear, Van Kleiss. I'll continue ahead. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Our newest member of the pack seems to be working out well, wouldn't you agree? :''[Biowulf scoffs]'' :'''Biowulf:''' You should have stayed in Abysus, master. Even with this suit and soil from home, your powers are weak. :'''Van Kleiss:''' This is no ordinary errand, Biowulf. An old friend has just announced his return. Dr. Rylander's calling card to the Consortium offers an interesting prospect-- A limitless supply of active nanites. All that power-- Anytime-- Anywhere. :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Bobo:''' Got any idea where they keep the bug spray on this rust bucket? ''[swatting flies]'' Ah, stupid stinkin' nature! :'''Rex:''' You're a monkey. It's the jungle. :'''Bobo:''' Lemme tell ya somethin', chief. The jungle's a cruel mistress. One day, you're at the top of banana pile. Next day, you're a pile of peels rottin' in the sun. She'll chew ya up and spit ya out. Never forget that! Never forget! :'''Rex:''' O-kay, then. Good to know. :'''Six:''' I understand your point, doctor, but the fact remains we've got no idea what Rylander's agenda is. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' His motives don't make his research any less valuable. If I can get my hands on that nanite agent, I might be able to reverse-engineer a permanent cure. Think about what that could mean to the world, for the EVOs Rex can't cure... Like my sister. :'''Six:''' See anything interesting? :'''Bobo:''' ''[in distance]'' Never forget! :'''Rex:''' Don't ask. :'''Six:''' Listen, Rex, this mission-- I need to make sure your head is in the game. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? :'''Six:''' Answers about your past and whether or not this Rylander has them. :'''Rex:''' ''[scoffs]'' Whatever. You know, if he does, he does. If he doesn't, no big deal. I can handle it. :'''Six:''' It's just that... Sometimes knowing the truth can be worse than not knowing at all. :'''Rex:''' What's down there? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' No idea. :'''Bobo:''' Whatever it is, it's got company! Show-off. :'''Rex:''' Sushi-boat special coming up! :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Six:''' Holiday, get us out of here-- Now. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a dead end. :'''Six:''' Full throttle. Head for the shoreline. Rex! Jump! :'''Rex:''' Amazon river-- Never a dull moment. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander's welcoming committee, no doubt. Gentlemen, if you will. :''[Skalamander and Biowulf grunts]'' :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' It's fortunate there are other ways to sustain me. :'''Six:''' Guardian drone. We must be getting close. :'''Rex:''' Impressive observation, there, Six. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Previous electromagnetic imaging puts the compound in this general region, but something's jamming the frequency now. I can't get an exact location. :'''Rex:''' That way. Oh, yeah. I'm just that good. :'''Bobo:''' When you find me an ice-cold drink in this miserable armpit, I'll eat your ticks. :'''Rex:''' ''[Preparing to cut through some vines]'' I got this. You protect Holiday. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday cuts through the vines]'' Worry about yourselves! Howler monkeys. They're going to give away our location. :'''Rex:''' Bobo! Do something! :'''Bobo:''' Like I speak howler monkey? Oh, boy. :'''Six:''' Run! :'''Rex:''' I'll try and shut it down. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you okay? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Hey... You know me. A day without getting blown up is like a day without sunshine. :'''Six:''' You've been quiet. :'''Rex:''' All right, I've been thinking about it, okay? This Dr. Rylander may finally be proof I'm not alone in this world. :'''Six:''' And if it's not? I just don't want you to be disappointed. Six to White. :'''White Knight:''' What's your status? Have you found the location? :'''Six:''' Affirmative. But it seems we've been beaten to the punch. :'''White Knight:''' Understood. Captain Calan... You have a go. :'''Biwoulf:''' It should be here. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Your eyes deceive you, Biowulf. :'''Rex:''' Should have been aiming at you. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ahh. Providence at last. Traveling light, I see. :'''Rex:''' Oh, we're just here to find the place. They're here to secure it. :'''Six:''' Is it here? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Destroy them! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The compound's surrounded by a force field. :'''White Knight:''' If you can't secure that base, we will take it out. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't lose that formula. :'''Six:''' Rex, get in there. We'll hold off the pack. :'''Rex:''' Please don't blow me up. :'''Biowulf:''' Master, you are in no condition for battle. Seek cover. :'''Rex:''' Punks. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[From behind Rex with a gun]'' Don't move, or I'll drop you. Rex? Is-- Is that you? :''[Dr. Rylander hugs Rex]'' :'''Rex:''' You... Know my name. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[Laughing]'' Of course I do! I gave it to you! I can't believe you're alive. What a stroke of luck. :'''Rex:''' Dad? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You've lost your memory, haven't you? Not surprising, considering what you've been through. Oh. Yes. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Rex. I'm afraid I'm not who you want me to be. :'''Rex:''' Oh. Okay. So, if you're not my dad, do you know where he is? Ah, well, "Rex Rylander" is a goofy name, anyway. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Come quickly. We don't have much time. I was so close to completing the code. There's been a problem with the molecular penetration, resulting in a sequencing gap. :'''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander, I've got to know. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You must understand-- It was never about power or greed. It was about changing the world-- Saving mankind by putting and end to disease and starvation. And we would have succeeded... Until they got involved. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' The nanites were incomplete. The incident spread them across the globe before we could finish their final programming. Except for you. Yours were from a different batch-- The first, actually. All those... Innocent victims. :'''Rex:''' If you feel so bad about it, why have you been attacking more people? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Hm. The chosen few. Those men and women, Rex, are far from innocent. While they hide in their office towers and gated estates, I've been here trying to set things right, to find a cure for what we created. I begged them for more funding. :'''Rex:''' Wait! Everyone you attacked was... They all worked on the Nanite Project? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' They commissioned it. I merely wished to send them a warning to show them what would happen if they refused to help finish the good work we started. And it was good, Rex. You're living proof that we were doing the right thing. :'''Rex:''' ''[Indignant]'' By turning me into an EVO?! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' You had an accident. The nanites were your only hope. It was a tremendous gamble. The... Unexpected side effects came later. It was a surprise to all of us. :''[Dr. Rylander chuckles]'' :''Dr. Rylander:''' The look on your brother's face. :'''Rex:''' Brother? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' When the event occurred, it was yo powers that saved you both. Most of the others-- They weren't so lucky. :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' I'm not alone. :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Oh, here. I have something for you. :''[Injects the mighty and all-powerful Omega Nanite into his system]'' :'''Rex:''' Ow! :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' The force-field must be failing. :'''Rex:''' Forget the force-field! What did you just inject me with? :'''Dr. Rylander:''' ''[[w:Omnipotence |Everything]]''. :'''Rex:''' Enough, okay?! Do you have any idea what it's been like-- Not knowing who I am, if my family's dead or alive?! Quit with the rambling mad-scientist act and give me some answers! :'''Dr. Rylander:''' Forgive me, Rex. I've been so consumed with my own guilt, I didn't consider what you must be going through. The truth is-- :''[Dr. Rylander gasps]'' :''[Van Kleiss stabs Rylander from behind]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Truth, doctor? You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Nor loyalty, for that matter. How many times must I tell you this, Rex? The answers you so desperately seek lie with me. And as for you, doctor, consider our past disagreement settled. I look forward to continuing our research... Alone. This was unavoidable, Rex. The longer you resist me, the more people get hurt. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss grunting]'' :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rylander has always been on borrowed time.

Where's Rylander? :'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Six:''' The reactor is shot. This entire place is about to blow. :'''Bobo:''' Don't have to tell me twice. :'''Biowulf:''' Why do they run? :'''Skalamander:''' Where is Van Kleiss? :'''Six:''' No, I didn't see what happened. But according to Rex, Van Kleiss has been eliminated. Rylander's experiment is a total loss. :'''Holiday:''' All of this for nothing. I'm sorry, Rex. :'''Rex:''' It wasn't for nothing, doc. I've got a brother.... Out there... Somewhere. I'm not alone anymore. Finally, I've started to get some real answers. I feel closer to the truth than ever. ===The Forgotten=== :'''Six:''' Rex! :'''Rex:''' It's like I'm hearing through my nanites. <hr width80%> :'''No-Face:''' You are not the Before. :'''Rex:''' I'm not sure that was a complete sentence back then. :'''No-Face:''' ''They'' are the Before!

Van Kleiss is gone and I intend to keep it that way!! : '''Biowulf:''' You destroyed us all!! : '''Six:''' Don't even breathe. <hr width80%> : '''Circe:''' You don't know what you've done. : '''Rex:''' Then, I guess we're even. : '''Circe:''' You've never understood his power. Van Kleiss kept us safe here. His force was the only thing keeping Abysus together, and you destroyed that. : '''Rex:''' We're done here!! : '''Holiday:''' Rex, I think she's right. Nanites operate on a molecular level. If they bonded with Van Kleiss, breaking off his connection must have caused a splinter; resulting in a disastrous chain reaction. : '''Rex:''' I'm ''not'' bringing him back! ''Not now, not ever!!''

''[Rex and Bobo topple each other in a play fight while Knight continues to monologue in his office]'' Still, who would’ve thought the kinder, gentler approach would do such wonders for our profile. The notion of a cure has gotten Providence funding, and worldwide prestige. The committee's happy. Your new partner may just be the best thing this operation could have asked for. Funny, isn’t it? Because of you I can never leave this chamber. I’m now the only pure human left in the world. And the perfect poster boy to run this operation. I suppose I should thank you. :'''Six:''' I promised him that we would help uncover his past; find his family. :'''White Knight:''' Whatever keeps him on his leash. But if he shows the slightest sign of turning into thing again, it's all on you. :''[Back at the party in the present, Noah is pinned down by Bobo with a bag on his head to Rex’s amusement.]'' :'''Rex:''' Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh my—hold him down, I’ll get the camera! ''[Rex runs to his room, and after a quick search he instead finds a long box on a corner shelf]'' :'''Six:''' Happy birthday. ''[Six walks into his room, officially greeting Rex]'' :'''Rex:''' From you? For me? You gotta be kidding. :'''Six:''' You, your work. It has made a real difference. I just—- :'''Rex:''' Yeah, I know I’m pretty great! But seriously get off the sap train, Six. It’s creeping me out. ''[Rex opens the gift to reveal the blade inside]'' Wow, Six! Thank you! :'''Six:''' It’s called a tanto. It’s the ceremonial blade of a samurai warrior. :'''Rex:''' Samurai? Awesome. :'''Six:''' ''[Six unsheathes his own tanto and holds it against Rex’s]'' This is its twin. :'''Rex:''' ''[Rex removes the cap from his tanto and squints at the symbol etched into the blade]'' Is that...writing? :'''Six:''' Bushido symbol of loyalty. It means whether for good or ill, our fates will follow the same path. This one stays with me. :'''Rex:''' Think this thing can cut through Holiday’s chocolate cake? :'''Six:''' ''[Six raises an eyebrow]'' Anything’s possible. :''[Rex puts the cap back on to the blade and camera cuts to outside of Providence headquarters, panning outward until screen fades to black.]'' ===Badlands=== :'''Gatlocke:''' Do you like rules? :'''Rex:''' Can't say I do. <hr width80%> :'''Gatlocke:''' Feel that? It's quilted. This is the good kind. But I won't be able to really enjoy in ''until I have those nanites!'' <hr width80%> ===Out of the Dark=== :''Note'': Rex's love interest and sweetheart Circe appears in a vision. ===Payback=== :''[In the realm of Abysus]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Humiliated... De-powered... All but destroyed. Hardly the new world I set out to build, is it? :'''Biowulf:''' Master, a spy has made contact. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Well? :'''Providence Spy:''' Everything is in place. :'''Van Kleiss:''' And the boy? :'''Providence Spy:''' He's here. :'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[to his loyal followers]'' Soon our greatest enemy will be buried! Providence itself will be destroyed. And we'll have Rex to thank. :'''Rex:''' Come on! Who's gonna know? :'''Noah:''' Yeah. It would only be for a minute or two. :'''Calan:''' You actually want me to let you fly the keep? :''[Calan sighs]'' :'''Calan:''' Only until the next course change. And nothing fancy. :'''Rex:''' All right, let's see what this baby can really do! Why, it wasn't me! Seriously! :'''Both:''' Whoa! :'''Providence Spies:''' Aah! :'''White Knight:''' Calan, what's your status? :'''Calan:''' Came from out of nowhere. We're being boarded. Scramble all jump jets. Mobilize for a counter-offensive. :'''White Knight:''' This is a coordinated attack. Every major Providence outpost around the globe has been hit. :'''Six:''' So far they've steered clear of headquarters. I'm on route to the keep now. :'''Rex:''' Are they really that stupid? Attacking the keep with me on board? This should only take a minute. :'''Noah:''' Wait up! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Find Rex. It goes without saying "alive" would be ideal. Take the ship. :'''Providence Spy:''' Some kind of power surge. We're losing control of the helm! :'''Calan:''' Find out where it's coming from. Doc, if you'll excuse me-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six? :'''Six:''' Five minutes out. Prepare for an evac. I'm getting you off the ship. :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Noah:''' Again with the Smack Hands? You always open with that move. Change it up a little! :'''Both:''' Whoa! :'''Bobo:''' You see what you get? That's what happens when you interrupt my nap-- Bobo gets cranky! :'''Rex:''' I learned that the hard way, too. :'''Calan:''' All hands-- We've got intruders on deck four, five, and six. Get'em off our ship! :'''Rex:''' Go! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Attention, Providence. The ship is ours. :'''Rex:''' Ugh! Not even close, Van Kleiss! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Lay down your weapons, and your lives will be spared. Continue to resist and nothing survives. :'''Rex:''' You've made I made some lame-o moves before, Van Kleiss, but this one-- classic. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Seems you may have run out of tricks. Oh, you had to know it would only be a matter of time. I've had a fair amount of time on my hands these days. ''[Restrains Rex with his gauntlet]'' :'''Rex:''' Aaaaah! :'''Van Kleiss:''' You took something very precious from me, Rex, and now I'll be returning the favor. :'''Rex:''' If you want my monkey, you can forget it. :''[Van Kleiss starts draining nanites from Rex, causing him to squirm and scream in pain.]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' It might come as a surprise that when you stole the nanites that gave my power, you left some of your behind-- Enough to tell me a few of what makes you tick. :''[Rex tries to summon a build, but nothing happens.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ungh! :''[Rex grunting]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You'll find that using your powers will be something of a challenge. The nanites that you so special belong to me now. :'''Biowulf:''' What shall I do with him, master? :'''Van Kleiss:''' I have everything I need from him. I could care less. Secure the rest of the ship. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Come on! Do you really think throwing me out that hatch is the best way to get rid of me? Wouldn't it be more fun to throw me in a cage, tie me down in front of a laser? :'''Biowulf:''' No! :'''Rex:''' Aaaaaaaah! Wh-o-o-o-o-oa! :'''Noah:''' What is he doing? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This is no time to fool around, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Happened to notice that ground coming up on his, doc? If you don't do something fast, I'm about to become part of it! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, are you okay? :'''Rex:''' I think we may have a problem. :'''White Knight:''' What do you mean "they have the keep"?! Blow it up! :'''Six:''' We tried. The remote-destruct sequence has been disabled. Van Kleiss has complete control of it. :'''White Knight:''' Give me some good news. :'''Six:''' We know where it's heading. Here. :'''Biowulf:''' This is the commanding officer. We found him attempting to destroy this ship. :'''Calan:''' What's your game, Van Kleiss? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, a very good question-- One that depends entirely on what happens next, Captain. It seems my powers have made a slight... change. :'''Rex:''' Well? They're gone, aren't they? Van Kleiss took all my active nanites. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. I found this. Definitely a nanite, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Molecular scans seems to indicate it's some kind of control-nanite. :'''Rex:''' But with nothing to control. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' With a large enough concentration of nanites, we might be able to jump-start it. But even with that, there's no guarantee it would replicate or even give you back the same abilities. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I hate to say it, but this one has me stumped. :'''Rex:''' Great. Loving this. :'''White Knight:''' If you're finished with the lost cause, we've got a bigger problem. :'''Biowulf:''' Master, how is this possible? :'''Van Kleiss:''' It would seem Rex's nanites have an opposite effect on me. He cured EVOs. Now I create them. Full ahead-- Ramming speed! Once we're through, we'll destroy Providence from the inside out. :'''White Knight:''' Lock it down! I want hallways cleared and critical sections defended. They will not take this base. :'''Rex:''' Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go stop them! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, you're in no condition to fight. :'''Rex:''' Well, what do you expect me to do-- Hide? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Whatever it takes. That nanite inside you might be able to bring you back, but it's going to take me time to figure out how. And that's not something we have a lot of right now. :'''Rex:''' Wow. Nice outfit. :'''Noah:''' Got one for you, too. You get to armor up like the rest of us normals. :'''Rex:''' Come on. :'''Bobo:''' All right, where to? :'''Rex:''' South Pacific. :'''Bobo:''' That's my boy. And here I thought you'd try to pull some hero stunt. Oh, brother. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I want the White Knight. Find where he's hiding and bring him to me. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That should be everything, as long as the offsite backup holds. :'''Six:''' Don't let it get to that. :'''Noah:''' This is a strange place for a base. :'''Rex:''' When I have too many nanites in me, this is where I go to offload. :'''Bobo:''' Think of it as a nanite porta-potty. :'''Noah:''' Thanks... For that image, Bobo. So, we just put some of these nanites in you, and we're good to go? :'''Rex:''' No. They're inactive. Or at least stripped of their programming. Since I can't control them, I just have to hope that whatever this thing is inside me can't. :'''Noah:''' So... What happens if it can't? :'''Bobo:''' Let me put it this way-- The last guy who went swimmin' in that soup ended up a 50-foot freak show. :'''White Knight:''' Listen to me carrefully, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I'd rather not. :'''White Knight:''' Where are they? :'''Six:''' The inner perimeter has been compromised. They're coming. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! Ungh! :''[Skalamander roars]'' :''[Skalamander roars]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Open it. :'''Rex:''' Okay. Bobo, set the thing to "vent" and go. If this doesn't work, I don't want you getting caught in the blast. :'''Bobo:''' No. :'''Noah:''' Forget it. Rex, at least think about his for a sec. What if it wipes your memory? What it turns you into some evil monster? :'''Rex:''' My friends need me. There's nothing more to think about. Bobo, do it. :'''Bobo:''' Long odds, pay big. :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Six:''' You've overstayed your welcome. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, here's someone who would make a nice addition to our EVO ranks. :'''Six:''' Go ahead and try. Ugh! :''[Six groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Trying to do my job for me, Six? Here's a thought-- When your top henchman can't even get rid of someone by throwing him out of a moving plane, time to rethink the help. :'''Van Kleiss:''' You are determined-- I'll give you that. If it's what you prefer, I'll finish you myself. :'''Rex:''' Maybe. :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Cool! :'''Bobo:''' See? I told you it would work. :'''Six:''' This is an unexpected surprise. :'''Rex:''' Well, by now, you should expect the unexpected from me, Six. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh! :''[Skalamander roars]'' :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Noah:''' Is that what I think it is? :'''Bobo:''' Not anymore. :'''Noah:''' You think there might be more of them? :'''Bobo:''' Eh... Probably. :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :''[Biowulf growls]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Aaaaaaah! :'''White Knight:''' I use that electromagnet to trap stray nanites. You're lucky it's on the lowest setting. Any higher, and it would rip the nanites right out of your body. :''[Biowulf grunts]'' :'''Biowulf:''' Then why don't you? :'''White Knight:''' Because then I wouldn't be able to do this. :'''Skalamander:''' No one can help you. You're all alone now. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not exactly. We still have my sister. :''[Skalamander grunting]'' :''[Rex and Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Aaaaah! :'''Rex:''' No way! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ungh! :'''Rex:''' Once again, epic fail. I'll take my nanites back now. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! :'''Noah:''' Rex, wait! :'''Bobo:''' Van Kleiss left behind a few presents. :'''Rex:''' No time to look everywhere. I'm shutting everything down. :'''Noah:''' You can do that? :'''Rex:''' Don't know. Never tried. Anything else? No? :'''Calan:''' Whew! I never want to do that again. No, sir. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Amazing. :'''Rex:''' Why, thank you. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I was talking about the nanites. That was a risky move, Rex, but it worked. As far as I can tell, you're back to your old self. :'''Rex:''' I don't know. Something feels different. That new build-- I think I can do even more. It's like I can see the blueprints. I just need to figure out how to put it all together. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight in person. Never thought I'd see the day. :'''White Knight:''' Well, don't get used to it. We found all the explosives. The base and the keep will need extensive repairs. This was not our finest hour. :'''Rex:''' What are you talking about? We kicked butt! So what if Van Kleiss is back and more powerful than ever? So am I! If he wants a nanite war, let him bring it! :''[White Knight laughs]'' :'''White Knight:''' It's good to have your back, Rex. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You know, I think he actually means it. :'''Rex:''' Sure he does. So, tell me something, guys-- What's next? ==Season Two (2011)== ===Rampage=== :'''Rex:''' I'll give you the recap. Thanks to these microscopic machines called nanites, I can build cool gear out of my body. I'm what's called an EVO. But most EVOs aren't lucky like me. They usually look like this. ''[Chuckling]'' I know what you're thinking. And they smell bad, too. There's one other thing I can do that makes me even more special. Some EVOs, I can cure. That's why I work for Providence. We're the people you call when an evo is tearing up your lawn or attacking a city. And the worst of them is this guy-- Van Kleiss. The last time we fought, things got a little out of hand. I'll admit it-- We pretty much got our tails handed to us. He steals the key, wrecks headquarters, hijacks my nanite to get back the powers I took away from him. And now he can actually make people into EVOs. Then, to top it off, he has his dog boy Biowulf throw me, overboard at 6,000 feet. Not that anyone's keeping score. Sure, Van Kleiss may be back, but so am I. So what if he can make EVOs? I can still cure them. He may have new powers, but guess what-- I do, too. Ever since my powers came back, I've got the ability to make amazing new machines. Now I just have to figure out how to build more. If you're trying to check up on me, Six, the answer's still a big fat... ''[imitates buzzer]'' I can't figure out how to make this new build. :'''Six:''' It might take some time, but you'll get it. :'''Rex:''' And meanwhile, Van Kleiss is out there doing who knows what. I wish they'd hurry up and get the H.Q. Rebuilt. You're not still living out of your jump jet like some ninja hobo, are you? :'''Six:''' My temporary accommodations are perfectly adequate. :'''Rex:''' Yep. Still living in the jet. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I hate being kicked out of our house. Although, as long as they're building stuff, I need a hot tub. :''[Carmen gasps]'' :'''Carmen:''' Madre! Estas viva! Como puede ser? :'''Carmen's mother:''' No querida. Soy la prima gemela diabolica de tu madre. :'''Noah:''' What are you watching? :'''Rex:''' Cultural enrichment! Later on, we find out if Dr. Suarez chooses Isabel, or her evil half sister, Ana Maria. :'''Carmen:''' Pero, como va supremivir esto nuesta familia. :'''Carmen's mother:''' Con mucho dolor, vengaza y arrepentimiento. :'''Noah:''' If you're gonna stay with me while they're rebuilding Providence, at least don't flaunt the fact that you don't have a pre-calculus test in three days. :'''Rex:''' Pre-wha? :'''Noah:''' Exactly my point. And when I agreed to this, I wasn't expecting the sidekick, too. :'''Bobo:''' Hey, pally, we're a package deal. Live with it. :''[Noah gasps]'' :'''Noah:''' Was that a toenail? Can I just get hit by a toenail?! :'''Rex:''' What's your deal? :'''Noah:''' Aah! Get one in my mouth! Ugh! :'''Rex:''' Okay, that is gross. Bobo, bad monkey. I thought this would be fun. :''[Noah scoffs]'' :'''Noah:''' For you, maybe. I'll get a real life, too, you know. As much as I want it to be, it can't be all fun and games all the time, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Why not? Worse for me. :'''Noah:''' Hey, I like adventure as much as the next guy, but I still have to pass math. :'''Rex:''' You're not going to fail math. You have like the fourth highest GPA in your class. :'''Noah:''' It used to be third. :'''Rex:''' And ten years from now, nobody's going to care. Hey doc, miss me? Huh? Oh. A situation. Really? Awesome! Nope. I'm not doing anything. Be right there. I'm gonna go pound some EVO into submission. Wanna come? :'''Noah:''' You're serious? :'''Rex:''' No. That would be you. Have fun with that math. :'''Noah:''' Save the world or a chance at a scholarship? All right! I'm coming! :'''Rex:''' Now see? It's a lot more fun when you just let go. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you hold that thing still? :'''Rex:''' Dibs! That's a whole lot of agents for one EVO, doc. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They weren't here for the EVO. That ship is carrying the new power core for Providence headquarters. This thing just happened to show up when we started to offload it. :''[Dr. Holiday grunting]'' :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! :''[Rex straining]'' :'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss! :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' Did you see the mark? Van Kleiss made that one. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why else do you think I've been trying to get a sample from it? :'''Rex:''' I don't know-- Just being science-y? Ugh! :'''Bobo and Noah:''' Yeah! :'''Rex:''' Does that work for you? :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Aah! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It'll do. Got it. We can cure it now. :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Aah! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Unless you like getting thrown around like that. :'''Noah:''' No hurry. This is great. :'''Bobo and Noah:''' Ew! :''[Dock worker grunts]'' :'''Dock worker:''' What hit me? :'''Rex:''' That would be me. :'''Six:''' You work here? :'''Dock worker:''' What do you think, mister? Ahh, my back. :'''Rex:''' Yep. Sorry. Was trying, you know, not to die. If he works at the dock, that must mean Van Kleiss was here. :'''Noah:''' Actually, I think he still is. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They're after the power core. :'''Rex:''' All this for a battery? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Not just a battery. It could fuel a country the size of Abysus for a decade. :'''Rex:''' And it was going to be underneath my room?! Excuse me. Out of the way! Coming through! I was wondering when you and your hair would show up again, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Back to your old self again, I see. And how are those new abilities developing? :'''Rex:''' Just fine. Thanks for asking. Here's what I bet you're thinking, "did we really think this plan through? Was using some poor dude as a decoy the best move?" :'''Van Kleiss:''' I suppose only time will tell. Not as strong as you thought. :'''Rex:''' Not yet. That time I really thought I had it, okay? Ohh! :'''Noah:''' How awesome was that? :'''Rex:''' What part-- You clobbering Van Kleiss or Van Kleiss clobbering me? :'''Noah:''' Well, both, actually. :'''Rex:''' Hold on. I need a second to think of a really good dig. :''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' :'''Rex:''' Why are you smiling? We just owned you. It's over, Van Kleiss. You lose! :'''Noah:''' That was the best you could come up with. "You lose"? :'''Rex:''' That one didn't count. He caught me off guard with the whole smiling thing, okay? :'''Van Kleiss:''' You'd be wise to consider delaying your celebration for the moment, Rex. You're about to have your hands quite full. :'''Rex:''' Oh, really? And how do you figure that? :'''Noah:''' Aah! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Here's the part where you must be thinking, "did I think this plan through?" :'''Rex:''' Noah! :''[Noah growls]'' :'''Rex:''' Are you nuts?! Stop it! :'''Six:''' Stand down! :'''Rex:''' Take it easy, Noah. You're going to be okay. This will all be over in a second. Great. Just great. :'''Six:''' Go! :'''Rex:''' Noah, if you can still understand me, when I said you should let things go, this isn't exactly what I meant. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Headache. It should be about balance, you know? Take care of the important stuff, but leave room for a little fun. Right now! Too much fun! :''[Rex screaming]'' :'''Rex:''' Wh-o-o-o-oa! Everything's fine. Not a problem. :'''Six:''' If you can't stop him, it's going to be. :'''Rex:''' You know, Six, you really need to learn to think positive. :''[Diane Farrah and Reporter gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Stupid grin. It's like it's all just a game to him. :'''Determined grandmother:''' I know you! :'''Rex:''' Yeah, uh, thanks, but-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' You're that "tex" kid from Providence. :'''Rex:''' Oh, Rex. Ma'am, this really isn't-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' I have a bone to pick with Providence. Do you realize how awful it's been? :''[Rex chuckles]'' :'''Rex:''' Funny story, he's actually my friend, so as soon as I can catch him-- :'''Determined grandmother:''' Every single night, someone moves my glasses. I leave them on the nightstand, and when I wake up, they're on the dresser! :'''Rex:''' Glasses? :'''Determined grandmother:''' There's got to be an EVO in my house. Some of them only come out at night, you know. :'''Rex:''' Uh-huh. :'''Determined grandmother:''' Now, I keep calling you people, but no one will give me the time of day over there. So, you tell me-- How am I supposed to feel safe when there is an EVO in my apartment?! :'''Rex:''' Here. First number on speed dial. :'''Determined grandmother:''' He's eating the cat food, too! :'''Bobo:''' That friend of yours is a walking disaster. I'm starting to like the kid. :'''Six:''' We'll get this. Go. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me? :'''Rex:''' A little busy right now, doc. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Then I'll make it quick. The active nanites Van Kleiss create are highly unstable. If Noah isn't cured soon, his condition will be permanent. :'''Rex:''' How long do I have? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's probably different for each infected person, but I calculate less than an hour. :'''Rex:''' Noah, you have to listen to me. If I don't change you back, this is not going to turn out well. Please. Let me help you. No! No! Thanks a lot, guys! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Noah, I'm serious! Stop playing around! :''[Rex screams]'' :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' This isn't a game, Noah! Huh. Maybe it should be. Okay, Noah. I give up! You're it! Better not be another train. All right! :''[Noah roaring]'' :'''Rex:''' Aw, no. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Well, what do you know? I'm "it" again. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, any luck? :'''Rex:''' Yep. I got him. Stand by. This isn't going to hurt. I promise. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? :'''Rex:''' I'm too late. I don't believe this. My best friend's an EVO forever-- And not even a cool EVO. He's the annoying, breaks-stuff kind. :''[Noah belches]'' :'''Rex:''' Ugh! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Actually, Rex, it might not be Noah. Your biometrics have flat-lined. :'''Rex:''' All that running around. He just wore me out. Did you hear that? It's me, not you. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' Just give me a minute. :''[Noah roaring]'' :'''Rex:''' Noah, don't even-- No, no, no, no, no. No! No! I don't believe this. You really need a hobby, Van Kleiss. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I thought we could settle things without distraction. Here is as good a place as any. :'''Rex:''' I already kicked your butt once today. Ready to go again? :'''Van Kleiss:''' The question is, are you? It's hardly a fair fight. :'''Rex:''' Oh. Then I promised to go easy on you. What? You think I don't have my powers or something? I'm about to give you the pounding of the century! Come on, powers. Please come back! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than come after me all the time? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Funny you should ask. :'''Rex:''' Doc? How are those biometrics looking now? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Give it a try. :'''Rex:''' Ah, yeah! It's about time! Machines work. I just hope the important part does. :'''Noah:''' What just happened? :'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? :'''Noah:''' It all kind of hazy. I mostly remember the feeling of... Fun. And I remember you punching me in the face. :'''Rex:''' Yeah. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying to eat me. Come on. We've got a rat to catch. Why so happy? Is this the part where breach shows up and rescues you? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, no. This is the part where she takes your inadequately guarded fuel core. :'''Six:''' Six to post, what's your status? Six to post. :'''Rex:''' Another decoy? :'''Van Kleiss:''' I should share some of the credit with your friend over here. He played the part to perfection. :'''Noah:''' Gee, thanks. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, this would be the part where Breach shows up. :'''Noah:''' I can't believe I did all this. Sounds like I had the time of my life. :'''Rex:''' ''[laughing]'' It almost became your life. Sorry about that. :'''Noah:''' Are you kidding? Just knowing I was a rampaging EVO is cool. I wish I could have remembered at least some of it. :'''Rex:''' It's probably all over the news if you want a replay... At least until you stepped on the news van. :'''Noah:''' Well... ''[Exhales sharply]'' Guess it's back to quadratic equations. :'''Rex:''' I have no idea what those are. I've got somewhere I need to be. See you later. I know. I'm not supposed to be here. I don't care if it's a construction zone. I'm moving back. :'''Six:''' It's all right. Turns out you're not the only one who feels that way. You'll get used to the cold showers. Food, you're on your own. From the top? :'''Rex:''' From the top. :'''Six:''' What were you trying to build, anyway? :'''Rex:''' A water jet. Oh, by the way, I need a new cellphone. :'''Six:''' Yes? :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' It's after my glasses again. :'''Six:''' Glasses? :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' This time I am serious. Now, when are you going to send someone out here? :'''Six:''' Ma'am, I'm... :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' Do you even work for Providence? :'''Six:''' Yes, I work for Providence. :'''Determined grandmother:''' ''[through phone]'' What kind of a flimflam outfit is this? :'''Six:''' How did you get this number? ===Wasteland=== ===Tough Love=== ===The Lost Weekend=== :'''Kenwyn:''' What did you to Skwydd? :'''Mouse:''' Just shedding a light light on how dangerous his kind can be. :'''Rex:''' By juicing his powers? What were you thinking? :'''Mouse:''' Most inorganic material explodes when given that kind of molecular jolt, but not not nanites. They convert the energy into power that amplifies an E.V.O.'s abilities to tremendously uncontrollable levels. ===Star-Crossed=== ===Alliance=== :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' And he brought his Pack flunkies. Biowulf, Skalamander, Breach. Circe? Gotta hurry. Their headed straight for... someplace else. Gonna find out where. <hr width80%> :'''Holiday:''' Rex why aren't you fixing that shield regulator? :'''Rex:''' Hint. You may remember him from such schemes as destroying Providence headquarters, and trying to take over the entire Earth. :'''Holiday:''' Van Kliess, in there? You're right. You should investigate after you fix the shield. :'''Rex:''' Then it might be too late. :'''Holiday:''' She's there, isn't she? :'''Rex:''' Who? Breach? Yeah, but... :'''Holiday:''' A quick recon and that's it. <hr width80%> :'''Van Kleiss:''' Intriguing. An entire urban branch of EVO. development. :'''Biowulf:''' This place is a waste of our time. :'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss knows what he's doing. It's not your place to question. :'''Biowulf:''' Question?! You dare accuse me of disloyalty?! :'''Circe:''' Sorry. Get a grip! <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' You're right, you know. We should be down there with him. What is he up to anyway? :'''Biowulf:''' I do not know. :'''Circe:''' You don't know? I thought he trusted you with everything. :'''Biowulf:''' Of course he does! He just-- :'''Rex:''' Hey! Easy on the stealth suit, which apparently, isn't so stealthy. <hr width80%> :'''NoFace:''' Invaders have come before. They brought only pain. :'''Van Kleiss:''' It is a pain we both share. The same Providence outsides attacked my lands, destroyed my army. :'''NoFace:''' There was one who tormented us, humiliated us. The grower of machines. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Ah, Rex. Another thorn we share. My proposal is simple: You control a formidable legion. I, in turn, can provide the escape and the vengeance you seek. I can be your liberator. You can be my general. Together we will crush our enemies, starting with the one you hate most. Now are we-- :'''Biowulf:''' Master, I have a report. :'''Van Kleiss:''' ''[irritated]'' This is a private conversation. Can't you handle the sightest detail without bothering me? :'''Biowulf:''' Of course, Master. It was nothing. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Here comes the moment when our brave hero sweeps the girl of her feet! Literally! :'''Biowulf:''' Don't let him. :'''Circe:''' Hey! Let-- :'''Rex:''' ''[flies off with Circe in his arms]''' See you around, henchie! :'''Biowulf:''' ''[to Skalamander]'' Follow them. <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' Down, now! :'''Rex:''' Not till we hear each other out! :'''Circe:''' Sure! I'll go first. :''[Breaks the Bogie Pack with a hypersonic burst, causing them to fall]'' :'''Rex:''' Oh, great. Way to go, Circe. <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' ''[to himself]'' Our hero pursues the girl of his dreams, heedless of her attempts to break his heart... along with the rest of him. Circe, just one minute, okay? Look-No powers! :'''Circe:''' One minute! But if this is about leaving the Pack-- :'''Rex:''' Please. I'm way past that. There are bigger things going here than who you hang out with. :'''Circe:''' Fifty seconds! :'''Rex:''' I wasn't sent here to spy on you. I'm here to stop these things from ever getting out. :'''Circe:''' Forty! Why are you telling me this? You know who I am! :'''Rex:''' You've seen the things that live here. Whatever deal you think Van Kleiss is making, it's going to turn out bad for everyone. :'''Circe:''' Thirty seconds! :'''Rex:''' I do know who you are, Circe. Just for once think for yourself. Maybe your perfect leader could actually be wrong, maybe even a bit crazy, nuts, certifiably insane! : '''Circe:''' Shut up! Twenty! Talk about blinded. Did you ever wonder why Van Kleiss is so interested in you? :'''Rex:''' Oh, I don't know. Maybe he wants me dead? :'''Circe:''' Not anymore. Something has changed, Rex. Ever since you got your powers back, I hear him talking. Saying you have something that's the key to everything. For whatever reason, he needs you alive. I know it, Rex. He'd never let you be killed. :'''Rex:''' Never, huh? :'''Circe:''' Time's up! <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' Now this looks like a party. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Rex, you never cease to amaze me. <hr width80%> :'''No-Face:''' Defiler! Give him to us! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now do you believe I can deliver what I say? Will yoh agree to my leadership? :'''No-Face:''' We agree to it! Give him to us! Now! Now! Now! :'''Circe:''' ''[very shocked]''' Van Kleiss, I didn't bring Rex here so that you could-- He'll kill him! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Never forget how I found you, Circe. What you were... before. He's yours. :''[Tears well up in Circe's eyes; thoroughly horrified that her master would calmly allow Rex's life to be put at risk]'' <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' ''[weakly]''' Is this what you wanted? :''[Collapses from his inquiries, causing Circe to open her eyes]'' :'''Circe''' ''[tearful, pleading]'': Stop this! Please! You need him alive! :'''Van Kleiss:''' Alive, yes. Heart pumping, lungs breathing, but his mind? The less there's left of that, the better. Circe, I warn you: Lift so much as a finger to help him, and you're finished! <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' You, Biowulf, even me. We're all just means to an end for him. He doesn't really care for any of us. :'''Rex:''' So you finally figured that out. Better late than never, I guess. :'''Circe:''' It's not too late! Not if I have anything to say about it! :''[Extends her fleshly and grotesque EVOs mouth]'' :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! Whoa! There are some of us who might not like the sound of whatever you're about to do! :'''Circe:''' I'll adjust the frequency to exclude friendly EVOs. :'''Bobo:''' Does that include me? :'''Circe:''' For now. :''[Uses her melodious, hypnotic singing to call back the EVOs escaping]'' :'''Rex:''' I thought you said you could filter it. :'''Circe:''' It's not an exact science. <hr width80%> :'''Circe:''' Van Kleiss. :'''Rex:''' Breach'll get him out... eventually. But right now he's in there, you're out here. You don't have a better opportunity to consider your options. :''[Notice the two of them holding hands and let go, blushing]'' :'''Bobo:''' What is it stealing from our own people that's so dang satisfying? :'''Circe:''' You forget to remove the tracker. I'm not going to Providence. :'''Rex:''' Doesn't matter where you go. All that matters is that you want to go there. That said. I hear Hong Kong's nice this time of year. ===Robo Bobo=== ===Divide By Six=== :'''One''': ''[Speaking through Rex]'' Six. :'''Six''': One? :'''One''': You left this place, quit life as a mercenary and so rarely returned to visit. :'''Six''': I did what I felt was right, I never meant to dishonor. :'''One''': So rarely, that I never had time to tell you how proud you've made me. :'''Six''': ''[Takes off his glasses for the first time in the series]'' We're going to help you. We're going to take you home. :'''One''': But Six, I am home. ''[Rex falls unconscious while One's body starts changing. Eventually his body dissolves and fertilizes the entire island to its former splendor]'' : '''Six:''' He's still One. He's just one with everything. ===Mixed Signals=== : '''Rex:''' Whoa, big guy! Someone needs to ease off on the cheeseburgers. : '''Six:''' Skip the insults. Start the containment. : '''Rex:''' Like its feelings are going to get hurt. One bad and ugly going down. What? : '''Six:''' Rex? Rex! : '''Rex:''' Cool! : '''Six:''' You want to explain this? : '''Rex:''' I don't know. It's like some weird vision of this thing filled my head, then built itself out of me. Maybe the vision came from Blobbo. Maybe it's trying to talk to me. Come on, big boy. Send me some more pictures. What's on your mind? : '''Six:''' Groceries. That's what's on its mind. : '''Rex:''' I'm skipping. I'm over it. That vision must have been a fluke. : '''Six:''' All right, then. We're going with a two-prong attack. Use caution. This kind of EVO might be a splitter. Rex! Snap out of it! : '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! Ha! I wasn't supposed to do that, right? : '''Six:''' Rex, I want you back at HQ. : '''Rex:''' But I feel okay now. And we've got, um-- Two blobs to put down. : '''Six:''' Now! : '''Holiday:''' No trace of any recent electrochemical or DNA abnormalities. Everything reads normal. : '''Rex:''' But it's like the visions were being transmitted, and I was seeing it from a nanite point of view. : '''Holiday:''' I can't track it, Rex. There's no sign of signal displacement or a nano disturbance. Maybe we should consider the possibility that this is psychological. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Pizza. : '''Holiday:''' I think he's having another vision. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Of lunch? : '''Rex:''' With pineapple and salmon. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Blech! He is nuts. : '''Holiday:''' Aside from a strange choice in pizza toppings, all readings are normal. I can't explain it. : '''Rex:''' Well, if my nanites are trying to get me to build something, maybe we should give them what they want. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Whatever it is, I'm not eating it. Is that my electric toothbrush? : '''Rex:''' It better not be the one I've been using. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Oh. : '''Rex:''' This is what I'm seeing in my head. As stupid as it looks. It's like someone or something is sending me instructions to build some big device. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Or build a pizza with pineapple and salmon. : '''Rex:''' Okay. I'm not sure about that vision. : '''Holiday:''' Is that my hairdryer? : '''Rex:''' I just need to figure out what it does. Maybe it's a time machine. Or-- Or alien technology! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Maybe it's just a big pile of junk. Or a way to order a really awful pizza. : '''Contraption Voice:''' Target acquired. : '''Holiday:''' Rex! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Wake up! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Provindece Soldier #1:''' Hey, where do you think you're going? We've got a security breach. Front floor. : '''Providence Soldier #2:''' Lockdown protocols enabled. All hands report to duty station. Security speed, take position. : '''Rex:''' Sorry, guys. I might be a little... late. : '''Caesar:''' Case compression. Release. : '''Rex:''' Figures I'd build a machine with a serious attitude problem. : '''Caesar:''' ''[taking off his helmet and turns to Rex]'' Rex, is that you? : '''Rex:''' Who’s asking? : '''Caesar:''' It’s me, Caesar, your brother! Mijo! ''[Hugs Rex]'' You're alive and... older. ''[Rex is dumbfounded]'' Uh. Atomic clock was right... ''[spanish accent]'' Es una problema grande. : '''Rex:''' Uh, yeah. ''[Pushes Caesar]'' It is a big problem. : '''Caesar:''' What is this place? Who are you people? ''[to Rex]'' I'm getting you out of here! : '''Bobo Haha:''' Sorry, amigo. Put your hands up. Or don't. I got a clear shot either way. : '''Caesar:''' ''[is looking at Bobo]'' A talking chimp? : '''Bobo Haha:''' Don't bother. I've heard all the jokes. : '''Caesar:''' Have they hurt you? Are you okay? Stand aside. : '''Rex:''' Hello? Do I get a say in this? : '''Holiday:''' If you're part of some elaborate plan to kidnap Rex, then you failed. : '''Caesar:''' Listen, bonita, you don't wanna make me use this. : '''Rex:''' ''[gets in between them]'' Enough! Normally around here when someone barges in talking crazy, they get around into the deck plates by my giant fists. But you seem legit. I'm going with him. : '''Holiday:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Okay, brother. Lead the way. So if you are my brother, where have you been all this time? : '''Caesar:''' I'll explain later when we're safe. : '''Rex:''' Uh, this is Providence. We are safe. Usually. : '''Caesar:''' Providence? Never heard of it. To be honest, the last five years has been a bit of a blur. : '''Rex:''' I want to believe you, but I'm gonna need some proof. : '''Caesar:''' Your name is Rex Salazar. Our parents are Violetta and Raphael. The last time I saw you was at the Applied Nanite Research Lab in Abysus; right before those fools triggered a replication cycle. : '''Rex:''' And I have total amnesia so, for all I know, that could be completely bogus. : '''Caesar:''' There's a scar on the back of your left knee you got when you were seven, riding the gantry arm in the reactor annex. : '''Rex:''' Hmm. I always wondered how I got that. :''[they go out and Rex notices Caesar Salazar's pod laboratory]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa. Nice wheels. : '''Six:''' ''[Comes out and unsheathed his swords]'' Don't even think about it. : ''[Caesar is about to attack but Rex stops him]'' : '''Rex:''' It's okay. Six isn't going to hurt you. Right, Six? You're comming in a little late on this, but, uh, this is Caesar, my brother, and he wants to get me out of here. So, let's just let my brother have his way and see where this all goes. Wherever you plan on going, they're going to follow us. You know that, right? : '''Caesar:''' They can try. : '''Rex:''' I don't know. Providence ship are pretty fast. : '''Six:''' Track Rex's bio signature and find out who that guy really is. : '''Rex:''' You ain't kidding. This thing moves fast. A-are we in the arctic? : '''Caesar:''' How do you think I got to your location so quickly once the locator signaled me? : '''Rex:''' Locator? You sent me the schematics to build that thing? It tried to crush me like a bug! : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, mijo. I wasn't really trying to hurt. ''[scans Rex's body]'' I was looking for what's hiding inside of you. ''[showing Rex the result]'' The Omega One Nanite. : '''Rex:''' That thing? Holiday discovered it before. We had no idea what it was. : '''Caesar:''' I sent signal instructions for the Omega One to track and contain. But since the nanite has integrated into your DNA, you became the conduit for building the machine. What I don't get is how the Omega One got inside of you. Rylander was supposed to have that under lock and key. : '''Rex:''' Rylander? He's the one who put it inside me. : '''Caesar:''' Why would he do a thing like that? I'm really gonna have to let old fool have it when I see him. : '''Rex:''' Not possible-- Courtesy of Van Kleiss. : '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss?! What does that third-rate lab hack have to do with this? : '''Rex:''' What? I guess I’m not the only one who needs an update. Where have you been? : '''Caesar:''' It's a long story-- actually, short by my clock. A splinter group had formed at the lab. They had other ideas about how the nanites would be used. We tried to stop them, and you were hurt. The only way to save your life was an infusion of nanites. It was risky, but it worked. We thought that'd be enough to stop the others, make them see the right path. But we were wrong. Mom and Dad were in the reactor. As for me, I managed to escape in my lab. But the shock wave, the same shock wave that probably blanked your memory.... also interfered with engine that powers this pod. I was stuck in sub-light drive. : '''Rex:''' How long? : '''Caesar:''' Fifteen minutes. That's how long it took me to reboot the system. But at the speed I was going, it was 5 years of your time. I knew there was an accident, but I had no idea how bad. My nanite sensors were off the charts. My 1st priority was to insure the OM-1 was safe. That was our promise. And here we are. So, what have I missed these past five years? : '''Rex:''' Providence? We need to talk. They can wait. : '''Caesar:''' So let me understand, there are EVOs and Van Kleiss claimed as their leader? : '''Rex:''' Well, not for all of them, yet. I want to know about me, about our parents. : '''Caesar:''' They were scientists. We lived all over the world. Things settled down when you came along. That was in Geneva. : '''Rex:''' Wait a second. Are you saying I'm Swiss? : ''Caesar:'' Not really. Mother was born in Mexico City. Father in Buenos Aires. : '''Rex:''' And they're really... gone? ''[Caesar slowly nods sadly]'' : '''Rex:''' Um, where exactly did this ship take us? : '''Caesar:''' What do you know?We're back at the original lab site. : '''Rex:''' You mean the one in Abysus? : '''Caesar:''' Is that a problem? : '''Rex:''' I'd say just a small one. We should go, like now. : '''Caesar:''' ''[typing]'' Hmm... Must be low on charge. ''[walks out the door]'' We may be stuck, but on the bright side, I can take a look at some of these variegated organisms. ''[goes out]'' : '''Rex:''' Caesar! Wait! : ''[outside and observing the EVOs]'' : '''Caesar:''' Fascinating. We theorized mutations might occur but never anything this random. : ''[Rex hits the EVO before they got near Caesar]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Sorry, bro, but these guys-- : ''[Rex hits another EVO]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Usually don't sit still for questions. : '''Caesar:''' ''[seeing Rex's new build]'' Hmm... That's new. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Guess I've learned a-- : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' A few tricks. But they still won't be enough if Van Kleiss shows up with all his goons. Six! : '''Six:'''We're locked onto you. The keep is already on its way. : '''Rex:''' Your ship may be out of juice, but I'm not. Hop on. I can get us out of here. : '''Caesar:''' I won't leave my lab, and you definitely don't want Van Kleiss getting his hands on some of the things in here. I'll try to reroute the capacitors to an alternate power source. : '''Caesar:''' Oh, you wanna see a photo of you, me, and papi? Maybe later. : '''Rex:''' You're a little off, aren't you, Caesar? : '''Biowulf:''' What was that machine it flew off with? : '''Van Kleiss:''' A laboratory. One I thought I'd never see again. It seems an old friend has returned-Caesar. : '''Rex:''' Providence isn't so bad now, eh, hermano? : '''Caesar:''' Is this a Grinnell? They always made good consoles, except for the random power surges. : '''Six:''' Well? : '''Rex:''' Everything's cool. He's a little kooky, but I'm pretty sure he's my brother. : '''Six:''' Glad to hear it. Now I need you back. We still have some unfinished business. : '''Rex:''' Got to get back to work. : '''Caesar:''' My little brother, the hero. I remember when you just wanted to be a musician. : '''Rex:''' Guitar? No, wait drums. : '''Caesar:''' Accordion. : '''Rex:''' You got to be kidding me! : '''Six:''' As I recall, you started it. : '''Rex:''' Huh? : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Six:''' The EVO is dividing faster than we can contain it. The city is being evacuated. : '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Excuse me, admiral. I need you to take me down there immediately. Afraid I'll have to insist. : '''Six:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Are you crazy?! : '''Caesar:''' Depends on who you ask. I had something in my lab that I thought could help. : '''Six:''' Help? You're not even supposed to be outside the keep. : '''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Way to go, bro! First day on the job, and you already got a save! : '''Six:''' Job? : '''Rex:''' Oh, come on, admit it, Six. He just saved our chicharrones. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' What? What's so funny? : '''Caesar:''' You always make me laugh when you try to speak Spanish. : '''Holiday:''' We've pulled his records, and I've confirmes his DNA. It seems Rex really does have a brother. : '''White Knight:''' If everything I've read about him is true, he could be an incredible asset to Providence. : '''Six:''' Or a major liability. : '''White Knight:''' All the more reason to keep him with us. Give him whatever he needs. : '''Holiday:''' White's right, Six. He knows more about nanites than anyone on the planet. He helped invent them. : '''Six:''' My point exactly. He's settling in? : '''Rex:''' I guess so. Caesar's a little strange. Hard to believe he's actually my brother. : '''Six:''' I'm happy for you, Rex. You always said you wanted to find your family. : '''Rex:''' Thanks, but... You know that? I already did. Caesar may be my brother, but you, Holiday, Bobo, you're who I have a connection with. : '''Bobo:''' Aww, now, see, I'm getting all misty. : '''Caesar:''' There you are. Hmm. Nice view. Say, mijo, you think your cafeteria could whip up a pizza with pineapple and salmon? I've been craving one for days. : '''Bobo:''' Connection, huh? ===Outpost=== :'''Alvarez:''' Did you hear that? Aah! :'''Providence Agent:''' Alvarez! :'''Valentina:''' He will be fine in a few hours. :'''Providence Agent:''' Drop it. :'''Valentina:''' I was planning to. :''[Alvarez grunts]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' They are free. :'''Valentina:''' Muy bueno. Providence is now at war with the Green Fist! :'''Rex:''' Come on, doc. Are you serious? Another one? Ouch! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Oh, this is really necessary. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The rainforest is rife with diseases, poisonous insects, and worse. I don't want you coming down with anything. :'''White Knight:''' Is he ready to go? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' As ready as he'll ever be. :'''Rex:''' He's wondering how come Six doesn't have to get a shot if he's also going? :'''White Knight:''' Six is still in New Zealand, dealing with a... Small problem. :'''Rex:''' Oh sure. Let him deal with the small stuff. While I do all the hard work. :'''White Knight:''' ''[to Rex]'' We don't have time to wait for him. You're going solo. :'''Bobo:''' Hey! Where he goes, I go. :'''White Knight:''' Like I said-- Solo. Now, this Green Fist group have been stealing EVOs all over South America. We believe they will hit Corazon de Selva next. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The Providence station there has just captured a large batch of EVOs in the jungle. :'''Rex:''' Bobo and I are ready to roll. :'''White Knight:''' Be careful. For all we know, the Green Fist could be selling EVOs to Van Kleiss. :'''Bobo:''' I'm ready for carnival! Let's party! :''[White Knight clears throat]'' :'''White Knight:''' The situation down there is... complex. I need both of you to handle the mission quietly and with diplomacy. :'''Rex:''' I can be diplomatic. Oh, by the way, you might want to think about switching to low-fat, White. Starting to look at little... Jowly. :'''Bobo:''' Better leave the diplomacy to the small one. :'''Rex:''' This is the town? :'''Bobo:''' Something tells me they're not in the mood to party. Maybe a knock-knock joke would lighten things up? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You must be Rex. :'''Rex:''' You're Agent Martrello? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You may call me "Oso", my friend. :'''Rex:''' White Knight said to send his regards. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Maybe he could come visit sometime, get some sun, see what it's like on the front lines nowadays? ''[laughing. Then to Bobo]'' This must be the monkey. He does tricks? Hello, señor Bobo. :'''Bobo:''' ''[puts his palm to Oso's mouth]'' That's "Agent Haha" to you, buddy. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Come. The station is not fair. :'''Bobo:''' Doesn't anybody mow the grass around here? :''[Oso Maretelo chuckles]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Often. But the jungle can only be kept at bay, not subdued. :''[Oso Maretelo grunting]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' There we go. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Apologies. The air-conditioning is down again. :'''Bobo:''' Makes our place look like the penthouse suite. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' But who needs air-conditioning? We're here to work! The kennel is this way. Most of these EVOs we brought in last week from deep in the jungle. A tempting target for the Green Fist. :'''Rex:''' Whoa. It's packed in here! What are you gonna do with all of them? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The big ones are shipped to larger facilities, like yours. These smaller ones stay here. They're really quite harmless, but the world wants EVOs captured, so we keep them. Oh, careful! This EVO is not like the rest. Took down six of my agents before we caught it. :'''Rex:''' Is it really tiny or something? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' That's strange. He was here this morning, he can't have escaped. Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Peekaboo. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Yah! :'''Rex:''' You all right there, buddy? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' I think you've both earned that cold drink you wanted. :'''Rex:''' See? This gig isn't so bad. Cold drinks, fringe benefits. :'''Bobo:''' It's on the fringe, all right, but I don't see the benefit. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Drink, Agent Haha. Horchata, the rice milk, is good for you. Besides... It's all they serve here. :'''Rex:''' I think it's pretty good, but how come we can't get any service? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' We're Providence. All they know is when there's trouble, Providence is there. Our relationship with them is, uh, complex. :'''Rex:''' Complex? We protect them from EVOs. You know, this calls for a little diplomacy. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. :'''Rex:''' Excuse me. :'''Waitress:''' ¿Sí? :'''Rex:''' Uh... Uh... :''[Waitress chuckles]'' :'''Waitress:''' You don't look like the usual Providence soldiers. :'''Rex:''' That's 'cause I'm not. Name's Rex. Maybe you've seen me on the news? :'''Waitress:''' No. :'''Rex:''' Uh, what's that? :'''Waitress:''' The horchata anejo. It's aged. Muy sabrosa. :'''Rex:''' I'll take a pitcher of that. :'''Waitress:''' We only make one pitcher a night. They have it. :'''Rex:''' Hey, mind if I try some? :'''Valentina:''' It's too strong for you, gringo. :'''Rex:''' Gringo? So Mexicano! :'''Valentina:''' Y tambien eres Providencia. Okay. Let's see if you can handle it. :'''Rex:''' Gracias. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex gulps]'' :'''Rex:''' Ugh! That's good! Smooth! :''[Rex gagging]'' :''[Oso Maratelo laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' ''[after taking a drink]'' I don't get what makes it so special. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' It's made from rice that's passed through the digestive system of a monkey. :''[Rex spits his drink]'' :''[Valentina growls]'' :''[Biruta grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa! :''[Woman gasps]'' :''[Woman grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Woman:''' Aah! :'''Old Man:''' Aah! :'''Man:''' Aah! :'''Biruta:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' I can't use my EVO powers against them! I don't want to hurt these people! :'''Bobo:''' I wish they felt the same about us! :'''Rex:''' Oso, you know how to use one of those? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The lariat? Oh, yes. I grew up roping steer on my Uncle's Rancho. :'''Bobo:''' Rex! :'''Biruta:''' El es un EVO! :''[Valentina sighs]'' :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' So, what do you think of that? Aah! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Waitress:''' ''[tossing Rex, Bobo and Martello out the bar]'' You are like the other Providence agents-- Bad for business! :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' This is where diplomacy gets you, my young friend. Now, are you up for a stakeout? :'''Bobo:''' Not me! I'm out of with this town and these ungrateful people. I'm going home. :'''Rex:''' But, Bobo, we need you for a special undercover mission? :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Please, Agent Haha. You are the key to the entire operation. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah? Well, you could have said that before. :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :''[Bobo grunting]'' :'''Biruta:''' Quiet! I'm trying to free you from Providence! :'''Bobo:''' I am Providence, dummy. :''[Biruta grunts]'' :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' These toys of yours-- They're for children! :''[Biruta grunts]'' :''[Valentina grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Who're you working for? :''[Valentina grunts]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' You?! Horchata girl?! What do you think you're doing?! :'''Valentina:''' I'm feeding all your prisoners, creep! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Aah! :''[Bobo groans]'' :'''Bobo:''' Whoa! :'''Rex:''' Scratch marks? Weird. What the heck did this? :''[Valentina screams]'' :'''Valentina:''' Huh? Aah! :'''Rex:''' Take a number! I have business with the señorita first. Aah! :''[Valentina grunting]'' :'''Rex:''' Aah! Aah! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Bobo:''' Hyah! :'''Valentina:''' Aah! :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, and stay down! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, you okay? :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I feel... fine. I hope Holiday gave me a shop or whatever that was. :'''Valentina:''' For the last time, we don't work for Van Kleiss! The Green Fist fights for the EVOs who cannot fight for themselves. We set them free-- Nothing more. :''[Bobo snorts]'' :'''Bobo:''' Just what we need-- Humans for ethical treatment of EVOs. :'''Valentina:''' Ugh! We were returning them to their natural habitat! What Providence does is wrong and against the natural order of things! ''[to Rex]'' You're a traitor to your own kind! :'''Rex:''' That thing you set free-- It's natural order is to exterminate mankind! It wanted to kill you! Your men are dying because of it. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I wish I had better news. :'''Rex:''' Thanks anyway, doc. We'll call with updates. :'''Bobo:''' What did she say? :'''Rex:''' The nanites in my system are fighting off the toxin, but that's only slowing it down. We need to make an anti-toxin, or-- or... :'''Valentina:''' Or se va a morir! :'''Bobo:''' In English! In English! :'''Rex:''' It's doing to me what it's done to Valentina's men. If we don't get the anti-toxin soon, they'll die, and, eventually, I will, too. :'''Bobo:''' Think I liked it better in Spanish. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' If I can get a blood sample of that EVO with this, it'll beam its DNA sequence back to Holiday and she'll be able to instantly synthesize an anti-toxin. :'''Rex:''' I want to go. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You're sick. :'''Bobo:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' I'm better equipped than any agent you have, and you know it. :''[Oso Maretelo sighs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Very well. You'll come with me and a team of my best men. :'''Valentina:''' You're killing him if you do that. Listen, you need me, Providence man. I know that jungle better than anyone. Your big, noisy party will alert that EVO. You won't get within a mile of it. My men are dying, too. Let me free! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' You think I'm going to let you just walk out of here alone? :'''Rex:''' No. I'm going, too. :''[Bobo grunting]'' :'''Bobo:''' Aah! :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Anything yet? :'''Rex:''' Nothing. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Rex, once you get the sample of the EVO's blood for the anti-toxin, I'll pick you up in the jump jet. White Knight wants you sticking to his orders, nothing more-- Capture the EVO and bring back the prisoner. :'''Rex:''' Gotcha. :'''Valentina:''' Orders? Prisoners? You wonder why we're suspicious of Providence. :'''Rex:''' We're protecting people. What we're doing is good. I believe that. :'''Valentina:''' You think I don't believe in what I do? Who decides who's right-- Your White Knight? :''[Bobo snoring]'' :'''Rex:''' All we found out here are goats from the village-- At least what's left of them. :''[Rex groans]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Valentina:''' You all right? :'''Rex:''' I'm fine. Let's just hope this trap works. :''[Bobo snoring]'' :'''Bobo:''' ''[to the creature]'' Hey, pal, didn't anybody tell you the trap's over there? Aah! :'''Valentina:''' We've caught him! :'''Bobo:''' No! You caught me! Big difference! :'''Rex:''' Aaah! That's it. No more running. Hyah! Ahh! Okay, time for more running! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Ahh! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Adiós! Aah! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' The toxins are breaking down my nanites! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Valentina:''' Over here! Come and get me! :'''Rex:''' Don't! It'll kill you! :'''Valentina:''' You're too ill to fight it! :'''Rex:''' Look, put down the flower basket and trust me. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' On my signal. Come on. Don't you want a nice Rex burger for breakfast? Not yet. Not yet. Now! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Valentina:''' You caught it. You've saved my men. :'''Rex:''' We caught it... Together. First my cure... Now his. I don't believe it. This thing... It isn't an EVO. :'''Valentina:''' The fangs, the toxin... The goat! Of course! How could I have been so blind? This animal is a chupacabra! :'''Rex:''' Chupacabra? Isn't that a myth, like bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster? :'''Valentina:''' I thought it was only a legend, too. :'''Rex:''' Providence must have come blundering onto its home turf and captured it. :'''Valentina:''' So... What will you do? :'''Rex:''' Only one option, as far as I see it. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Go on. Get! Get! :'''Valentina:''' There are things in this jungle stranger than EVOs and older than man. :'''Rex:''' Well, as long as they stay here, we won't have anymore problems. Doc, did the sample beam through okay? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm synthesizing the anti-toxin right now. It'll be at the base by the time Oso picks you up. :'''Rex:''' He'll be here soon with the jump set. You better get going. :'''Valentina:''' Your orders were to bring me back. :'''Rex:''' I don't always follow orders. :'''Valentina:''' Thank you. This still doesn't make up for spitting the horchata in my face. :'''Bobo:''' Ooh, slick. If it was me, I would have kissed her. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' The anti-toxin will have you back to normal within the hour. Now, what happened with the woman? :'''Rex:''' She, uh, got away. :'''Oso Maretelo:''' I see. You're learning, my friend. It's complex. A woman like that-- It makes our problems with EVOs seem simple, no? :''[Oso Maretelo laughs]'' :'''Oso Maretelo:''' Safe journey, my friends. I hope to see you again. :'''Bobo:''' That makes one of us. :'''Waitress:''' Wait! For your trip! :'''Rex:''' Uh... Gracias. How'd I earn this? :'''Waitress:''' I heard what you did. The chupacabra-- It stole my abuela's goat. Providence is going to buy her a new one. Thank you. :''[Waitress smooches]'' :'''Bobo:''' Hey, if that's all it took to make you happy, we would have run off with the goat when we first came to town. Aah! Aw! Some thanks! ===Haunted=== ===Moonlighting=== ===Without a Paddle=== ===Written in Sand=== :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, I need an uptade. :'''Rex''': I'm right at the edge. Anything still alive in there is trying to get away from the sandstorm. :'''Dr. Holiday''': It's not the storm they're running from. The nanites inside them are forcing the animals away. It's creating a kind of nanite-free zone. :'''Rex''': Ha! We should call White Knight. Maybe he'll move here and leave us all alone. :'''Dr. Holiday''': It's no laughing matter, Rex. It could be the most significant development since the original nanite event. :'''Rex''': Yeah, yeah. Possible cures save the world-- Got it. I'll check it out. :'''Bobo''': Hey, doc. You may wanna get a load of this over here. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Negative. The storm is moving in too fast. Just place a sensor and pack it in. :'''Rex''': Hey. No. It couldn't be. Rex to base. We got trouble of the egomaniacal EVO kind. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Van Kleiss is here? Why am I not surprised? :'''Rex''': I think the real question is, if everything else is in such a race to get out, why is he going on? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, wait. :'''Rex''': Don't worry, doc. It's me. What could possibly happen? :'''Skalamander''': RARGH! PTUH! They're nothing but dirt. :'''Biowulf''': My senses-- Useless in all this sand. :'''Van Kleiss''': This phenomenon deserves my personal attention. What we seek is nearby. I can feel it pushing against me. :'''Rex''': ''[Rex emerges from the sand storm]'' Yeah? :''[Skalamander grunts]'' :'''Rex''': ''[Rex kicks Skalamander]'' How about kicking against you, too? :'''Van Kleiss''': Rex! You're not welcome here. :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Now, that hurt my feelings! :''[Rex groaning]'' :''[Skalamander pins him to the sand, causing him to groan in pain]'' :''[Skalamander laughs]'' :'''Rex''': Aaah! Whoa! :'''Van Kleiss''': If I never see your face again, It will be too soon! :'''Rex''': Yeah? The feeling's-- Whoa! Mutual! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex? Rex, do you read me? :''[Bobo coughing]'' :'''Bobo''': Okay, we gotta get outta here. I got sand in places I didn't even know I had places. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, if you can hear me, we're retreating to the safe zone. Rendezvous with us there. :'''Rex''': AAAAH! WHOA-OHHHHHHH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex coughs]'' :'''Rex''': Okay, Kleiss-- Go time! No EVO allies, just you and-- Whoa! Uh, sorry, buddy. Didn't mean to bring you along for the ride. :'''Van Kleiss''': I don't need my EVO allies, when I can simply make more. :'''Rex''': Don't get me wrong-- I love punching stuff. But anything you can do, I can undo better! We can do this all day. Or you can just spill it. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': Why are you causing this nanite-free zone? :'''Van Kleiss''': How convenient it must be to make me the root of all evil. I'm not causing it. I've come to discover the source and destroy it. :'''Rex''': This could be the cure to nanites. :'''Van Kleiss''': And I live off nanites. What Providence calls a cure, I call death. :'''Rex''': Really? Haven't we moved past this? :'''Van Kleiss''': Huh? :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :''[After Van Kleiss creates a scorpion EVO to attack Rex, it attacks him instead.]'' :'''Rex''': That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hang on-- I got to get this on video. ''[Takes out cell phone and starts recording Van Kleiss dodging the scorpion EVO.]'' :''[Van Kleiss panting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Something's wrong. I should be controlling this creature. :'''Rex''': Stinks to be you. Huh? You ruined my shot! :'''Van Kleiss''': I believe we've found something more interesting. :'''Rex''': You like to point out the obvious, don't you? :'''Bobo''': Don't get me wrong-- I love the kid, but if we don't pull stakes now, we'll be combing dust outta all sorts of places for years. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Too late. Hold on to everything that's not tied down. This is going to be a bumpy... ride. :'''Six''': Holiday? I trust you're all right? :'''Dr. Holiday''': I'm fine, Six. But Rex is still out there-- With Van Kleiss. I can't reach him. :'''Six''': We'll prep a rescue party. Prepare to come aboard. :'''Rex''': Hey! :'''Van Kleiss''': This is not simply a nanite-free zone. Something is stealing the nanites from our bodies. If we linger here too long, we may both find ourselves defenseless against the other. :'''Rex''': Well, then, we'd better blow this joint. And when I say "we" I mean "me". :''[Rex tries to escape and fails]'' :'''Rex''': AAAAAAAAH! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': If either of us is to escape this place, we will have to work together. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': What exactly are you suggesting? :'''Van Kleiss''': A temporary truce. :'''Rex''': An extremely temporary truce. :'''Van Kleiss''': We'll work our way to the center of the nanite storm. :'''Rex''': No, we work our way out of the nanite storm and get Providence in here to figure out what's happening. :'''Van Kleiss''': Providence? They can't be trusted. :'''Rex''': Them? Didn't you try to take over New York? And Europe? And the world? :'''Van Kleiss''': You need to listen to me, Rex. Without a powers, you're nothing but a child. :'''Rex''': Oh, yeah? Truce over! Okay. This is awkward. Hey, is it just me, or are you getting really dust? :'''Van Kleiss''': It's happening faster than I thought. :'''Rex''': What's happening faster? If you know something, you'd better spit it out, or-- Whoa! It all looks fossilized. Like it's made completely out of... sand. :'''Van Kleiss''': Not only are there no nanites here, this is pure silicone. There are no other elements-- No carbon, calcium, hydrogen. It appears that this zone not only destroys nanites, but is-- :'''Rex''': Squeezing the life from the Earth. This isn't sand. This is me! :''[Rex whimpering]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': These glyphs-- There's something familiar about them. Sumatran? Mesopotamian? :'''Rex''': Less geeking, more escaping! :'''Van Kleiss''': We need to find the epicenter of this maze. These glyphs may hold the answer. :'''Rex''': Only if one says "exit sign." :'''Van Kleiss''': No need to panic, Rex. We have at least twenty minutes before fossilization-- Give or take. :'''Rex''': "Don't panic"-- Says the guy who used to be dirt. :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Rex''': We're turning into walking litter boxes, and you're checking out caveman graffiti? No wonder I'm always kicking your butt. :'''Van Kleiss''': You don't have an investigative bone in your body, do you? So strongheaded-- Just like your mother. ''[Rex is silent]'' No, you don't like that, do you-- That I know more about you than you do? :'''Rex''': Skip the head games. Isn't exactly a good time. :'''Van Kleiss''': No, but perhaps it is time for some truth. We may perish down here, Rex. Ask me anything you want about the past, and I'll answer it. :'''Rex''': ''[looks at his own slowly fossilizing body]'' Sell it somewhere else. I'm not buying. :''[walks away]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, so the great and powerful Providence has finally come through on their promise to help you remember your past. :'''Rex''': Something better-- Someone who was actually there at the Nanite Event. :'''Van Kleiss''': Aha. Your brother, Caesar. :''[Van Kleiss chuckles evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': I've been following you both very closely since his... miraculous reappearance. Even if you don't want to hear what I have to say, this one's for free. Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be. :'''Rex''': ''[creates his BFS and holds it at Van Kleiss' throat]'' What are you getting at? :'''Van Kleiss''': Oh, no, no. That's not how this works. It isn't my turn. Quid pro quo, Rex. If you want to know more-- Why don't we start with something simple? Rylander's Omega Nanite. I know it's inside you. :'''White Knight''': Status uptade? :'''Six''': Still no fix on Rex. Scanners can't cut through the storm, so we're moving in to stage a recon. :'''White Knight''': I will not risk everyone on board that ship for one agent. Not even that agent. :''[Holiday subtly ends the call. Then to Six]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Whoops. Guess the satellite feed went down. Nasty sand. :''[Six smirks]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Caesar? Wanted you to know we haven’t found him yet. :'''Caesar''': Found who? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. :'''Caesar''': Right. Ah. Sorry. That was, uh, fifteen minutes ago. I've done about five hundred task since then. Try calibrating the keep's sensors to search for traces of Selenium. It's something Rex naturally gives off, like dandruff. :'''Dr. Holiday''': I-- Really? Hmm. Okay, thanks. :'''Van Kleiss''': So what you're saying is, the motor runs off of gravity and the only exhausts are atoms of selenium. :'''Rex''': Now you. Squid Pro... Whatever. The nanites, the Event. What started all this? :'''Van Kleiss''': He didn't tell you? I'm not surprised. It was Caesar. :''[Rex pushes Van Kleiss to nearest wall and take out his BFS once again]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Wasteful, Rex. :'''Rex''': You're lying! :'''Van Kleiss''': Hardly. Your brother is responsible for the most significant catastrophe in human history. You have to admit that as brilliant as Caesar is, he's... not quite right. Am I telling you something that you haven't already noticed? :''[Rex groans]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': HAAAH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Van Kleiss coughing]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': You seem to have awoken some sort of defense mechanism. :'''Rex''': What are they defending? Rocks? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Before we're totally devoid of nanites, we need to end this now-- Together. :'''Rex''': Back to back! :'''Van Kleiss''': What? :'''Rex''': Haven't you ever read a comic book? Back to back! No way. These markings-- They're not hieroglyphics. They're circuit boards. This whole cave, this valley-- It's one giant circuit board. These are data conduits-- Ms. Hubs! :'''Van Kleiss''': You're right. These spirals are solid-state storage-- The standard design for a firewall in a CPU. :'''Rex''': Did you just say I'm right? Now that I know what we're dealing with, it's a simple matter of-- Hacking in. This is malo-- Muy malo. Van Kleiss, meet the psycho computer who calls herself-- :'''Van Kleiss''': Zag-RS? :'''Rex''': How do you know that? ''[Zag-RS notices them and attacks them]'' You know Zag-RS? How? :'''Van Kleiss''': She was designed as a decontamination program at the original nanite laboratory. Her task was to destroy any rogue nanites that escaped from the holding tanks. :'''Rex''': She did a great job. Whoever designed her should be taken out and beaten with a tendril. :'''Van Kleiss''': Caesar designed her. :'''Rex''': I'm gonna have to have a chat with my brother when this is over. :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Van Kleiss''': Focus, you fool. If we're to survive this, we have to use whatever nanites we have left to shut her down. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': No problemo! Ah, come on! Stay up! Show off! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Well, this bites. :''[Rex straining]'' :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex''': Didn't I leave you in orbit? Shouldn't you have burned up in re-entry or something? :'''Zag-RS''': Re-entry resulted in a hard desert landing. This unit faced complete system failure. Salvation came from integration with the host space station power cell, where new initiatives were established. :'''Rex''': Turning the world into a sandbox? :'''Zag-RS''': Correct. The prevention of organic infection by elimination of organic matter and securing the Earth core system. Soon, this world will function without flaw. :'''Rex''': Van Kleiss! Change of plan! While, I've got Zaggy occupied, you go and warn Providence before it's too late! :'''Van Kleiss''': There's no time. Her strength is growing exponentially. To achieve victory, you must trust me. :'''Rex''': Trust you?! That's comedy gold! Even if I was that big of a doof, neither one of us had enough power to fight back! :'''Van Kleiss''': That's not entirely true. :'''Rex''': Huh? :'''Van Kleiss''': I've not been completely honest with you. :'''Rex''': Stunned-- Really. :'''Van Kleiss''': The Omega Nanite within you has a self-replicating program. You can create your own nanites. :'''Rex''': What?! Why didn't you tell me! :'''Van Kleiss''': A calculated emission. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': No way. :'''Van Kleiss''': There-- That is the heart of Zag-RS. Strike while you can! :'''Rex''': Oh, yeah! Now we're talking! Normally, I don't fight girls, but this time I'll make... A big... giant... robot exception! :'''Dr. Holiday''': I found him, Six-- twenty kilometers northeast. There's a huge spike in trace selenium. :'''Six''': Charge all weapons. :'''Dr. Holiday''': The storm's starting to break. But please don't crash. :'''Rex''': YAAAH! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex''': That's not fair! It worked in the movie! :''[Rex whimpers]'' :''[Rex groaning]'' :'''Rex''': AAAH! :'''Zag-RS''': You have miscalculated, human. The more nanites you replicate, the more energy you supply me. 7.5 seconds until I overtake your production. :''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' :'''Zag-RS''': 4.3 seconds. :'''Van Kleiss''': AAAAAAAAAH! :'''Rex''': YAAAAAAH! One psycho robot down, one supervillain to chicken! Finally! :'''Bobo''': What, you never heard the term "fashionably late"? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Your nanite-replicating function seems to be working well. Most of Zag-RS' alterations have been expunged. :'''Rex''': Meaning... What? :'''Bobo''': You ain't gonna wash away at high tide. :'''Caesar''': This is my design. :'''Rex''': Great-- My brother created Zag-RS. :'''Caesar''': Evidently. Though her evolution into some sort of sentient nanite-slayer is most curious. :'''Six''': Curious? :'''Rex''': What about what Van Kleiss said? :'''Caesar''': You mean I'm to blame for the original nanite event? Why don't we ask her? Wait! Interface protocols. Code designate Zag-RS. Respond. :'''Zag-RS''': Dr. Salazar. Good morning. How may I assist you? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Stand down, gentlemen. Zag-RS has been successfully rebooted. But her memory has been wiped clean. :'''Rex''': What? You got to be kidding me! :'''Caesar''': That's interesting. Hmm. Van Kleiss must have implemented a program dump before he left you. It's the only logical conclusion. :'''Rex''': Program dump? :'''Van Kleiss''': Do not place your trust in Caesar. He's not the man you believe him to be. :'''Rex''': Great. So now all we've got is a lame decontamination program with a GPS lady's voice? :'''Caesar''': GPS lady? Hardly. :'''Rex:''' I was making a joke. :'''Caesar''': Don't you recognize it? When I programmed her, I wanted a voice that meant safety, protection, caring. Rex, this is our mother's voice. :'''Rex''': ''[shocked]'' Mama? ===Night Falls=== : ''[Caesar's Pod Laboratory arrives at the town of Mexico City]'' : '''Rex:''' Are we there yet? ''[moving his legs and hugs his legs]'' All this futuristic technology and you never thought of adding a bathroom. ''[points at the monitor]'' City Hall! It must have a bathroom! Pull over-- Now! ''[Esteban writing some paperwork as the ground starts to rumble, He immediately ran outside looking at Caesar's research pod landing. The door opens and Rex finally made on solid ground.]'' Baño? : ''[Esteban awkwardly points the bathroom]'' : ''[Rex runs]'' : ''[The elevator in Research pod went up and then down with Caesar]'' : '''Esteban:''' Caesar. ¿Eres tú? : '''Caesar:''' ''[suspecting face]'' Esteban? : '''Esteban:''' It's Mayor Esteban now. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' Mayor? When you ran for class president, Maria Rodriguez got all the votes. : '''Esteban:''' She was smarter and much better-looking. And I see you're still building your crazy contraptions. What brings you back to town? : '''Caesar:''' To visit Abuela. It's a surprise. : '''Esteban:''' You don't want to go there. It's not the same as you remember. : ''[Rex righs]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[runs to the research pod]'' Okay, bro, let's go! ''[Rex went up to the lab]'' : ''[Esteban chuckling]'' : '''Esteban:''' ''[looking at Rex]'' Is that little Cabeza de Trapo? : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' I haven't thought of that for years. ''[Caesar went up to the lab]'' : '''Rex:''' What? : '''Caesar:''' No es nada, mijo. We'd better get going. : '''Esteban:''' At least stay in town tonight. You can head up to abuela's in the morning. : '''Caesar:''' It's been over five years, Esteban. We're not waiting another minute. : ''[Door closes and Research pods departs]'' : '''Rex:''' If she's not really our grandmother, why are you calling her "abuela"? : '''Caesar:''' There may not be a biological connection, but she practically raised the entire town. When you were a boy, you spent every summer here. : ''[Rex stops and feels incomplete]'' : '''Rex:''' I wish I could remember her. Or any of this. : '''Caesar:''' I'm sure she'll be excited to see you. Just prepare yourself for a lot of sloppy grandma kisses. : ''[Caesar pats Rex's hair and keeps on moving]'' : ''[Rex knocks at the door, The door opens by Abuela]'' Abuela, it's me-- Caesar. : ''[The Salazar brothers show themselves while Caesar holds a Bouquet of flowers]'' : '''Abuela:''' Caesar! And is that my Cabeza de Trapo? : '''Rex:''' Why is everyone calling me that? : '''Abuela:''' What are you doing here? : '''Caesar:''' We've come to visit. May we come in? : '''Abuela:''' ''[Looks at the sky for a brief moment]'' No! ''[slams the door]'' : '''Rex:''' Maybe we should have called first. : ''[The Salazar brothers spend the night in the Research pod with Caesar sleeping at the floor and Rex sleeping on the table. Unintentionally the computer sets thte alarm causing Rex to wake up a bit.]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Ten more minutes, Six. [''covers his ears with his pillow]'' : ''[Caesar opens the door and looks down, Seeing Abuela holding breakfast]'' : '''Abuela:''' Who wants breakfast? : ''[Rex immediately wakes up]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Yo! : ''[Rex drops off the table]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Ouch! : ''[After a few minutes, Rex picks up his breakfast]'' : '''Caesar:''' Abuela always was the best cook. : '''Abuela:''' I have missed my niños. ''[Puts her hand on Rex's shoulder]'' Rex, I have been following your work with Providence, and I always knew you would be a big important scientist. : '''Rex:''' So, why did you slam the door on us last night? : '''Abuela:''' Oh, that. You just caught me off guard. We weren't expecting visitors. : '''Rex:''' I thought you always-- : '''Caesar:''' Enough with the questions, little brother. : '''Abuela:''' Let me look at you. : ''[Abuela grabs Rex's face]' : '''Rex:''' Mmph! : '''Abuela:''' I can't believe how you have grown. Come, see-- The rest of the family. : '''Rex:''' Does everyone in town live here? : ''[Caesar chuckles]'' : '''Caesar:''' I remember evenings here, laughing, telling stories. And the food! Rex, if you thought breakfast was good, wait and see what abuela makes for dinner. : '''Abuela:''' It is an old building. There are always repairs. : '''Federico:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' Huh? : ''[Rex chuckles nervously]'' : '''Rex:''' Uh... What's up? : '''Federico:''' It's me-- Federico. Have you forgotten the secret shake? : '''Abuela:''' You and Federico were best friends when you were little. : '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo! : '''Rex:''' Why do you keep calling me that? : '''Caesar:''' You used to put underpants on your heads and act out Lucha Libre movies. : '''Rex:''' Glad I don't remember that. : '''Federico:''' Lucky you. : '''Esteban:''' Abuela, I must speak to you. : '''Abuela:''' Someone has forgotten his manners. : '''Esteban:''' You can't just keep avoiding me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. The village is concerned about the recent activity. : '''Abuela:''' Well, it shouldn't be. What goes on here is our own business. : '''Esteban:''' Not when it leaves these walls. The situation is getting worse. : '''Abuela:''' We've made the necessary corrections. It won't happen again. : '''Esteban:''' You got one last chance to get out of town. Or I will evict you myself. : '''Abuela:''' An old squabble. You don't need to worry. : '''Caesar:''' What aren't you telling us, abuela? : '''Abuela:''' Time to start making dinner. : '''Rex:''' Dinner? We just had breakfast. : ''[Caesar chuckles]'' : '''Caesar:''' Trust me. ''[Stands up with his glass]'' To family! : '''Rex:''' Is it like this every night? : '''Federico:''' Pretty much. : ''[Rex chuckling]'' : ''[The kid kicks the ball high, Frederico stands up and catch the ball and dribbled. Rex was impress.]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey. You're pretty good. Everything about going pro? : ''[Frederico drops the ball, awkward silence]'' : '''Federico:''' Not anymore. : ''[Rex picks up the ball, kicks it. The ball lands on the table splashing the food all around, everyones laughting. The bell rings and everyone starts going away.]'' : '''Rex:''' Okay, maybe not my best move, but it wasn't that bad. : '''Abuela:''' Come, children! : ''[Caesar and Rex follows Abuela to their room]'' You'll sleep here. : ''[Rex notices Frederico]'' : '''Federico:''' See you in the morning. : ''[Frederico darkly walks into he's room. Rex enters in his. In the room Caesar's unpacking, Rex looks around. Suddently Abuela locks the door.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Did she just lock us in? :''[Rex tries to open the door, fails]'' She just locked us in! : '''Caesar:''' We need to respect our elders. I'm sure she had her reasons. ''[Rex walks to window, Caesar's trying the new bed.]'' Ooh! Bed's pretty comfy. Good night! : '''Rex:''' But-- but... It's only 6:30! : ''[Night, suddently a roar is heard. Rex and Caesar wakes up.]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Sure, that's not weird, either! : ''[Mayor's office, the phone start's ringing.Esteban picks up.]'' : '''Esteban:''' Bueno. I'm glad you cloud return my call. I understand you can help me with my EVO problem. : ''[Salazar's room. Rex and Ceasar already dressed.]'' : '''Rex:''' Frederico? That's his room behind here! : ''[Caesar grunts]'' : ''[Caesar pull's the door, they are still locked.]'' : '''Caesar:''' ''[to Rex]'' Can you break it down? : '''Rex:''' How about respecting our elders? : '''Caesar:''' Technically, I am your elder. Brake it down! : '''Rex:''' I'll do one better! Hunh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Forms Smack hands and punches trought the wall, making a hole that reveals Frederico's room.]'' : '''Rex:''' This place is just full of surprises. Okay, fur face, if you ate my friend-- : '''Caesar:''' Rex! Wait! : '''Abuela:''' There has been a breach! Where is Rex? : '''Caesar:''' I suspect halfway down the hill by now. Abuela-- : '''Abuela:''' I know. : '''Rex:''' Whoa-- Unh! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' AAAAH! Whoa! Unh! UAAAAGH! This is for Federico! : '''Abuela:''' Rex! No! That is Federico! : '''Federico:''' Are those your hands? Genial. I got out again, didn't I? : '''Rex:''' So, you're like a were-EVO? : '''Caesar:''' Lux Lucius Mutatio. Interesting. : '''Abuela:''' Come-- We've got to get back to the house. : '''Esteban:''' I told you this would happen! You can't control them anymore! : '''Rex:''' It wasn't her. It was me. I let them out. I didn't know. : '''Esteban:''' All these EVOs! : '''Abuela:''' They're just boys. : '''Esteban:''' Look at the destruction your boys caused! The people are tired of living in fear! You'll be leaving today! : '''Rex:''' I'm sorry, abuela. I had no idea. And now you have to leave because of me. : '''Abuela:''' I'm not going anywhere! : '''Federico:''' We turn at sundown and then back at sunrise. It only happens to some of us. : '''Caesar:''' I took samples from all of the affected family members. Everyone shares the same genetic code-- something similar to hypotrichosis. : '''Rex:''' Hyper, huh? : '''Caesar:''' Werewolf syndrome. The nanites triggered the dormant gene. : '''Federico:''' Can you cure it? : '''Rex:''' I can try. Strange. I don't feel anything. Do you? : '''Federico:''' Thanks anyway. : '''Caesar:''' I'm seeing no active nanite tracers whatsoever. : '''Rex:''' Well, maybe it's because he's not an EVO form. : '''Federico:''' I just want a normal life again. I don't want to have to leave my home. : '''Caesar:''' Maybe there's a way you can have both. : '''Rex:''' Sorry about the wall. Why didn't you tell us? : '''Abuela:''' Because I didn't want Providence to know. : '''Rex:''' But Providence can help. : '''Abuela:''' By taking those afflicted away? No. Every night when the bell pulls, those that have the change are locked away safely. For years it has been this way and no one has been hurt. : '''Rex:''' But-- You're prisoners in your own home. : '''Abuela:''' You may see it that way, niño. But at least we are a family. : '''Federico:''' You know-- Even though we got busted today, it was kind of fun to get out. : '''Rex:''' Don't you ever feel cooped up in here? : '''Federico:''' There is one thing I missed. Go-o-o-o-al! : '''Rex:''' Why did you stop playing if you love it so much? : '''Federico:''' One day during practice, I stayed late so some scouts could see me play. Sun went down, and, well... They made me quit the league after that. Still haven't replaced the go box. : ''[Federico chuckles]'' : '''Federico:''' Is that Providence? : '''Rex:''' I don't know who it is. : '''Federico:''' We should probably get back. It's almost evening bell. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Rex. : '''Federico:''' That guy just shot my ball! : '''Rex:''' Oh, this is just perfect. Hunter Cane he has a thing for hunting down EVOs I already put him away once. : '''Federico:''' So, what's he doing here? : '''Rex:''' Guessing your mayor called him. : '''Federico:''' No, I mean did, he break out or something? : '''Rex:''' Don't know. Don't care. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Why am I not surprised? This one of them? : '''Rex:''' Bringing this guy here was a bad move. : '''Hunter Cain:''' For them? And I get to settle an old score while I'm at it. Lucky me. : '''Rex:''' No-- Lucky me! : '''Federico:''' Rex, we've gotta go. : '''Rex:''' You don't have to worry. This guy has nothing to sweat. : '''Federico:''' Now! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Well, what do we have here? : ''[Hunter Cain grunts]'' : '''Hunter Cain:''' Esteban, my friend, I may not even charge you for this one. : '''Rex:''' The mayor wasn't kidding. He sent an EVO hunter who likes to shoot first and skip the questions. We'll need every man, woman, and werewolf. : '''Esteban:''' You were warned, abuela. You can live peacefully or we will bring you out. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I didn't come here for conversation. : '''Esteban:''' But you said it would just be a show of force. We run them out of town. No one gets hurt. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I don't negotiate with EVOs or their families. If you don't like what you're about to see, you can head on down the hill. : '''Rex:''' Why don't you join them, hunter? : '''Hunter Cain:''' I never back down from a fight. : '''Rex:''' Neither do I. You bring your magic EVO bullets, or is this going to be a real fight? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Lucky for you, these are the old-fashioned kind. But they hurt just as bad. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, that is kind of annoying. : '''Caesar:''' Just hours ago, there wasn't any nanite activity. But now, it's like night and day. : ''[Caesar laughs]'' : '''Caesar:''' That was my little pun. It seems the samples are reacting differently in the absence of sunlight. If I can only work out the photoreactive elements-- : '''Rex:''' I don't even think a cure will stop Hunter Cain. He'll never listen to reason. : '''Caesar:''' I still gotta try. I think I can affect the change in the nanite programming during your nocturnal cycle. If I'm gonna cure this, I have to do it before sunrise. : '''Rex:''' Not a Hunter gets to them first. I can keep doing this till you run out of ammo. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Fire on target! : '''Rex:''' AAAAAAAH! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Note to self-- Don't give him any ideas. You have to let them out! : '''Abuela:''' I made a promise to keep them safe from harm! : '''Rex:''' Where they can't defend themselves? That's exactly what won't happen! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Grandma, step aside. : '''Abuela:''' I stand with my family. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Have it your way. I'll take all of you down. : '''Abuela:''' You obviously haven't met my family. : '''Rex:''' Can't believe we're not related. So, what was your big jail break? Nail pile and a cake? Exploding smoke bomb? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Cold, hard cash. Not everyone at Providence is an EVO-lover. : '''Caesar:''' Huh? Yes! Rex, we can reprogram the nanites to disregard the photoreactive coding of their DNA with a frequency-tuned pulse! That should allow you to cure them! : '''Rex:''' Sounds great, but I've sort of got my hands full. Unh! : '''Caesar:''' You mess with my brother, you mess with me. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Who are you? You an EVO? : '''Caesar:''' No. I'm a scientist. : '''Hunter Cain:''' AAAAH! : '''Caesar:''' Your turn. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa-ho! Wait! I thought you said you had to zap their nanites. : '''Caesar:''' In a manner of speaking. First, I zap you. Then, you have your nanites through do the rest. : '''Rex:''' AAAH! : '''Caesar:''' Too strong. I'll make an adjustment. : '''Rex:''' Adjustment? How about you wait for me to say "okay" next time? You're still here? : '''Hunter Cain:''' When I said I was out of the disintegrator ammo, I lied. One left, and it has your name on it. : '''Rex:''' Federico, I'm not sure if you can understand me, but it might be time for the return of Las Cabezas de Trapo. : '''Caesar:''' I think I've got the settings figured out. : '''Rex:''' You think? AAAH! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Caesar:''' That's more like it. : '''Rex:''' ''[Woozily]'' Okay. Let's give it a try. I'm not trying to hurt you. : '''Abuela:''' Federico, mi corazoncito. Let him try. : '''Rex:''' Maybe we have to wait for a sunrise. We- We made it worse. Now we stuck that way! : '''Federico:''' It isn't him-- It's me. I can control it now! : '''Hunter Cain:''' Doesn't change a thing to me. He's still an EVO. I'm gonna finish the job I came here to do. I'll wipe out the whole compound if I have to. : '''Abuela:''' There is no place for your kind of hatred here! : '''Hunter Cain:''' You think I'm afraid of you? : '''Rex:''' I think you should be. : ''[Hunter Cain spits]'' : '''Rex:''' Hunter knows how to hold a grudge. He'll come back. : '''Federico:''' And we'll be waiting. : '''Rex:''' So, this mean you're gonna try out for the pros? : '''Abuela:''' I think it's time we all go out and live our lives. : '''Rex:''' La familia! : '''Caesar:''' Cabezas de trapo! ===Hard Target=== : '''Rex:''' "It's Breach! She's-" : '''Circe:''' "Messing with you, Rex. Did you actually see on her the other side?" : '''Rex:''' "Well, no but...OK, why Hong Kong?" : '''Circe:''' "Because it's on the other side of the world, because she's seriously messed up." : '''Cricket:'''" Kind of like our place." : '''Circe:''' "Trust me. She's back in Abysus laughing it off with the rest of the Pack. Besides, I'm not that easy to find." : (''Removes the white towel to reveal her shoulder-length black hair partly dyed a deep plum and having donned a dark gray overall dress'') : '''Rex:''' "OK, Rex. Bad intro. Take a do-over. Like the new look." : '''Circe:''' "Wow. A compliment." <hr width80%> :'''Skywdd:''' "And that's when Circe goes all [[w:Siren (mythology)|siren]] and blasts the bus driver's pants clean off." :'''Circe:''' "Lucky shot. Hit the exact frequency of polyester." :'''Tuck:''' "Good thing his boxers were cotton." :'''Rex''' (''uncomfortable'')''':''' "Good one. Uh, Circe, remember when you took down that sea monster in Cabo Luna?" :'''Circe:''' "Please, Rex, I'd rather not remember that right now." :'''Skywdd:''' Geez, Rex. Buzzkill." <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' "Stop it." :'''Skywdd:''' "What's with him?" :'''Circe:''' "Breach lag. Let clean over his bedtime." :'''Rex:''' "That and my early morning snooze. By the way, you were right. Breach wasn't after you. She freed Quarry. Got this from the Providence security feed." :'''Skywdd:''' "Quarry?" :'''Tuck:''' "He's lose?" :'''Cricket:''' "Oh no." :'''Circe:''' "You saw Breach and came back ''here!'' What if she followed you!?" :'''Rex:''' "Don't worry. If Breach were here, I'd feel it. She's here." <hr width80%> : '''Breach:''' "Hey, girlfriend." : '''Circe:''' "Get out of here, Breach!" : '''Breach:''' "But Van Kleiss has so been wanting to chat." : '''Circe:''' "Then deliver a message for him! " : (''Uses her ultrasonic bursts on Breach, who creates a portal behind her, knocking her out with her own sonic abilities)'' : '''Rex:''' "Let her go, Breach!!" : '''Breach:''' "Oh, sorry, Rex. She's gonna save my skin. V.K.'s tough on failure, remember?" : (''Teleports away with an unconscious Circe on her shoulder'') : '''Rex:''' "NO!!" <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' "Hold that thought. You can come out now. I got that creeped out feeling." :'''Breach:''' "Peek a boo." : '''Skwydd:''' "It's her!'' She took Circe." : '''Rex:''' But not to Van Kleiss. You never went to Abysus, did you? You slipped her into your little pocket dimension. Let her go, Breach! : '''Breach:''' And I agree to that...why? : '''Rex:''' "Because you wouldn't want Van Kleiss to see this. I'm thinking a trade is in order." : (''Breach releases Circe, who is caught by Skwydd'') : '''Circe:''' "I hate you, Breach." ===A Family Holiday=== :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The pace of study has been staggeringly slow. There have been no significant advancements in nanite research since the original event. Simply put, Providence is not doing enough. What is required is not a military response, but a serious, thoughtful reaction, a scientific answer. The poor and afflicted deserve more. The world, deserves more. Let me introduce Diane. Mother of three. Diane has been diagnosed as incurable, a lost cause. Since then, she's been treated like an animal, locked away from her family... No hope on the horizon. Until now. At Moses Labs, we don't rely on tanks, guns, or secret weapons-- Only an unwavering belief that whatever science breaks, science can fix. Welcome back, Diane. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Happy birthday, little sister. :'''Rex:''' Hope that I paid the bills. This is going to be expensive. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Caesar:''' Release the hounds. :''[a door opens revealing some Evo hounds]'' :'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Heh! I thought that was just a figure of speech. You're a sick puppy. :'''Rex:''' Aah! Not cool, bro! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Rex:''' ''[Spanish accent]'' Agua, por favor. :'''Caesar:''' Water second, probes first. :'''Rex:''' No offense, but being a guinea pig is a lot less fun when it's you instead of Holiday. :'''Caesar:''' Don't I run the biometric tests with the same efficiency? :'''Rex:''' How are we related? Have you looked at Holiday? :'''Bobo Haha:''' She ain't my species and even I know she's a hottie. :'''Caesar:''' She is... very smart. :'''Rex:''' Where is the Doc anyway? She usually can't wait to get her hands on me. :'''Bobo Haha:''' Saw her this morning, looking pretty grim. :'''Agent Six:''' It's her sister. Her sister's birthday to be precise. Holiday gets introspective this time of year. :'''Caesar:''' Her sister? Oh, is she smart too? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hey guys. Can't talk. Hangar! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Ah, human dames. I don't know how you guys keep up. :''[Dr. Holiday pants]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Thank you for coming, Dr. Moses. It's a genuine honor. :'''Rex:''' Who the heck is that guy? Why is Holiday acting all fangirl around him? :'''Caesar:''' It's Dr. Brandon Moses, the leading researcher in technogenic transmorphing! If anyone's going to develop a kill for EVOs, it's going to be him! :'''Bobo Haha:''' Now, that's actin' fan-girl. :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Not the worst I've seen. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can you help her? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Beverly would be an excellent candidate for my treatments. Have her transported to my facility. :'''Rex:''' Hold up! I know you have a bunch of letters after your name, but curing EVOs is what I do. Some of them-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Some you just can't handle, Rex. Dr. Moses' research goes to places you don't, so if you don't mind-- 10 minutes, then we'll be in the air. Thank you, doctor. I've earned 5 years' worth of personal time, Knight. I plan to use it all. :'''White Knight:''' I don't like it, but I like your sister even less. Go for your "cure", Holiday. But if it doesn't work, don't bring her back. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Agent Six:''' What do you really know about Dr. Moses? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what I saw. :'''Agent Six:''' You're not taking her to the doctor for a checkup. Has he handed you supporting data? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Why won't you let me have this? It's the first glimmer of hope I've had since Rex got here. :'''Agent Six''': I think you've lost your objectivity. If you can't help her-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's the point! I can't! I need this cure. If you won't help me, stay out of my way! :'''Rex:''' Any chance she's right? :'''Agent Six:''' Hope she is. :'''Rex:''' But we're not going to sit around and do nothing in case she's wrong, right? Today you're my sidekick-- Not a fashion-challenged soccer mom blocking my mojo. If there's any chance of playing hero for Holiday, I call dibs. :'''Security guard:''' Dr. Moses' inventions are not for public viewing-- Especially not by Providence. :''[Security guard grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' That "soccer mom" comment really got to you, huh? When did science geeks start packing heat? Huh? :'''Agent Six:''' Check the machine. :'''Rex:''' I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, all this thing does is light up and go "ping". They never cured it! This was a scam! :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday's in trouble. Holiday, Moses is a fraud. There is no cure! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' What's going on here? Moses, what is this? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Business, Dr. Holiday-- Big business. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping aside so I can collect your sister-- :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday?! What's happening?! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Or don't step aside. I'm good either way. :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! We've got our coordinates. Go! :'''Rex:''' It's a hundred miles away! :'''Agent Six:''' Correct. :'''Rex:''' Hold on to your swords, old man! :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]:'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I trusted you! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' A bad trait, a scientist. But look on the bright side-- You won't be locked in a cell anymore. That was just... Shameful. :'''Rex:''' Be the hero. Be the hero. Be the-- :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' ...Zero. You'll be a lot less grouchy in a few seconds, pal. Half cured? That's new. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' They've got Beverly. :'''Rex:''' You wanna talk to her? :'''Agent Six:''' Now's not the time. :'''Rex:''' And when exactly is. She needs a friend, Six. :'''Agent Six:''' I... prefer to keep it professional. Keeps people from getting hurt. :'''Rex:''' Dude. Take off the sunglasses. She's already hurting. If I were you-- :''[Six gets a radio signal]'' :'''Agent Six:''' If you were me, you'd have a lead. Get Holiday. Dust off in 3. :'''Rex:''' Where are we going? :'''Agent Six:''' Moses may be a genius but not because he can cure EVOs. He overpowers them-- Hypercharges the nanites with excess energy to push their transformations. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's why Rex only partially cured that EVO he stripped the EVO of its extra power. But at its core, it was still incurable. :'''Rex:''' We learned something new today. Great. :'''Agent Six:''' Gets worse. Moses has turned his tech into a cottage industry. He takes incurables and weaponizes them to sell to the highest bidder. :'''Rex:''' Don't sugarcoat it, Six. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you find this out? :'''Agent Six:''' I called some former associates-- People who know things, things that good people shouldn't know about. :'''White Knight:''' Question-- Why is my keep on an unapproved mission? :'''Rex:''' It's cool, Knight. We're helping Holiday. :'''White Knight:''' No! We had a deal! Return to base immediately! :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's over guys. I can't drag you down because of my mistake. I won't. :'''Agent Six:''' Keep returning to base. :''[Knight ends the transmission]'' :'''Agent Six:''' I said the keep is returning to base. I didn't say we'd be on the keep. :'''Rex:''' You okay? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hanging in there. :'''Rex:''' Hanging in there is good. I don't like to see you unhappy, you know. I-I mean-- :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I know what you mean. Thanks. :'''Agent Six:''' Better luck next time. :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Jealous much, sidekick? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Who is that? :'''Rex:''' Someone who knows things good people shouldn't. :'''Five:''' Machine boy! Like the new ax? You owe me for the last one. :'''Agent Six:''' We'll talk music later, Five. You have word on Moses? :'''Five:''' Five don't lie. Your guy is running an auction-- Tonight. :'''Agent Six:''' I owe you. :'''Five:''' She's a lot more beautiful than you let on, Six. Try not to screw it up this time. :'''Agent Six:''' You coming? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' The EVO is the military ordinance of the future. We all know it. You drop one of these babies into your neighbor's backyard, and it's game over. But to get the most annihilation out of your nanites... you need me. :'''Human EVO:''' You promised to cure! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' My technology not only amps up their abilities, but, for an extra charge, will modify their behavior to suit your needs. What am I bid for this army of one? :'''Agent Six:''' ''[Bursting in]'' I'll open with extradition for crimes against humanity! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to his bidders]'' Wait! This is just a minor disturbance. :''[Moses groans]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' ''[to Holiday]'' Do you know what you just cost me, all for one hopless wreck?! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday hits Moses]'' Her name is Beverly. :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Then give sissy a hug. :'''Dr Holiday:''' No! Don't hurt her, Rex! :'''Rex:''' Yeah, sure. Handle with care. Whoa! Can you tell her that, too? :'''Agent Six:''' Going nowhere? :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Uh, let's not be ''[chuckling]'' rash. :''[Holiday slaps Moses]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I'm gonna have to get you a dictionary. Rash will not help anyone, especially not Beverly. :''[Holiday grabs Moses]'' :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Who can still be cured. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Holiday drops Moses]'' What? :'''Agent Six:''' ''[Brandishing his swords]'' No games. Truth or dead. :'''Rex:''' Fight still going! Need assistance! Big time! Whoa! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' I did invent a machine that de-powered nanites, almost. But the bonds and nanite particles were too strong to break. Instead, I discovered that I could reverse the polarity to its maximum, overpowering the nanites. It's easier and-- Profitable. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' But you did isolate the bonds? So, you can break them! :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Ugh! Unh! Okay, I called hero, but I need some extra kick for my sidekick! Unh! Seriously! :'''Dr. Brandon Moses:''' Time to earn a return on my investments! Kill them all! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! Whoa! :'''White Knight:''' I won't even bother telling you the trouble you're in. Catch those other EVOs and report to my office the moment you're back. :'''Rex:''' What other EVO-O-O-O-Os? :''[Rex turns around and notices the EVOs behind him]'' :'''Rex:''' Ooos? :'''Rex:''' Think they got it? :'''Agent Six:''' They'd better. We're busy. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Okay. That's the flux transponder. That's the nanite energizer. Don't you explode on me-- Not now. Aah! :'''Rex:''' I'll hand the one crazed sister. You take the other. It'll be like a double date. Don't bother... your sister... while she's working! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I can see what he did, but... uh... there's no time! I can't-- I can't help her! It's over. :'''Agent Six:''' Holiday-- Rebecca-- You are the strongest, smartest woman I have ever met, and the most stubborn. :''[Six removes his glasses and looks her in the eyes]'' :'''Agent Six:''' You never give up. If there's a way to help your sister, find it-- now! :''[Slight pause. Holiday smiles and puts Six's glasses back on his face then leaves]'' :'''Agent Six:''' That's my girl. New plan. Corral her to the machine. :'''Rex:''' Plans are good! Yah! What you got, Doc? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Moses was right. The polarity of the nanite energizer is wrong! I have to amplify and reverse it. But I don't have-- Six... Your magna blades-- But it would be too dangerous. Six! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six! :'''Agent Six:''' Is it working? :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's working. :'''Rex:''' Six, get out of there! :'''Agent Six:''' You called hero on this one, Rex! Finish it-- For her! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unh! Get them out, Rex-- Both of them-- Now! :''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Doc! You gotta see this! :''[Dr. Holiday panting]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[as she's trying to revive Six]'' Don't you do this to me! I will hate you forever if you-- :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :''[Six coughs]'' :'''Beverly:''' Rebecca? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Beverly! :'''Rex:''' That was... I'm... Wow! Six, I've never said it before and I'll probably never say it again, but... I'm honored to be your partner. :'''Bobo Haha:''' Mushy stuff? Oh! Glad I missed it. :'''Rex:''' But don't ever do anything like that again. :'''Agent Six:''' Agreed. But you have to admit though... It was worth it. :''[Dr. Holiday and Beverly laughs]'' :'''White Knight:''' We're not running a boarding house here. No more relatives. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need her for a few more tests, sir. She was only 13 when she went Evo, and she's in a fragile state. :'''Beverly:''' Woo Hoo! :''[Beverly laughing]'' :'''Beverly:''' Rex just took me on a ride through the Zoo on his cycle. :'''White Knight:''' "Fragile." Right. :'''Rex:''' We're going to the mall. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Are you asking permission? :'''Rex:''' No. I'm asking if we can have some money. Providence pays me nada. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Can I have a word with you? :'''Agent Six:''' Sure this is a good idea? Could ruin your hero status with Holiday. :'''Rex:''' It's funny. After meeting Bev, out of nowhere, it hit me that Doc Holiday is just a little too old for me. So, since I'm out of the way, I guess there's nothing stopping you anymore, huh, "hero"? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Well... right. I guess... I'll set up those tests. :''[Holiday starts to walk past Six. Six takes a hold of her hand]'' :'''Agent Six:''' Or... we could get some dinner. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Outside? In the real world? Like real people? Like a-- :'''Agent Six:''' Yes. Like a date. :''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's about time. ===Hong Kong Nights=== ===Whispers in the Dark=== ===Cutting It Close=== ===Exposed=== :'''White Knight''': All Providence personnel, this is a priority-one alert. :'''Agent Six''': Do not panic.

The very future of Providence may depend upon it. :'''Rex Salazar''': So, what's going on? Van Kleiss attack in the HQ again? :'''Agent Six''': Worse. :'''Diane Farrah:''' I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. And to find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long. :'''Rex Salazar''': Aah. :'''Diane Farrah''': All your questions are about to be answered. Welcome to Providence Exposed! ''[Camera closes-up on her face]'' On Ultimate Exposure! And cut. Great into, guys. Okay, moving on. :'''Rex Salazar''': This is cool. :'''Agent Six''': This is wrong. :'''Rex Salazar''': How's my hair? :'''Bobo Haha''': Delicious. :'''White Knight''': Ladies and gentlemen, the delightful Miss Farrah and her crew have used the Freedom of Information Act to force. :''[White Knight clears his throat]'' :'''White Knight''': To allow them access to a day in the life of Providence. And to ensure you are afforded the very best Providence has to offer, I'm assigning our top man as your personal guide. :''[Rex moves towards the news team]'' :'''White Knight''': Six, please show Miss Farrah whatever she wants to see. :'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. On behalf of Providence, I'd like to welcome you to our facility. :'''Diane Farrah''': Spare me the small talk. I'm here to ask the tough questions, and I expect truthful answers. :'''Agent Six''': Shoot. :'''Diane Farrah''': So.. is there a Mrs. Six? :''[Combs her hair]'' :'''Bobo Haha''': Smooth. :'''Rex Salazar''': Like you'd have done better. :'''Bobo Haha''': Are you kidding? They want exposed. I'm going to give that reporter a piece of my mind and a few other pieces while I'm at it. I got stories that'll make them run screaming for the hills. :''[Bobo Haha laughs]'' :'''Agent Six''': If you'll follow me, I'll be happy to show you one of our nanite research labs up close and personal. EVO control is our primary area of concentration, but Providence is focused on a great many studies. Each employing the best and the brightest our planet has to offer. :'''Rex Salazar''': Thanks, Six. You know, this is my brother's lab. He's only like the smartest guy in the entire world. Yeah, being the best at what we do totally runs in our family. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time. :'''Agent Six''': That experiment is highly sensitive. :'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, how did you become a Providence agent? :'''Agent Six''': That's also highly sensitive. :'''Rex Salazar''': Amazing story though about how I became a Providence agent. See, there was this big accident. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Good morning. My name is Dr. Rebecca Holiday, And I'm the chief research officer for the Providence Laboratory Facilities - specializing in the study of evology. Providence's number one priority is the security of our planet. And through the studying and understanding the forces that threaten us-- :'''Diane Farrah''': Let's cut to the chase, shall we, doctor? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, um, okay. :'''Diane Farrah''': How do you balance the threat of EVOs, the constant danger... with being a woman? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Uh. :''[Dr. Holiday laughs nervously]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Oh, excuse me. :'''Rex Salazar''': Speaking of studying, check this out. You can edit that, right? :'''Diane Farrah''': We're all about the editing. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, maybe you could show these journalists some of your other duties, like what you're supposed to be doing right now, for instance. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, man. That's right. Come on. You're going to love this. :'''Diane Farrah''': EVOs come from far and wide for a chance to be cured by this young man. How often do you do this? :'''Rex Salazar''': At least once a week here at HQ. When I'm in other parts of the county or the world, Providence sets up a mobile cure station. There are a lot of people out there who need my help. I only wish I could get to them all. Wait. Um, let my try again. ''[after Rex can't cure an EVO]'' Shut it off. :'''Diane Farrah''': But this is really good drama, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I asked to be on TV. They didn't. Please give these people their privacy. :'''Bobo Haha''': Come on, buddy. Everybody has an off day. :'''Rex Salazar''': In front of millions of viewers? So much for everyone's favorite Providence man of mystery. :'''Bobo Haha''': Well, they're just lucky they haven't had the camera on me yet. Oh man, talk about Ultimate Exposure. When I get through with them-- :'''Rex Salazar''': I just wish I could look cool on camera somehow. :'''Bobo Haha''': Phbt! Good luck. The only way that's going to happen now is if some experimental EVOs busted out of their cages and went on a rampage so you could round them up and look like a hero. :'''Diane Farrah''': Providence isn't known for being forthcoming with information. I hope this interview will change that. The people want answers and I fully expect them from you. :'''White Knight''': Very well. What do you want to know? :'''Diane Farrah''': For starters, how do you get fresh milk without any nanites in it? :'''White Knight''': If you must know, it's passed through a powerful magnet that removes and neutralizes any nanite activity. :'''Agent Six''': Observe. :''[White Knight smacks lips]'' :'''White Knight''': Anything else? :'''Diane Farrah''': Not at the moment, but I'll be back. :'''White Knight''': I look forward to it. :''[White Knight sips]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': So, Agent Six, what do you think about White Knight's obsession with staying nanite-free at the expense of human contact? :'''Agent Six''': He's a man of many mysteries. :'''Rex Salazar''': Look out! Coming through! Dangerous escaped EVOs on the loose! Stand back! Let a professional handle this! :'''Diane Farrah''': Follow him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Yeah, I'm kind of awesome. :'''Bobo Haha''': Did you get them all? :'''Rex Salazar''': How many did you release? :'''Bobo Haha''': I don't know, three or four. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, which was it? Three or four? :''[Rex Salazar gasps]'' :'''Agent Six''': Well then. Now that Rex's little demonstration is over, how about a visit to the Providence gift shop? On me. :'''Diane Farrah''': How long has Providence had a gift shop? :'''Agent Six''': Since 8:00 A.M. You want to tell me how a class by EVO got out of its electromagnetically-sealed container and just happened to cross paths with our tour? :'''Rex Salazar''': It's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen here all the time. I just wanted it to happen this time, in front of the camera, all right? :'''Agent Six''': Not all right. That last EVO-- You just helped it molt so it could grow. Its body is still out there somewhere, getting bigger. :'''White Knight''': Providence is run like a finely tuned machine. Until you decide to throw a monkey wrench into the works. :'''Bobo Haha''': Hey, pal, let's leave the comedy to me. :'''White Knight''': And how is it exactly that these EVOs got out? :'''Bobo Haha''': Okay, Mea Culpa. I may have accidentally knocked open a cage or two-- Or four. :'''Dr. Holiday''': That fourth cage was electromagnetically sealed. :'''Bobo Haha''': I didn't say it was easy. :'''Dr. Holiday''': The EVO we had contained in there feeds on electricity. It must be kept away from any electrical current. :'''Rex Salazar''': Then it sure is a good thing this whole place isn't full of electricity. Oh, wait. :'''White Knight''': Find it. Subdue it. And most importantly, don't let that camera crew see it. :'''Bobo Haha''': Eh, were wastin' time hunting this thing down when I could be on camera right now, giving those people a piece of my mind. :'''Rex Salazar''': Hey, I only saw the EVOs empty husk before. What's the real thing look like anyway? Huh? :'''Bobo Haha''': That. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :''[Rex Salazar grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Any suggestions? :'''Bobo Haha''': Can you make a soccer net? :''[Rex Salazar and Bobo Haha grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Aha! Got you cornered now. There's no way out. You're overpowered. :'''Bobo Haha''': You were saying? :'''Agent Six''': You wanted to interview me. Now's your chance. Go. :'''Diane Farrah''': Um... okay. Tell me, Six-- May I call you Six?-- What is the real truth behind the nanite event that created the EVOs? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified. :'''Diane Farrah''': What is your role, if any, in that event? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified, too. :'''Diane Farrah''': Are you always this talkative? :'''Agent Six''': No comment. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Wait. Let me do that again. You didn't get my good side. Which is my good side? :'''Bobo Haha''': Your backside. :'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, you promised you were taking us to the heart of the operation. :'''Agent Six''': Right. The heart of the operation. This way. :'''Dr. Holiday''': [Watching from a monitor] It went right. :''[Rex goes to his right. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Camera right! :''[Rex goes to the camera's right]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': How can you miss it now? It's six feet in diameter and weighs five hundred pounds! :'''Rex Salazar''': Less criticizing, more helping! :'''Dr. Holiday''': Try to steer it in the direction of Hallway twelve. We can isolate it in the atrium. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, we've got it contained there now. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': No, sorry. I was reading that backwards. Hallway twenty one. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, Hallway twenty one leads to the central core! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, so, no big deal. That's a cold-fission reactor, not electric, right? :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, all electricity is converted from something-- Wind, solar, hydro-- At the central core! :'''Rex Salazar''': Ohh. :''[Providence Agent screams]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh-hoh. :'''Dr. Holiday''': Rex, listen carefully and do exactly as I say because we're only going to get one shot at this. :'''Diane Farrah''': One shot at what, doctor? :'''Dr. Holiday''': The... future. Providence is the future. The future used to be the space program. Now the future is Providence and the science of EVOs. :'''Rex Salazar''': Doc? Are you still there? We have a situation. :'''Agent Six''': Just a minor downgrade of power during a routine relay check. Nothing to worry about. :'''Rex Salazar''': Guys, I could really use some advice right about now! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''White Knight''': Attention all Providence Personnel, we have a Level-One Priority... :''[Realizes the reporters are present]'' :'''White Knight''': Drill. Repeat-- This is our daily drill in the Central Core-- Now. :'''Agent Six''': Lunch bell. It's taco day. Anyone hungry? :'''Diane Farrah''': Agent Six, while we appreciate the commemorative spoons and the tacos, I can't help but think that you've been hiding something from our viewers. :'''Agent Six''': Not at all, ma'am. Providence is an open book. :''[Rex Salazar screams]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': Cut! You're ruining the shot, Rex. Just be patient. I will get to you-- I promise. :''[Rex Salazar groans]'' :'''Agent Six''': Get down. :''[Diane Farrah gasps]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': That was... what you did. :'''Agent Six''': Just doing my job, ma'am. :'''Rex Salazar''': And I'm just doing mine! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': You're not going anywhere now, buddy, except back to your-- Cage? :'''White Knight''': We hope that you and the Ultimate Exposure team are enjoying our EVO containment demonstration, Miss Farrah. All part of readiness training here at Providence. :'''Diane Farrah''': Can I quote you on that? :'''White Knight''': Miss Farah, I'm not gonna stop you from filming, but for your own safety and the safety of your crew, please step back and let my people do what they do best. Alpha Team, I need a containment of the cafeteria, cube formation. Fire! Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm on it. :'''Agent Six''': Stay here. This is the real deal. :'''Diane Farrah''': Not on your life. Find an elevator. We're missing it. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Still not a good ti-i-i-i-i-me! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, big boy. No more crawl spaces. No more Hallways. Just you and me in a big, old hangar bay mano y mano. :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Huh? :'''Bobo Haha''': ''[after Rex has been repeatedly beaten back by the Evo]'' Looks like you showed him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Are you going to talk, or are you going to help? :'''Bobo Haha''': Talk. Kidding! I'm helping! I'm helping! :''[Rex Salazar grunts]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :''[Rex Salazar sighs]'' :''[Rex Salazar groaning]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': Please tell me you're getting all of this. :'''Rex Salazar''': Providence's man of mystery strikes again. Ow! It-- it bit me! :'''Diane Farrah''': Quick, grab some B-roll footage before they get rid of all the evidence. :'''Rex Salazar''': You did see that I did all the heavy lifting and Six just took out the trash, right? :'''Diane Farah''': Don't worry. The camera never lies. :'''Rex Salazar''': Yes! :'''Bobo Haha''': Good! Then get a load of this! :'''Diane Farah''': Do you have something to say? :''[Camera zooms in on Bobo]'' :'''Bobo Haha''': Oh... oh. :''[Bobo mutters then passes out]'' :'''Diane Farrah''': I think we have everything we need. :'''Rex Salazar''': I don't know how you guys came off looking, but yours truly rocked hard. Just call me Providence's Man of Mystery from now on. Oh, yeah! Stardom starts in five, four, three, two-- :'''Diane Farrah''': I'm Diane Farrah, and for the first time ever, we've got an exclusive all-access pass inside the top-secret organization known as Providence. To uncover for our viewers, all the juiciest behind-the-scenes details of this most secret of institutions. :'''Rex Salazar''': We are so dead. :'''Bobo Haha''': Nice knowing you, kid. :'''Diane Farrah''': To find out the real story behind that man of mystery you've all wondered about for so long. :'''Agent Six''': Agent Six is the name. :'''Rex Salazar''': They did it. :'''Bobo Haha''': They did. :'''Dr. Holiday''': This is a news show? What is the world coming to? :'''Diane Farrah''': Look out, ladies. Agent Six is the full package -- brains, brawn, and-- :'''Agent Six''': Highly sensitive. :'''Diane Farrah''': Just what is he hiding behind those alluring, dark glasses of his? :'''Agent Six''': That's classified. :'''Diane Farrah''': He's the Providence agent you women wanted to get to know. :'''Agent Six''': Up close and personal. :'''Diane Farrah''': That's right, girls. :'''Agent Six''': He's The real deal. :'''Diane Farrah''': And he's known throughout Providence as-- :'''Agent Six''': The heart of the operation. :'''Diane Farrah''': He's the organization's best-kept secret, the ultimate agent, and-- :'''Agent Six''': The man of many mysteries. :'''Diane Farrah''': And, yes, ladies, he is single -- or is he? :''[Dr. Holiday laughs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday''': Excuse me. :'''Agent Six''': No comment. :''[Rex and Bobo Haha laughs]'' :'''White Knight''': Well, that's a relief. :'''Rex Salazar''': ''[after the story airs]'' So, man of mystery, what's it like being a big star adored by women everywhere? :'''Agent Six''': No comment. ===Touch and Go=== ===The Siren's Lament=== * Flashbacks as to how Circe came to work for Van Kleiss. <hr width80%> ===Grounded=== ===Six Minus Six=== ===In Dreams=== ===Lions and Lambs=== <hr width80%> :''[Providence agents are standing in an industrial area, fingers on triggers. Rex flies in on jet pack and lands beside all the agents.]'' :'''Rex:''' Any sign? ''[Rex notices agents shaking in fear.]'' Alright then, who’s up for a burger, anyone? Tough crowd. :''[Six walks up.]'' :'''Six:''' These agents seem nervous. Haven’t they dealt with this situation before? :'''Rex:''' Yeah, that's kind of the problem. :''[Rex twitches, as if he is feeling Breach's presence.]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' Here she comes. :''[Breach appears in front of them. They fire at her. She sends their missiles and agents away with red portals.]'' :'''Six:''' How do we stop her? :'''Rex:''' ''[Smack Hands.]'' Hit hard and keep clear of anything that glows. :''[Breach has a collar around her neck like the one Van Kleiss wears, and a device on her chest like his only much larger and shackles are around her giant hands which look like Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical wrist. She opens a red portal. A giant jellyfish-like thing flies out at Six, then a large creature with a horn on its nose runs out. Rex jumps at Breach, she portals out, returns and the device on her chest starts sparking.]'' :'''Rex:''' What's with the new toy, Breach? :'''Breach:''' ''[Glares]'' Wouldn’t you like to know? :''[T-Rex appears through a gold colored portal, sniffs Rex.]'' :'''Rex:''' Seriously, where do you find these things? Let's see what you started out as, big guy. ''[Tries to cure.] Six? This... this isn't an EVO!'' It's an actual T-Rex! ...Six? :''[Rex runs from T-Rex.]'' :'''Breach:''' Have fun. ''[Leaves through red portal.]'' :''[Rex hides behind light pole, T-Rex pulls pole from ground, Rex falls to the ground.]'' :'''Six:''' I take it this sort of thing doesn't happen all the time? :'''Rex:''' Try never? This is all kinds of wrong. :''[Rex makes BFS, runs at T-Rex; Six runs at T-Rex, jumps on and stabs it in back.]'' :'''Holiday:''' Is that what I think it is? :'''Six:''' You mean about to be extinct? :'''Holiday:''' If you destroy the scientific find of a lifetime, it won’t be the only thing. :'''Rex:''' It's trying to eat us. :'''Six:''' You heard the lady. Take it down soft. :'''Rex:''' Easy for you to say. :''[Rex lies on the ground holding the jaws open with Smack Hands and it slobbers on him.]'' :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Video of T-Rex in confinement field. The T-Rex turns to dust.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Breach is powerful enough as it is, and now you're telling me she can travel through time? :'''Holiday:''' However she's doing it, I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. That dinosaur reverted to its actual age about less than two hours after arrival. :'''Caesar:''' Photo and deep scan analysis reveals some very interesting technology at work here. Van Kleiss has really stepped up his game. :'''White Knight:''' Skip the fan talk. How do we stop it? :'''Caesar:''' Until I get my hands on the device, I'm not certain we can. :'''White Knight:''' We have to bring her to our side. :'''Rex:''' The only way she's coming here is if she does it willingly. :'''White Knight:''' How do you propose we persuade her? :'''Rex:''' With me. ''[Six and Holiday stare at him skeptically.]'' I can be very convincing. Okay, okay. I think she might still have a thing for me. :'''Bobo:''' Atta boy, work it on the crazy chick. :'''White Knight:''' I don't care how we do it as long as we get results. Providence is under the microscope. It is the worst time for Van Kleiss to gain the upper hand. Get to it. Bring her in. :''[Six and Holiday walking out of the room together down the hall.]'' :'''Six:''' ''[To Holiday.]'' I need a word. Something's wrong with White. :'''Holiday:''' Oh. That. He’s always like this, Six. :'''Six:''' No. This is different. I know when something is bothering him. The secret meetings, the anxiety. He’s up to something. :'''Holiday:''' I'll see what I can find out. :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Rex on hoverboard, in Providence stealth suit.]'' :'''Rex:''' WHOO-HOO! Works pretty good. After all, I built it. ''[Loses control of board for a moment.]'' :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Van Kleiss's castle, Rex hiding by entrance.]'' :'''Rex:''' Going in. ''[Pulls up stealth mask, disappears partly, runs past guard.]'' :''[Scene change.]'' :''[Breach is hooked up to a large machine. Van Kleiss stands before her with a huge bank of controls and displays, spooky dark lighting. She screams.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' This is unacceptable, Breach. I need you to concentrate. :'''Breach:''' It hurts. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Think of what I'm trying to achieve here. I cannot fail. :''[Breach screams in agony and collapses.]'' :''[Rex looks down horrified, Van Kleiss grins, Breach screams and falls down.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' I'll return when it recharges and we'll start again. :''[Rex holds his hand out to her.]'' :'''Rex:''' Why do you let him do this to you? :'''Breach:''' Glory. :'''Rex:''' Van Kleiss's glory. Is he even noticing how you're tearing yourself apart for him? Have you ever heard him say thank you? What do you say we blow this joint, you and me? He's hurting you. :'''Breach:''' It's not real. It can't hurt you if it isn't real. :'''Rex:''' Breach, look at me. It is. I'm real, all of this is real. You don't have to live this way. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Why am I not surprised. Rex has come to rescue another of my lost sheep. Perhaps he'll try to save you next, Biowulf. :'''Rex:''' That depends. Is he housebroken yet? :'''Biowulf:''' I am no traitor. :'''Van Kleiss:''' You’ve no doubt seen our little experiment. Breach shows great promise. She just needs a little fine tuning. :'''Rex:''' Then what? Go back in time and be king of the cavemen? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Why not? It wouldn’t be much of a step down, now would it? Breach, if you would, remove our guest so we can continue. Practice makes perfect, or in your case, acceptable. :''[Breach makes a red portal.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach! Think about what you're doing. :''[Van Kleiss grins, she runs and puts her arms around Rex, portals out with Rex.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Find her. Now. :''[Mountains, snow, Rex shivering.]'' :'''Rex:''' I'm glad you got us out of there, but where... are we? :'''Breach:''' When the snow is gone you can see forever. :'''Rex:''' That's nice. Can we go now? :'''Breach:''' I need to know if I can trust you. :'''Rex:''' You can trust me. I swear. :''[Breach grabs his hand and hugs him. He opens his eyes. They are standing on a shiny endless reflective surface, reflecting stars.]'' :'''Rex:''' This is different. :'''Breach:''' Do you see it? :'''Rex:''' Um-- :'''Breach:''' This is where the stillness comes from. :'''Rex:''' You. Are weird. So what exactly does this mean? Are you coming with me or is this some kind of test? :'''Breach:''' I need you to see it. :'''Rex:''' Ah... A test. :'''Breach:''' Do you wanna understand? :'''Rex:''' Not exactly sure. ''[She glares, he waves his hands in front of him.]'' Yes, I mean yes. I mean-- :'''Breach:''' Follow me. ''[Walks through red portal.]'' :''[Another place. A door, a doll, a bear and a fire hydrant float in space.]'' :''[Rex hanging upside down, she is holding him by his ankle above a swirling pink vortex.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ahh! What happened? I thought we were getting along fine! :'''Breach:''' Why are you here? :'''Rex:''' Good question. Where exactly is here? Can we go somewhere else now, somewhere like, on Earth? :''[She drops him. He screams and lands on the floor between some stacks of books.]'' :'''Rex:''' You sure know how to pick'em. What kind of tripped out dimension is this? ''[Librarian walks by and shushes him.]'' Oh. College. :'''White Knight:''' ''[On communicator in Rex's right ear.]'' Rex, report. Where on earth have you been? :'''Rex:''' Apparently every place but. :'''White Knight:''' I need to know you can handle this otherwise we're going to try a different approach. :'''Rex:''' You need to chill out, White. I’m making progress. ''[Rex puts his hand to his left ear.]'' Dr. Holiday, are you there? :'''Holiday:''' Tracking shows you’re with Breach. Are you okay? :'''Rex:''' Fine? Creeped out but fine. I can't bring Breach back to Providence, White would just lock her up and that won't help. :'''Holiday:''' Where will you take her? :'''Rex:''' I'll think of something. Just keep White Knight off my case. :''[Breach appears behind him.]'' :'''Rex:''' Why don't you let me pick out where we go next? :''[Scene change.]'' :''[White Knight hands folded moving nervously.]'' :'''White Knight:''' He says he's making progress. :'''Black Knight:''' The committee is losing confidence. They want results, not excuses. :'''White Knight:''' Then that's exactly what they’ll get. :''[Scene change. Rex sits across from Breach in a booth at a bowling alley.]'' :'''Rex:''' Soooo, don't like bowling, huh? I figured with the extra arms you'd be a natural. :'''Breach:''' I'm not supposed to like you, but I do. :'''Rex:''' ''[smiles]'' We're teenagers. At least assuming you are. Doing what we are not supposed to is part of the job. French fry? :''[She takes it and then drops it.]'' :'''Rex:''' Do you remember anything? From before you... changed? :'''Breach:''' I remember everything. And nothing. :'''Rex:''' Naturally. Why did I even bother to ask. Listen, Breach. I'm not going to pretend I understand you, ''[Puts his hand on her giant hand]'' but I can help. If you let me. :''[The machine starts to glow, they jump to their feet, other people look startled.]'' :'''Rex:''' Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. :'''Breach:''' I can't, I can't stop it. :'''Rex:''' Let me try. ''[He tries and it knocks him onto the floor sparking.]'' :'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss has control. They're coming. :''[Van Kleiss busts through the door with The Pack following. Raises bio-mechanical hand, palm of it glows, device on Breach's chest turns off.]'' :'''Rex:''' Okay, do your thing. Get us out of here. Anywhere. :''[she tries]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You can't take what doesn't belong to you. :'''Rex:''' I didn't take you for the jealous type. ''[Rex shoots bowling balls at Van Kleiss with his cannon, hits Biowulf and Skalamander in the face and Van Kleiss punches the balls aside with his bio-mechanical hand.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach, let's go! :''[Breach rides off with Rex on hoverboard, Van Kleiss and Pack follow on three flying fish EVO's with harnesses and big teeth. They dodge and crash Van Kleiss into a window, and land in a park.]'' :''[Breach and Rex stand together on a footbridge looking down into the water.]'' :'''Breach:''' ''[Walks to bridge and looks at her reflection, Rex follows.]'' Will they hurt me? :'''Rex:''' Providence? Not if I can help it. :'''Breach:''' They did before. Ms. Smarty Pants—she likes to hurt me. :'''Rex:''' I'll give you my word, if you come back to Providence, I promise no one will hurt you. :'''Breach:''' We can be together forever and ever. ''[She walks off bridge, ducks swimming in water.]'' :'''Rex:''' Uh... something like that. What am I getting myself into? We gotta move. I bet my brother has already figured out how to turn that thing of yours off. :''[The ducks fly off, they look and see a reflection in the pond of White Knight's ship.]'' :''[White Knight walks up followed by Providence fighter planes.]'' :'''Rex:''' Uh guys, what are you doing?! :'''White Knight:''' If you can't have something done right, do it yourself. :''[They shoot at Breach, she screams, Rex is horrified.]'' :'''Rex:''' No! No! No! ''[walks up bridge to White Knight]'' Do have any idea what you just did? :''[Breach's chest device turns on, she screams, Providence shoots at her.]'' :'''Rex:''' Is this what you wanted? Congratulations! ''[runs to Breach]'' Breach! Wait! :'''Breach:''' Liar! ''[Throws red portal at Rex, he dodges, second one hits him, he disappears. Providence keeps shooting, she throw portals, drops three soldiers in water.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Agent Six! :''[He jumps at her, she portals him away to behind Knight. Rex jumps from the water onto the bridge by Knight.]'' :'''Rex:''' You had no intention to bring her in, did you? :'''White Knight:''' I wanted to believe you, Rex, but this is too important. She can't be controlled. :'''Rex:''' Control... Her powers are back on. Van Kleiss. :''[Van Kleiss arrives on flying fish EVO.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Settle down, Breach. :''[Chest device turns off.]'' :'''Rex:''' Let me do this. I can get through to her. Come on. It couldn't get any worse than you've already made it :''[Knight and Six look at each other.]'' :'''White Knight:''' Form a perimeter around Breach. Van Kleiss isn't to touch her. :''[A rock wall rises from the ground blocking Rex as he runs towards Breach. The Pack jumps down from wall to attack Rex, Six intervenes. Agents surround Breach, she tries and fails to make red portal. Screams. Van Kleiss flies in on fish, knocks down agents with bio-mechanical whip arm, shoots needles from fingers and knocks more down, fish knocks the rest down. White Knight shoots at Van Kleiss.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' If you had any idea what I was trying to do you might even welcome it. :'''White Knight:''' Enlighten me. :''[Van Kleiss touches a tree and it turns into an EVO.

Six and Biowulf fight, Rex and Skalamander fight.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Enlighten you? :''[Sticks his claws in White Knight, glowing White Knight screams.]'' All in good time, White Knight, assuming you have some left. :''[Six throws a magnablade through Van Kleiss's bio-mechanical arm and he lets go of White.]'' :'''Six:''' ''[to White Knight]'' Go. I mean it. ''[White Knight flies off.]'' :'''Six:''' The name's Six. :'''Van Kleiss:''' We've met. :'''Six:''' Don't remember. ''[They fight.]'' :''[Breach on merry-go-round, turning slowly looking at the sky. :'''Rex:''' You're just using her. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Of course I am. She knows it. Spare me the chivalry, Rex. Providence would do the same. :'''Rex:''' Either way you slice it, she loses! :'''Breach:''' ''[to herself]'' My two favorites. You both lie. Neither is real. :'''Rex:''' ''[goes to her]'' Breach, I'm sorry. I meant what I said. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Words mean nothing. :'''Rex:''' Then let this do the talking. ''[Turns on her machine, puts it into her power.]'' :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' You just handed her a loaded gun. :'''Rex:''' And now it's her choice how to use it. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh if only I had the chance to get through to you, Rex, to teach you how the world really works. :''[Breach steps in front of Van Kleiss, raises her arms as if to send Rex away. Makes huge yellow portal above them.]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Our very first time traveler. You should be honored. Now Breach, if you wouldn't mind. :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :''[Rex closes his eyes. Breach sends Van Kleiss away with yellow portal.]'' :'''Rex:''' That was... unexpected. :''[Rex tries to turn machine off but fails.]'' :'''Rex:''' It won't turn off. I'm sorry. I, I didn't know. :'''Breach:''' Van Kleiss made it like this so I wouldn't send him away. :'''Rex:''' That didn't work out so well did it? Six, get everyone out of here now! ''[A big yellow dome forms around the playground where Rex and Breach stand.]'' :'''Rex:''' So, what's going to happen? :''[Rex and Breach are about to be engulfed by Breach's out of control time portal]'' :'''Breach''': ''[she looks up]'' I don't know if any of this was real. But it was nice having a friend for a while. ''[Rex smiles, Breach hugs him as they dispensary in the golden time portal]'' :'''Rex:''' I didn't get blown up. ''[Sees a lizard.]'' Whoa! ''[Jumps away, startled.]'' Oh no, please don't let this be dino time. ''[Touches earpiece in left ear.]'' Rex to Providence, do you copy? :''[Takes earpiece out and looks at it.]'' Oh... Rex to Providence, you better be there. :'''Providence Agent:''' Uh... we copy, Rex. We have a lock on your coordinates and are sending a jump jet. :'''Rex:''' Is Six okay? Breach went supernova. :'''Providence Agent:''' Someone's on the way, just hold tight. Providence out. :''[Scene change, Rex lying on the ground.]'' :'''Rex:''' Took you long enough. :''[Turns over and sees Providence agents, pointing guns at him.]'' :'''Providence Agent:''' Rex is onboard. Heading back to HQ. :'''Rex:''' HQ? Ten minutes ago I was in the middle of an epic battle. You need to take me back! :'''Providence Agent:''' Um, that battle is over. :'''Rex:''' What happened? Is Six okay? Guys...what's going on? :''[They arrive at HQ.]'' :'''Caesar:''' Baby brother, you're okay! ''[Runs and hugs him.]'' :'''Rex:''' Breach just sent me to nowheresville. Nothing to freak out over. :'''Caesar:''' ''[To Providence agent.]'' You didn't tell him? :'''Providence Agent:''' Our orders were just to bring him back. :'''Rex:''' Tell me what? Hey, when did you... have a beard? :'''Caesar:''' There's no easy way to tell you this, hermano. Breach didn't just send you to the middle of nowhere. You've been gone for six months. :'''Rex:''' Six months?! So this is-- :'''Caesar:''' Technically, the future. I should warn you, there've been a few changes. :'''Rex:''' You didn't give away my room, did you? :'''Caesar:''' As a matter of fact, they did. :'''Rex:''' What?! Caesar, tell me what's going on here. :'''Caesar:''' It would be better if I showed you. :'''Rex:''' White Knight taking visitors now? :'''Caesar:''' I'll wait out here. :''[Rex sees Providence agents dressed in black.]'' :'''Rex:''' Nice suits. :''[Goes into the office.]'' :'''Rex:''' Ah... Love what you've done with the place. White? :''[Person in chair turns around, it's a woman, not White Knight.]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Thank you, Rex. ''[She gets up and walks towards him.]'' It was a little bright for my taste. White Knight is no longer associated with this organization. :'''Rex:''' He quit? :'''Black Knight:''' He...attempted a hostile takeover and failed. Can I get you anything? Water? A snack? :'''Rex:''' I don't want a snack! Where's Six? Where's Holiday!? :'''Black Knight:''' This must upsetting to you. Change is never easy but from I understand, you've been in situations like this before. Everything's going to be fine. :'''Rex:''' Who are you?! :'''Black Knight:''' Someone very happy to have you back. Call me Black Knight. ==Season Three (2011-2013)== ===Back in Black=== : '''Rex''': Okay, I get what's going on here. : '''Black Knight''': I'm relieved to hear that, Rex. : '''Rex''': You can come out! I know you're there! : '''Black Knight''': Rex? : '''Rex''': We're friends, now, remember? Breach? : '''Black Knight''': Breach isn't here, Rex. The world's changed. As soon you accept th-- : '''Rex''': No, I'm not ignoring you. It's just that you're not real. : '''Black Knight''': I assure you I'm very real-- As is all of this. : '''Rex''': ''[Chuckling]'' Oh, come on. It's been a fun time in the ol' Breachscape, but, you know, time to go home now. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': Seen this before. Usually ends with a black hole. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, you're disoriented. Let me-- : '''Rex''': Sorry, non-lady. No time. Got an exit to find! Shall we aprehend? : '''Black Knight''': It won't be necessary. : '''Caesar''': Rex! Have you lost it? : '''Rex''': Caesar! We're in a pocket dimension! It could collapse at any second! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Caesar''': That's crazy, Rex. This is not a pocket dimension. : '''Rex''': You're right! It's a whole alternate universe! And-- and-- and you're my Brother's evil twin! Out of the way! Six! Six! Doc! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Rex''': Dr. Holiday! Doc! : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex''': Wha-- Well, at least some things haven't changed. Whoa! Whoa! Okay, now I-- Bleh-- know I'm in an-- Aah!-- alternate universe. Unh! You can go ahead and -- Blech!-- Eat me now, please. : '''Black Knight''': Release. : '''Rex''': You were... saying something about changes? : '''Black Knight''': There have been a few. : '''Caesar''': You've got temporal lag, Rex. It's kind of like altitude sickness, only in time. Here-- This will balance your electrolytes. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex''': So this is really-- : '''Black Knight''': Really. Welcome to the future, Rex-- Or, rather, to the present. Without your healing abilities, Providence has embraced a new paradigm. We've moved beyond the outmoded era of "cure, contain, or kill." : '''Rex''': And into the era of "serious leash laws". : '''Caesar''': We used the petting zoo as our test bed. What do you think? : '''Rex''': I think it needs a new name, 'cause, you know, now it really is one. : '''Caesar''': We've developed new techniques for working with EVOs. It's all about understanding them better. : '''Rex''': So, you're some sort of "EVO whisperer"? : '''Caesar''': ''[laughs]'' It's a bit more complicated than that. You sure you're okay? ''[sighs]'' It's good to have you back, brother. : '''Black Knight''': Family ties. They transcend even time itself. : '''Rex''': Caesar's not my only family. : '''Black Knight''': I'll bring you up to speed on the others. When you went M.I.A., White Knight lost his biggest weapon in the war for EVO containment. : '''Rex''': Figures that I have to vanish for him to appreciate me. : '''Black Knight''': White became erratic-- some might say paranoid. Directorate lost faith in his ability to lead. : '''Rex''': Directorate? I never knew white even had a boss. : '''Black Knight''': There are, shall we say, layers. I was named as his replacement. : '''Rex''': Let me guess-- he didn't take it well. : '''Black Knight''': You could say that. : '''Providence Agent''': White Knight! Sir! Stand down! : '''White Knight''': I'd rather go down in flames than see Providence in the hands of the enemy. : '''Providence Agent''': He's got a bomb! Fall back! All units fall ba-- : '''Rex''': Whoa! That was-- : '''Black Knight''': Your room. : '''Rex''': Huh? Aww, man! But... Six... Holiday... where-- : '''Black Knight''': Where do you think? They're out looking for you. Agent Six and Holiday took indefinite leave. They've been off the grid ever since. I've attempted to contact them, but no response. : '''Rex''': Mind if... I give them a ring? Not that I don't trust you. : '''Black Knight''': ''[sarcasm]'' But you don't trust me. Natural, given the circumstances. Be my guest. ''[after Rex gets disconnected]'' It won't take long, to locate them. Meanwhile, there are many familiar faces who will be glad to hear you're back. Which reminds me... ''[tosses Rex a sack]'' This is everything we salvaged from your room. : '''Rex''': ''[opening the sack to find his ball]'' Huh. Talk about starting over. : '''Black Knight''': You could you know. There's still a place for you in the-- : '''Rex''': My room. I thought you said it was trashed. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, wait. : '''Rex''': What's the matter, Black? This where you're hiding all your evil secrets? : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex''': Um... Wow! : '''Black Knight''': This entire wing was destroyed in the blast. I had the space... repurposed. : '''Rex''': White wouldn't even splurge for private stalls. : '''Black Knight''': As you see, I treat my finest people to the very finest things. : '''Rex''': Sure. I'll take one of those, please. : '''Black Knight''': It's yours-- and anything else you'd like. : '''Rex''': As long as I do whatever you want-- That it? : '''Black Knight''': On the contrary-- you're a seasoned agent. I have a few boundaries, but otherwise, handle matters as you see fit. : '''Rex''': Say I refuse. : '''Black Knight''': Then I turn you over to mel. ''[chuckling]'' I'm kidding. You're free to leave whenever you like. But I hope you'll stay. Now, more than ever, Providence needs a Rex. So, how do you feel? Like I haven't used one of those in Six months-- Which I haven't. You mind? Bobo? : '''Bobo''': Rex! Heard you were back. So great to see you, buddy. Whoa. Just a sec, there, pal. Gotta love those certain towelettes. : ''[Bobo whistling]'' : '''Bobo''': What? Never seen a monkey wash his hands before? : '''Rex''': Not this one. : ''[Bobo munching]'' : '''Rex''': You wanna tell me what's gotten into you or what? : '''Bobo''': What are you talking abou-- Unh! Hey! : '''Rex''': Sorry. For a minute, I thought you were... : '''Bobo''': Robo Bobo? Wanna check for a tv in my butt? : '''Rex''': Pass. But come on. You've, I don't know, mellowed or something. : '''Bobo''': Guess I just don't have a big need to act out these days, what with you and everyone gone. Plus, the employee benefits are pretty sweet. : '''Black Knight''': Rex, we've got a little EVO problem. Providence could use your help. Ready to get back in the game? : '''Rex''': If it involves getting out of here, that would be a "yes." You coming? : '''Bobo''': I'll join ya on the next one. I got Tai Chi at 2:00. : '''Rex''': Missing an EVO smackdown? That doesn't sound like you. : '''Bobo''': Did I mention the instructor has a thing for back hair? : '''Rex:''' Ew. Okay. That sounds like you. What is it and where do I find it? : '''Providence Agent''': We've got an EVO in the subway tunnels, people trapped in one of the trains. The power's out down there, too. : '''Rex:''' Sounds like a street worm. Sure it's just one? Rex to H.Q. Okay, new chief, how do you want to do this? : '''Black Knight:''' You're the expert. : '''Rex:''' I am? Uh, I mean, of course I am. It's just that Six usually-- : '''Black Knight:''' You don't need help, Rex. Handle it as you see fit. Black, out. : '''Rex:''' What's this strange feeling that's come upon me? Could it be... : ''[Rex shudders]'' : '''Rex''': Responsibility?! Okay. Assemble your guys over there. Be ready for me. Should the guys grab flashlight. Or... better. Not a bad pre-show. Now for the main event. : '''Providence Agent:''' How did you know? : '''Rex:''' These things usually travel in pairs. I used lights from my builds to make it think I was another worm. Have your bug net handy. They're so cute after I shut them down. : '''Rex:''' Sorry B.K. No can cure. : '''Black Knight:''' Understood. Our team will take it from here. : '''Rex:''' Um, take what where? : '''Providence Agent:''' Move into the vehicle! Move... into... the vehicle! Hit her again! : '''Rex:''' Um, what just happend? : '''Black Knight:''' That's all for now, Rex. Nicely done. : '''Rex:''' Hm. Wait. What are you gonna do with it? : '''Providence Agent:''' Standard rehab and re-lo. It's all very humane. : '''Rex:''' I'd love to see that. Mind if I tag along? : '''Black Knight:''' Sorry, Rex. Authorized personnel only. You've done your job. Now let the team theirs. : '''Rex:''' But-- : '''Black Knight:''' Boundaries, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Boundaries. Got it. Rex, out. : '''Caesar:''' Main container reached. Attach stabilizer ring. : '''Rex:''' Humane? Yeah, right. : ''[Bobo yawns]'' : '''Bobo:''' See? Great employee benefits. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. Right. Hey, you got a tag sticking out in the back. Mind if I-- : '''Bobo:''' Thanks, pal. Well, off to yoga. : '''Caesar:''' You really shouldn't be here, hermano. : '''Rex:''' The petting zoo? The worm? My monkey practicing good hygiene? You're using that thing to control my friend! : '''Caesar:''' He's still the same Bobo you know and love. He just need a few boundaries. : '''Rex:''' He's not the same, and neither are you! You should hear yourself! : '''Caesar:''' Making the world safer isn't possible without some form of control. And you'd better get some control of yourself, mijo. : '''Rex:''' Or what? You'll use that thing on me? : '''Caesar:''' Open your eyes to all the good we're accomplishing. Isn't this better than smacking them with your giant fists? : '''Rex:''' That's combat! I protect people and property! Okay, property, not so much, but this? If you can't see the difference, then maybe I never knew you at all! : '''Caesar:''' It doesn't matter. I have work to do. : '''Rex:''' So do I! : ''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Uses his Smack Hands to smash everything around him]'' : '''Caesar:''' Rex! Stop! : '''Black Knight:''' Snooping around, Rex? See, that's another one of my boundaries. : '''Rex:''' White Knight may have had his issues, but he never resorted to anything like this! : '''Black Knight:''' I never planned to do this, Rex, but you've become a danger. : '''Rex''' ''[shocked]'': Caesar! Think! You can't do this! : '''Caesar:''' Of course I'm thinking. This is the logical conclusion to what we started. : '''Rex:''' The logical-- Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Raaah! Aah! : ''[Caesar blasts the mind-control laser, causing Rex to scream and groan in pain]'' : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. You'll thank me later. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' You... better... believe I will! : '''Caesar:''' Please don't resist! It's only painful if you struggle! : '''Black Knight:''' What's taking so long? : '''Caesar:''' He's fighting it! His nantic energy is spiking off the scale! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Boost power. : '''Caesar:''' It's not safe to-- : '''Black Knight:''' It's for the best. : ''[Caesar increases power, causing Rex's nanites to go haywire as a tear fall down his cheek, heartbroken about his own brother betraying him]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Manages to overpower the mind-control machine, much to the surprise and wonder of Caesar and Black Knight]'' : '''Rex:''' You just drew a line in the sand, bro! ''[runs off]'' : '''Black Knight:''' You'd better have a backup. : '''Caesar:''' The prototype. Not portable, but more than enough power, even for him. : '''Black Knight:''' Get it ready. : '''Rex:''' Unh! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' No mood to get slimed right now, mel! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' What happened to your EVO control? : '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Black Knight reactivates Mel's control]'' A demonstration. You know what would happen without our influence. : '''Rex:''' So, you're hijacking its brain, like you tried to do with mine. : '''Black Knight:''' That won't be necessary if you'll willingly cooperate. : '''Rex:''' Translation-- if I do everything you say. : '''Black Knight:''' You've seen how we can work together. Providence still needs you. There will always be a few EVOs we can't control. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. I'm one of them. : '''Black Pawns:''' Shall we pursue? : '''Black Knight:''' Most definitely. : '''Rex:''' Gangway! Coming through! Huh? No! Huh. Black Pawns. Overdoing the whole theme, don't you think? : ''[Rex groaning]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Yah! I'm getting beat up by the chess club! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Black Knight:''' We... got off on the wrong foot. Stow the hardware and come with us. You have my word you won't be harmed. We can start over-- the right way. : '''Bobo:''' You mind? You're interrupting the enjoyment of my employee benefits. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : ''[Rex panting]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Black Knight:''' ''[after Rex was tranquilized]'' Excellent work. Take him to the lab. : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' What? No way! You're not turning my brain to mashed potatoes! Doc?! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Welcome back, Rex. : '''Six:''' Good to see you, kid. : '''Rex:''' Before I blame this on a Burrito-induced nightmare, will someone please tell me-- What... Is... Going... On?! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' What do you think? We've been looking for you. : '''Six:''' We knew Providence might find you first. Fortunately, we planted a mole. : '''Bobo:''' Ehh. Rex! Put 'er there! : '''Rex:''' Uhh! You didn't wash! Oh! You didn't wash! But that means... that he really was... Robo Bobo? : '''Bobo:''' In the flesh. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Literally. I gave it a biological upgrade, complete with his own nanites and... fleas, ticks, lice, chigger mites. : '''Bobo:''' What can I say? I'm an ecosystem. : '''Six:''' It's enough to fool your brother's equipment. The robot is only providing limited intel. But one thing is sure-- new Providence is about more than just getting EVOs off the streets. : '''Rex:''' I saw it. Whatever they're doing over there is seriously messed up. : '''Six:''' That's why we've set up our own operation. : '''Rex:''' ''[Long pause as Rex sees the new HQ]'' Whoa! Where did you get all of this? : '''Six:''' We have our sources. : '''Rex:''' So, we're like super-secret spies now? Cool! :''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' It's too bad about White, though. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss that pasty guy. : '''White Knight:''' ''[White enters]'' How touching, Rex. I, on the other hand, have rather enjoyed the last six Rex-free months. Now... If we're done with the love-in, we have work to do. : '''Rex:''' It really can't get any better than this. Oh, except one thing-- Can I get a TV? ===Crash and Burn=== *From this episode, Rex can create two builds at once :''[Bobo yawns]'' :'''Bobo:''' They say nothin' good happens after midnight. And, you know, they're right. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm worried about you, Bobo. Since we left Providence, you've been staying out every night. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :''[Bobo munching]'' :''[Bobo gulps]'' :'''Bobo:''' That's not the least of your worries. Seen our boy lately? :''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex is fine. He just needs time to adjust to our new setting. Rex? It's Holiday. Are you there? :'''Rex:''' Hey, doc. What up? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Just checking in. Everything okay? :'''Rex:''' Better than okay. I'm about to set a new land-speed record' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That wasn't what I meant. How are you feeling? :'''Rex:''' Appreciate the concern, but the only thing on my mind right now is the need for speed. Apparently, I'm not alone. I'll call you back. Hey! Slow down! I want to talk to you! Ah. You want to play chicken. Doc? Bobo? I'm getting blitzed by some bikers. Aah! :'''Rand:''' Might as well give up! I won't quit! I'm a relentless, never-say-die, nonstop-- Uh, hey, wait a minute. Who are you? :'''Rex:''' Think you could have asked me that before trying to run me down? :'''Rand:''' Ooh! My fault. I thought you were one of us. :'''Rex:''' "One of us"? What is this? :'''Rand:''' Sorry, dude. No time to chat. Peace. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, like I'm gonna take that for an answer. A street race? Or a demolition derby? :''[Lance grunts]'' :''[Lance groans]'' :'''Lance:''' Gonna need a bike. :'''Rex:''' Can't believe you survive that! You must be the luckiest guy on the-- These are nanites. :''[Lance groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Oh, come on! :'''Six:''' Something wrong? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Prototypes. I prefer tried-and-tested. And I don't even know what we're going to do with half of this stuff. :'''Bobo:''' You're goin' soft, gettin' worked over by a bunch of goofballs on motorcycles. :'''Rex:''' They had weapons. :'''Bobo:''' Last time I checked, so did you. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, but not while I'm on my bike. I'm strictly one at a time. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The nanites that have infected his body are slowly poisoning him. I've never seen anything like it. :'''Rex:''' Do what you can, Doc? I'm gonna go out and look for those racers. :'''Bobo:''' Sounds dangerous. :'''Rex:''' Sure, Bobo. You can come, too. The nanites we found on the biker gave off a different energy signature. Gonna use one of Holiday's new toys to try to scan for it. A bunch of them. And they're moving fast. :'''Bobo:''' Then step on it! Maybe Holiday has a point about prototypes! :'''Rex:''' Or maybe they're not on the streets. I'll watch the road. You watch the screen. :'''Bobo:''' Gotta warn you-- Chimps make bad navigators! :'''Rex:''' Just do it! :'''Bobo:''' Hmm? Left! You're goin' left! Make a right! Another right! :'''Rex:''' Which way? :'''Bobo:''' I don't know! That way-ish! Wah! Like I said-- Monkeys make great navigators! This is your biker gang? :'''Rex:''' They had weapons before I'm telling you-- They're tough! :'''Bobo:''' If you say so. :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Bobo:''' Wall. :''[Bobo and Rex grunts]'' :'''Moss:''' That's some fancy ridin'. You following us, kid? :'''Rex:''' Still think they don't look tough? :'''Bobo:''' I take it back. :'''Moss:''' Who are you, kid? 'Cause whoever you are, you're not bad. :'''Rand:''' You're awesome! Where'd you learn to ride like that? Anybody with that kind of skill should be with us. Yeah! :'''Moss:''' What's your secret? :'''Rex:''' No secret. I'm just built that way. :'''Lunk:''' Is that guy from TV-- The one who fights EVOs. :'''Bobo:''' Five bucks for pictures, ten bucks for autographs. :'''Rand:''' A talking monkey! Outrageous! I gotta have one. Is he for sale? :'''Bobo:''' Brother, you can't afford me. :'''Rex:''' You guys seem tight-- For guys who try to kill each other. :'''Rand:''' We're not killers. We're racers. This is a legitimate sport. :'''Moss:''' It is what it is. Our races aren't for the weak. Name's Moss. You've met Rand. :'''Rex:''' He tried to blow me up. :'''Rand:''' I missed. You're welcome. Come on, don't leave me hangin'. :'''Moss:''' Never met a celebrity who could ride. :'''Rex:''' I caught you, didn't I? :'''Moss:''' But are you tough enough try me? :'''Rex:''' Try me. :'''Bobo:''' You gotta fight back? :'''Rex:''' With what? :'''Bobo:''' Oh, brother. Fine, leave it to Chimpy. Aah! I'll take that. Phbt! :'''Rex:''' Something else on the map-- Moving fast! And it's big! :'''Providence Agent:''' Halt! You kids! Pull over! Now! :'''Moss:''' Cops! :'''Bobo:''' Worst than cops-- Providence. :'''Rex:''' The bikes give off a nanite signature. They must have tracked it. :'''Providence Agent:''' Rex, what are you doing here? :'''Rex:''' Research. You don't want to get caught up in this! Back off now! Sorry, guys. Have Black Knight sent me the bill. :'''Rand:''' Ha! No way! You want to beat me, you gotta step your game up. Aah! :''[Rand groans]'' :'''Rex:''' Rand! :'''Bobo:''' Don't stop! Kid's wearing armor. He's fine. :'''Rex:''' No! Something's wrong! :''[Rand groans]'' :'''Rex:''' What is this thing? Doc? Get over here quick. We've got another one. :'''Biker gangs:''' WHOO-HOO-HOO! :''[Biker gangs laughs]'' :'''Biker gangs:''' Yeah! :'''Moss:''' We thought you'd bailed on us. Where were you? :'''Rex:''' Watching a doctor try to save Rand's life. :'''Moss:''' Racers get sick sometimes. It's part of the life. :'''Rex:''' Those nanite power sources-- you got to stop using them. To feel one with the road, that rush? So some people get sick. When we're on our rides, nothing else matters. :'''Rex:''' Your rides are killing you! You're gonna be dead-- All of you! And for what? So you can go a little faster? :'''Moss:''' We need those things to ride. You know what it's like. :'''Lunk:''' Please. Don't take our bikes away. :'''Rex:''' Nobody's going to take your bikes. But I need to know where you got those nanites. :'''Lunk:''' ''[sighs]'' A guy named Valve. He supplies the superchargers. :'''Moss:''' You're wasting your time. Valve never talks to anybody. :'''Rex:''' He'll talk to me. :'''Bobo:''' Been in a lot of bad biker dives, but this is the worst I've ever seen. :'''Valve:''' Enter, strangers. The biker will see you now. Please, sit. May I offer you some tea? :'''Rex:''' I'll pass. :'''Valve:''' Suit yourself. I find a good cup of tea soothing-- for the body and the soul. :''[Valve slurps]'' :'''Valve:''' You don't have to tell the biker why you're here. The biker can tell. You wish to buy a supercharger. :''[Valve slurps]'' :'''Rex:''' Your superchargers are killing people. It's gonna stop. :''[Valve breathes deeply]'' :'''Valve:''' Hmm. That sounds like a challenge. :'''Rex:''' Maybe it is. I'll race you for them. If I win, you hand over your entire stockpile. :'''Valve:''' Shh! Your answer is on the wind. :'''Rex:''' You're... not right in the head, are you? :'''Valve:''' When the wind commands, the impossible game must be gamed. The challenge is accepted. We will race for the superchargers. And when the biker wins... It won't matter. :'''Rex:''' Why is that? :'''Valve:''' Because you'll be dead. Let the race begin. :'''Moss:''' This is his own private track. He knows it better than anyone. You can still back out-- Probably. :'''Rex:''' And let people become poison, like Valve? No. I can take him. Just give me something to hit him with. You guys are walking arsenals. You don't have anything? :'''Moss:''' You didn't think we'd need 'em today. :'''Bobo:''' Oh, boy. :'''Six:''' Message from Holiday. The two sick teens have stabilized, but she's still a ways from finding a cure. :'''Rex:''' It was the only weapon I could find, okay? Can I borrow the sword? :'''Six:''' Use your own. :'''Rex:''' On wheels? It's not gonna happen. :'''Six:''' What's stopping you? :'''Rex:''' Well, for one thing, I-- Um, not sure exactly. :'''Six:''' What have I been teaching you? Focus on what you want and make it happen. No more excuses. :''[Bobo munching]'' :''[Bobo munching]'' :'''Valve:''' You're lucky. One the very best get a chance at this track. :'''Rex:''' Then I should fit right in. Rules of the game-- ten laps. Cross the finish line before the biker, and you may have them. :'''Rex:''' So, is the wind talking to you now? :'''Valve:''' The wind commands the Biker to destroy you. The Biker is happy to oblige. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Bobo:''' You gonna help him? :'''Six:''' He's doing fine. :'''Bobo:''' Are you watchin' the same race I am? :''[Valve grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' You're in trouble, Rex! No. Keep it together. Keep... it... together. Six said it-- Focus. Focus. Focus! :''[Valve laughs]'' :'''Valve:''' Oblivion. :'''Six:''' Like I sad-- He's doing fine. :'''Rex:''' Double-up! Where have you been all my life? :''[Valve grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Cute toy. But I like mine better. :'''Valve:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' Was there any doubt? :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, plenty. :''[Valve panting]'' :'''Rex:''' We had the deal. Remember? :'''Valve:''' Like the storm that changes directions on a whim, the biker is changing the deal. 'Cause the biker-- ''[grunts]'' Doesn't like! ''[grunts]'' The biker-- ''[grunts]'' never loses! ''[grunts]'' Unh! :'''Rex:''' First time for everything. Thank you, Six. :'''Six:''' It was all you, kid. :'''Moss:''' Rand! :'''Biker gangs:''' Oh, Rand! Good to see you! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Completely detoxified. In a couple days, they'll be back to full strength. Those could be useful at the new base. :'''Moss:''' You can't stop us from riding. :'''Rex:''' What's stopping you? You can still ride. You just won't be poisoned by nanites. Come on. Race you back to the garage. :''[Rex rides off]'' :'''Moss:''' ''[Chasing after Rex]'' You heard the man. Hit it! :'''Six:''' You do realize we just turned a group of reckless teenage boys loose on the city. :'''Bobo:''' All in a day's work. ===Heroes United, Part 1=== : '''Rex:''' Six, hold on! Holiday, Six is down! Six is down! This is all your fault! Holiday? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I'm doing everything I can, Rex. We have to focus on the bigger picture. Six would want us to. : '''Rex:''' Figures the only time I do what Six would want, he's in a coma. : '''White Knight:''' I'll be having the pleasure of helping Providence figure out how to close the rift. The rest of you can deal with that machine. : '''Rex:''' It got blown to bits along with Six, remember? : '''White Knight:''' Don't be so sure. Someone needs to find out what that is and where it went. : '''Ben:''' I can do that. : '''Bobo:''' You-- Ain't doing nothing but sitting pretty and shutting up. : '''Rex:''' And if Six of them pull through, you won't even be able to do that. : '''Ben:''' I'm sorry about your friend, honestly. Obviously, he's important to you. But I have no clue what's even happening here. I've never heard of Providence or EVOs or-- One minute I'm doing a TV interview. The next, hole in the ky, flash a light and I'm punching out a mecha monster. Then I end up in a world where nobody knows me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' He might actually be telling the truth. Ben's nanite absorption level indicates he came through that rift without any. : '''Rex:''' I thought White Knight was the only living thing on Earth that's nanite-free. : '''Ben:''' So you mean I have those things in me now? Great. Where's my space suit? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll live. Still doesn't explain how you got here. : '''Ben:''' We're probably looking at a parallel world thing. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Parallel worlds are a theory, and a shaky one at that. : '''Ben:''' Are you serious? I go home all the time. Maybe if you knew where that mech alien was from, it might help prove-- : '''Rex:''' Quit talking! : '''Ben:''' Exactly. Nothing's gonna get answered sitting around here. : '''Rex:''' In case you hadn't noticed, we're holding you under house arrest. : '''Ben:''' You aren't holding me. I was staying to see how I could help. : '''Big Chill:''' You aren't the only person worried about someone close to you. : '''Rex:''' I got this. : '''White Knight:''' Rex, don't! I hate kids. : '''Caesar:''' Nanite Cloud. These are being drawn in from the atmosphere. Now where are you? So it is you. This is most disturbing. : '''Rex:''' Why don't you just go back where you came from? : '''Big Chill:''' I'm trying to, you do? Oh no. : '''Rex:''' What? : '''Ben:''' Mr. Smoothie isn't here. That's messed up. : '''Rex:''' My partner is in a coma. If you're stressing over a frozen drink, you are totally getting punk-fusted. : '''Ben:''' We're in Bellwood, my hometown, where it should be. But it's all different. Part of me hoped it wouldn't be, but this pretty much proves it. : '''Rex:''' This doesn't prove anything! : '''Ben:''' You know the friend you care about? Well, I have a cousin, a grandfather, a best friend that I care about! They don't exist here! I may never see them again! I'm totally alone! So go ahead! Do your worst. : '''Rex:''' Maybe we can... help each other. : '''Ben:''' You... do that? What's that sound? <hr width80%> : '''Rex:''' I'm curious how big brother knows about something from a parallel dimension. : '''Caesar:''' Because I sent it there. In the early days of the Nanite Project, our goal was simple. Construct microscopic machines to cure diseases, grow new cells, regenerate bones. They was a control issue. Some thought a human-machine link was the answer. Others proposed that the machines control themselves. I was in latter cam. I developed the Alpha to control other nanites. To maximize its effectiveness, I had to program Alpha to think for itself. :'''Ben:''' Does a low explanation mean something bad on your Earth too? :'''Rex:''' Yep. :'''Caesar:''' Alpha developed its own consciousness. It evolved into a unique life-form. It wanted a body, but whatever it built burned out. So when Alpha attempted possessing living this, Alpha had to be eliminated. So I built a dimensional disruptor. :'''Ben:''' Looks like a Null Void gun. We got some like those back home, too. ===Heroes United, Part 2=== :'''Alpha:''' The nanites in those creatures. They are different, powerful. Your nanites are weak. I have no use for you. Where is the boy? :'''Holiday:''' His nanites are off limits!! <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' My brother!? Look around! He's not here! :'''Alpha:''' The father is redundant. Now that I found you. <hr width80%> :'''Alpha:''' I cannot merge! What makes you so special, human? Yes. You shelter an Omega. <hr width80%> :'''White Knight:''' Don't let it get to Rex! If it drains his nanites-! :'''Diamondhead:''' Game over. I get it. <hr width80%> :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, your biometrics are dangerously low. You need to get away. :'''Rex:''' Listen to me, Alpha controls nanites. So do I. Why don't I just shut him down? :'''Ben:''' Hey, Jerk-asaur! You're a loser! Ha! You see that? Hero Time! :'''Rath:''' Oh, yeah! Let's cause some pain! :'''White Knight:''' Wait! Not while they're linked! :'''Rath:''' Oh, you did not just stop me! :'''Alpha:''' The power you hold is impressive. :'''Rex:''' You mean the power to kick your butt? :'''Alpha:''' The power to create machines. You are not worthy of such a gift. The Omega nanite is mine. :'''Rath:''' Aaah! Take this and this! What do you think of what?! :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Alpha:''' I misguided to place my trust in a father that did not want me. I never needed him. I simply needed the energy and means to do what I have always done-- Evolve. :'''Ben:''' You okay? :'''Rex:''' No. Definitely not okay. It took my Omega nanite, and I think I know what I wants. :'''Alpha:''' Behold, organics... The beginning and the end of all things. I am Alpha-Omega. This is the twilight of humanity. Alpha-Omega destroys all. :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex:''' Holiday, are you seeing this? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Unfortunately, yes. We're not looking at random destruction. Alpha is synthesizing the matter around him to build his own nanite. :'''Rex:''' Thanks to my Omega nanite! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This isn't your fault, Rex. :'''Rex:''' Sure feels like it. I woke up this morning on top of the world. Now I'm about to witness the end of it. Six was right. :'''Ben:''' I don't think this is how it was meant to play out. I've seen what you can do. :'''Rex:''' My most powerful builds came from the Omega nanite. A lot of people are going to get hurt, and I can't stop it. What happens when the best you can do just... isn't enough? :'''Ben:''' You get an Upgrade. :'''Rex:''' Weren't you listening? Alpha has the Omega. :'''Ben:''' I'm not talking about a nanite. :''[Transforms into Upgrade]'' :'''Rex:''' Hey! What are you-- ''[Upgrade merges with Rex]'' Whoa! Okay. That feels weird. ''[Upgrade covers Rex's body like a suit]'' Whoa! What supposed to happen now? ''[Upgrade's head appears on Rex's left shoulder]'' Aah! Ohh! Don't do that! You're freaking me out! :'''Upgrade:''' Build something! :'''Rex:''' ''[Builds a Smack Arm, which is modified by Upgrade]'' Sa-weet! So, what's the plan? :'''Upgrade:''' You build stuff, I make it better, fight, fight, fight, we win! :'''Rex:''' Works for me! ''[Rex builds a Boogie Pack and blasts off]'' WHOO-HOO! :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex:''' Ye-e-e-ah! :'''Upgrade:''' Nice shot, Rex! Run, run, run, run, run, run, run! :''[Alpha-Omega screams]'' :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :'''Rex and Ben:''' Aah! Oof! :''[Rex and Ben groaning]'' :'''Rex:''' We need a direct hit on the Alpha. :'''Ben:''' More insults? I've got a good one. :'''Rex:''' I've got an idea, but you have to trust me. When I fire, you've got to make your roly-poly thing. :'''Ben:''' You're not thinking of-- :'''Rex:''' Yup. :'''Ben:''' Isn't that dangerous? :'''Rex:''' Probably. :'''Ben:''' On three? :'''Rex:''' I've officially decided I like you, monster guy. :'''Ben:''' Same here, robot kid. One-- :'''Rex:''' Two-- Three! :''[Alpha-Omega roars]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' WOO-HOO! Yeah! Oh, yeah! He shoots! He scores! WHOO! And the crowd goes wild! :''[Rex imitates crowd cheering]'' :'''Rex:''' Whoa, there, little nanite brothers. Where do you think you're going? Alpha's not the only one who can tell you what to do. :'''Ben:''' Isn't your Omega Nanite going to be in there, too? :'''Caesar:''' I'll handle that. Where are you, little guy? Got it! Look! It worked! :'''Ben:''' And that, my friend, is how you save the world. :'''Caesar:''' Very clever, little brother. The density of this sphere is over thirty grams per centimeter cubed. It would be extremely difficult for Alpha to slip through the molecules of this, assuming it survived compaction. We need to get rid of it. :'''Rex:''' Caesar, wait! :'''Caesar:''' Rex, I wasn't fully able to repair the Void gun. I'm not sure how long my repairs will hold before it discharges. We only get one shot at this, and we have to do it fast. It's now or never, Rex. :'''Rex:''' How are you going to carry it? That thing must weigh ten tons! :'''Ben:''' I'm not going to carry it. :'''Upchuck:''' Let's do this again someday. :''[Upchuck munching]'' :''[Upchuck gulping]'' :'''Rex:''' Wow! That's just-- Wow! Six? :'''Bobo:''' He's gone. :'''Rex:''' ''[Weakly]'' Gone? :'''Bobo:''' To the little ninja's room. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's going to be fine, Rex. :'''Rex:''' He is?! All right! Yes! Oh, man, I knew it! I knew the whole time! :''[Rex laughs]'' :'''Rex:''' I mean... cool. I'm glad you're alive! :'''Six:''' Me too. :'''Rex:''' I was so scared, Six. I've never done anything so hard in all my life. I really thought the world was going to end, And then I totally kicked butt! :'''Six:''' I hear you had a little help. :'''Rex:''' Yeah, when his monster watch wasn't conked out. Ben was a cool kid. I wonder if I'll ever see him again. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' With infinite dimensions, the math doesn't work in your favor, Rex. :'''Bobo:''' Math-- The enemy of all things good. :'''Six:''' Although-- The cosmos works in mysterious ways. I think certain people are meant to meet, to fight side by side, to be friends. You may see one another sooner than you think. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Caesar?! How did you...? :'''Caesar:''' Okay. Before White Knight comes looking for me here, one last piece of unfinished business. :'''Rex:''' You're sure this is the Omega, right? I mean, you didn't grab the Alpha by mistake? :'''Caesar:''' 100% certain. Well, actually 99.998%. Nothing is 100%. <hr width80%> :'''Alpha:''' Organics who rely on machines for their power, I don't need. The machines themselves, now those I will have. ===Phantom of the Soap Opera=== :'''Rex Salazar:''' In a world he never chose and barely understands...

''[notices something behind Noah, acts all excited]'' Huh hu oh huh... oh El Amor de la Pasion del Amor! Why didn't you tell me EADLPDA was made here? :'''Noah Nixon:''' Um, probably because I didn't really believe you actually still watch a soap opera. :'''Rex Salazar:''' It's a telenovela. The actresses are smoking hot. And I don't have cable?...ah c'mon dude don't be a hater. ''[crosses arms]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Whatever. We're not going in there, they get like ten safety violations a week, no one's allowed in accept crew and studio staff. :'''Rex Salazar:''' You mean like pages?

That's why the studio puts us here in this place falling apart with all the accidentes. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Soap operas do not get the respect they deserve. :'''Isabella:''' You are very wise for your age. We don't even go backstage anymore. Too dangerous. :''[A silhouette of a rat is seen, it squeaks]'' :'''Beatriz:''' Is that our page? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uh... :''[Rex falls]'' :'''Isabella:''' He's mine, I saw him first! :''[Rex gets up and Isabella grabs him.]'' :'''Isabella:''' He is mine!!! :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hum? :'''Beatriz:''' Why don't we let him decide? :'''[Rex is being pulled back and forth]'' :'''Isabella:''' You would like that wouldn't you? :'''Beatriz:''' Yes I would!

Look out! :''[Actors run from set, Rex falls and smashes set]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Uhh, okay here's the deal—all the accidents you've been having they were caused by an EVO backstage. It used to be a mongoose and now it wants it's old job back.

This isn't Noah's fault. :''[Three actors gasps]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' ''[tears off his own shirt]'' Now you insult us by talking about yourself in the third person!

How's the jacket? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Umm. Well, the good news is you won't notice the stain anymore. Hey uh, by the way, your page training, did it include anything about the creepy backstage in studio B? :'''Noah Nixon:''' What? Why are you-- :'''Rex Salazar:''' No reason. I was just thinking, hypothetically, what would happen if I used your jacket to take a quick peek at the telenovela and ended up chasing some killer EVO mongoose? Hypothetically... Uh...Noah? :'''Noah Nixon:''' Sorry, just trying to figure out how to tell my parents I have no future. :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey I got this. I hit a little snag. Just keep your pants on. :'''Noah Nixon:''' ''[sitting the maintenance closet in his underwear]'' Heh! :'''Rex Salazar:''' Sorry, look, you don't have anything to worry about all I have to do is catch the EVO before they finish shooting and clear my... your name. :'''Noah Nixon:''' You know what? I'm not worried. I am completely resigned to the fact that I am losing my job. ''[Noah hangs up on Rex. Rex hears dial tone.]'' :'''Beatriz:''' ''[to Reynaldo]'' You are bleeding! :'''Reynaldo:''' What I am is an actor! We must shoot this scene. We cannot let them cancel us!

The one who ruined our set and lied about the EVO? I'd rather die! But then, my life will surely end if the show is canceled, so maybe... But no! It's impossible. But yet, what is more impossible than a dream. Nothing means more than my dream of saving this telenovela! :'''Rex Salazar:''' So, is that a-- :'''Reynaldo:''' Si. You will be our savior. And then I will have you fired. Accion! :''[Rex is dressed as Reynaldo. Takes Isabella in his arms and looks deep into her eyes, smiles..then turns away, sees Mongo and gasps.

It escapes, Rex corners it in dead end alley]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Oh you're not so tough when you can't hide, are you? ''[Mongo growls and grows huge]'' Oh so you can do that too. ''[Mongo roars, swipes at Rex with claws]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Hey, watch the jacket. I'm in enough trouble already. ''[Sets down scripts. Big fists. Mongo shrinks to escape. Rex falls to the ground. Mongo gets huge again behind him, tries to stomp on Rex, Rex rolls out of the way, Mongo shrinks and runs away, Rex climbs out of hole in ground breathing heavily and falls to ground.]'' :'''Guy in suit:''' ''[walks up]'' Are you kidding me? You still haven't delivered that script? ''[Rex runs off]'' :'''Guy in suit:''' Nixon!

''[runs off after Mongo]'' :''[Mongo throws him higher than the roof tops, Rex lands on big feet, Mongo tackles him. Rex lands in front of the post building, grabs remains of script out of Mongo's mouth. Mongo runs away, Rex gathers script remains and hands it to man at post door.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' I think this is for you. ''[runs after Mongo]'' :''[Phone rings]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Did you catch it? :'''Rex Salazar:''' Not yet, but I delivered a script for you, well, most of it. :'''Noah Nixon:''' I am so dead. :'''Lady with clipboard:''' ''[grabs Rex by the collar]'' Noah Nixon, you're right on time for your two p.m. tour. ''[Gives Rex clipboard and keys]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' ''[Driving tram with tourists]'' Uh, there's a building where some TV shows are made and there's another one and oh great there's the giant killer EVO. :''[Mongo chasing tram, Rex steps on gas. Tram goes sloooow. Mongo attacks tram. Rex lands, catches tourists with big hands, flies off on hoverboard]'' :'''Tourist:''' They had better special effects at my kids' school play. :''[Back on soap opera stage]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' I need a bigger reaction from you. Bigger! :''[Rex crashes through ceiling with Mongo hanging on the bottom of his hoverboard, heading towards Isabella.]'' :''[Isabella screams and covers head, Mongo crashes into set]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' Yes! That's it exactly! :''[Mongo growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' Be careful or you're gonna get the hand. ''[big fists with right hand. Mongo jumps at him, Rex grins and raises his left hand and cures Mongo. Mongo lays on ground cute and unconscious.]'' :'''Rex Salazar:''' That's not the hand I meant. :''[Actors, stunned, applaud]'' :''[Rex picks up Mongo.]'' :'''Reynaldo:''' You are a good page, Noah Nixon. :''[Mongo wakes up runs around on Rex and perches on his shoulder cutely.]'' :''[At supply closet with Noah, Rex walks in holding torn up jacket]'' :'''Noah Nixon:''' Oh, my jacket!

I don't know what you were thinking. ''[He sits down, sweat runs down his face, he closes his eyes, frowns, runs head away.

''[Rex runs off]'' Nixon! :''[Mongo looking down from rafters]'' ===Riddle of the Sphinx=== :'''Egyptian Guide:''' They uncovered the tunnel during routine sewer work. No one has set foot in here in over 3.500 years. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Providence doesn't work the location yet? :'''Egyptian Guide:''' ''[laughs]'' The antiquities comission does not like this Black Knight. They keep her busy with much paperwork. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The maze looks like it extends for miles. They do that to keep looters out? :'''Egyptian Guide:''' Or to keep something in. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Anything that was trapped in here couldn't be alive after all this time. :'''Egyptian Guide:''' I-I-I must go. :'''Dr. Holiday:''': Watch out! Bobby traps. :'''Egyptian Guide:''' That's not what I'm afraid of. :'''Bobo:''' It's only been a few days since we heard from Holiday. :'''Six:''' Something's wrong. :'''Bobo:''' Maybe she wanted a vacation from you clowns. "Something's wrong." :''[Bobo grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Providence! She in is trouble. :'''Six:''' Black Knight. And she has your better half. :'''Bobo:''' I'm predictin' an awkward situation. :'''Black Knight:''' Hello, Rex. If you came for your friend, I'll have to disappoint you. :'''Rex:''' That hairy creep? You can keep the traitor. Hey! My faithful guide, why don't you go away while we discuss business? :'''Bobo:''' It's me, you dopey tin can! Beat it! Or the boss lady's gonna get wise to our little switcheroo. :'''Rex:''' What's the campout for? :'''Black Knight:''' Routine scientific research. :'''Rex:''' Look, I know Holiday was here. What'd you do with her? :'''Black Knight:''' We arrived an hour ago. The locals say Holiday unleashed a monster down in the tunnels. The situation's under control. As soon as we've secured the tunnels, I'll send a team in to see if she's still alive. :'''Rex:''' I'm going with you. :'''Black Knight:''' You're going nowhere. You quit Providence. Unless you're recosindering? :'''Rex:''' Come on, guide. Holiday's in those tunnels. But Black Knight has a whole battalion of Providence goons guarding the entrance. :'''Six:''' I figured she'd be no help. That's why I found someone who knows a back way in. :'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The Kushari is healthy. For the stomach, good. :'''Rex:''' Enough about the Kushari! Where's the back entrance? :'''Egyptian Cooker:''' For so young, you in such a hurry. And old cook like me, I live by selling Kushari. Why not buy some? You buy, I give you more information. :'''Bobo:''' Ah, come on. Stop bein' so stingy. Buy some more. :'''Six:''' Where's the back entrance? :'''Egyptian Cooker:''' The sewer man-- They came to fix a leak. They found the tunnel to the entrance in my basement. :'''Bobo:''' Mmm! :'''Rex:''' Way cool! Maybe we'll see some mummies! :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex:''' Tell us where Holiday is! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Where do you think I am? :'''Six:''' Holiday! :'''Bobo:''' So, what's with the halloween get up, doc? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I found it in one of the chambers. Scares off the curious. I need to get to the bottom of all this before Black Knight. :'''Rex:''' The bottom of what? This is all ancient history? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You can this ancient history? :'''Rex:''' That looks like a nanite! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' That's because it is a nanite. :'''Six:''' How could they have knowledge back then? :'''Rex:''' Aliens! Like the ones that built the pyramids. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' None of this is more advanced that the 21st century. It's not aliens. I think the answers lie behind this door. But I can't figure out how to open it. :'''Rex:''' Open the door? No problem, Doc! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Stop! This whole place is booby-trapped. We open this wrong, they'll bring the tunnels down on us. :'''Rex:''' If there's a wrong way to open it, then that means there's a right way, too. Maybe the nanite picture is a clue. The whole thing is rigged like one. Told you-- No prob. Whoa, mumies. :'''Bobo:''' What are you lookin' at, beautiful? :'''Rex:''' Ha! Awesome! I'd love to see the look on Knight's face when she finds out we've beat her here. :'''Black Knight:''' Then let me step a little closer so you can see. :'''Six:''' How'd you find us? :'''Black Knight:''' Your mole helped me. :'''Bobo:''' Sorry, pal. :'''Black Knight:''' I should have known better. It's old junk from the dead. :''[Black Knight gasps]'' :'''Guranset:''' Gharun Set is not dead. :'''Rex:''' Put her down! :'''Black Knight:''' This isn't the time for violence. Our host has forgotten his manners. I presume he hasn't had guests in a long time. :'''Guranset:''' Almost an eternity. Gharun Set said has waited for his release. Awaken this cursed prison through the ages. :'''Black Knight:''' You speak English. That is interesting. Who taught your own language, Gharun Set? :'''Guranset:''' I was taught by the great father. :'''Black Knight:''' Father? What did he look me? :'''Guranset:''' He is dead-- As all of you soon shall be! :'''Black Knight:''' Now's the time for violence. :'''Guranset:''' Aah! :'''Black Knight:''' A nanite disrupter. Something I had your brother's lab whip up. It's quite lethal. :'''Rex:''' Looks like the lab forgot to tell him that. :'''Guranset:''' The boy controls the engines of life? It can't be. I laid low the armies of six kingdoms, swordsman. You think your tiny blades can stop me? :'''Rex:''' Try this one for size! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex! :'''Rex:''' Huh? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' His staff is a nanite disrupter. Get it away from him. :'''Rex:''' Easier said than done! :'''Guranset:''' Haah! :'''Rex:''' Oh, mummies! :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, yeah, you got your mummies. I hope you're happy! :'''Six:''' Rex! We can handle this! He's getting away! :'''Guranset:''' One last trap to keep me imprisoned, father. Nothing will keep me from my destiny! You serve his plan, child, and don't even know it. :'''Rex:''' Everybody talk weird in ancient Egypt, or it is just your special thing? Uh... are they supposed to do that? :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Guranset:''' Finally! I am free! :'''Six:''' These EVO's won't say dead. :'''Bobo:''' Their breath stinks, too! Ah, boy! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' You could thank me for saving your life. :'''Black Knight:''' Dr. Holiday, our lives are not safe yet. :'''Guranset:''' I am not alone. Together, we shall reconquer this land, and then.. the world! :'''Rex:''' Uh, I think the sun's baked him loopy. You can't reanimate that. It's a statue. :'''Guranset:''' This is not statue, child. It is a tomb. Arise, my mighty steed. Arise, my sphinx! :'''Rex:''' Providence, this is Rex. You may want to evacuate Cairo. :'''Guranset:''' This city is a blight upon my kingdom. All shall be as it once was. :'''Rex:''' I'm warning you, Gharun Set-- I don't want to have to get rough with you. Step off the pussycat. :'''Guranset:''' You presume to tell a pharaoph what to do. Be gone! :'''Six:''' Holiday. There's something I want to tell you before it's too late. :'''Bobo:''' Ugh. Hold still! Oh, no. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' All of them. Like the nanites keeping them alive... self-destructed? I'm sorry. What were you going to say? :'''Six:''' Holiday... I, uh... :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Hold that thought. :'''Bobo:''' What's it gonna be, the kooky chicks or we go help Rex save the world? :'''Six:''' Rex probably has this under control. Holiday needs my-- our help. :'''Bobo:''' Yeah, I can't resist a good catfight either. :'''Rex:''' Let me handle! This it's too dangerous! :'''Pilot:''' Black Knight, target sighted. It's riding a 50-foot-tall house cat. Please advise. :'''Black Knight:''' Do not harm. Contain and capture. We need that specimen. :''[Black Knight gasps]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Pilot disregard. Last order. Target no longer needed. Destroy. Repeat-- Destroy. :'''Pilot:''' You're with the lady. Lock and load. :'''Rex:''' Huh? Whoa! Get out of here! I don't know what he's up to, but it's not good. :'''Garunset:''' Behold the majesty of my dream. My kingdom! My paradise! :'''Rex:''' Whoa! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' What is this place? :'''Black Knight:''' It's the stuff of legends. The fabled hall of records which lay hidden beneath where the sphinx once was. :'''Bobo:''' "Was"? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' This can't be! That's the helix splitter. And that looks like a nano-flux inducer. Caesar built the first prototype of one last year. :'''Black Knight:''' I can't let you touch any of this. It's too unstable with age. When you blundered in the tomb, you set off a safeguard. Someone thought this room too dangerous for the world to know about. :'''Bobo:''' Agreed. Let's scram! :'''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't! Don't you know what this means to science? The knowledge in here is invaluable. It cannot be lost-- Again! :'''Black Knight:''' It won't be! Now that we know where it is, we can dig it out later. We will study it. I promise you that. :'''Six''': Holiday. Let it go. :'''Guranset''': As father promised-- I will rule forever. :'''Rex''': Forever is gonna be shorter than you think. :'''Guranset''': No! Nooooo! :'''Rex''': Aw, come on! I didn't hit you that hard! :''[Guranset gasps]'' :'''Rex''': What's happening to you? :''[Guranset gasps]'' :'''Guranset''': Aaaaaaaaah! :''[Guranset grunts]'' :'''Guranset''': Do not touch your pharaoh. :'''Rex''': You need help. Your nanites are dying of old age-- I think. It's like starting an old car. Uh, o-or a camel. Let me help you. I can fix your nanites, and then maybe-- :'''Guranset''': Lies! :'''Rex''': You're in a strange time, a strange place. We have science, machines. We can help you. Trust us. :'''Guranset''': Like you trust the woman you call Black Knight? I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. Father told me of you... Rex. :'''Rex:''' What? How do you know my-- :'''Guranset''': I would have helped the world. Ended the hunger, the wars. But now he will return. Avenge me. ''[Echoing]'' I see now this is a world of lies. You and I have no place in it. <hr width80/> :'''Black Knight:''' You wanted something? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' The hall of records-- You can't keep it a secret. It must be studied. That hall-- :'''Black Knight:''' What hall? :'''Rex:''' Why'd you do that?! Holiday said-- :'''Black Knight:''' Some secrets are best left buried under the sands, Rex. :''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' :'''Black Knight:''' Gentleman. Dr. Holiday. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, what'd you want to tell me back in the tomb? :'''Six:''' It can wait. :'''Rex:''' Don't wait too long. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' All those priceless artifacts. And we still don't know who created Gharun Set. ===Guy vs. Guy=== :'''Rex:''' This means war. <hr width80%> ===Double Vision=== : ''[The episode starts as a butterfly flies through plants in a flower shop. Suddenly, Rex is thrown into the shop window, making nearby civilians run away.

Prove it. : '''Rex:''' ''[Generating the Smack Hands.]'' No problemo. : ''[The EVO rushes towards Rex, unfortunately, Rex grabs it and slams it onto the ground. A random girl is driving up the road on a moped. However, she is stopped as the EVO blocks the path.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[Putting his hands up to assure the girl.]'' Nothing to worry about, I've got this handled. ''[Turns to EVO, whom is still on the floor.]'' Okay big guy, say adiós to those nasty nanites. : '''Rex:''' ''[Rex kneels down to cure the EVO, flowers spout out of the EVO]'' Aw, for me? Does this mean we're dating? : ''[Suddenly, the flowers shoot out some goo into Rex's face, making him slam onto the floor, a crowd forms around the battle.]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[Yelps while getting up and pulls his goggles off and wipes the goo off his face.]'' Oh, that's better. ''[He gives his goggles to the random female on the moped]'' Hey! Watch these for me. ''[Runs back into battle and generates the Punk Busters and kicks the blacked out EVO over a building.]'' Goal! Hey thanks for holding onto my...huh?... : ''[Rex turns around to see the girl missing from the crowd. Deforming his Punk Busters, he spots the girl riding away on her moped. She turns to look back at Rex, appearing to have on his goggles.]'' : '''Rex:''' Goggles! : ''[Rex puts one of his hands up to signal for her to wait, but the EVO returns and wraps its tentacle around Rex's neck.

You've got my...ungh...goggles... Aah! Ungh! Did you see that girl?! She stole my goggles! : '''Agent Six:''' Priorities, Rex. : '''Rex:''' They are my priority, Six. I can pound EVOs any day. Those goggles are-- Ah, great. Who invited her? : '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, gentlemen. We've got this covered. : '''Rex:''' We don't need any help. Whoa! Whoa! Ungh! : '''Black Knight:''' Obviously. Control collar-- Now. We'll take it from here. : '''Rex:''' Take it from whe-e-re?! I've already got this under contro-o-o-o-l! Whoa! Ugh! Let me try to cure it. : '''Black Knight:''' The new Providence protocol is to confine, constrain and control. If curing is an option, it will be considered-- At my discretion. : '''Rex:''' Control? I can cure it now and end this. : '''Black Knight:''' The offer still stands. If you want to come back to Providence, you can continue your mission. : '''Rex:''' I have my mission! : '''Black Knight:''' Curing every EVO on Earth isn't a mission, Rex. It's an impossibility. : '''Rex:''' Watch me. : '''Black Knight:''' Everybody back! Contain those seedlings! : '''Rex:''' You just made it worse! Now I've got to clean up your mess. Starting with this guy. See? Fearing works! : '''Black Knight:''' It was your actions that exacerbated this situation. I want full containment and control over those seedlings. Move out-- Now. : '''Agent Six:''' While you were arguing, Holiday found another sprout. Let's go deal with that before Providence does. : '''Rex:''' But-- My goggles! : '''Agent Six:''' Focus, Rex. We've got work to do. : '''Rex:''' Nice work! : '''Agent Six:''' Drop in the bucket. Look below. : '''Rex:''' Wow. And I thought I'd be able to knock off early today. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' On the contrary, Rex. By overlaying current worldwide wind patterns on top of international population centers, we're looking at total global infestation within thirty-eight hours. : '''Bobo:''' Ooh, that's a lot of roughage. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I need to get in the field and obtain some live samples. Bobo and I will meet you at the rendezvous point in the mobile command center. : '''Rex:''' Okay, doc. We're almost there. Hey! It's that girl! Wh-o-o-o-oa! : '''Agent Six:''' What's gotten into you, Rex? : '''Rex:''' My goggles-- I can't see without them! : '''Agent Six:''' Obviously, you can see without them. : '''Rex:''' Well, yeah, but I really need them a lot of the time. Don't you remember when I first got them? : '''Agent Six:''' Actually, no. : '''Rex:''' Oh. Sorry. My bad. It was early on, when I was just learning to control my powers. Whoa! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Aaaah! Aah! Aaaaah! Oof! : '''Agent Six:''' Horse manure. : '''Rex:''' This is exactly why I need my goggles! Hey! I thought this thing was just a sprout! : '''Agent Six:''' It's the nature of plants to grow. : '''Rex:''' Hm. Very Zen of you, Six. Well, it's the nature of me to kick EVO butt! Whoa! Oof! Yuck! This stuff really stinks! : '''Agent Six:''' All yours. : '''Rex:''' Ta-da! And for my next trick... Oh, and look who's late to the party. : '''Black Knight:''' ''[Entering]'' Alpha team, I want you to lay down suppressive fire and-- : ''[Realizing the EVOs not there]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Belay that. Sit Ops, I was told we had a Class-Three EVO situation here. Where is the EVO? : '''Rex:''' ''[Rex hands her flowers]'' Sorry. This is all that's left. Six, are we good here? I've got to run. : '''Agent Six:''' I'd put those in water. : '''Black Knight:''' Unh! : '''Rex:''' Slow down! I just want to-- Ungh! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh? What?! No way! Hey! You've got my-- Ugh! Whoa! ...Goggles. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got bigger problems than a girl on a scooter, Rex. First a flower shop, then gardening supplies. It's getting hungrier. Gentlemen, I suggest you get to the sewage-treatment plant as quickly as possible. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Why? : '''Agent Six:''' Fertilizer, Rex, as in if those sprouts chow down on that much raw nourishment, we're in some deep... : ''[Plant EVO bursts through a nearby wall]'' : '''Rex:''' ...Horse maneure. Hungry? Eat this! : '''Agent Six:''' Holiday, get to the sewage plant. We'll meet you there after we clean up. : '''Bobo Haha:''' Clean up? I'd rather make a mess! Shoulda brought my chainsaw. : '''Agent Six:''' Shoot the seedlings! : '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, this time I'm going to-- : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey! Wait! Aw, man! Back off! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Bobo:''' You went a little nuts there, buddy. I like it! But... Goggles? : '''Rex:''' That EVO interrupted before I could finish the story. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Agent Six:''' Here, kid. Try these on. : '''Rex:''' Um, so I can look like a total doofus? : '''Agent Six:''' You have no idea how unique these goggles are, Rex. A reclusive weaponsmith in Zurich crafted this single pair before he turned EVO. : '''Rex:''' Really? And then what happened to him? : '''Agent Six:''' I did. He won't be crafting any more goggles. : '''Rex:''' Cool! : '''Agent Six:''' These are one-of-a-kind, Rex-- Special, for you. : '''Bobo:''' What a bunch of chimp chips! Those goggles are-- Whoa! : '''Rex:''' Wow. That is a lot of rampaging EVO. : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. Lucky holiday-- She's right in the thick of it. : '''Rex:''' Lucky? : '''Bobo:''' She gets to try out all the special modifications I made to that sweet ride. : ''[Dr. Holiday grunts]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' ''[Plant EVO has Holiday trapped inside the Mobile Command Center]'' Okay. Let's see how you like 10,000 volts of-- : ''[Holiday presses a button, and music starts playing]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo's mix tape?! Who puts the stereo next to the weapons system?! One more time-- Big red button. Always go for the big red button. Unless you don't want to drain the batteries to zero. : ''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Bobo, your improvements could use some improvements. Rex, if you're not too busy, I'd appreciate a little assistance. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, ain't that your girlfriend? : '''Agent Six:''' She can take care of herself, right, Rex? : '''Rex:''' Right-- For now. : ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's more like it. Ungh! Fine! Let's see how you like this! I don't know what you just did, Rex, but thanks. Rex? : '''Black Knight:''' I admit our last encounter didn't end well, but I think we need to work together on this one. : '''Rex:''' You want to work together? We left Providence, remember? : '''Black Knight:''' Rex-- : '''Rex:''' What happened to "stay out of my way"? : '''Black Knight:''' Rex! : '''Rex:''' So now when you need somebody to take out your trash, you can just forget that I quit your crummy organization? : '''Black Knight:''' Yes, Rex, I can, because I don't let my emotions guide my choices. I only want what's best for Providence-- And the world. : '''Rex:''' Okay, cool. Just wanted to hear you say it. Aah! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, the EVO is too big to cure without getting to its core. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, I'm not doing much good out here! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' All those vines, the seedlings, everything-- They're just puppets to the plant. Stop those nanites in the core, and you cut the strings. : '''Rex:''' On it! Huh?! : '''Agent Six:''' Watch it, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! All I want are my goggles. All I've wanted all day are my goggles, and this EVOs been blocking me over and over! Hey, Bobo, you know how to shoot one of these? : '''Bobo:''' Eh, how hard could it be? : '''Rex:''' Load me into this thing and point it right at that EVO's sweet spot. And hurry. I got better stuff to do. : '''Bobo:''' You do know that's 30,000 gallons of raw sewage you're aimin' at? : '''Rex:''' Don't remind me. Oh... Yuck! Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck! : '''Agent Six:''' Elegant solution, Rex. : '''Bobo:''' You don't smell elegant. You stink worse than me. I'm a little jealous. : '''Black Knight:''' All right, Rex. Get to work. : '''Rex:''' Work? What do you mean? I just served that vegetable! : '''Black Knight:''' You cut the strings, but you still have to fix the puppets. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' She's right, Rex. : '''Black Knight:''' You want to cure the world? Start curing. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa, man, I'm beat! I don't think I can move another inch if you paid me. : ''[Goggle girl rides past him]'' : '''Rex:''' Gotta move! See ya! Hey! Stop for a second! Six, I'm really starting to think this girl's got some kind of EVO action going on-- Teleporter, speedster, something. : '''Goggle girl:''' Hey! : '''Rex:''' Huh? Six, she's not just a teleporter. She can make doubles of herself-- Multiple abilities! She's an EVO, like me! : '''Goggle girl:''' It's the skeevy guy who's been chasing me. He was chasing me, too. And me. What do you want? : '''Rex:''' You took my goggles! I want them back! : '''Goggle girl:''' Hey, Einstein, did you see our logo? That stands for "Goggle Girl", as in the delivery service. You haven't ever heard of us? : '''Rex:''' Um... No. : '''Goggle girl:''' "Nothing is cuter than a girl on a scooter." Kind of hard to miss. : ''[Goggle girl groans]'' : '''Goggle girl:''' It's the worst slogan ever. : '''Rex:''' But-- But my goggles! : '''Goggle girl:''' Part of our costume. The boss buys them in bulk, along with these cheesy wigs he makes us wear. It's kind of lame. : '''Rex:''' In bulk?! Those goggles?! But... They're one-of-a-kind! They're special! They're-- They're... I'll just go now. Nope. Nope. Definitely not. : '''Agent Six:''' I still don't know why those goggles were so important to you. : '''Rex:''' You gave to me, Six. It was the first present, the first nice thing that I remember getting since you found me. You said they were special, and that made me feel special. : '''Six:''' Yes, about those goggles... Apparently, according to Bobo, I may have misled you. There was dozens of them in the Providence service bay. : '''Rex:''' I knew the story was fake, but you told it because you cared about me. That's what made them special. : '''Agent Six:''' I see. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, champ. You got a package. : '''Goggle girl:''' Sign, please. : '''Agent Six:''' It's for you. From us. Just open it. : '''Rex:''' My goggles! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Better. We commissioned an enhanced version. : '''Rex:''' Cool! Infrared... Microscopic... Nanovision?! Thanks, you guys. You really are one-of-a-kind. : '''Bobo:''' Those are great, but these are me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I just need to hold on to them for a few more hours while I run a full diagnostic. : '''Rex:''' A few hours?! I just got them! Aw! : '''Bobo:''' Here-- Because I care. : '''Goggle girl:''' They actually look kinda cute. : '''Rex:''' Hey, doc! No rush! : '''Bobo:''' Ain't love grand? ===Black and White=== : '''Calan:''' Be advised, we've got activity. Major activity. Stop right there, or we'll shoot! Don't make me do it. : '''Rex:''' Okay, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like. : '''Calan:''' Calan to command, tell Black Knight-- We have apprehended the intruders. Repeat, we got'em. : '''Rex:''' No! Get out of my head! Stop it! Stop! Stop with the talking! A dream. Oh, thank you! For a second, I swore that I heard his voice. It was almost like he was in the-- Room. Huh?! : '''White Knight:''' I was wondering if I was gonna have to send the monkey in with a bucket of water. But I thought, "why should he have all the fun?" Five minutes-- Situation room. Consider this your wake-up call. : '''Rex:''' Aren't you supposed to be playing dead? You're lucky Black Knight doesn't know you're here. : '''White Knight:''' Black Knight thinks what I want her to think. With the installation of the new regime, I suspected that there was more going on at providence than just this new control protocol. I decided to test my hypothesis. I needed time to operate freely without prying eyes. So I went off the grid. : '''Rex:''' And from the smell of it, you haven't changed out of your suit since then. : ''[Bobo sniffs]'' : '''White Knight:''' I've been busy. I've been tracking their operations. They involve familiar locales and even more familiar machinery. : '''Rex:''' You still use a camera with film? Do they even make that stuff anymore? : '''White Knight:''' What they don't make are machines like these. This is the wreckage of Rylander's lab. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Are they doing what I think they're doing? : '''Rex:''' Do what? : '''White Knight:''' It appears that this new Providence is restarting the nanite program. : '''Rex:''' There is no way my brother would help restart something that nearly destroyed the world. There's got to be a good explanation. We should just ask him. : '''White Knight:''' We can't risk direct contact. We need to infiltrate Providence, download her computer banks, and assess how far along they are before we take any other actions. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over there. : '''Rex:''' Just saying there's more here than meets the eye. Whoa! : '''Six:''' Breaking into Providence? That's a big move, even for you. Black Knight is sure to have enhanced the security systems. We may be able to breach the perimeter defenses, but once inside, we'd be blind targets. : '''White Knight:''' You'd be right if we were playing on her board. : '''Six:''' Forgive me for doubting you. : '''Rex:''' Okay, is someone gonna tell me what these are for? This is so not going to work. : '''Six:''' Trust the plan. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Okay, so, maybe they worked. But how'd you get them to do it on cue? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' All a matter of timing. Assuming we get past the outer perimeter, securing the data is a completely different story. Providence encrypts all data. We need to disable multiple units before we can download anything off the mainframe. Doing that undetected is ''[sighs]'' insane. : '''Rex:''' Finally, a voice of reason. I'm calling my brother. Took the lady with three phds to realize what I've been saying all along is right. Hey, that costs money! I'm over my minutes! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' How did you... This is... : '''Six:''' Doable. : '''Rex:''' Do what? What is that? A secret passage. : '''White Knight:''' When they built the tower, I had them install, these-- Upper-management corridors. : '''Six:''' In the old days, they called passages like these the king's road. : '''White Knight:''' From here, we face some unknowns. Stick to the plan. Or we could die. : '''Rex:''' What?! Me?! What about you?! Part of the plan was to do this quietly. : '''Calan:''' Stop right there, or we'll shoot! : ''[Dr. Holiday gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Here we go. Ok, I know what you're thinking, but this is totally not what it looks like. : '''White Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. : ''[Calan laughs]'' : '''Calan:''' Welcome back, sir. We've been waiting for you. : '''Rex:''' Que, huh? : '''Calan:''' Sorry for the scare, Rex. We couldn't guarantee the Black Knight wasn't taper our communications. It was best to keep radio silence. In any case-- Say hello to your man on the inside. He've got a bomb! All units, fall back, fall back! Captain Calan, do you copy? Report. : '''White Knight:''' Ready for a repeate performance? : '''Calan:''' Ready when you are, sir. Good luck, everyone. They're headed for the... petting zoo. : '''Holiday:''' Here it is. Just like he said. : '''White Knight:''' This is the Hive. The central nervous system of the entire complex. An electric field protects the inner chambers. We'll need the circuit bandage. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' I've got an idea, but you'll have to go in partially naked. We've got eyes everywhere. : '''Six:''' Good. Knight and I will handle the encryption towers. You know what to do with this. : '''Rex:''' No sweat. I'm on it. Just have to make one quick detour. Bro? You in here? Oh, no. No, no, no! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, is that you? What brings you here? : ''[Six groans]'' : '''Six:''' Partially naked. Tower one clear. Proceed to next phase. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Got it. Redirecting the data flow now. : '''Calan:''' Anyone hear for the monkey? : '''Rex:''' Huh?! : '''Bobo:''' Offical pet desk. Keep your distance. : '''Rex:''' Is that Dr. Rylander? : '''Caesar:''' It is. Well, almost. After you brought back Van Kleiss, I couldn't help but to wonder if perhaps I might do the same for him. Unfortunately, Van Kleiss was already great in tune the nanites. As you can see, Dr. Rylander-- wasn't. : '''Rex:''' Ok, whatever. Listen, I'm here on a secret mission. : '''Caesar:''' Secret? : '''Rex:''' White Knight said-- : '''Caesar:''' White Knight is alive? : '''Rex:''' If you can call him that. Anyway, he says... you might wanna sit down for this part? That Black Knight is restarting the nanite program. Don't you think that's messed up? : '''Caesar:''' On the contrary. I'm in charge of it. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Commencing download in T-2 minutes. White Knight has infiltrated sector three. You're right. They are monitoring our movements. How did you know? : '''White Knight:''' It's what I would do. Now start evac protocols. : '''Black Knight:''' I've torn this facility apart looking for that? When I found it, I still couldn't get to it. Bio-feed security system-- Clever. You have to be nanite-free to open it. I guessed you weren't dead. I knew if I let enough info leak about what we're doing here, you've showed up, eventually. I'll take it. : '''White Knight:''' You can try. : '''Black Knight:''' What ever you say. You were the boss. : '''White Knight:''' That's not a providence toy. : '''Black Knight:''' A woman is entitled her secrets. Especially when those secrets keep me alive. : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''White Knight:''' Ohh! What I could've done with you if I hired you first. : '''Black Knight:''' Don't fool yourself, White. : '''White Knight:''' Ohh, ohh, ohh! : '''Black Knight:''' You were bandage at best. the Consortium knew that you weren't the leader for the future. Stand down, old man! : '''White Knight:''' I've got a few secrets of my own, kid. After all, this was my office. Consortium or not, it will be again. : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Be advised, they're on to us. Making for the rendezvous. : '''Six:''' I'll take my swords back now. Please. : '''Rex:''' What are you doing, helping Black Knight? She's obviously the more psycho of the two knights. : '''Caesar:''' I'm not helping the Black Knight do anything. I'm trying to fix things. The day everything changed. We never imagined what would happen when we released the nanites. : '''Rex:''' Release them?! You caused the nanite event?! : '''Caesar:''' It was the only way we were going to save the world. : '''Rex:''' You unleashed the worst man-made disaster the world has ever seen!! You've ruined countless lives!! How can you say that you saved anything?! : '''Caesar:''' You weren't there... not in any way that mattered! If we hadn't-- : '''Rex:''' Hold that thought. Here, doggy, doggy. : '''Six:''' Excessive? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Sweet, actually. Now you're overdoing it. : '''White Knight:''' ''[panting]'' Are we finished here? ''[screams]'' Careful, Black. Your council wouldn't be too pleased if you destroyed the very thing you're after. : '''Black Knight:''' If doesn't have to be like this, White! The Consortium may have lost faith in you, but you know my methods are right. Come back. Under my protection, who knows? There may even be a promotion in it for you. : '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters? : '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you? : '''White Knight:''' You would turn on your own masters? : '''Black Knight:''' For that kind of power, wouldn't you? : '''White Knight:''' I am going to stop the Consortium. If you or Providence gets in my way, this tape goes public. : '''Black Knight:''' Wait! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, stop! You're destroying my work! : '''Rex:''' Your work is done! And so are we! I got it. Time to blow this-- : '''Black Knight:''' Stand down, Rex. Face it, kiddo... today is not your day. : '''Rex:''' Actually, today's wednesday, and wednesday means fiesta night at the cafeteria. Getting in is going to be cake... very dangerous cake. Any bright ideas on how we're getting out? : '''Bobo:''' I got one word for you, kid-- Plumbing. : '''Rex:''' I got it. Time to blow this... : '''Bobo:''' Taco stand. : '''White Knight:''' Aah! : '''Bobo:''' Me and Van Gogh, unappreciated in our time. : '''Rex:''' All of that-- Was for that?! I got nanites, billions of 'em. : '''White Knight:''' Not like this one, Rex. This is a Meta Nanite. One of several. Hardwired into its design is a program for the original Dominion Code. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Dominion Code? I thought that was a myth. : '''White Knight:''' I can assure you, doctor, it is very real. Each one gives its host control over different building blocks of the universe- matter, antimatter, elemental, space, time, reality. With the complete code, you can control them. And through them, you control ''everything''. In sort, it's the God Code. : '''Rex:''' The Consortium want to be...gods? : '''White Knight:''' If it wasn't for the original Nanite Event scattering the Metas across the globe, they may have already succeeded. The situation has changed, people. Black Knight has been searching the globe for the other Meta-Nanites. She needs them all to complete the Master Program. As long as we're keeping her secret, she'll hold off. But sooner or later, she'll be coming for this with the full power of Providence and the Consortium at her back. So... if you want to move on, forget what I've told you. : '''Rex:''' You're not getting rid of us that easily, old man. My parents died for this. Black Knight wants war, war she gets. ===Deadzone=== : '''Noah:''' You said it was gonna be fun. You said there'd be hot girls, great bands. : '''Rex:''' It was an honest mistake. They called it the world's largest british rock festival. : '''Noah:''' Yeah, because it was a convention for english geologists! : '''Rex:''' Okay, yes, maybe we did just drive two days for some boring science conference because I didn't actually read past the first paragraph of the website. But we did get some cool free Schwag. Look! : '''Noah:''' I've seen it. It's a pile of rocks! : '''Rex:''' No, look! : '''Feakins:''' Hey! What are you doing? Leave me alone! : '''Rex:''' Pull over. : '''Noah:''' You know that guy? : '''Rex:''' Nope. But I know an opportunity to tweak the Black Knight when I see one. : '''Noah:''' No way. I haven't showered in two days. You real haven't showered in two days. This car is not stopping until we get home. Real mature. : '''Rex:''' Just give me five minutes. I'll grab him before they even notice. Think of it this way. At least something fun will come out of this trip. Shh. : '''Feakins:''' I don't understand what you're saying, guy. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Just take a stay back, Rex. You don't know what you're messing with here. : '''Rex:''' Yeah, well, you do know what you're messing with! This! Huh? : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' Hey! Who's messing with this? : '''Providence Agent:''' Anything you want to add to that smack talk? : ''[Rex chuckles nervously]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Let's go. : '''Rex:''' I don't know what you did to my powers, but I'd keep the hands off the jacket, if I were you. Uh, on second thought, take the jacket. Thinking about a new one anyway. : '''Providence Agent:''' We're gonna bring him with us? He's harmless as long as we've got Feakins. : '''Rex:''' What's a Feakin? : '''Noah:''' Come on, Rex. You gonna stand there all night getting hugs from your old Providence buddies? : '''Rex:''' No, don't! Or, uh, you're gonna make Agent Six over there even more mad than he already is. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Providence Agent:''' Move! : '''Feakins:''' Aah! What are you doing, guy?! : '''Noah:''' So, what's-- : '''Rex:''' Drive! Drive! : '''Noah:''' Aah! Who is he?! What's going on? : '''Rex:''' Who are you? What's going on? : '''Feakins:''' Do either of you have a milkshake? : '''Providence Agent:''' Pull over! : '''Noah:''' You want to get them to stop that? What happened? : '''Rex:''' Let me guess. You're Feakins. : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, and I am very queasy back here! If we don't get me a milkshake, it's not gonna be my fault if my lunch ends up all over this very nice leather seat! : '''Rex:''' Somehow he's fritzing out my powers. It's like there's a deadzone around him. : '''Noah:''' You talking about nanites or his personality? : '''Providence Agent:''' No more warnings. Pull over! : '''Noah:''' Whoa! : ''[Noah gasps]'' : '''Feakins:''' We're not gonna make it! : '''Noah:''' Yes, we are! This is a '77! They don't make'em like this anymore! WHOO-HOO! Aah! : ''[Noah gasps]'' : '''Noah:''' That was a '77! They don't make'em anymore! My granddad's gonna kill me! : '''Rex:''' Looks like he'll have to wait in line. : ''[Feakins gasps]'' : '''Feakins:''' How great is this?! You guys were at the convention, too? : '''Rex:''' Come on! If we get out of here now, they'll spend the next couple hours looking for the car before they figure out where it went. : '''Feakins:''' So, what's your favorite geological area? I'm a proterozoic man. Of course, the hadean has its merits, too. : '''Noah:''' You couldn't take five minutes to read the whole website? <hr width80%> : '''Noah:''' Thank you! I can't tell you how glad we are you're open. I just want to get cleaned up and get some sleep. : '''Feakins:''' Hold on! Pardon me, but what kind of room service does this establishment offer? What if I want a milkshake? : '''Rex:''' And that kind of brings you up to date, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Well, that explains why you suddenly dropped of my tracking grid. The good news is, the deadzone Feakins creates means the Black Knight can't use your nanites to track you either. : '''Rex:''' Now that Feakins isn't right next to me, it's not as bad. I can still feel them. It's just that they feel all fuzzy. I bet if I put some distance between us, my powers would bounce right back. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You cannot let him out of your sight, Rex. Don't you see why Black Knight wants him? He's the ultimate insurance against any EVO. : '''Rex:''' Not just any. Me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've got to hang on to him. I'm on my way to you now. : '''Rex:''' Hey, don't worry about me. I-I may not have my powers, but I've got Noah. We can handle things until you get here. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Just stay put and don't draw attention to yourself. : '''Feakins:''' I know this is your motel! But judging by your office, you and me got a different idea of what "clean" means! Can you believe that guy! : '''Rex:''' Yeah, the last part might be a problem, doc. : '''Feakins:''' Oh. Okay if you guys take this bed? : '''Noah:''' Providence we can deal with. It's him I'm worried about. : '''Black Knight:''' Speak. : '''Black Pawn:''' We lost them. : '''Black Knight:''' I want every asset we have in the state mobilized. Do you understand? Find them! : '''Noah:''' No way! You picked out this disguise. You wear it. : '''Feakins:''' I didn't know it was made of acrylic! You want me to have a relapse of my eczema? 'Cause it won't be pretty! I get all flaky! : '''Rex:''' Guys, the whole point of the disguises is to not attract attention. : '''Noah:''' Fine! Why do I always have to be the mature one? : '''Rex:''' Come on. : '''Feakins:''' We've only got a couple hours to get to our new rendezvous with Holiday. : '''Rex:''' Aren't you going to demand a milkshake? : '''Feakins:''' Thanks, guy. : '''Noah:''' What?! All you've done is moan about milkshakes. Because we were in a car. I don't get airsick. : '''Feakins:''' So, why would I need a milkshake? But if there's a decent sushi bar nearby-- : ''[Noah groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Wait. : ''[Feakins sneezes]'' : '''Feakins:''' What? I said I was allergic to acrylic! : '''Rex:''' Hang on! : '''Feakins:''' Whoa. You gotta stop this thing. : '''Noah:''' You gotta be kidding me! : '''Feakins:''' It's not my fault I got a delicate stomach! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! This isn't even really a car! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Those two agents on the plane are gonna call in others. We gotta go! : '''Noah:''' How are we gonna get anywhere without a car? : '''Rex:''' We've got a chance we can get on a train. : '''Noah:''' It's pitch dark. We're never gonna find the tracks before that train passes! : ''[Feakins laughs]'' : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, very funny. Come on, guy, quit joking around. : '''Noah:''' What are you talking about? : '''Feakins:''' Well, given the shale and quartz in this soil, the train tracks have to be down that way. I mean, that's just obvious stuff to rock lovers like us, am I right? I don't believe it! An entire train car filled with ice cream... And there's no blender! : '''Noah:''' So close, and yet no milkshake. : '''Rex:''' Well, I'm starved. Let's eat. We're all gonna need our strength. Cherry-Berry Chunky Nut? : '''Feakins:''' I'm allergic to ice cream. : '''Rex:''' How can you love milkshakes and be allergic to ice cream? : '''Noah:''' Do you really want to hear him answer that? : '''Rex:''' Look, I'm sorry. I know it's been a crazy day for you. : '''Feakins:''' I woke up yesterday thinking I was just a regular accountant who loved rocks... Only to discover that I'm actually this super-important guy who everyone's after because I got some kind of amazing power! : '''Rex:''' Lucky you. Move! Move! We're close. We're going to make it to Holiday. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, I can't stay here. We'll have to meet somewhere else. : '''Rex:''' I see the perfect place. : '''Black Knight:''' Let's end this game, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Black Knight? : '''Feakins:''' I don't believe it. The Black Knight works at Bob's Biscuit Barn! : '''Black Knight:''' Now that we've found you, there's nowhere to hide. It should not have taken the most advanced satellite system in the world this long to pinpoint them. The excuses can wait. Right now, I want this wrapped up. : '''Noah:''' How did Black Knight know where we were? : '''Rex:''' I don't know. : '''Noah:''' Even if you make it to the Holiday, is Black Knight just gonna find us? : '''Rex:''' I don't know! : '''Feakins:''' When are we gonna get a milkshake?! : '''Rex:''' I don't know! : '''Feakins:''' I'm in a car. It's moving. I'm getting queasy back here. : '''Rex:''' Then get out of the car! : '''Feakins:''' Aah! : '''Black Pawn:''' Be advised-- Primary target Feakins is to be recovered alive if possible. : '''Rex:''' You know how I said we don't get through this, with or without my powers? Well, it looks like I was wrong. They're after Feakins. That means "Noah" has a shot at making a break for it and getting to Holiday. Do you understand what I'm saying? : '''Black Pawn:''' Let the breakaway go. And stay on the primary target. : '''Rex:''' Huh. I guess they're not afraid of me with you standing here. Which is... Awesome! : '''Black Pawn:''' Pull up! Pull up! : '''Rex:''' Mwah! Man, have I missed you! : '''Noah:''' Guess I don't need this anymore. : '''Rex:''' I can't believe that plan actually worked. : '''Noah:''' Feakins still has to make it to Holiday. : '''Feakins:''' Oh, I'm not feeling so good. : '''Rex:''' Whoa! : '''Black Pawn:''' The primary target is unconventional. Ground units, reroute to intercept. We will cover. : '''Rex:''' We're going after Feakins! Come on! : '''Pilot:''' Ground units are down. Moving to pursue a primary target. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Stay on Rex. If we don't engage him, he'll tear us apart. : '''Noah:''' Whoa! : '''Rex:''' Sit tight. : '''Noah:''' Uh, where would I go? : '''Rex:''' Mind if I borrow this? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Noah:''' Rex! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Providence Agent screams]'' : '''Rex:''' Ow! Hey, watch it! I'm still a little rusty here! These guys are tough. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! Hang on to me! : '''Noah:''' Aah! Whoa! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Where's Feakins? : '''Rex:''' Oh, come on! This guy is killing me! : '''Noah:''' Maybe he'll still coming. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' We can't wait. Providence followed you here. What? : '''Rex:''' We got him! Let's go! : '''Noah:''' It's too late. : '''Black Knight:''' Where is my visual? : '''Black Pawn:''' They're just gone. : '''Rex:''' What just happened? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's a prototype stealth device built into the lab. That's why I had to get you in here. It was the only way to get you out of Black Knight's sight. : '''Noah:''' So, that's it? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' That's it. The good guys won. : '''Rex:''' Oh, hey, by the way, doc, you're a big geology buff, aren't you? So, did we hook you up with the perfect safe house or what? You'll never have to worry about driving without a milkshake again. : '''Feakins:''' Oh, it's great, guy. The only problem is the gas. : '''Rex:''' Well, I'm sure we can kick in a little gas money, too. : ''[Feakins farting]'' : '''Feakins:''' Yeah, that's not what I meant. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we can't stay. : '''Rex:''' You got that right! : '''Feakins:''' Wait. I just wanna say... Its not easy being thrown together with someone who can be a little, well... Difficult. : '''Rex:''' Hey... You're not so bad. : '''Feakins:''' Me?! I was talking about you! : ''[Black Knight sighs]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Since the search for Feakins is going nowhere, we have no choice but to become much more aggressive... With Rex. ===Assault on Abysus=== : '''Diane Farrah:''' Through research and hard work, Providence has turned the curse of the EVO into a blessing. One that will serve mankind. Science and compassion have created a new future for all EVOs. A future filled with happiness and hope. : '''Black Pawn:''' You? Seen some EVOs pass through here? <hr width80%> *Rex and Circe finally admit their true feelings for one another. Unfortunately, there was not enough episodes to explore their romance further. <hr width80%> : ''[Somewhere in [[w:Hong Kong|Hong Kong, China]]'']'' : '''Circe:''' Okay. They're gone. : '''Skywwd:''' For now. Get out of here, Circe. Run! : '''Circe:''' I'm not leaving you guys. : '''Skywwd:''' You can pass as human. Go-- Before Providence gets you too. : '''Black Pawn:''' The girl! She's with them! : '''Skwwyd:''' Run! : '''Rex:''' Hmm? What's up? : '''Circe:''' You're the only person I could turn to. : '''Rex:''' Circe? : '''Circe:''' I don't know. That's the hardest part. : '''Rex:''' You did what you had to do. : '''Circe:''' I left them there, Rex. Our friends. Providence has to be stopped. Someone needs to do something. : '''Rex:''' ''[puts his arms around Circe to comfort her]'' We are. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Am I disturbing you two? : '''Rex:''' No. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' White Knight wants to talk with you. : '''Rex:''' Ugh. What's he gonna yell at me for this time? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' No, I meant Circe. He wants to talk to her. : '''Circe:''' Providence has been hunting these down, too? : '''White Knight:''' You didn't tell her about them, Rex? : '''Rex:''' I thought the Master Control Nanites were supposed to be top secret. : '''White Knight:''' She has to know if she's going to lead the mission. : '''Rex:''' Her? That was supposed to be my mission. : '''White Knight:''' It's no one's mission. It's about getting the job done. : '''Circe:''' Why me? : '''White Knight:''' Intelligence indicates that Providence has targeted a Master Control Nanite in Abysus. In Van Kleiss' old castle, to be more precise. You're the only one with the knowledge to get us in there. : '''Rex:''' I've been there before. How hard could it be? Circe, you don't have to. : '''Circe:''' If it helps stop Black Knight in Providence, I'm in. : '''Rex:''' Okay, Doc. We made it. The new power suit gave me more range, just like you said. : ''[Circe whistles]'' : '''Circe:''' Thanks, Banak. We're trying to keep a low profile. Don't tell anyone, okay? : '''Rex:''' Good thing you knew the secret whistle or we might have been rooting around forever. : ''[Rex chuckles]'' : '''Rex:''' Get it? "Root"? Uh... This can't be easy coming back here. I owe you. : '''Circe:''' Forget it. We're even. I used you in the past, now you and your friends are using me. : '''Rex:''' Is there some sort of problem between you and me? : '''Circe:''' There's nothing between you and me. Just the mission. I don't have good memories of this place. Let's just leave it at that, okay? : '''Rex:''' Fine. I'm surprised we haven't run into-- Ugh! : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Skalamander:''' Traitor! Stop her! : '''Circe:''' Aah! : '''Rex:''' Can you chill?! There's no time for this. Who's leading you now that Van Kleiss is gone? I need to speak to your leader. Figures. Biowolf, we have a problem. And... I need your help. : '''Biowulf:''' I will listen. : '''Rex:''' Great, because-- : '''Biowulf:''' Only after you. earn the right-- Through combat. : ''[Biowulf growls]'' : ''[Rex spits]'' : '''Rex:''' At least Van Kleiss was civilized. Buckle up, dog boy. : '''Biowulf:''' You may speak. This nanite you want-- It's not here. None of us have seen it up in the castle or the blast source. : '''Rex:''' I didn't say up. It's down. White Knight thinks it's under the castle. Some other secure lab area. : '''Biowulf:''' The primary chamber? : '''Circe:''' It's under the castle? Van Kleiss always said it was forbidden for us to go there. : '''Rex:''' You think he remembered to tell Black Knight that? Let me take it out of here. : '''Biowulf:''' No! You're a traitor to your own kind. A lapdog to these humans. I've heard enough! : '''Rex:''' All of us will fall-- All EVOs-- If she gets it. Black Knight is worse than you know. If I don't get the nanite out of here, Providence will take it. : '''Biowulf:''' Providence! This is Abysus, the heart of the EVO world. Providence wouldn't dare. : '''Circe:''' The sentries have spotted something. : '''Rex:''' Yeah. I wonder who. : '''Providence Soldier:''' Black Knight, the assault forces are in place. : '''Black Knight:''' The field is yours. We've secured the borders. No chance White Knight and his team will get in the country to interfere. : '''Biowulf:''' The castle is surrounded. : '''Rex:''' Standard operating procedure for Providence is to secure the perimeter, then close for attack. Black Knight will have snuck forces around back. : '''Skalamander:''' How should we counter? : '''Rex:''' Easy. : '''Biowulf:''' You take your nanite. I'll decide how to deal with the invaders. : '''Black Pawn:''' Deploy the collars. Rise. Forward. Attack. : '''Rex:''' The nanite event blew away half the castle. This must have been deep enough to survive it. Huh? You hear that? : '''Circe:''' No. Hear what? : '''Rex:''' Uh... Nothing. This place would make a great rec room. Maybe a karaoke machine over there-- : '''Circe:''' Van Kleiss would send volunteers down here to try and get in. None of them ever came back. : '''Rex:''' Well... That's encouraging. : '''Circe:''' What is it? : '''Rex:''' They're... I-I think they're nanites. They're following our lights. They can't see in the dark. I have a plan. Lead them back. : '''Circe:''' ''[concerned]'' Rex? : '''Rex:''' When I say "roll," roll. : '''Circe:''' What?! : '''Rex:''' Roll! Circe, sing! : ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic blasts on the EVOs and beams at Rex.]'' : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' We always made a good team. : '''Circe:''' It won't hold them long. : '''Rex:''' You think this is why Van Kleiss always wanted me-- So I could get him in here? : '''Biowulf:''' Providence has breached the castle. We can't hold our position much longer. : '''Rex:''' Go. I'll get the Master-Control Nanite. ''[Notices how worried Circe is about him probably not returning]'' This isn't Hong Kong. I'll be okay. I'll meet up with you soon. : '''Biowulf:''' They've turned our own people against us. : '''Circe:''' Let me see what I can do. : ''[Circe uses her ultrasonic bursts on several collared EVOs]''. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : ''[Circe gasping]'' : '''Circe:''' So many. : '''Biowulf:''' You can't stop the ones they've collared. : '''Circe:''' I can go down trying. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Her sonics are disrupting the offensive. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' Hyah! Unh! : '''Biowulf:''' If we can't defeat them, we'll take down as many as we can fighting. : '''Circe:''' This isn't one battle. It's a war. And we can't let it end here before Rex has the Master-Control Nanite. : '''Biowulf:''' What, then? : '''Circe:''' Tactical retreat. : ''[Circe whistles]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh. Dad. : '''Providence Soldier:''' Outer rooms of the castle secured. : '''Black Pawn:''' I don't need you here, Black Knight. It's only a matter of time. We will take the castle piece by piece. : ''[Skalamander growling]'' : '''Black Pawn:''' You are ours now. Down. : ''[Skalamander grunting]'' : '''Skalamander:''' Rex is here. He will make you bow to us! : '''Black Knight:''' This is all a diversion. Find Rex before he gets the Master-Control Nanite. : '''Black Pawn:''' Yes, Ma'am. : '''Black Knight:''' Either you do it or I will. I'm on my way. : '''Rex:''' This place... Rylander had the same type of lab. : '''Soldier:''' Security system engaged. : '''Rex:''' No! : '''Soldier:''' Intruder. Provide authorized identity or be terminated. Identify. Identify. Identify. Identify. : '''Rex:''' Aah! I'm Rex! Rex Salazar! : '''Soldier:''' Salazar genetype-- Accepted. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' There you are, you little troublemaker. You're coming home with the good guys. Uhh. Weird. Uh... I don't suppose you're looking for the karaoke machine? Running into you-- What a coincidence. Come down here a lot? Whoa! Missed me. : '''Black Pawn:''' I have the nanite. Keep the boy busy while I get it to Black Knight. : '''Rex:''' No! : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' You two sure know how to make an entrance. : '''Circe:''' The others are getting hammered by Provindence. They're barely holding them off in the dungeon. : '''Rex:''' Gee! Van Kleiss has a dungeon. What a surprise. : '''Biowulf:''' This is no joke. They might die because I came down here to save you. : '''Rex:''' I won't let them get taken. I promise you that. But I need you to let me call the shots. : ''[Biowulf sighs]'' : '''Biowulf:''' Very well. : '''Rex:''' Circ, dungeon left or right? : '''Circe:''' Left. The dungeon's the other way. : '''Rex:''' I'm not looking for the dungeon. I'm looking for the scouts. : '''Black Pawn:''' Nothing. : '''Rex:''' Well, maybe a little something. : ''[Circe echoing roar]'' : '''Rex:''' Scouts. Classic Providence tactics-- So they don't get ambushed. Uhh. What is this place? : '''Biowulf:''' The old reservoir. It goes to the river. : '''Rex:''' Perfect. ''[deep voice]'' Scout to command. West wing, reservoir-- We've found a back way onto what must be the main EVO force. It's five times the size of what you're fighting. : '''Black Pawn:''' Roger, scout. All forces, withdraw from dungeon siege. Report to west wing, reservoir. Ambush maneuver lambda. : '''Rex:''' ''[normal voice]'' Get your troops. It's bath time. : '''Biowulf:''' Now you bow to Rex! : '''Rex:''' The Providence goons are contained, Biowulf. They shouldn't be any more trouble. And I got the Master-Control Nanite. Looks like mission accomplished. : '''Circe:''' Rex, I-- : ''[She and Rex cling to each other as the castle begins shaking.]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Rex, order your friends to surrender. You're all under Providence custody. I always knew it might be impossible to capture the Master-Control Nanite in the heart of the nanite infestation. So the solution was to remove it. : '''Circe:''' It's Hong Kong all over again. : '''Rex:''' No. We can fight. We'll double back and-- A-and then-- : '''Biowulf:''' Go! Get the nanite out of here! : '''Rex:''' No! I promised you! : '''Biowulf:''' You were right. That nanite is more important than anyone here. Including myself. I am the leader. I give the orders. Run! : ''[Rex panting]'' : '''Rex:''' They were counting on me. I don't want to leave them. : '''Circe:''' I did what I had to do. You do what you have to. I want you to know, all this was never about me just using you. : ''[Circe gasps]'' : ''[Finally admits her true romantic feelings for Rex in the form of a passionate kiss. She then pushes a shocked Rex off the ledge, so he could escape; and her getting collared and captured in his stead. She smiled with tears in her eyes, with the promise that she would be okay.]'' <hr width80%> :'''Rex:''' ''[burdened by Circe admitting her intense love for him and sacrifice]'' We all make sacrifices for the things we care about-- The people we love. But when the stakes are this high, who can we trust? What would that power do to anyone who had it? They attacked Abysus. What's stopping them from attacking us for these nanites? : '''White Knight:''' They will-- Sooner or later. That's why I want to turn the tables on them first. : '''Rex:''' You know how to do that so we survive in one piece? : '''White Knight:''' Not yet. ===Remote Control=== : '''Bobo:''' Providence goons are thick as fleas tonight, and I know fleas. : '''Rex:''' We're gonna be late if we have to keep sneaking around. : '''Bobo:''' After you. : '''Skwydd:''' Rex must have bailed on us-- Again. : '''Cricket:''' He would never do that, Skwydd. And besides, he dad to fly all the way to Honk Kong on his own. Give him some time. : '''Tuck:''' He's here! Everything okay, Rex? : ''[Skwydd hissing]'' : '''Skwydd:''' Cricket, Tuck, this way! : ''[Skwydd grunts]'' : '''Skwydd:''' Ow. Yeah, I think I'll stick to ink. : '''Cricket:''' We need to find Rex. : '''Skwydd:''' He was supposed to find us. : '''Tuck:''' How are we gonna-- : '''Quarry:''' Wrong. They'll be coming with me. Anybody got a problem with that? : ''[Quarry laughs]'' : ''[Quarry grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' Tuck? Cricket? Skwydd? : '''Bobo:''' Oh, yeah, they were here. This came out of Skwydd. Mm. : '''Rex:''' Ew! If those Providence goons hurt them, I'm gonna-- : '''Bobo:''' What do you say you use a little of that aggression and get some answers, champ? : '''Rex:''' What did you do with my friends? Quarry? : '''Cricket:''' If you think we're going to thank you for getting us out of there, Quarry. : ''[Quarry laughs]'' : '''Quarry:''' I think you're going to do exactly as I say. : ''[Activates the mind-control collar on her neck]'' : '''Cricket:''' Aah! : '''Bobo:''' Occupied Hong Kong-- What a dump! Where to, chief? : '''Rex:''' I have no idea. How did he get away from Van Kleiss? How is he even alive? : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' It's cool. We're not going to hurt you. What's Providence turned into? This whole city is living in fear. : '''Bobo:''' Well, we ain't gonna find my answers in this alley. I got a guide book. Ooh! A coupon for all-you-can-eat dim sum. What? A chimp's gotta eat. : '''Rex:''' Okay, let's go. But keep moving. Maybe we'll turn up a clue. : '''Bobo:''' Aw, this just breaks my heart. All that grub and no one to eat it. : '''Monster EVO:''' Can you help a fellow EVO who's down on his luck? : '''Rex:''' I can do better than that. Let me take care of this for you. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Ow! : '''Bobo:''' I wanna order some chow to go. Give me some of those chicken feet, and give me the beaks, too. : '''Rex:''' I thought that collar was supposed to make you mellow! What? Now you know Kung Fu? I don't have time for this. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, buddy. It looked like you could use some-- Hey, where'd the charity case go? : '''Rex:''' He had to leave suddenly. All yours. I need some time to think. : '''Bobo:''' More for me! Go off and think your brains out, pal. You know where to find me. Ah, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship, my beak-dealing chum. And speaking of chum-- : ''[Bobo sniffs]'' : '''Bobo:''' Do I detect the delightful aroma of fish heads? : '''Gamer boy:''' Hey, kid! You like video games? Want a cool job? : '''Rex:''' I already have a cool job. : '''Gamer boy:''' This is the coolest job you'll ever have. Mr. Quarry, pays top dollar for good players and I can set you up. : '''Rex:''' Quarry? Tell me more. : '''Huckster:''' ''[Cockney accent]'' Okay, kids. Looks like we're all here, right? Let me show you around. : '''Quarry:''' What do you matter, the big fish? Time to reel him in. : '''Huckster:''' This is all state-of-the-art stuff-- Exciting, new tech. You get to play as an EVO and go on a Crown Street. How cool is that? : '''Rex:''' Hey! That looks like the EVO that jumped me. : '''Huckster:''' We model our characters from actual EVOs. This is as close to reality as you can get. : '''Rex:''' Hey! You guys! Oh, am I glad to see you! I-- Take that back. You've been collared! Let me help you! : ''[Skwydd hissing]'' : '''Rex:''' Cricket, it's me-- Rex! You used to have a crush on me! : '''Cricket:''' Ugh! : ''[Cricket sighs]'' : '''Cricket:''' Rex, I'm so sorry. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't control it. : '''Rex:''' I'm okay, Cricket. You've been working on that jab, though, haven't you? : '''Cricket:''' They're getting away. : '''Rex:''' Let them go. They'll lead us straight to Quarry. : '''Cricket:''' "Used to have a crush"? : '''Rex:''' Infrared. Nice move. Providence Convoy. Great. : '''Cricket:''' Whoa! Aah! Ugh! Aah! : '''Rex:''' Come on, Cricket. We do this all the time. Uh, hair. Please. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, give me some more of these deep-fried shrimp heads and a bunch of those fresh spring rolls. Hey, give me the stale spring rolls while you're at it. : '''Female vendor:''' No more food! You have to go! : '''Cricket:''' I recognize this place. It's where Quarry took us after we were collared. It's probably a setup. : '''Rex:''' It's definitely a setup. You ready to go in? : '''Cricket:''' You know how collared EVOs follow kind of like a robot. with these collars, it's worse. It's like you're a remote-controlled robot. : '''Rex:''' That is a nasty hack. : '''Cricket:''' It's bad enough working for Quarry. When you have free will but this-- : '''Rex:''' Skwydd! Tuck! I don't wanna hurt you. : '''Quarry:''' Glad to hear that, Rex. Your friends are very valuable to me as are you. : '''Rex:''' Like the new look- strapping. : '''Quarry:''' Let's just say I had to find a way to "keep it together" after my visit to Abyus. Just one more thing you owe me for and you know how much I like a balanced book. : '''Cricket:''' Rex! No! : '''Quarry:''' You'll be the crown jewel of my EVO army, Rex. I may just make you my own personal slave. That collar suits you, Rex. Wish I'd had one for you back in the old days-- Would've saved me a lot of trouble. : '''Cricket:''' Rex! : '''Quarry:''' Oh, right. Cricket. Rex, be a good little helper and hold her down, would you? : ''[Cricket gasps]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Quarry:''' Rex? Rex! I command you to stop! : '''Rex:''' I quit listening to you a long time ago. : '''Skwydd:''' Rex, I'm sorry. : '''Rex:''' Never mind, Skwydd. Help me with Tuck. Aah! Oh, man! These nanites are smarter than usual. : '''Cricket:''' Hurry, Rex! : '''Rex:''' Whew! Don't think I'll be doing that again soon. : '''Tuck:''' Thanks, man. Those all kinds of weird. : '''Quarry:''' I've decided that you brats are not that valuable to me. Kill them all! : '''Rex:''' We'll see. : '''Tuck:''' Spinning donkey? Since when do street EVOs know Kung Fu? : '''Rex:''' I know, right? How are you doing this? How are you controlling these guys. : '''Quarry:''' I'm not would take an army of operators to control this many EVOs. I merely provide the funding and equipment. The streets provide the manpower-- Or should I say-- : ''[Quarry chuckles]'' : '''Quarry:''' Bratpower? And I paid top dollar for good players. At least by their sad standards. : '''Rex:''' The arcade. All those kids! : '''Quarry:''' Those brats were born to play games, which is what they think they're doing. And I thank your people for the tech. That brother of yours is quite the wiz, kid. : '''Rex:''' Caesar would never! : '''Cricket:''' Forget about Caesar, Rex. You know what you've got to do. : '''Rex:''' These guys will shred you if I leave! : '''Tuck:''' We got this, Rex. Go! : '''Quarry:''' Once I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pop your head like a grape! : '''Bobo:''' Oh, I am one stuffed monkey. Ooh, this might just be the year I floss. Hey! I know that noise. That's Rex. I'm coming, champ! : ''[Bobo groans]'' : '''Bobo:''' Ooh, I better take it easy, or I'm gonna deliver a street pizza. : ''[Bobo groans]'' : '''Female vendor:''' Next time, you're on the menu! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Unh! : '''Quarry:''' You were a good earner once, Rex. But lately, you've been costing me too much. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! : '''Quarry:''' Now... you... pay! : '''Cricket:''' No tongues! : ''[Rex groaning]'' : '''Rex:''' Hyah! : ''[Quarry laughs evilly]'' : '''Quarry:''' Consider the fact that you made me like this while I'm crushing you. : ''[Quarry grunting]'' : '''Quarry:''' What? : ''[Quarry straining]'' : '''Quarry:''' No! Unh! No! AAAAAH! : '''Rex:''' Bad move, Quarry. Now, where's the "off" switch? Bingo. : ''[Rex sighs]'' : '''Rex:''' Okay. : '''Tuck:''' Uh, what just happened? : '''Cricket:''' Rex happened. : '''Gamer boy:''' No way. We were actually fighting real people? I'm outta here. : '''Tuck:''' Nice move, Rex. I guess Quarry eats it again. : '''Cricket:''' Where is Quarry, Rex? : '''Rex:''' He bit off more than he could chew. Speaking of which, I'm starved. Who wants to grab a bite? : '''Bobo:''' Ohh. Hey, Rex, when are we gonna see some action? : '''Rex:''' I, uh, kind of took the initiative while you were chilling out. Wanna get some dim sum? : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Bobo:''' Uh, no, thanks. I've had all I can eat. : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Rex:''' Can we use your coupon? : ''[Bobo gags]'' : '''Skwydd:''' You seriously thought you were gonna blow us off? : '''Tuck:''' Not "we." "You." : '''Rex:''' I came as soon as I could-- Honest. : '''Cricket:''' You mean you didn't make a detour to Tokyo to buy anime? : '''Rex:''' Okay, almost as soon. But it all turned out fine. And the most important thing is, we put a stop to that tech before there was enough of it to start a real army. : '''Tuck:''' You can say that again. : '''Skwydd:''' ''[Chuckling]'' Yeah. : '''Rex:''' Now, hurry up and eat this before my chimp finds us. Mmm! : '''Build worker:''' Okay, guys. That's the last of them. Provindence needs these machines on the next cargo ship. Let's move! ===A Brief History of Time=== : '''Van Kleiss:''' 4.000 years from my destination, and I've run out of of time. I've scarcely completed the vessel which shall deliver me to my own era. Gharun-Set, activate the traps-- Quickly! My greatest creation-- So useful to me, but too dangerous to roam free. If only I had time to destroy him, as I should. But I have a more pressing death I must prevent. My own. AAAAAAAAAAAH! : '''Rex:''' Kind of defeating the whole stealth element of a stealth suit, Bobo. : '''Bobo:''' Hey, now was I supposed to know that ghanoush went bad? : '''Rex:''' Maybe because you found it in a garbage can. : '''Bobo:''' On top of a garbage can. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to Rex. Are you at the site? : '''Rex:''' There is not site, remember? Black Knight blew the pace to kingdom come. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Yet it's still guarded. And thanks to the data you stole from Providence, we know why. : '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss back in time? I still find it hard to believe. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You were sent six months into the future, Rex. It stands to reason that the reverse is possible. : '''Rex:''' Well, if you expect to find him here, maybe we should check the mummy museum. We're sensing nanites-- Definitely V.K.'s. They've been dead a long time. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Over 4,000 years. I'm also detecting tachyons-- Quantum particles that travel in time. I think it's clear what he was making. : '''Bobo:''' A latrine? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' A time machine. : '''Rex:''' No way he pulled it off! If mister ego made it back to here and now, we'd know about it. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Some of these nanites are considerably younger. That means he was there in two different time periods. : '''Rex:''' Time travel gives me a headache. Just tell me-- Where is he now? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The more accurate question is, when is he? : '''Van Kleiss:''' AAAAAAH! : ''[Van Kleiss gasping]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! The ordeal is... draining. But now, back in my own time, I can replenish my nanite reserves and-- : '''Gladiator #1:''' Quis es tu? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I recognize the language, of course-- Classical latin. Qui-- Q-Qui annus est? : '''Gladiator #1:''' What year is it? You dare question a captain of the imperial guard? Aegyptus is a roman Providence! Answer! Who are you? : '''Gladiator #2:''' Don't bother-- He's clearly sun-mad. : '''Van Kleiss:''' The dialect, the dress-- This is the second century A.D. A mere 2,000 years has passed. I'm only halfway home! : '''Gladiator #1:''' Another escaped slave. Finish him and be done with it. : ''[Gladiator #2 grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' It was all the fight I could muster. I had no way to replace the nanites I'd spent in the journey, and my gauntlet had yet to recharge those that remained. : '''Gladiator #2:''' This one shows spirit. He'll bring a good price in the arena. : '''Van Kleiss:''' OOMPH! : ''[Van Kleiss groans]'' : '''Gladiator #2:''' Save your strength. : '''Gladiator #3:''' Where you're going, you'll need it. : ''[Van Kleiss slurps]'' : ''[Van Kleiss gulps]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' I intend to. Of the mysterious force, there is no sign. Yet I sense it is close-- Pursuing me even across the centuries. I am convinced it is a manifestation of time itself. My presence is a violation of physics-- An imbalance which the time stream seeks to correct... By wiping me from existence. But of this, I am certain-- If I do not return to my own time, it will surely destroy me. : '''Gladiator #1:''' You are fortunate, slave. To die in the arena is a great honor. : '''Van Kleiss:''' An honor I look forward to bestowing. : ''[Gladiator #1 laughs]'' : '''Gladiator #1:''' You see? Spirit! : ''[Van Kleiss groans]'' : '''Gladiator #3:''' Put on a good show, little man, and I promise to make your end a painless one. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Indeed? : ''[Gladiator #3 grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' I, on the other hand, make no such promise. : ''[Gladiator #3 grunting]'' : ''[Van Kleiss grunting]'' : '''Gladiator #3:''' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! : ''[Gladiator #3 groans]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' One against so many? Hardly seems fair. For them. : '''Gladiator #4:''' ARRRGHHHH! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ordinarily, I'd say "take me to your leader," but I believe he's already here. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Great warrior... Never have I seen such a battle. I am... : '''Van Kleiss:''' Septimius Severus, 21st emperor of Rome, founder of the severan dynasty. And, as I recall, you poisoned your own commanding officer to get his position... And wear only boots to conceal a prodigious clubfoot. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Are you a man... Or a God? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I find both labels rather limiting. Now, then, you are going to give me whatever I require, starting with a quiet place to work. I, in return, shall ensure the growth and security of your reign as emperor. You may call me Van Kleiss. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Whatever your desire, great Vanklios. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Actually, it's... Got a rather nice ring. : '''Rex:''' What's with this guy? Gets a portrait done in every time period? : '''Bobo:''' Mm. ''[muffled]'' Truly a nutjob for the ages. Mm. Speaking of nuts... Want some? : '''Rex:''' You've been dumpster-diving again? : '''Bobo:''' I prefer "foraging." : '''Rex:''' Yeah. Nice sleuthing there, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Nanites decay at a measurable half-life. I set our sat-net to do a global scan for the same frequency-- Ergo, Rome. : '''Rex:''' Great. You scan for the next stop, we'll grab a pizza. : '''Bobo:''' Pass. I'm experiencing inexpicable gastric distress. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it would take months to scan the entire spectrum. You need to find the next decay frequency. : '''Rex:''' Kind of like nanite connect-the-dots! Can I do it with someone else? : '''Bobo:''' Hey, quiet, you! Rah! : '''Rex:''' This goose chase just got a little wilder. My brother's here. : '''Caesar:''' Caesar to Black. We've detected paleo-nanites. Tachyon readings negative. We're moving to the next hot stop. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons-- They want Van Kleiss' time machine. Follow them. : '''Rex:''' Come on. : '''Bobo:''' Can you give me a teeny sec? I gotta find the little gladiators' room. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Advances in the last two millenia have allowed me to complete my lab in weeks instead of months. Restrict the flow! Do you want to overload the power cells? Meanwhile, my own nanite supply continues to dwindle. : ''[Septimius Severus panting]'' : '''Septimius Severus:''' Great Vanklios, protect me! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I've divulged metallurgy and tactics beyond your day. No man may threaten your rule. : '''Septimius Severus:''' This is no man-- But an apparition! : ''[Septimius Severus grunts]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' What apparition? Speak, parasite! : '''Septimius Severus:''' A spirit of doom! Numerous sightings-- The insulare, the rostra, the forum. Listen! It comes! It comes! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Fool. It only wants me. : '''Septimius Severus:''' Ugh! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I release you. Go start a few legends. : '''Septimius Severus:''' NOOOOOOOOOOOO! : ''[Septimius Severus gasps]'' : '''Septimius Severus:''' Be gone! I beg of you! Aah! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, those stress lines-- It's the same pattern we saw in Egypt. : '''Black Knight:''' Report. : '''Caesar:''' These aqueducts are truly marvels of roman engineering. : '''Black Knight:''' Have you picked up the next decay frequency? : '''Caesar:''' Oh-- That. Yes. Uplinking to our global net. Odd. These tachyons seems unrelated to-- : '''Black Knight:''' We have the next target. Scandinavia. Move out. White Knight may have people on the trail. I expect you to do whatever it takes to procure the objective. : '''Rex:''' Shh! : '''Caesar:''' I've initiated the same steps as in Egypt! Come along. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, we need that decay frequency. : '''Rex:''' Just one small problem, doc. This place... is toast. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex? Bobo? Respond! : '''Rex:''' We're okay, doc. Not a mark on us. : '''Bobo:''' Same can't be said for my stealth suit. Whoa! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : ''[Rex and Bobo gasps]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' So many lives... It's become a blur. I don't know who I am anymore. Only that I must sail onward, ever onwoard down the river of time. Never resting, always moving. Further draining my nanite reserves beyond my ability to replenish. And each re-emergence, I am pursued by the nameless force. I now know it's personal. I am a virus-- An infection of space-time. Call it what you like. This is time's antibody. Whether I can borne home or drowned in its currents, this is my final journey. : '''Rex:''' Hurry! I'm not sure if we here followed. : '''Bobo:''' I'm sure. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Don't shoot! It's me. : '''Rex:''' Holiday? Shouldn't you be at the plant, connecting the dots? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' No more dots to connect. The trail ends here. And... I'm reading a humanoid form inside. : '''Rex:''' I'm confused. Is it a time machine or isn't it? : '''Caesar:''' It's not a time machine. Are those really necessary? : '''Rex:''' No way you're getting this time machine, bro! : '''Caesar:''' I don't want it. And it's not a time machine. : '''Bobo:''' Well, then, what is it? A meat locker for cold cuts? : '''Caesar:''' Surprisingly close. We use this technique to transfer unstable nanites. It puts them into a state of dormancy. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Of course. It's a hibernation chamber. : '''Caesar:''' Only his nanites were dormant. There would still be neuron flow. : '''Rex:''' Mind telling me what that means, exactly? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' He was... Aware. The whole time, for hundreds of years. : '''Caesar:''' He would have felt every minute pass. : '''Rex:''' No way! He's totally a mummy! : '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah! : '''Van Kleiss:''' Run! It's coming! It's coming?! : '''Rex and Bobo:''' Wah! : '''Rex:''' Easy, easy, Van Kleiss. You're back-- Back in your own time. : '''Van Kleiss:''' No! No, it'll find me! It always does! You must protect me. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyon readings off the chart! Rex, you can't affect that thing. I don't know what can. : '''Caesar:''' It's a field of pure tachyons. I've got to get a sample. : '''Rex:''' Oh, no, you don't! : '''Van Kleiss:''' I'm back! Back in my own time! You shall not have me?! OHHHH! : '''Bobo:''' Settle down, Van Winkle. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex shudders]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh, no. It couldn't be. I need some way to contain it! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Tachyons can't be contained! : '''Caesar:''' Yes, they can. Rex! : ''[Caesar grunts]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, it's too risky! : '''Rex:''' But I know what this is. Correction-- I know who this is. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! : ''[Rex groaning]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's... Breach. : '''Rex:''' Breach. Breach! It's me-- Rex. : '''Breach:''' Rex? Are you real... Or a dream? : ''[Rex laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' Yeah, yeah, I'm-- I'm real. : '''Breach:''' I was everywhere-- Everywhen. But I was nothing-- An emptiness, needing to be filled. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The amp pack. Van Kleiss controlled it. When his nanites were active, Breach was drawn into his timeframe. : ''[Van Kleiss grunts]'' : '''Caesar:''' The final joining would have destroyed them both. : '''Breach:''' Guess I should say thanks. : '''Rex:''' Hey, what are friends for? Um, we are still friends... Right? : '''Caesar:''' You did well, little bro. : '''Rex:''' And you have your time machine that... isn't a time machine. Everybody goes home happy. : '''Caesar:''' That? A curiosity-- True. But it was never our goal. : ''[Van Kleiss shivering]'' : ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' : '''Rex:''' Van Kleiss?! All this for him? what, they're gonna put him in jail? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' It's Providence, Rex. That's their jurisdiction. : '''Caesar:''' No need to worry, little brother. He's going to be well supervised. : '''Rex:''' Caesar, what is going on!? : '''Caesar:''' Justice. : '''Bobo:''' Two words-- Crème Brûlée. Ooh. Right after I make a french connection. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Welcome back, Van Kleiss. You look terrible. Ordinarily, I'd say get some rest, but you've had enough of that, I suppose. : ''[Van Kleiss chuckles]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Pull it together. We have work to do. Do you know who I am? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I know who you are. It's been a long time. A very, very long time. ===Mind Games=== : '''Rex''': Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure of that. : '''Six''': I told you not to get involved, Rex. You're not at full strength. : '''Rex''': What was I supposed to do-- Just leave it? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Six has a point, Rex. You're pushed to the edge lately. You can't see everyone. : '''Rex''': Not listening! Don't worry, dude. I'll have you out of here before you can say-- Circe?! : '''Circe''': Hey, Rex. Rex! Aaaah! : ''[Circe sighs]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex! Rex, do you read? What's going on? Your bios are low. : '''Rex''': Leave her alone! You okay? : '''Circe''': I think so. We have to go. : '''Rex''': Think that's your cue. Hang on. I think I got it. Ow! : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': Hate this things. : '''Circe''': Try wearing one. : '''Rex''': I have. So, what happened? I thought Providence had you at Abysus. : '''Circe''': I got away. : '''Rex''': What about the Pack? : '''Circe''': The Pack? I-- Don't know. Things are bad out there, Rex. I've been on the run for weeks. Providence has been stepping up their capture orders. I think something big is going down. : '''Rex''': Tell me about it. Listen, I know we're gonna want to say no, but with everything that's going on... : '''Circe''': I should stay at the plant. It's safer, right? : '''Rex''': Wow, that was-- Easy. I had a whole speech and everything. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Well, everything checks out. You're the picture of health. I wish you'd let me do some more thorough scans, through. : '''Six''': How was it you said you got away? : '''Circe''': It's a long story. You guys have bigger things to worry about than me... like the Meta-Nanites. Did you get the one from Abysus? Have you found anymore? : '''Rex''': Ugh, who cares? Let's go do something fun. You want to put Bobo' hand in shaving cream? : ''[Circe yawns]'' : '''Circe''': Actually, Rex, I'm kind of tired. I thing I might just crash if that's cool. : '''Rex''': Oh... yeah. Stupid of me. You, uh, get some sleep. Hey, doc. What are you doing? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Rex. I was just... working. What are you doing up? : '''Rex''': Ah, it's... stupid. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Yeah, probably. But... go ahead. : '''Rex''': I'm... excited. Since I got breached, everything's been so crazy. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Since you got breached? Right. : '''Rex''': But with Circe back, I'm starting to think maybe things will turn out okay. : '''White Knight''': I need everyone in the situation room in five minutes. : '''Rex''': So much for that. : ''[Dr. Holiday yawns]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': What'd I miss? : '''Rex''': Wow, Doc. You sure got comfy quick. : '''White Knight''': Listen up, people. We need to retrieve a valuable asset before it falls into enemy hands. : '''Six''': What's the objective? : '''White Knight''': This man... Dr. Peter Meechum. : '''Rex''': That guy? I remember him. Van crazy kiddnaped his daughter. : '''White Knight''': Meechum spent the last year at a safehouse facility... Codename: Pandora's Box... location know only to me. : '''Rex''': Why all the cloak and dagger? : '''White Knight''': Because Meechum was one of the original scientists on the Nanite Project. He was given a panic button in case of emergency. Thirty minutes ago-- He activated it. : '''Six''': Providence? : '''White Knight''': We have to assume they're trying to assemble the original members of the Nanite Project. What Meechum knows is too valuable to fall into the wrong hands, so go get him. : '''Six''': Maybe Circe should stay here. : '''Rex''': What? Why? : '''Six''': She's not on the team yet-- Not officialy. : '''White Knight''': Take her. She'll be useful in the field. : '''Rex''': Ahem. You guys forget you key? Did you check under the mat? : '''Six''': Rex, focus on the mission. Get to Meechum! : '''Rex''': Relax, Six. I could take these guys in my sleep, especially with help from... Huh? Circe? Uh... Time-out? : '''Six''': Peter Meechum, you need to come with us. : ''[Dr. Meechum scoffs]'' : '''Dr. Meechum''': Took you long enough. : '''Rex''': Time in. : '''White Knight''': Still no sign of Circe, Rex. We'll keep looking, but for right now, Meechum is our top priority. : '''Dr. Holiday''': We'll find her, Rex. Don't worry. : '''White Knight''': In the meantime, Dr. Meechum, I've checked, and your daughter is safe at her boarding school in England. : '''Dr. Meechum''': My daughter. Right. : '''White Knight''': We can make immediate arrangements to take you to her. : '''Dr. Meechum''': No, I'd rather stay with you if that's all right. It's, uh-- It's safer. : '''White Knight''': Of course. White Knight out. : '''Rex''': So, after that, Providence attacked Abysus to get the Master-Control Nanite. Guess you were next on their list. : '''Dr. Meechum''': I see. And all this happened in the last year? : '''Six''': You've missed a lot since you've been away, doctor. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Horrible. I could never work for a Providence like that. I have to say it's all very impressive. Providence has certainly done a lot in the last year. : '''Caesar''': And with your help, doctor, we can do more. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Where's White Knight? I should tell him I've arrived. : '''Black Knight''': I can answer that for you. It's good to have you back, doctor. : '''Dr. Meechum''': What happened to White? : '''Black Knight''': Just a routine change in command. Nothing to worry about. If you'll excuse me, gentlemen. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Tell me you have my money ready. : '''Black Knight''': You get away you want when I get what I want... Not before. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Relax. : '''Six''': I'm a professional, aren't I? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Six, see Meechum? I have some data I'd like to go over with him. Are you... okay? : '''Six''': Rebecca, I have something important to tell you. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Okay. Well... Thanks for tell me. : '''Six''': Rex, are you in here? I do not understand this show. : '''Dr. Holiday''': Am I interrupting? : '''Six''': Not at all. What can I do for you? : '''Dr. Holiday''': Nothing important. I just wanted to say... earlier... that was nice. Unexpected but nice. : '''Six''': Earlier? : '''Dr. Holiday''': In the lab? : '''Six''': I have no idea what you're talking about. : ''[Dr. Holiday scoffs]'' : '''Rex''': Six, I need to talk to you about Circe. Uh... Six? Earth to agent guy. You okay? : '''Six''': I'm fine. I've just decided not to waste any more time on you, Rex. : '''Rex''': Um... Is this because I accidentaly used your swords to slice a pizza? : '''Six''': It's because you're weak. You don't have what it takes to complete the mission. : '''Rex''': Ohh, I get it. This is one of your test, right? : '''Six''': No test. Just me coming to my senses. You're not strong enough to survive what's coming. In the end, you're gonna let us all down. : ''[Dr. Holiday crying]'' : '''Rex''': Doc? What's wrong? : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' I-It's nothing, Rex. I didn't want you to see me like this. : '''Rex''': Well, what is it? : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' It's Six. I'm afraid of him. : '''Rex''': What?! That's crazy talk. : '''Dr. Holiday''': ''[Sobbing]'' Is it? You have to have seen it. He's violent, on edge. He's losing control. : '''Rex''': Are we talking about the same Six? : '''Dr. Holiday''': We don't even known him. He was a killer, Rex. The old Six might have changed, but how do we know this Six didn't come back... Wrong? : ''[Dr. Meechum whistling]'' : '''Dr. Meechum''': I have a question. How do you plan to re-create the project without a bio-interface expert? : '''Caesar''': Oh, but we do have one. : '''Van Kleiss''': No! The string doesn't work. Gordian knot, tied up tight. Alexander cheated. Can't cheat. Eyes on your own paper! Peter? No! Can't be! Different time, different me. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Van Kleiss? You brought back that monster? : '''Caesar''': Of course. He was the original interface programmer. Who better? : '''Dr. Meechum''': Excuse me a moment. White, what the heck is going on?! : '''White Knight''': Peter? Where are you? : '''Dr. Meechum''': I'm at Providence. Where are you? : '''White Knight''': Providence. But that's not-- I have to go. We have a problem. : '''Rex''': You're darn right we have a problem, because this isn't Peter Meechum! : ''[Dr. Meechum laughing maniacally]'' : '''Scarecrow''': Heya, Rex. Miss me? : '''Rex''': Who are you? Where's Meechum? : '''White Knight''': His name's John Scarecrow. He's an EVO, specialist in infiltration. Black Knight played us. : '''Scarecrow''': You really don't remember me, Rex? I'll give you a hint. We used to share a stomping ground. We had a problem with a shapes hifter once. : '''Rex''': You were in Hong Kong. : '''Scarecrow''': Give the man a prize. : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Six''': I think he went that way. : '''Rex''': Wait a minute. : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Rex''': I cannot believe I fell for that. : '''Scarecrow''': Look at you. You're ridiculous. You think he'll come to his senses, realize his true feelings? Then what? You'll settle down. White picket fence. Little agent kids. You're fooling yourself. You're the worst of them... you know that?... Because you know better. You really think you can save the world? None of you can survive what's coming! : '''Rex''': Prove it's really you. What's my favorite color? : '''Six''': I have no idea. : '''Rex''': It's you, all right. : ''[Dr. Holiday screaming]'' : '''Dr. Holiday''': Put it away. I'm not the EVO. : '''Six''': We heard you scream. : '''Dr. Holiday''': That wasn't me. : '''Six''': Let's all calm down. We can figure this out. : '''Rex''': Why, Six? Because I'm weak? You don't think I can handle this? : '''Six''': I never said that. : '''Rex''': But you think it, right? I don't see you putting down your guns, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday''': I know it's not me. I'm not sure about you two. : ''[Scarecrow laughs]'' : '''Scarecrow''': So easy. I barely had to nudge you. : '''Rex''': Whatever you're after, you're not getting away with it. : '''Scarecrow''': Get away with it?! Re-e-e-x, I got what I needed in the first five minutes. : '''Rex''': Then why? Why do all this? : '''Scarecrow''': Simple. I wanted to do to you what you did to me. : '''Rex''': I'm done with you! : ''[Scarecrow groans]'' : '''Scarecrow''': The big hero. Why do you get to forget? It's not fair! : '''Rex''': Whine, whine, whine. What... you didn't get enough crazy hugs as a kid? : '''Scarecrow''': You think I'm the only one you hurt? Then tell me-- : '''Skwydd''': What about us? Why'd you betray me? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Circe:''' You promised to protect me, Rex. Where were you? : '''Rex:''' Stop it! : ''[Rex groans]'' : ''[Rex breathing heavily]'' : '''Caesar''': Face it, bro. It's why I left you. Mom and dad, too. : ''[Rex grunting]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Rex''': You're your own worst enemy. : '''Dr. Holiday''': That's for Rex. That's for Providence. And that was for the kiss. : '''White Knight''': Providence won this round. No question. : '''Rex''': They have the real Meechum. Maybe more. : '''Dr. Holiday''': There's no telling how much of our system Scarecrow uploaded. : '''Six''': But we have to assume they know everything we do. : ''[Scarecrow laughs evilly]'' : '''White Knight''': Black Knight is coming for us. It's just a matter of time. : '''Dr. Holiday''': So? I mean, we knew that. Nothing's changed, right? : '''Six''': Rex, this is what they wanted-- To turn us against each other. : '''Rex''': Yeah, and look how easy it was. We thought we were a team, but we're not. We're vulnerable. : '''Van Kleiss''': It's Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Looking past Occam's Razor, we can clearly see to a quantum level. A quantum level is what I'm trying to achieve, because if I didn't do the quantum level, then I can understand what's happening. : '''Caesar''': I know you don't like this, but it's not about us. : '''Dr. Meechum''': Can you do it? Can you control him? : '''Caesar''': Leave Van Kleiss to me. : '''Dr. Meechum''': What about Black Knight? I don't like her, Salazar. Never did. : '''Caesar''': Trust me, Peter-- When we're finished, the end will justify the means. ===Hermanos=== :'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-OA! Unh! Ugh! :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Agent Six''': Be careful, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm touched by your concern, Six. :'''Agent Six''': It's not for you. We don't have Providence to pick up the tab anymore. You break it, you buy it. :''[Rex growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm saving the day here. What are they gonna do--Sue me? Oh, come on! It was a rhetorical question! What was I supposed to do? The whole building was made of glass! :'''Lawyer''': ''[Hispanic accent]'' Glass? What are you talking about? :'''Rex Salazar''': I'm... not talking about anything. What are you talking about? :'''Lawyer''': Mr. Salazar, I'm an associate at the stateside branch of the Argentinean firm Gomez and Gomez. And today, sir, is your lucky day! :'''Rex Salazar''': What's this? :'''Lawyer''': It's yours! :'''Noah Nixon''': No away! This is your house? :'''Rex Salazar''': I know! According to the lawyer guy, this rancho in Argentina's been in my family forever. And ever since my parents died in the event, those lawyers have been trying to track down the heir. And guess who that is. :'''Noah Nixon''': You and your brother? :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, yeah, right. Him too. :'''Caesar Salazar''': Not a good time, Rex. :'''Rex Salazar''': Dude, it's never a good time, but you go to-- O...kay, so maybe this really isn't a good time, but this is important. I was being chased by a lawyer. No, I wasn't being sued this time. But you'll never guess what he-- :'''Caesar Salazar''': Is this about the rancho? :'''Rex Salazar''': You know about it? :'''Caesar Salazar''': Those lawyers have left me a dozen messages. :'''Rex Salazar''': And you didn't tell me? Caesar, I never even knew we had this place! There might be photo albums, home movies-- I don't know-- maybe even an old teddy bear or something. :'''Caesar Salazar''': You never had a teddy bear. :'''Rex Salazar''': See, the fact that you know that and I don't-- that's why we need to go down there. :'''Lawyer''': Clear! :'''Caesar Salazar''': I can't, Rex. My work's already been interrupted once today. Although... Now that you mention the ranch, it does bring back some memories. :'''Rex Salazar''': Really? Like what? :'''Caesar Salazar''': There was an experiment I remember mom and dad running. If you could find the notes, it might save some time on the work I'm doing now. :'''Rex Salazar''': Notes? Come on. Isn't family more important than-- Guess not. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Why can't I have a normal brother? Know anything about cows? Thanks for coming with me. This is really a family thing, but my brother is, well-- My brother. :'''Noah Nixon''': Are you kidding? I'm psyched! I've been killing myself trying to find a birthday present for Claire. A vacation at my best friend's awesome ancestral estate? What other guy could offer her that? :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, but then why bring Annie? :'''Annie''': Um, this just kind of broke off. :''[Annie, Claire and Noah screaming]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': AAAAAAH! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': I sure hope this isn't included in Six's "You break it, you buy it" policy. :'''Annie''': Sorry. :'''Rex Salazar''': No problem. We're here. :'''Claire Bowman''': Are... you sure this is the place? :'''Noah Nixon''': What happened to it? :'''Annie''': Hey, don't look at me. I just got there. :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Annie''': Okay, that was me. :'''Rex Salazar''': I guess this must be my... family. :'''Claire Bowman''': Looks like you-- But with a 'stache. :'''Annie''': I like you with a 'stache. :'''Claire Bowman''': Hey, there are chickens in here! :'''Annie''': And llamas! :'''Noah Nixon''': Chicken, llamas-- And a funny-looking bull. :''[Chiquito snorts]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': I-I-I take it back! You're not funny-looking! :'''Chiquito''': This place is Durango's! :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, actually-- :'''Chuquito''': No fancy talk! Just go! :'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Okay, number one, how is "actually" fancy talk! Number two, I don't know who Durango is, but this farm isn't his. And number three-- :''[Chiquito grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Ugh! Ugh! All right, there's no misunderstanding the international language of getting punched in the face. So read my fist-- Get out of my house! :'''Chiquito''': Durango will not be happy! :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, don't know who that guy was, but problem solved. :'''Noah Nixon''': Uh, you think? Aah! :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Calmate, Chiquito. You are my brother. I would not do anything to hurt mi hermano. Unless you force me to. I cannot lose that tract of land. Without its right of way, I will lose my claim on the rest of the county. But never mind. They will learn-- When you mess with the bull, you get the horns. :'''Rex Salazar''': OHHH! Ugh! :'''Noah Nixon''': A chicken just tried to poop on my shoe! :'''Rex Salazar''': I think I can top you there. :'''Noah Nixon''': No offense, but when I asked Claire to come here, this wasn't what I was hoping for. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, me either. I mean, I was thinking I'd find-- I don't know what. But everything in this place has been smashed or stolen. Maybe this whole family thing isn't for me. :''[Noah gasps]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': That's the one! :'''Claire Bowman''': Please, Noah. It just needed a little help laying an egg. :'''Rex Salazar''': ''[Chuckling]'' What, did you grow up on a farm in Kansas? :'''Claire Bowman''': An apartment in Chicago-- Which is where I learned to download videos onto my phone. :'''Telephone Voice''': When caring for an egg bearing hen, remember to-- :'''Muchado''': Hola? Quien esta aquí? :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh... hello? :'''Muchado''': So, you are the Americans? I am Señor Muchado-- The juez. :'''Claire Bowman''': That's like a judge? :'''Muchado''': Sí. For all intents and purposes, I am the law in this county-- Which is why I have come here with him. :'''Rex Salazar''': Good, because I definitely want to press charges. :'''Muchado''': You misunderstand. I am here because of the trouble you caused for Chiquito. :'''Rex Salazar''': Chiquito? :''[Rex chuckles]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Your mom must have some sense of humor to name you "Tiny". :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Muchado''': Chiquito's brother is Señor Durango. He controls most of the land in this county, including this hacienda. At Señor Durango's request, I have prepared a legal order compelling you to vacate. :'''Claire Bowman''': But this is Rex's farm. :'''Annie''': Yeah, he's got a deed and everything. :'''Muchado''': This might have some bearing-- If you were a Salazar. :'''Rex Salazar''': Well, we're in luck. I am. :'''Annie''': Maybe this will help. :'''Muchado''': You may be a Salazar, but by our law, this land has been deemed abandoned, and Señor Durango has claimed it. :'''Rex Salazar''': Sorry. Been sort of busy saving the world and stuff. But I'm here now, so consider his claim unclaimed, then reclaimed by me. :'''Muchado''': It is not so simple. You would have to demonstrate you are actively maintaining the ranch. That means shearing and feeding the animals, bringing your bulls to market-- :'''Rex Salazar''': To market? What, like a... cattle drive? :'''Claire Bowman''': No problem. We can totally figure out how to do that. :'''Muchado''': A ranch this size requires at least a dozen hired men. :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay, just... uh... :'''Muchado''': No one within 100 kilometers will help you cross Señor Durango. If you do this, you will do it alone. And you will fail. :'''Claire Bowman''': Well, that guy was kind of a jerk. :'''Annie''': Yeah. So, let's get to work. :'''Noah Nixon''': How? Everything here is broken. :'''Annie''': Uh, have you seen my house? :'''Rex Salazar''': You guys don't have to do this. :'''Claire Bowman''': What kind of friend would walk away now? :'''Noah Nixon''': Uh... yeah! No way you could stop me from helping take care of these totally not-gross animals. :'''Rex Salazar''': Really? :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, I'm smiling like that's what I mean, aren't? :''[Noah exhales deeply]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': I can do this! I can't do this. Until I've done my milking warm-up. :'''Claire Bowman''': Ugh. Hold this. :'''Telephone Voice''': With you head resting on her flank, gently grasp the udder with the palm of your hand. :'''Noah Nixon''': AAH! :''[Claire giggles]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': I think she likes you. :'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': This is your home. Get in your home! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Whoa! AAAH! AAH! Ugh! This is hopeless! This farm only has one bull, and I can't even get it into the barn. And this... better just be mud. :'''Annie''': Hang on! I'll help you! :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': No! Don't! :'''Noah Nixon''': Are you guys okay? :'''Claire Bowman''': What is it? A storm cellar? :'''Noah Nixon''': Looks like some kind of lab. :'''Rex Salazar''': Figures. My mom and dad were Caesar's parents, too. Of course they'd find a way to take work home with them. Probably where those notes Caesar wanted are. Might as well grab them before the judge kicks us out. :'''Claire Bowman''': What's he talking about? I think we're doing a pretty good job taking care of the-- :'''Annie''': Uh, guys-- :''[Claire grunts]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': Wait-- Donkeys eat hay, don't they? Maybe we can use it to lure them back into the barn. :'''Annie''': I got it! Ugh! :''[Annie gasps]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, on the plus side, at least we now know for sure that donkeys do eat hay. :'''Rafael Salazar''': One day, these things are going to change the world, and you'll be there to see it. :'''Violetta Salazar''': ''[chuckling]'' Caesar, please, mi hijo. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera. :'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay! Okay! :''[Claire sniffs]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': What's that smell? :'''Noah Nixon''': Which one? Everything here smells. :'''Claire Bowman''': No, it smells like... smoke! :'''Annie''': Rex! The straw caught on fire, and it exploded! :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Chiquito''': Hermano! No! Oomph! :'''Senior Durango''': What were you thinking? I told you to smoke them out, not burn the land! This is my land! If you weren't my brother-- :''[Chiquito growls]'' :'''Senior Durango''': But you are. Come here. :'''Rex Salazar''': So, you must be the brother. Hope I'm not interrupting some kind of weird tender moment. :'''Senior Durango''': Soy Durango. And I hope there is still a chance we can reach a resonable agreement. :'''Claire Bowman''': So, then you'll let Rex keep the farm? We played by the rules. :'''Senior Durango''': Around here, I make the rules. :'''Annie''': But the judge said-- :'''Senior Durango''': The judge works for me. Now, please, I'm giving you one last chance to leave. :'''Noah Nixon''': Okay, sure! Oh, wait-- That's right. Your fire blew up what was left of our plane! :'''Rex Salazar''': Uh, let me handle the trash-talking with the 20-foot-tall monster EVO, okay? Leave them out of this! They shouldn't even be here! It should have been my brother! :'''Senior Durango''': That is why you will lose your farm. Without family, a man is nothing. After all, what is this land to them? :'''Rex Salazar''': I don't even know what this place is to me. I came here hoping to find out more about who my family is. :''[Rex start looking at Noah, Claire and Annie, and smile to them]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': And I did. So, you're going to stop threatening them-- And me-- And get off my land. :''[Durango snarls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Okay. Here's the plan-- Stay behind me! Whoa! Ugh! :'''Noah Nixon''': Well, there goes that plan. :'''Senior Durango''': Hurt them. You can do that, can't you? :'''Claire Bowman''': W-what do we do now?! :'''Annie''': The only one of us with powers just got kicked to the curb. :'''Noah Nixon''': That depends on what you mean by "powers". :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :''[Rex muffled grunting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Not a good time, Caesar. :'''Caesar Salazar''': I just wanted to tell you-- Forget about those notes. I realized that's not what's important about you going down there. :''[Durango snarls]'' :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Wow, Caesar. I can't believe you came around. :'''Caesar Salazar''': I just realized-- The really important thing is, if you happen to find a termo-chronometer I remember having down there, it would save me from ordering one. :''[Chiquito snarls]'' :''[Chiquito growls]'' :''[Chiquito snarls, roars]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': Ugh! :''[Chiquito snorts]'' <hr width80%> :[''On videotape of the Salazar family]'' :'''Rafael Salazar''': One day these things are going to change the world and you'll be there to see it. :'''Violetta Salazar''': Cesar, please miquito. Stop working for a minute and hold the camera. :'''Young Caesar Salazar''': Okay, okay. <hr width80%> :'''Noah Nixon''': This morning, I almost had to touch a cow's underparts. You think you can do me worse than that? Bring it. :''[Chiquito snarls]'' :''[Chiquito roars]'' :'''Annie''': Ugh! I didn't mean for that to happen. :'''Claire Bowman''': We did. :'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ugh! AAAAAAAAAAARGH! :'''Senior Durango''': OOMPH! :''[Durango lows]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': WH-O-O-O-O-O-O O-OA! :''[Durango lows]'' :''[Durango snorts]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': AAAAAAAAH! :''[Durango growls]'' :''[Durango growls]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': Trust me-- My brother's let me down way worse. But what am I gonna do? He's my brother. :'''Senior Durango''': It is over. :'''Rex Salazar''': Nice ego there, but I've been hit a lot harder. :''[Durango spits]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Those bells signal the market is ending soon. I can see you have yet to herd you cattle there. :'''Rex Salazar''': Oh, come on! The one cattle I've got doesn't even move! :'''Senior Durango''': If you do not have your cattle to market before it ends, you will have failed to fulfill your deed, and this land will be mine. :'''Rex Salazar''': Then I guess I don't have any time to waste talking about it. :'''Claire Bowman''': Come on. Come here. :'''Rex Salazar''': Forget it. I got this. :'''Claire Bowman''': WHOO-HOO! Yes! Go, Rex! :''[Rex grunting]'' :'''Claire Bowman''': Where's Durango? :'''Rex Salazar''': OWW! Come on! You don't move the whole time, and you can't stay still? :''[Durango grunting]'' :'''Noah Nixon''': What is this, a western? You're actually trying to stop him with a rockslide? :'''Senior Durango''': You? Here? How is that even possible? :'''Telephone Voice''': Donkeys can be ridden surprinsingly fast if you-- :'''Noah Nixon''': Come on! Just give up! The farm belong to Rex. And I really want to get off this thing. :'''Senior Durango''': You think I'm afraid of you ''[scoffs]'' boy? :'''Claire Bowman''': Oh, it's not the boy you should be afraid of. :'''Annie''': Oops. :''[Durango grunting]'' :'''Senior Durango''': Ugh! :''[Rex panting]'' :'''Rex Salazar''': We sheared the llamas, we milked the cows, I got the bull to town. We did everything in the deed. :'''Muchado''': Sí, sí. But more important, you faced Durango and won! Once the other ranchers hear of this, they won't be afraid. You have broken Durango's hold on our lands. :'''Rex Salazar''': Wait-- You're... happy about that? :'''Muchado''': Of course. I told you exactly what you had to do to legally gain control of the land, didn't I? :'''Rex Salazar''': Huh. I guess you did. :'''Claire Bowman''': Wow! Can you believe how you perfect this all worked out? :'''Noah Nixon''': Yeah, uh, so, maybe we should get out of here before we wear out our welcome. :'''Rex Salazar''': There's just one thing I want to do first. ===The Rescue=== :''Note'': Rex goes alone to rescue his girlfriend Circe from the clutches of Black Knight. but it turns out she has been waiting for him. <hr width80%> ===Alone Together=== :''Note'': Finally together at last, Rex and Circe reminiscence about their good and hard times together ans their romance begins to grow. ===Retribution=== ===Temporary Insanity=== ===Crime and Punishment=== :''Note:'' His false insanity revealed, Van Kleiss abducts Circe with the intent of punishing her for betraying him, due to her enduring love for Rex. <hr width80%> :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, Circe, you shall learn the ultimate price of betraying me. :'''Rex:''' ''Leave her alone!!'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, Rex. For young love. One of your greatest weaknesses.

We're seeing the Trendbenders live! :'''Rex:''' Well, maybe not see them, but we'll totally hear them. :'''Sebastian''': Attention! The Trendbenders will be arriving through the back of the club. :'''Beverly:''' Slick trick! Yes, Rebecca. I know! Only drink the bottled water. No, we're not that close to the stage. Ugh! I know that's where they mosh-pit. Don't worry! Bye! :'''Rex:''' Your sister is acting like your mother. I wouldn't put up with it. Doc?! I'm right next to her! Yes, we've got earplugs. Only bottled water-- I know! Yes, you'll pick us up at 11:00. Okay! Bye! :'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' I met a guy who has looking for a lucky break. I met a guy mad he wouldn't make a mistake. No loser here the weight would be upon his face. This ain't no lucky break it's just another day. :'''Beverly:''' Hey! :'''Rex:''' There's something wrong with that guy. :'''Beverly:''' Yeah! It's called lack of social skills. :'''Sebastian:''' We have to talk! You got to listen to me! :'''Rex:''' I think they're a little too busy for a chat right now. :'''Sebastian:''' It's me! Your first fan! :'''Rex:''' Come on, dude. Can't you just watch the show, like everyone else? :'''Sly:''' ''[singing]'' You won't bring me down. Yeah-yeah-yeah. You won't bring me down. :'''Sebastian:''' I'm not just everyone else. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' You want to rethink trying to stop me? :'''Beverly:''' Whoa! Geek in triplicate! :'''Rex:''' More like EVO geek. :'''Sebastian:''' I bet you're not even a real fan! :'''Rex:''' Hey, I know their music! :'''Sebastian:''' Yeah? What album is "Bitten on the Wind" from? :'''Beverly:''' Uh, their first album. :'''Sebastian:''' Wrong! Their third! Poser! :'''Sly:''' Here's one from our first album-- "Bitten on the Wind." :'''Beverly:''' Told ya! Their first album! Who's the poser now? :'''Sebastian:''' But it is their third. They keep denying their first two albums exist! :'''Rex:''' Huh? :''[Rex bones cracking]'' :'''Rex:''' Shouldn't you be home, making sure your mom isn't snooping around your basement? Ouch! All right, I've had enough. :'''Sebastian:''' I know you. You're that guy from Providence that beats up on EVOs. :'''Rex:''' And I'm guessing you're not one of my fans. :'''Sebastian:''' This isn't over! They still need me to show them the way back. I'll make them listen to me.. No matter what! Ugh! :'''Man:''' No re-entry without a hand stamp. :'''Rex:''' Uh, but-- :'''JoJo:''' It's okay. He's with me. I'm JoJo, the band's manager. :'''Beverly:''' Oh! Sly Tyler, vocals, six-stringer. Burrito Beau on the big bottom, and Leon Adler on the skins. :'''Beau:''' Bass. Drums. :'''Beverly:''' They're even cutter up close! :'''JoJo:''' But Sebastian isn't. And now that fruitcake fan has become a major menace. :'''Rex:''' You know who that guy is? :'''Sly:''' Yeah, he's one of our first fans from way back. :'''Leon:''' But he didn't like our change in music direction. :'''Beau:''' Change, like in popular. :'''Sly:''' So he started sending us nasty e-mails and slagging us on the fan sites. :'''JoJo:''' But now he's turned violent, and it turns out he's... H-he's... :'''Rex:''' An EVO that can multiply himself. :'''JoJo:''' We can't handle that kind of threat, but you can. :'''Beverly:''' Is this a job offer? :'''JoJo:''' As head of security for the rest of the tour. :'''Rex:''' Huh, I don't know. Putting up with groupies, great music, catering, the Rock'n'roll lifestyle-- Oh, right, like I'm not totally in for this! :'''Beverly:''' And I'm your deputy, sheriff. :'''Sly:''' Absolutely. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Absolutely not. :'''Rex:''' They've got an EVO threat. :''[Dr. Holiday sighs]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Fine, Rex. Beverly? And don't forget to use earplugs. :'''Rex:''' Private jet to the next gig? Airline-- First class? Coach? :'''JoJo:''' Of the road kind. :'''Rex:''' Traveling the open road, bringing music to the people. Where to next? :'''Beau:''' Eugene, Oregon. ''[Unenthusiastically]'' WHOO-HOO! :'''Rex:''' Ow! :'''Leon:''' Bad seat. Got a lot of them. :''[Beau farts]'' :''[Rex sniffs]'' :'''Leon and Rex:''' Oh! :''[Leon coughs]'' :'''Leon:''' Isn't the ozone layer depleted enough, Beau? :'''Rex:''' Want to hit the streets and check out the local scene? :'''Sly:''' Seriously, man? It's just another town. :'''Beau:''' Been there. Seen them all. :'''TV Announcer:''' He's currently under 3, 2 behind the leader. This is a very tricky-- :'''Rex:''' Oh, let's throw this in the pool! :'''Leon:''' Hey, I'm watching something, dude! :'''Rex:''' How about a food fight? :'''Sly:''' Sorry, man. Not feeling it. :'''Rex:''' This isn't feeling very Rock'n'Roll. :'''JoJo:''' Rex, we hired you to consult on security, not rock-tour clichés. :'''Sebastian:''' Room service. :'''JoJo:''' Again? You guys, this is costing too much. :'''Sly:''' But we didn't order anything else. :'''Sebastian:''' That's okay. This is on the house! :''[Sebastian grunts]'' :''[JoJo gasps]'' :'''Rex:''' Look out! He's got... Paperwork? :'''Sebastian:''' I've got notes and visuals on where you've gone commercial and how you can get back to your roots! He's with the band now? He's not even a real fan! You see? You've got to come with me. You need my help! :'''Rex:''' They're not going anywhere, but you are! :'''Sebastian:''' My copies don't feel pain. :'''Rex:''' But you do! :'''Girl:''' Whoa! You must really be a big fan! :'''Sebastian:''' Only of their early stuff. :'''Girl:''' Eww! Their early stuff is weak. :'''Teen girl:''' But their new songs are awesome! :''[Girls giggling]'' :''[Sebastian growls]'' :''[Girls screaming]'' :'''Rex:''' Excuse me. I'm with the band. :'''Teen girl:''' But you missed your ride. :'''Rex:''' That's okay. I've got my own. :'''Man:''' Rock bands! Never again! :'''Sebastian:''' I've got to take you away from this sellout existence, where you deny your first two albums even exist. :'''Sly:''' B-but those albums weren't any good. That's why we only had a few fans, like you. :'''Rex:''' If there's only three of them, then who's driving the car? :'''Sebastian:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' Did he... Ah! Rent that car from the circus? Time to cut this act short. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' Oh, man. I went to my first Trendbenders show in that car. :'''Rex:''' Maybe I can't turn off your obsession, but I can shut down your nanites. :'''Beau:''' That clone-boy? :'''Rex:''' I don't think he's going to be a problem now. :'''JoJo:''' We can still use you on the tour. What did you say? :'''Rex:''' Yes! :'''Sly:''' Good man! ''[singing]'' You see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", kill your radio, you live a life for all to see, sometimes it's right, sometimes obscene, now you're the enemy, it's one for all and all for me, unlocking doors and misery, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, out of time, kill your radio, it isn't all, that it's cracked up to be, I never thought it'd be so easy, I wouldn't have it any other way, you see the light, and it's oh, so bright, a million times more than before, now we'll show you the door, some starts fade, and some starts shine, the bright ones stand the test of time, the others burn out and sing, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah, we almost made it", "yeah, but we're overrated", out of time, kill your radio, "yeah". :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Sly:''' At least we got a day off before the next gig. :'''JoJo:''' Guys, a club owner in fleeceburg just offered us amazing money. I booked it. :'''Rex:''' For when? :'''JoJo:''' We're already running late. :'''Sly:''' They're paying money for us to play in this dump? :'''JoJo:''' Big money. Come on. You're on in ten minutes. :'''Rex:''' I'm guessing ticket sales are a little slow. :'''Leon:''' Are we breaking up? :'''Beau:''' This dive seems awfully familiar. :'''Sebastian:''' It should. :'''Rex:''' That voice seems awfully familiar! :'''Teens:''' Dude! Nobody move! What's going on? Who's touching me? What is this? Excuse me. What is going on? :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' I built an exact replica of the first club you played in. :'''Beau:''' Hey, that's one of my puke stains. Fruitcake knows his details. :'''Rex:''' But I cured you. :'''Sebastian:''' Hmm... That was a copy, not the original. :'''Sly:''' Whatever. When's this gonna end, fan-boy? :'''Sebastian:''' It ends tonight. Check the floor at your feet. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Sebastian:''' I've given up trying to get you back to your roots. So now you'll play what I want to hear for the next hour. And then your career ends with a bang. :'''Sly:''' On behalf of the band, I'd like to thank our manager, JoJo, for booking this totally insane gig! :''[JoJo laughs nervously]'' :'''Sebastian:''' The sound of cold, hard cash is the only music sellouts like you listen to anymore. :'''Rex:''' They're not sellouts. They just got more popular than you wanted. :'''Sebastian:''' You try anything, and I'll end their last gig prematurely. You're only alive because I want you to see what the Trendbenders used to be like. For the next hour give me the early stuff, when you were cool. :'''Sly:''' Why bother? You're gonna nuke us, anyway. :'''Sebastian:''' Because if you don't play, this happens! :'''Sly:''' Aah! :'''Leon, Sly and Beau:''' No more! :'''Sly:''' Okay, dude, what's the first number? :'''Sebastian:''' "Crawling undertow"! :'''Sly:''' Well, how does it feel? :'''Sebastian:''' First album, seventh song. Fifth song on the Japanese import. :'''Sly:''' To get that weight back on our shoulders-- :'''Sebastian:''' You're giving it a beat that wasn't in the original, man! Not even in the remix from the box set. Play it right this time! I'm missing the concert because of you! :'''Rex:''' Stinks to be you. Got to cure the real Sebastian. But which one is the mother ship? :'''Sebastian:''' You can't even play your old songs like you used to. Total disappointment. Let's end this bummer concert. :'''Sly:''' But we still have over a half-hour left! :'''Sebastian:''' Last song, no encore. :'''Rex:''' Tell me who's the original, or I'll turn you into dessert topping! :'''Sebastian:''' You don't scare me. I don't feel pain. :'''Rex:''' But the real Sebastian does. Sly! Maximum feedback! Now! Thanks, Doc. :'''Sebastian''': AAAHHHH! :'''Rex:''' How do you like their new hit, Sebastian Prime? Here's another new groove you're not going to like. :'''Sebastian:''' Aah! :'''Rex:''' Congrats. You're back to being a solo act. :'''Sebastian:''' You've got to listen to me! :''[Sebastian yelling]'' :'''Rex:''' Kidnapping, assault and battery, construction without a permit-- that should keep him away for years. :'''JoJo:''' Have to say it, guys, but we've got a gig in toledo to get to. Security? :'''Rex:''' Not anymore. Sebastian's done, and so am I. :'''Sly:''' Dude, I thought you wanted the rock'n'roll lifestyle. :'''Rex:''' I'm not tough enough for it. I need to get back to something easier, like city-smashing EVOs and conspiracies to take over the world. :'''Beau:''' Don't know what your missing. :'''Rex:''' I think do. But I don't miss this. Yes, doc? Don't need my earplugs anymore. I quit. Will you let me tell you? No, the EVO threat wasn't just an excuse. Well, I'm coming back! Will you let-- Doc! ===Lost and Found=== ===My Brother's Keeper=== ===Target: the Consortium=== : '''Jungle Cat:''' You are...? : '''Rex:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. What are you? : '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found. : '''Rex:''' HUNH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! : ''[Rex gasps deeply]'' : '''Rex:''' Whoa. That was a total zero on the fun meter. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Learning how to communicate with the nanite world isn't about fun. Did you get anywhere at all? : '''Rex:''' Don't know. I connected with a Master Control Nanite for a second, and then I lost it. But I also got, like, this feeling that something's about to happen in the nanite world. Something... big. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Argh! This is Rylander's speciality, not mine. There's no way I can cover for him. : '''Caesar:''' Not to worry, Dr. Meechum. You won't have to any longer. Dr. Rylander will take over from here. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Oh, really, Caesar? From his current location of beyond the grave? : '''Rylander:''' Actually, Peter, I was never completely dead-- just spread a little thin-- ''[chuckling]'' Moleculary speaking. Caesar's been working on putting me back together. : '''Black Knight:''' All of them together-- At last. Contact the Consortium. We now have something to show them. Something big. : '''White Knight:''' Even having two of the Master-Control Nanites doesn't change the vital importance of finding the other three. But the latest intel I've received could give us a way to neutralize the group obsessed with these machines. : '''Six:''' The Consortium. : '''Rex:''' Aren't those the money guys that bankrolled the Nanite Project in Providence? : '''White Knight:''' The same. Formerly made-up of six members, but now five-- Reddick, made his wealth in real estate and construction. Vostock, black market finance and KGB... Zanubian, arms dealing and shipping. Roswell, oil and minerals. Anthony Haden-Scott, worldwide media. : ''[Rex munches]'' : '''Rex:''' Should we be writing this down for the pop quiz later? : '''White Knight:''' You may be facing them soon because of the efforts of our stealthiest agent. : '''Rex:''' Mm! Thank you! I think. : '''Jungle Cat:''' He's not talking about you. : '''Rex:''' Hey! It's Evo-cat guy! Uh... sorry-- What's your name? O...kay, cat with no collar, what's in the sack? Bunch of canaries? Well, that's... something. : '''White Knight:''' Our associate has been tracking the Consortium with a little help from a former member. : '''Rex:''' I remember him! He's the one Rylander got revenge on with an EVO love letter. : '''Jungle Cat:''' That he never recovered from. But he's still full of useful knowledge about the other members. : '''Rex:''' As long as you have a towel handy for the answers. : '''Jungle Cat:''' The Consortium has financed a new facility for nanite research. All of them will be at that location within the next six hours. : '''Six:''' And so will we. : '''White Knight:''' A rare opportunity like this can't be missed. You three will capture the Consortium and bring them to a secure location. Understood? : '''Rex:''' Purrfectly. : '''Black Knight:''' Gentlemen, I wanted you here today to-- : '''Reddick:''' "Wanted?" Sounds like a command. : '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You get to ask, not order. : '''Black Knight:''' I'm sorry. Let me restate. I asked you here because I can now present some major developments in your quest. I finished construction on the nanite reactor and reassembled against all odds the original science team to run it. Doctors Meechum, systems expert. Salazar, artificial intelligence. Rylander, microengineering. And Van Kleiss, biomechanical integration. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Nanite's recorder locked in. Hologram Rylander saves money on meals. Glow, glow, glow, yipper. : ''[Van Kleiss smooches]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' A human flashlight and a brain-fried babbler. This is what I'm supposed to work with. : '''Vostok:''' Looks like your geniuses have some issues. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' ''[British accent]'' I seem to recall there were two other Salazars on the team. : '''Black Knight:''' They're dead-- And just as well. Considering their actions are responsible for our setbacks, I highly doubt they would have cooperated. : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Black Pawns:''' Ohh! : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' Black Pawns got to talk to their costume designer. Way too stuffy. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Be quiet. : '''Six:''' Our target? : '''Roswell:''' ''[Southern accent]'' Little lady, I'm hoping you didn't get me out here just to watch some lab jockeys do their homework. : '''Vostok:''' I know I've got better things to do. : '''Black Knight:''' Aside from the all-important reassembly of the science team and activation of the nanite reactor, I do have another development to show you. : '''Roswell:''' Yeah? What else you got? : '''Black Knight:''' An acquisition. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Lost... and found. : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' What's wrong with you? : '''Rex:''' Forget the Consortium! I know where we can find a Master-Control Nanite. : '''Six:''' Where? : '''Rex''': Here. : '''Six:''' We're doing both. You two get the nanite, I'll get the Consortium. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' On of the five? That's all? : '''Reddick:''' You know we need all of the Master-Control Nanites to do us any good. : '''Vostok:''' What about the two you lost? And the other two still out there? : '''Black Knight:''' We'll have the other four in due time. Take this back to the vault. But remember that each one has its own useful powers. : '''Roswell:''' Not enough to drag me all the way out there, little lady. : '''Black Knight:''' "Black Knight". : '''Black Pawns:''' You're not one of us. : '''Six:''' Stay clear of the Pawns. They're not buying our cover. Repeat-- Stay clear of the Pawns. : '''Rex:''' Steel door. A vault! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' That was close. : '''Rex:''' Got it. Have to be as stealthy as you from now on. : ''[Jungle Catsnarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarling]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Van Kleiss! : ''[Jungle Cat muffled grunting]'' : '''Rex:''' Way not to be stealthy. Sorry, cat guy. I know you want payback for him turning you into stone and all, but the nanite is more important. : '''Black Pawns:''' Security alert. Intruder. : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' You find the nanite. I'll be a diversion. <hr width80%> : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' She has shown us some progress. That one nanite is significant in itself. : '''Reddick:''' It's all five or nothing. Or are you thinking of working a separate deal with the one? : '''Vostok:''' Can we please not talk like this while those two are in the room? : '''Roswell:''' Yeah, Xanubian, put a sock in all your yammerin'. : '''Black Pawns:''' Another intruder at security zone three. It's Agent Six. : '''Rex:''' Gotcha. : '''Black Pawns:''' Unh! Aah! : '''Rex:''' I'll take that. Six! I've got the nanite! : '''Six:''' Meet your outside. : ''[Rex gasps]'' : ''[Rex grunting]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Rex:''' I've got it! Let's scat, cat! : '''Black Knight:''' If he's here-- So is Rex. Vault security, come in. : '''Reddick:''' Is there a problem? : '''Black Knight:''' A minor security issue. I'm taking care of it. : '''Vostok:''' ''[Russian accent]'' You better, little lady. : '''Rex:''' Well, mission half accomplished. : '''Six:''' This should complete it. : '''Rex:''' You planted a bomb?! : '''Six:''' Plan "B". : '''Rex:''' The cat! He's still inside! No! We've got to go back for the cat! He's on his own mission. Van Kleiss is there. : '''Six:''' Understood. : '''Black Pawns:''' Black Knight, shouldn't we evacuate? : '''Black Knight:''' The security threat has been removed. Among other things. Track them, find them. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Interlace template, instal copper buffers, hold the mayo, set core temp, heat cold fries. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Remember me? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Someone let the cat in. : '''Jungle Cat:''' You cast me aside as if I was garbage. Turned me to stone. Drained me of life-- Almost. Now it's your turn to suffer. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Had a kitty once. Not you. Bubbles liked catnip and parsnips. Chapped lips. Hip, hip, hooray! : ''[Jungle Cat growls]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're here to clean up, ask for directions, not Dr. Screwloose. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Meechum. Bro. He's here to put Van Kleiss out of the world's misery. Give me a reason why he shouldn't. : ''[Jungle Cat growls]'' : '''Rylander:''' Because the world needs him right now, Rex. : '''Rex:''' Dr. Rylander! How did you-- : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Rex:''' ''[to Caesar]'' You got it to work. : '''Rylander:''' I've looked better, I'll admit, but I'm still very much alive. And so happy to see you again. : '''Rex:''' If you could bring him back-- : '''Caesar:''' Sorry, Rex. It won't work for mom and dad. : '''Rex:''' So, you've come back-- But you're working for them! : '''Rylander:''' It seems crazy, I know, but look at our progress-- The nanite reactor is almost operational! : '''Rex:''' Not if I destroy it. : '''Black Knight:''' Surround them. : '''Caesar:''' Trust me, hermano, We're doing the right thing. : '''Rex:''' You keep saying that, but I don't believe it anymore! : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Bubbles, I'm sorry. Here, kitty, kitty. Left you out in the rain, rain go away-- : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarling]'' : '''Van Kleiss:''' Ugh! Easy on the hot sauce, Peter, Peter pumpkin two seater. : '''Rylander:''' ''[to Caesar]'' Tell him, Caesar! : '''Rex:''' Tell me what? : '''Six:''' Revenge time is up. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : ''[Jungle Cat roars]'' : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Aah! Careful! Our work! Ugh! Take it outside! : '''Rex:''' Ugh! : ''[Rex grunting]'' : '''Jungle Cat:''' Rex. Rex Salazar. : '''Rex:''' I can't talk now! Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Thank you. : '''Rex:''' You're so not welcome. : '''Black Knight:''' You should have left when you had the chance. : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' You guys have such a great cafeteria. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Had to come back for more. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Aah! Unh! : '''Six:''' Unh! : ''[Black Knight grunting]'' : '''Black Knight:''' Unh! : '''Six:''' UNNNNNNNNH! : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : ''[Jungle Cat snarls]'' : '''Rex:''' Let's say adiós. : '''Six:''' There's still plan "B". : '''Rex:''' We're not assassins. : '''Six:''' You're not. This might be our one chance. : '''Rex:''' To be like them? Then what makes us different? : '''Six:''' Go. I'm right behind you. : '''Roswell:''' You brought us into an ambush! Right behind you, Mr. Chatterbox. : '''Vostok:''' You are cowards. : '''Reddick:''' Graveyards are full of dummies that thought they were though. : '''Vostok:''' Black Knight, we have a lot to discuss about your future. : '''Black Knight:''' By all means, let's talk. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Where's Six? : '''Rex:''' He said he was right behind us. : '''Six:''' I am. The Consortium still has to be dealt with. : '''Rex:''' We now have three Master Control Nanites. I'd say the Consortium has to deal with us. : '''Six:''' Understood. : '''Jungle Cat:''' Purrfectly. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I'm shocked. What happened? : '''Black Knight:''' It seems Vostok had an unfortunate run-in with our intruders as he was leaving. But, there's good news. The reactor is gone. Soon we will have all the nanites we need. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' "We"? : '''Black Knight:''' I think it's time we walked about my promotion. ===Convergence=== ===Enter the Nanite World=== ===Enemies Mine=== : '''Valve:''' Battle is to be waged between your courage and my power. You lose. : '''Gatlocke:''' Valve, my friend. Lovely day for a riot, don't you think? : '''Valve:''' What do you want, Gatlocke? : '''Gatlocke:''' I want lots of things-- A doomsday weapon, my own private island, for my mom to stop calling me to fix her computer. But what I really want is to give you a message. It's time. I suppose I'll make the introductions. : '''Valve:''' A biker needs no introduction. And everyone knows Hunter Cain. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Everything is going according to plan. We get one more thing. Then we get wrecked. : '''Rex:''' Sorry we're late. : '''Bobo:''' We're not late. We're fashionably early. : '''Providence Agent:''' I was starting to think I was on my own. I've been calling for help, but Providence hasn't answered. : '''Six:''' What set this off? : '''Providence Agent:''' No idea. One moment everything was fine. The next moment, complete chaos. : '''Rex:''' I'm heading in. I'll lock up when I'm done. Oh, don't bother getting up. I'm just gonna knock you back down again. : '''Bobo:''' Back in your cages, you filthy animals! : '''Rex:''' Huh? What? You? It's a who's-who of old EVOs. Whew! Really not in the mood for this. You're kidding me. You?! : '''Gatlocke:''' Three men, one objective, no rules. Oh, this is exciting, isn't it? Or is it just me? : '''Valve:''' The others are saying that Rex is here. Rex will get his when we're ready. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Watch yourselves. This one's unpredictable. We know what you want, No-Face. Then we can give it to you. Do what we say. Then you'll get Rex. You'll get the chance to tear Rex apart. Piece by piece. Now we're ready. : '''Rex:''' So you remember who I am. Surprised you have a big enough brain for that. These cells are pretty dull. Let's redecorate. No way I'm letting an EVO get won over on me. Especially a big old frog. : '''Gatlocke:''' Almost out. Freedom is just a... Bottomless ravine away. : '''Valve:''' The biker begs the question, how are we getting across? : '''Gatlocke:''' You know that's not really how begging the question is supposed to be used. Are we kidding? Anyone who gets worked up over that phrase needs to be savagely beaten. : '''Hunter Cain:''' This'll override the drawbridge system. : '''Gatlocke:''' Ooh, now how would someone like you procure something like that? : '''Hunter Cain:''' Friends and hide places. : '''Rex:''' Okay, frog legs. Let's put you in solitary confinement. : '''Bobo:''' Do you look like you got run over by an overstuffed garbage truck? : '''Rex:''' Feels like it. This is a prison riot. Where's Providence? They should be all over this. : '''Six:''' They never responded to any calls. : '''Rex:''' It's a setup. Providence wanted this to happen. But why? : '''Six:''' Six here. Go ahead. : '''Rex:''' Wait. This bridge wasn't down before. : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. About that. Some of the prisoners escaped together. Gatlocke... : '''Rex:''' That's bad. : '''Bobo:''' Hunter Cain... : '''Rex:''' That's even worse! : '''Bobo:''' Valve. : '''Rex:''' That's... Really? Valve? : '''Bobo:''' Yeah. And No-Face. : '''Rex:''' Those four are loose? Together? : '''Six:''' We've got a bigger problem. : '''Rex:''' How can it be bigger than this? : '''Six:''' The EVOs in the city-- The only thing keeping them tame are their control collars. : '''Rex:''' And this is a problem because...? : '''Six:''' Because someone has shut them all down. : '''Rex:''' Let me get that for you. : '''Bobo:''' Dumpster dog. Considering you used to ride around in the Paris, I guess you're moving up in the world. Main to your mud. : '''Six:''' Are you injured? : '''Rex:''' Just worn out. Is this day over yet? : '''Bobo:''' Oh! Signs pointing no. : '''Rex:''' Huh? That came from the track. Can you handle things here? : '''Bobo:''' Only one way to find out. Valve. Those nanite superchargers you keep using are bad for your health. : '''Valve:''' If I were you, I'd be more concerned with your own short-term health. : '''Rex:''' Please, like I have anything to worry about from you. The other three, they're dangerous. You, you're just comedy relief. : '''Valve:''' I am not. Comedy relief. : '''Rex:''' Well, you're not funny, that's for sure. : '''Valve:''' Like the road that continues on, so must the biker. : '''Rex:''' Where did he go so? Ew! Get away from my tacos, cockroach! Huh? You running away? I'll give you this much, Valve. Maybe you're getting smarter. : '''No-Face:''' Unlike you. : '''Rex:''' I put you away once, No-Face. I'll do it again. : '''No-Face:''' The one who makes machines. The one we've been waiting for. : '''Rex:''' Huh? Figures you try to shoot a guy in the back. : '''Hunter Cain:''' All I see is a filthy EVO. : '''Rex:''' Okay, first off, that Lai is tired. Second off, last time I checked, you're teaming up with one. Would that make you an EVO lover? All this hide and seek is wearing me down! Huh? Figures. : '''Gatlocke:''' Leaving so soon? That's not going to impress the hiring committee. Now, let's see what we have here. "Honor roll, A/V Club." Ugh. "Glee Club." ''[Scoffs]'' I'm going to have to be brutally honest with you. You're perfect for my gang. Can you sing soprano? My last soprano drove his motorcycle off a cliff. He survived, but his voice was never the same. By the way, can you fly? This is quite the surprise. I'm willing to hire you, Rex, but you better have some excellent references. : '''Rex:''' Back to prison, Gatlocke! : '''Gatlocke:''' Then consider the offer rescinded! You could be a valued member of my gang. It's a tough job market out there, you know? : '''Rex:''' I'd never work for you! : '''Gatlocke:''' No, not with that attitude, you wouldn't. Welcome to my gang. Your first task is to destroy Rex-- That guy right there. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' Your second task is to complete harassment training. I teach the class. This pamphlet explains everything. : '''Rex:''' No, no, no! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, come in. What's happening? : '''Rex:''' One really bad day. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Your nanite readings are off the charts. : '''Rex:''' No surprise. I've been fighting and curing EVOs non stop. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' We need to upload your nanites immediately. : '''Rex:''' Now? Doc, my four worst enemies are still on the loose. Well, my three worst enemies in Valve. Plus the city's in chaos. And where in the world is Providence? How come they're not here dealing with this? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Six and Bobo can mop up the last few EVOs. You have to offload. : '''Rex:''' Okay, fine. But we better make it fast. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You'll be locked in the chamber for one hour. : '''Rex:''' Just do it, doc. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' This could be a long sixty minutes. : '''Valve:''' According to the tracking bug, Rex is inside. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Gentlemen, this is what we've been waiting for. It's time for Rex to die. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' They followed him. : '''Gatlocke:''' After we kill Rex. We should work together and form a team call ourselves... Gatlocke and the kitty cats. : '''Valve:''' Silence your mouth or the biker will silence it for you. : '''Gatlocke:''' Oh, Valve. You can pretend to be angry, but deep down, you know you're a kitty cat. : '''Hunter Cain:''' They know we're here. : '''Gatlocke:''' You're quite feisty. Have you ever considered a career in the fast growing field of post apocalyptic gangs? : '''Valve:''' She has spirit. Valve the biker will see that spirit crushed. : '''Gatlocke:''' You're Gatlocke's favorite kitty cat. Hmm. Rrr. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Don't follow her. She's trying to lead us away from Rex. Rex is close-by. : '''Valve:''' Rex's chamber... Five minutes to spare. : '''Hunter Cain:''' More than enough time. : '''Gatlocke:''' I could have sworn that we'd agreed to take Rex out together. : '''Hunter Cain:''' I'm changing the terms of the deal if you have a problem with that, feel free to stand right where you are. I've waited a long time for this. Rex! : '''Valve:''' Empty? Or a trick of the mind? : '''Rex:''' Isn't that obvious? Then again, that tracking bug you stuck on me was obvious, too. And the fake countdown? Obvious. It only took me thirty minutes to upload my nanites. You wanted to run me ragged so you could get me. Instead, here you are all in one place. Gotcha! : '''Valve:''' UGHH! : '''Rex:''' UGHHHH! I still don't get why you enlisted Valve. I mean, he's really a third-string bad guy. : '''Valve:''' Valve is the biker. A biker is dangerous. : '''Rex:''' Hmm. Yeah. No. : '''Valve:''' Rrrr! : '''Rex:''' So unpredictable. Like a third-string bad guy. : '''Valve:''' AAAAH! : '''Gatlocke:''' I have a horrible sneaking suspicion that he's winning. : '''Hunter Cain:''' Then do something about it! : '''Gatlocke:''' Don't have to yell. A kind word will get you much further. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' UGHHH! Oh! Oh! Oh ho ho! Ouch! My back! My front and my back! OHH! This is total, total agony! : ''[Gatlocke gasps]'' : '''Gatlocke:''' ''[Calmly]'' I'm okay. Really. I'm fine. : '''Hunter Cain:''' You're lucky. I'll give you that. But you're only delaying the inevitable. You can't beat us all! : '''Rex:''' I never intended to. This offload facility? I reprogrammed it. My surplus nanites aren't being stored. They're powering the shield. : '''Hunter Cain:''' It's a trap! : '''Rex:''' Have fun keeping each other company! : '''Bobo:''' What a day. : '''Rex:''' You know, none of this would have happened if Providence hadn't released the convicts and turned out all those EVOs. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' They did that to keep you busy. : '''Rex:''' Keep me busy from what? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' The Nanite Project. We just found out. While we dealt with the EVOs, Black Knight got her hands on another Master-Control Nanite. : '''Rex:''' Then it's time. ===Sinister Secrets=== ===Wounded Hearts=== ===One Step Ahead=== ===Breaking Point=== ===Behind Closed Doors=== ===Keeping Hope=== ===Trust=== ===Terror of the Black Knight=== ===Endgame, Part One=== : '''Rex:''' It was going to happen sooner or later. We had most of the pieces, so it was only a matter of time before the Black Knight made her move. And of all the chances she had to attack, it had to be tonight... at this very moment... while I was in the shower. Huh? How many? : '''Six:''' Should it matter? : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Can't you do any better than that? : '''Bobo:''' I thought you'd never ask. : '''Rex:''' Rah! Yah! : '''Dr. Holiday:''' If they get to the Meta-Nanites, we still have options. : '''Rex:''' Of the self-destruct kind? No, thanks, doc. It's not going to end that way... hopefully. : '''Black Knight:''' We'll dispense with the pleasantries. You know what we want. : '''Rex:''' There is no way you're walking out of here with the nanites. : '''Black Knight:''' You seem so certain. : '''Rex:''' We've beaten you before. Every single time, in fact. So, this time is different... How? Okay, that's different. Ugh! You're an EVO?! : '''Black Knight:''' Do you think you were the only one they experimented on back in the day? You were the guinea pig. Consider me the new-and-improved version. : '''Rex:''' Okay. Before we go any further, I should probably explain a few things. It started when a bunch of rich guys decided they wanted to live forever, so they got the best scientists in the world to figure out how. The answer was nanites. These microscopic machines would cure disease, end hunger, and pretty much make the world a better place. My parents and older brother were on the team, and so was this guy. Look familiar? Van Kleiss. Then one day there was an accident. To save my life, my parents injected me with nanites. It worked. But there were a few crazy side effects, like the fact I could talk to machines and, later on, build some pretty cool things. That got the rich guys thinking-- How far could we take this? Turns out pretty far. These little machines could control the very fabric of the Universe, but they would need a Master-Control Nanite to program all the others and tell them what to do. Energy, gravity, time/space, elemental, mechanical-- All the things that make the Universe run. Combined together, they would pretty much make you a God. And when my brother and parents found out the Consortium was about to put these nanites inside themselves, they sort of freaked out in a "got to save the Earth" kind of way. Something had to be done to stop it. Turns out that meant blowing the whole thing up, better known as "The Nanite Event". That didn't end well for my parents. While everyone else ran away, my parents were trapped inside. Sill not sure how. There was some good news-- No more Master-Control Nanites. And the bad news? Dangerous unprogrammed nanites got spread across the world, and nanites plus DNA equals EVO. My brother Caesar got caught in a time warp during his escape. Van Kleiss got blown to smithereens and became the world's biggest pain in the nanite. And me? I got amnesia and traveled the globe living the good life... At least, that's how I tell it. The only part I know of wasn't all that much to brag about. I did get some good friends and a few enemies out of the deal. Turns out that losing my memory was a regular thing for me. Last time I woke up and said, "Who Am I?" It was when this guy found me-- Agent Six. He worked for Providence, sort of a global police force created to clean up after the event. It was paid for mostly by the same group of goons that started the whole thing-- The Consortium. It was great for a while. I had my own personal doctor, a chimp sidekick, a cool best friend to hang with. I was a full-fledged hero. The world loved me, and my powers kept getting better and better. Van Kleiss was still a pain, but I managed to take care of him. A few times, actually. Then things started to get not so cool. My brother shows up from out of nowhere. I get thrown six months into the future to find White Knight kicked out of Providence and this lady in charge-- Black Knight. She's been the lapdog of the Consortium from day one, and now her bosses want to pick up where they left off. Most of the old team of scientists have been reunited, and together, they've restarted the nanite program. The Master-Control Nanites were spread across the globe in the first explosion, and we've been racing against Providence to get them back. So far, we've been winning that fight, and that pretty much brings us to right now. : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' The Black Pawns are robots?! : '''Black Knight:''' Total obedience at the flip of a switch. Can you blame me? : '''Black Pawn:''' What's so funny? : '''Six:''' I hold back against people. You're not people. : ''[Bobo Haha grunts]'' : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Black Knight grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' Huh? Ugh! : '''Feakins:''' Hey! Hey! Take it easy, would you? Oh! : '''Rex:''' Fitzy?! : '''Feakins:''' Heh? Sorry, guy. They found me. She's hard to say "No" to... and live. : '''Black Knight:''' Well put, Mr. Feakins. And thanks to his unique ability, we can set aside our nanite enhancements and do this the old-fashioned way. : '''Rex:''' Come on. That's not fair. I'm unarmed! : '''Black Knight:''' Precisely. : '''Van Kleiss:''' Stop! Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea. : '''Rex:''' Listen to the crazy guy. : '''Black Knight:''' Why are you here, Van Kleiss? : '''Van Kleiss:''' I forgot. Oh, no, wait. I remember. He's got a Master-Control Nanite swallowed up inside him. It's been hiding, the naughty thing. : '''Rex:''' On second thought, don't listen to him. He's, uh-- He's crazy, remember? : '''Black Knight:''' You're sure of this? : '''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, yes, yes. Quite sure. Do you have any mints? : '''Black Knight:''' I want Rex at the lab. Restrain and sedate him. : '''Rex:''' How, hold on a minute. : '''Feakins:''' Hey! What about me? : '''Black Knight:''' I'm not taking any chances. He stays with Rex. Kill the others. : '''Rex:''' Ugh! Ahh. : '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Human. : '''Rex:''' What are you telling me? What do you want? : '''Master-Control Nanite:''' Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. Complete. : '''Rex:''' Okay, I get it. How? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex gasps]'' : '''Caesar:''' Calm down, Rex. You're safe. : '''Rex:''' Safe?! Black Knight and her robo-troopers just came knocking, and Van crazy says I have a Master-Control Nanite inside me! : '''Caesar:''' Fascinating, isn't it? All this time, it's been hiding undetected inside you. I wonder if this particular control unit is responsible for his unique nano-evolution. : '''Rex:''' Are any of you even listening to me? : '''Feakins:''' Boy, I am. It's like a movie but real! I just want to go start pressing buttons. Can I get another milkshake? : '''Dr. Meechum:''' How exactly do you plan on getting it out of him? : '''Black Knight:''' I have a suggestion. Tear it out. : '''Rylander:''' It would kill him. : '''Black Knight:''' That's none of my concern. : '''Caesar:''' The nanite is tied to his DNA. Simply pulling it out of him would ruin the nanite. : '''Rex:''' And me, too, remember? : '''Caesar:''' The only way this will work is if we put him in the cyclotron with the other Metas. It should extract automatically during the reassembly. : '''Black Knight:''' And if it doesn't? : '''Caesar:''' Hmm. Good question. : '''Rex:''' Here's another one-- Don't I get a say in this? Like, isn't this the exact thing that our parents died trying to stop? : '''Black Knight:''' Take him to the hub and prepare for the transfer. The Consortium is here and extremely impatient. I want this finished within the hour. : '''Feakins:''' Aah! Hey, what am I-- Sandpaper? Not so rough! ''[sputtering]'' Rough. : '''Rex:''' Glad someone can see the humor in this. : '''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, see that Rex is well taken care of. : '''Dr. Meechum:''' ''[to Caesar]'' I hope you know what you're doing, Salazar. This is a huge risk we're taking. : '''Rylander:''' Listen to Peter. The thing we swore to stop at any cost, the thing that took your parents-- It could happen-- Right here, today! : '''Caesar:''' It can't, and it won't. You'll have to trust me on this. : '''Rylander:''' You can only say that so many times, Caesar. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We've been waiting almost an hour. Not even refreshments? : '''Black Knight:''' You can have your snack after we become Gods. : '''Roswell:''' "We"? : '''Black Knight:''' That's right-- "We." None of this would be possible without my efforts. : '''Roswell:''' And our money, sister. : '''Black Knight:''' By all means, have your contempt. There's plenty of room buried next to the Russian if you'd like to keep him company. That's what I thought. Now, if you'll follow me-- : '''Bobo:''' "Kill the others." Not gonna happen, lady. We're bulletproof. Ow! Hangnail. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Ugh! We know where they took him. Why are we here? We need to go get Rex. : '''Six:''' I agree. We just don't have the resources, Rebecca. We'd need an army. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You've been known to make the impossible happen, Six. How hard could that be? : '''Six:''' Six here. Copy that. We just got ourselves an army. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' You see? : '''Van Kleiss:''' That will be all. : '''Feakins:''' But the lady said-- Good luck, Kid. : '''Van Kleiss:''' These restraints were made for you. You're very special, you know. : '''Rex:''' Lucky me. : '''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss... leave us. : '''Rex:''' I really hate you. : '''Caesar:'''I know how this looks, Rex. : '''Rex:''' But what? I just have to trust you? Is that what you were going to say? Just help me-- Please. : '''Caesar:''' It may not seem like it, but I am. : '''Rex:''' Caesar... I'm scared. : '''Caesar:''' So am I, little brother. This will all be over in a few minutes. : '''Rex:''' It's already over! When I get out of this, I never want to see you again! : '''Rylander:''' Commencing countdown. : '''Roswell:''' WHOO-HOO! : '''Reddick:''' Payback time! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Caesar:''' This won't be entirely unpleasant. It should feel similar to when you offload surplus nanites. : '''Rex:''' Stop! You can't do this! You can't merge! : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Something's wrong. : '''Rylander:''' Of course something's wrong. The kid is fighting it. : '''Caesar:''' This could be bad. : '''Rylander:''' You have to tell him, Caesar! : '''Caesar:''' Rex, you have to stop. Listen to me. The nanites are supposed to do-- Rex? Can you hear me? : '''Dr. Meechum:''' Actually, he can't. There's a short in the comm relay. : '''Van Kleiss:''' This would be a wonderful day for a picnic. : '''Rex:''' RA-A-A-A-A-A-H! : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Ugh! : '''Black Knight:''' Ugh! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' So much for that plan. : ''[Rex laughs]'' : '''Rex:''' Oh, serves you right. All that and you come out of the oven looking like freaks. Nice job! : '''Black Knight:''' It's not exactly what we were expecting, but it's a start. : '''Reddick:''' This isn't what we agreed to. : '''Roswell:''' Where's the rest of our power? This is all messed up! : '''Dr. Meechum:''' How can this be possible? : '''Rylander:''' The Meta-Nanites were dispersed between the five. This is quite a surprise. : '''Caesar:''' We've got to get Rex out of there. Step aside, Van Kleiss. : '''Van Kleiss:''' They still don't have what they want... and neither do you. : '''Black Knight:''' You're angry. I can see that. If you want to take it out on anyone, it should be Rex. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I think I can agree to that. : '''Roswell:''' Count me in! This might actually be fun! : '''Rex:''' Let's think about this for a second. Whoa! : ''[Rex grunts]'' : '''Rex:''' How 'bout that? Exactly one second. Whoa! Aah! : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What a perfect way to learn to use our powers-- Tearing this brat apart. : '''Rex:''' Only one problem with that, sparky. I've been using my powers a whole lot longer-- And I'm pretty good. : '''Roswell:''' You got any ideas here, missy, or we gonna stand around and get it handed to us? : '''Black Knight:''' The Meta-Nanites were designed to work together. So will we. : '''Rex:''' What? Are you gonna join together to make a robo-mutant? : '''Black Knight:''' That's exactly what we're going to do. : '''Rex:''' I need to stop giving them ideas. Huh? : ''[Rex grunts]'' : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Black Knight:''' No one the help you-- No family, no friends, nothing. It's a terrible way to go. : '''White Knight:''' Captain Calan, target the base. All weapons, sire. : '''Providence Agent:''' Fire control reports they're being jammed, sir. : '''White Knight:''' Only one salvo. Black Knight must have prepared for this. : ''[Rex groans softly]'' : '''Rex:''' Big giant robot. Black Knight. : '''Six:''' We know. : '''Rex:''' Have to... stay and stop them. : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Another time, Rex. : '''Rex:''' I-I-- : ''[Rex groans]'' : '''Dr. Holiday:''' Holiday to White Knight. We have Rex. : '''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' We're just gonna watch them go?! : '''Black Knight:''' Let Providence have their weapon back. With our combined power, the world is ours. ===Endgame, Part Two=== :'''Black Knight:''' Science has given us a tremendous gift-- Nanites. We've seen what they can do-- The good and the bad. But they're true potential has been largely unseen. Until now. Our goals are varied. Fame... power... revenge... wealth... order. Yet, one thing unites us-- Greed. You're surprised I admit it? Well, don't be. You'll never get far in life without wanting it all. And for those who might consider standing in our way... We'll let our powers speak for themselves. The world is ours. And no one can stop us. :''[Roswell laughs]'' :'''Roswell:''' This is more fun than my first rodeo. What else you got? :'''Six:''' Any change? :'''Dr. Holiday:''' He's sleeping. The nanites in him are making repairs. That's a good thing. He's a tough kid, Six. :'''Six:''' I know. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' See you next time. Judging by what you fed us for lunch, I'm guessing twenty minutes. Can't even go to the little scientists' room without them breathing down our necks. How long are we going to put up with this? :'''Caesar:''' I know it's not easy working under these circumstances. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Do you? I don't hear you complaining, or have you even noticed that we're prisoniers? :'''Rylander:''' Gentlemen, please. Can we focus on a more important problem? The Consortium's gain of power is a troubling outcome. Something should be done. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' If you're talking about stopping them, I'm listening. :'''Black Knight:''' I want you all in the boardroom in three minutes. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' The world is being taken over by nanite-fueled ex-c.e.o. Psychos, and they still act like they're running a business. :'''Roswell:''' You nerds gave us a raw deal. I want a do-over. :'''Caesar''': A do-over? :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' What my colleague means to say is that our powers are remarkable to be sure, but we only have one seventh of what we were promised. :'''Rylander:''' You're asking a lot. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You're asking the impossible. You'd be lucky to survive the extraction. :'''Caesar:''' This is true. You may be powerful, but you're not Rex. :'''Black Knight:''' I share your disappointment, gentlemen. But are you willing to lose everything for this? :'''Roswell:''' Go big or go home. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, what do you have to say? :'''Van Kleiss:''' Easy-peasy. I can do it. It's only a matter of correctly calibrating the bio-filters with the homing frequency of the nanites. By the way, have you seen my socks? :'''Caesar:''' Van Kleiss-- :'''Black Knight:''' Has an assignment. The rest of you... Stay out of trouble. :'''Rex:''' You started without me. :'''Six:''' Glad to see you up and around. Something bothering you? :'''Rex:''' Besides black knight taking over the world? I'm trying to find my friends. I know Providence took them. :'''Six:''' We're working on that. :'''Rex:''' And are we doing anything about the Consortium? What about... The robot? The one I can build. Don't play dumb, Six. :'''Six:''' Come with me. :'''Rex:''' That's me? No way! All this time, I could have been making myself into that thing? Ohh! Maybe not. :'''Six:''' Evidence suggest that you've never been able to control it. It's a weapon of last defense. This was filmed on the day that I found you. It was also the day I made a promise that it would be the last time you ever built this machine. :''[Rex scoffs]'' :'''Rex:''' Or what, you'd kill me? You plan on keeping that promise? :'''Six:''' Rex, you have to know something. We believe this is the type of thing that ends in you losing your memory. :'''Rex:''' Well, it happened to you, and you turned out just fine. :'''Six:''' I only lost six years. Six years is all you have. You would lose everything. I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but you need to think about the consequences of some of your options. :'''Noah:''' It feels weird hanging out when the world is under attack. I don't know if I should be fighting back or out in the wilderness setting up a survival compound. :'''Rex:''' If you had the power to stop all this, but it meant losing everything, would you do it, Noah? :'''Noah:''' I don't know. I'm just glad I don't have to make that kind of decision. I guess that's why you're the hero. :''[Rex sighs]'' :'''Rex:''' I wish I could get some kind of sign. Anything. Hmm. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Red and yellow, red and yellow. One false move can kill a fellow. :''[Van Kleiss laughs]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' He's got local control. We're locked out. I still don't even know how this is possible. :'''Rylander:''' I've been looking at the data projections. As crazy as Van Kleiss is, his theory is sound. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Sorry to disturb your sleepy sleep. There might be a slight delay. :'''Black Knight:''' Why? :'''Van Kleiss:''' We have a visitor. Should I set out tea? :'''Rex:''' Hey, in there! Come on out! :'''Black Knight:''' Back for more? Happy to accommodate. :'''Rex:''' I should warn you. It's going to get ugly. :'''Black Knight:''' One would think you would have learned the last time. I can feel you resisting me. Stop. :'''Roswell:''' Why is it you get to call all the shots? :'''Black Knight:''' Because I'm the one who has the power to join us. Help me defeat Rex, and you can call all the shots you like. :'''Rex:''' Hyah! :''[Rex babbling]'' :''[Rex gasps]'' :'''Six:''' It's a weapon of last defense. It's happened. :'''Noah:''' That's Rex? :'''White Knight:''' I'm going to assume you're seeing what I'm seeing. :'''Six:''' White-- :'''White Knight:''' Before you say anything, Six-- Whatever agreement we may have had regarding this situation no longer applies. Am I clear? :'''Six:''' Understood. :'''Dr. Holiday''': What was that all about? :'''Six:''' A second chance. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Six, we have to do something. :'''Six:''' I've seen it before. We're too late. :''[Rex coughing]'' :'''Rex:''' Donde esta mi zapato? :'''Noah:''' Rex! Hold on! :'''Rex:''' What? What happened? :'''Bobo:''' You blew up, kid. :'''Six:''' Do you know who we are? :'''Rex:''' I... I do! Oh-ho! I remember! Ow! Ow! I wish I could forget this pain in my... The Consortium! :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' This is utter nonsense. I refuse to be led around like a show dog. :'''Reddick:''' You can always go back outside and take it up with Providence. :'''Black Knight:''' Guard the door. Nothing gets by you. :'''Six:''' They're robots. :'''Rex:''' Oh! Right! That part I forgot. :'''Bobo:''' Next time, leave some for the rest of us, huh? :'''Rylander:''' I'll stay here and guard the equipment. :''[Rylander laughs]'' :'''Caesar:''' Little brother, they've had this place completely locked down. I've been trying to reach you. :'''Bobo:''' What he said. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Yeah, you deserved that. :'''Rex:''' Open it. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' We can't. Still completely locked out of the system. Besides, you can't interrupt once the cycle has started. :'''Rex:''' Well, then, un-start it! :'''Black Knight:''' You cleaned up for the occasion. How thoughtful of you. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Oh, this isn't for you. You didn't actually believe that I'd let the five of you have all this power. :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' I thought you were working for us? :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Rex:''' You see that? I knew it! He's not crazy! Okay... oh! He's crazy, but just his usual crazy. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, I am not amused. :'''Van Kleiss:''' I don't imagine you would be. This was always my intention, even in the very beginning. It's a pity your parents caught me trying to activate the sequence for myself. And, of course, there's the "broken" hatch. The world would be a much better place if they had just left well enough alone. :'''Anthony Haden-Scott:''' Black Knight, do something. :'''Black Knight:''' Van Kleiss, you have made a huge mistake. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Now, then, let the fun begin. :''[Black Knight groans]'' :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You can't overload that relay from a subdirectory. You have to get a root. It's impossible from here. :'''Caesar:''' You're a very negative person, Peter Meechum. :''[Dr. Meechum groans]'' :'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'll try from the main terminal in the lab. :''[Rex grunts]'' :'''Caesar:''' Rex, wait! That's not necessary. :'''Rex:''' I'm not waiting around, hermano. :'''Caesar:''' No. That's not what I mean. :'''Van Kleiss:''' Yes. I can see it. :''[Van Kleiss laughs evilly]'' :'''Van Kleiss:''' Huh? No. :''[Van Kleiss groans]'' :'''Dr. Holiday:''' It's incredible something so small could have so much [[w:Omnipotence|power]]. That thing could rip apart the very fabric of the universe. :'''Rex:''' It's still a nanite. I'm gonna talk to it. :'''Caesar:''' No. It's okay. :''[The fully complete Meta Nanite comes to Rex, as if it were waiting for him, whose eyes and body glow with a pale blue cosmic aura.]'' :'''Caesar:''' Rex, listen to me. The Meta-Nanite-- It could never work in anyone but you. Now in its pure state. Mom and dad, we programmed them that way from the very beginning. All of this... It's meant for you. :'''Six:''' What are you saying? :'''Caesar:''' Right now, Rex is [[Omnipotence|the most powerful being in the universe]]. :'''Bobo:''' You hear that, Kid? Don't let it get to your head. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' Rex, can you hear me? :'''Rex:''' Yeah, doc. This is pretty trippy. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do now. :'''Black Knight:''' You're a [[God]], Rex. You can do anything you want. :'''Six:''' You know what to do. :'''Rex:''' You're right, Six. So are the rest of you. I can do anything I want. Maybe it's time for a revolution. Isn't that what you five wanted? A revolution? Well, welcome to it. :'''Noah:''' Is he gonna be like this from now on? :'''Rylander:''' Uh... People. He's inside the nanite reactor. :'''Dr. Holiday and Caesar:''' Inside? :'''Rex:''' Okay, little guys. I need you to do something for me. :'''Black Knight:''' Follow me, quickly. :'''Reddick:''' I'm through following you. We trusted you everything, and look what we got. :'''Black Knight:''' We may still be able to retain some of our abilities, but only if you follow me. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' Are you seeing this? :'''Rylander:''' Tehnically, I don't have eyes, but yes. :'''Providence Agent:''' Reports are coming in. EVO's all over the world are spontaneously curing. :'''Six:''' Not spontaneous. :'''Caesar:''' He must have programmed all the nanites in the reactor to initiate a worldwide cure event. :'''Black Knight:''' What is your next directive? :'''Rex:''' I don't want anyone using you again. Ever. And that includes me. Deactivate. :''[Rex groans]'' :'''Rex:''' I think it's over. :'''Dr. Holiday:''' I think you're right. :'''Caesar:''' I wanted to tell you, brother.

Are you...? :'''Circe:''' I'm okay. Normal, but okay. I think you may have put yourself out of a job. :'''Skywdd:''' Yeah. What are you gonna do? Go to school? :'''Rylander:''' It was nice having the team back together. You know, we should find a new project. :'''Dr. Meechum:''' You kidding? I'd rather have root canal with a rake. Worst experience of my life. :'''Caesar:''' Do you want to hear about some of my new ideas or not? :'''Dr. Meechum:''' I'm listening. :'''Rex:''' Finally. :'''Six:''' Need anything? :'''Rex:''' Nope.

Angelina has to stay after school and she's in the classroom. That afternoon --after school-- Ms. Mimi has asked Angelina to stay after school for after school detention because Angelina was talking in class. Ms. Mimi is disciplining Angelina. In other words: "The scene cuts to where Ms. Mimi is issuing Angelina with her after school detention". Angelina is seen in Ms. Mimi's classroom. She was making noises like the drum after being asked for quiet. So it cuts to where Angelina is in after school detention. She --sitting on a time-out chair-- is facing Ms. Mimi in front of her desk. Before assigning Angelina after school detention after school, Ms. Mimi talks to Angelina.]'' :'''Ms. Mimi''': ''[to Angelina]'' So, when I asked for quiet, Angelina...! :''[Ms. Mimi then expects answers from Angelina.]'' :'''Ms. Mimi''': ...I really do expect to get it! I am surprised! :'''Angelina''': ''[apologizing to Ms. Mimi for talking in class]'' I am sorry, Ms. Mimi. :''[It is true that Angelina has apologized for her unruly behavior in class. And she does promise it will never happen again. But even though Angelina apologizes --for her unruly behavior which was talking and Ms. Mimi asked for quiet but she did not listen-- she knows that sometimes an apology/promise does not cut it. Her behavior was still not okay. Really, she's still in trouble. Because in reality, if one apologizes and/or makes a promise --which is a promise to not do it again-- sometimes it does not allow them to get away with being punished. Sometimes it doesn't and therefore, they still have to pay the consequence. There are appropriate/common/natural/local consequences for actions. That means they --one and in this case Angelina too-- must be accountable for their actions. In this case --like for Angelina who talked in class-- she has to pay the consequence. She is ordered to stay after school and see Ms. Mimi to do after school detention. Possibly for a whole week and no drum day on said day. So --as a result-- Angelina is --in fact-- still in trouble. She still did something in class that she was not supposed to do. It was on purpose. Not only on purpose, but also a big no-no. So her "apology" does not work and she's still considered a wrongdoer --according to Ms. Mimi-- and must be punished or disciplined. Additionally, she --by extension-- is also held responsible for talking and disrupting in class. Although her after school detention was not seen, she still was assigned it by Ms. Mimi for being disruptive even though Ms. Mimi asked for quiet. Now Angelina has it for a whole week and she gets no drum day the next day or in other words, "not this year". From this point, Angelina's "after school detention week" with Ms. Mimi --after school-- starts, and starting today. So until her "after school detention week" is over, there is no drum day nor any after school activities for Angelina. Because she is in after school detention with Ms. Mimi. We may be sorry, and we may make an apology/promise. But we are still considered a wrongdoer. An apology/promise alone does not erase the action you --and in this case Angelina-- did. In the meantime, Angelina is in trouble, she gets a week of after school detention, and she gets no drum day this year. Her turn for the drums --on drum day-- is dismissed.]'' ===Angelina and Super Polly / Angelina's Dance Like a Cake Day [1.10]=== ==Series 2 (Nov. 14, 2009-Jan. 16, 2010)== ===Angelina's Sleepover / Angelina's Noisy, Messy Lunchtime [2.1]=== :''[Angelina tries to talk her mom into letting her and Gracie and Vicki have a sleepover.

And beyond that, the "Big Dream" includes boarding school, college, group home after college, marriage, and eventually having own mouselings of Angelina's own. That is, and not just boarding school.

Welcome to the inaugural running of the World Grand Prix. I'm Brent Mustangburger, here with racing legends Darrell Cartrip and David Hobbscap. There's never been a competition like this before. First, Allinol, making its debut tonight as the required fuel for all these great champions. Second, the course itself, and it's like nothing we've ever seen before. David, how exactly does this competition work? :'''David Hobbscap:''' Well Brent, all three of these street courses are classic round-the-house racetracks. ''[the camera shows the labeled in Japan, Italy and England]'' This means that the LMP and Formula cars should break out of the gate in spectacular fashion. Look for Francesco Bernoulli in particular to lead early. And with a series of technical turns throughout GT and Touring cars like Spain's Miguel Camino should make up some ground but I doubt it'll be enough to stop Francesco from absolutely running away with it. :'''Darrell Cartrip:''' Whoa, now just hold your horsepower.

You're the bomb. :'''Mater:''' ''[starts to feel better]'' Thanks, buddy. :'''Lightning McQueen:''' No, no, no, you're the ''actual'' bomb! Now let's go! :'''Mater:''' Oh, right! Hang on!

It's ''him!'' ''[points to Miles]'' :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' ''What? Me?'' You've got to be crazy. :'''Mater''': I figured it out when I realized y'all attached this tickin' time bomb with Whitworth bolts, the same bolts that hold together that old British engine from the photograph. Holley, show that picture! :'''Holley Shiftwell:''' Okay. ''[shows the holographic photo of the mysterious hood engine]'' :'''Mater''': And then ''I'' remembered what they said about old British engines: "If there ain't no oil under 'em, there ain't no oil (over) in 'em". :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' What is he talking about? :'''Mater''': It was you leaking oil at the party in Japan. ''You'' just blamed it on me. :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' Electric cars don't use oil, you twit! :'''Mater''': Then ''you're'' fakin' it. ''You'' didn't convert to no electric. ''[Miles realizes that he knows the truth, then backs away]'' When we pop that hood, we gonna see that engine from that picture right there. :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' ''[panicking]'' This lorry's crazy! ''He's'' gonna kill us all! ''[backs up to the edge of the stage]'' '''''Stay away!''''' :'''Holley Shiftwell:''' But Sir Axlerod created the race, Mater.

What are you talking about? You're nuts, you are! :'''Prince William:''' This Is Going Nowhere Fast, We Really Should Go Grandmother. :'''The Queen:''' One Moment, I'd Like To See Where This Is Going. :''[The bomb's countdown is at 29 seconds]'' :'''Finn McMissile''': Mater, ''he'' created Allinol. :'''Mater''': Yeah, but what if ''he'' found that huge oil field just as the world was tryna find somethin' else? What if ''he'' came up with Allinol just to make alternative fuel look bad? :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' ''[as the bomb's countdown goes from 19 to 18 seconds]'' "What if"? You're basing this on a ''"what if"?!'' :'''Security Guard:''' Okay, that's it. :'''Another Security Guard:''' Right, lads, clear out! ''[the other guards evacuate, followed by the Queen and the spectators]'' :'''Sir Miles Axlerod:''' Wait, somebody save me! The lorry's crazy!

So, why didn't I... :'''Mater''': ''[finishing Lightning's question]'' Explode in a fiery inferno? :'''Lightning McQueen''': Yeah. :'''Finn McMissile''': We couldn't figure that out, either. :'''Holley Shiftwell''': Our investigation proved that Allinol was actually gasoline and Axlerod engineered it so when It got hit by the beam it would explode. :'''Lightning McQueen''': Wait a second, Fillmore; You said my fuel was safe. :''[Everyone turns and curiously looks at Fillmore]'' :'''Fillmore''': If you're implying that I switched out that rot-gut excuse for alternative fuel with my all-natural, sustainable, organic biofuel just because I never trusted Axlerod, you're dead wrong, man; It was ''him.''

First, Allinol, making its debut tonight as the required fuel for all these great champions. Second, the course itself, and it's like nothing we've ever seen before. David, how exactly does this competition work? :'''David Hobbscap:''' Well Brent, all three of these street courses are classic round-the-house racetracks. ''[the camera shows the labeled in Japan, Italy and England]'' This means that the LMP and Formula cars should break out of the gate in spectacular fashion. Look for Francesco Bernoulli in particular to lead early. And with a series of technical turns throughout GT and Touring cars like Spain's Miguel Camino should make up some ground but I doubt it'll be enough to stop Francesco from absolutely running away with it. :'''Darrell Cartrip:''' Whoa, now just hold your horsepower.

Now Custard... ''[She puts the cups down]'' That's not something to play with. ''[She boops Custard's nose while giggling; sees a shadow]'' Oh! ''[Mr. Longface Caterpillar walks in]'' Hi, Mr. Longface Caterpillar! :'''Mr. Longface''': I didn't mean to startle you, Miss Shortcake. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Lemon Meringue''': So, how is someone as bitty as us suppose to move something as big as that? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': We'll think of a way. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': I hope so, because without water, the berries will die. :'''Berrykin Princess''': No water, no berries; no berries, no juice; no juice, no city; and no city, no use. :'''Plum Pudding''': No kidding. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I'm sorry I brought you all this way for nothing. We better turn back. :'''Mr. Longface''': Chin up! You tried your best. There's really no shame in turning home. :'''Lemon Meringue''': But what home? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Plum, crying is nothing to be ashamed of. :'''Plum Pudding''': I know I joke all the time, but the truth is, I love Berry Bitty City. It's my home. Another home won't be the same. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Plum, that's all you had to say. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Plum Pudding''': But all the gold! :'''Mr. Longface''': It's just fool's gold, I'm afraid. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': It's a mineral called iron pyrite. It sparkles like gold. That's why it's called "fool's gold". :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': So we're the fools? <hr width="50%" /> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': There isn't time. They've already left. The strawberries need to be replanted. They are not going to turn around and come back here to take a risk on another wild scheme. :'''Orange Blossom''': They will if you ask them. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Me? Why would they listen to me? :'''Raspberry Torte''': Because you have a serious talent. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Cooking? :'''Raspberry Torte''': No, helping people believe they can do anything. == Season 1 == === ''Fish Out Of Water'' [1.1] === :'''Orange Blossom''': Oh Todd, I'm so sorry. Where did I go wrong? I've tried to give him everything a fish needs. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I know you have. :'''Orange Blossom''': Everything a fish could want. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I know you did. :'''Orange Blossom''': Everything a fish— :'''Blueberry Muffin''': He's not a fish. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But it might be best to take him back to the stream, huh? :'''Orange Blossom''': What? I can't do that. I promised to take care of him. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But that's when you thought he was a fish. It's just that, well, isn't a frog more than you bargained for? :'''Orange Blossom''': I am not going to turn my back on him just because he switched species. He, Tad, can't help it if he's a frog. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Oh, no. Tad, doing his night croaking. :'''Lemon Meringue''': How can we do our night sleeping? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Maybe the croaking is just a stage, and he'll grow out of it. :'''Plum Pudding''': That'll probably be the only thing he doesn't grow out of. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orange Blossom''': Strawberry! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Orange, What's the matter? :'''Orange Blossom''': It's Tad! He's He's gone! ''[sobbing]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[gasps]'' Now don't worry! everyone's out looking, I'm sure the berrykins will find him any minute now. He couldn't have gone very far! :'''Orange Blossom''': I did everything I could for him, I kept him cool when he was hot, warm when he was cold raised him, sheltered him, no frog has ever been so loved and now he ran away! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Orange, everyone knows you to be so kind and considerate, but I think maybe you've been trying to be so kind and considerate to Tad that you've forgotten about everyone else. :'''Orange Blossom''': But you guys are my friends. My very best friends. I could never forget you. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': What I mean is, Tad has caused a bit of trouble, and— :'''Orange Blossom''': But he doesn't know any better. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Exactly. I think being responsible for a pet means taking responsibility for any trouble he causes, because the pet really doesn't know any better. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I know it's been difficult. But I know if it meant doing the right thing for Tad, you could do something even more difficult. :'''Orange Blossom''': Of course! I'd do anything for Tad. What is it, that's more difficult than all the things I've done so far? I mean, those were big things. What's bigger than that? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Letting him go. :'''Orange Blossom''': Oh Strawberry... :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Sometimes the berry biggest things we have to do are the things we can't even see. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orange Blossom''': He didn't even say goodbye. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But did you see how happy he was? :'''Orange Blossom''': Yeah, you're right. He wasn't just happy, he was the happiest I've ever seen him! Oh, and that makes me happy too! === ''A Stitch in Time'' [1.2] === :'''Plum Pudding''': Hi, guys! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Hi, Plum Pudding! :'''Plum Pudding''': Where are you off to, Strawberry? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': On a camp out. I'm trying to write a poem about wishing on a shooting star, and Mr. Longface says to write about something, you should experience it. :'''Plum Pudding''': Ah yes. Just like when I dance. One has to feel it from within. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Uh, yeah. :'''Plum Pudding''': Think it might be a little cold tonight for a camp out? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Well, if this will make me a better writer, it's worth it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': And how many nights have you girls been fashion sprites? :'''Plum Pudding''': Elves. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Hi all! Tea? Muffins? I know: smoothies! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': But— :'''Lemon Meringue''': I thought— :'''Orange Blossom''': You said we'd be meeting in private. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': No, I didn't. I'm sorry girls, but I just don't feel comfortable taking secret meetings. I have a feeling this is something that we need to get out in the open. I mean, none of you would like the idea of something being done behind your back, would you? :'''Plum Pudding''': But it was only— :'''Lemon Meringue''': We didn't mean to, Strawberry! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': We were just trying to— :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It's okay, it's okay. I know you wanted to help Raspberry, which is very sweet. I just think being secret fashion elves might not be the best way. === ''Vanishing Violets'' [1.3] === :'''Plum Pudding''': Pupcake's the thief? ''[sighs]'' It's always the cute ones. :'''Lemon Meringue''': Funny. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orange Blossom''': Well, at least it wasn't another flower heist. :'''Plum Pudding''': Next year, let's have ceramics festival instead. :'''Lemon Meringue''': Guys, I'm telling you, it's like something was under the ground. Things were going up and going down and sideways and forwards and shaking, it was like the end of the world! :'''Raspberry Torte''': The end of the world!? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Not the end of the world. :'''Plum Pudding''': Close to the end of the world? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': No. :'''Plum Pudding''': The day before the end of the world? When it's getting into the part where all life as we know it ceases to— :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Plum! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lemon Meringue''': A mon... a mon... a m-mon... :'''Plum Pudding''': Monster? :'''Lemon Meringue''': Uh-huh. :'''Plum Pudding''': Ugh, why did you have to say that? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Well, Lemon, your violets are sure first prize with somebody. :'''Lemon Meringue''': ''[giggles]'' Just my luck it's a gopher. === ''Babysitter Blues'' [1.4] === :'''Lemon Meringue''': Easy. Easy. Slow. Slow! :'''Raspberry Torte''': Shh, Lemon. You'll make her nervous! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Don't worry, I'm already nervous. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Baby Berrykin''': Thank you, Strawberry. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': You're welcome. You're the first to try my Rainbow Smoothie. Now that the right colors match the flavors again, I could finish it. :'''Baby Berrykin''': Hmm! Pretty and tasty! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Aww, thank you! I'm glad you like it. Oh, that's very pretty! :'''Baby Berrykin''': Thank you, Strawberry. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, the color I want... Well, it's not here. ''[Gasps]'' I know! Say, can you make this crayon a color that's a little bit more like this one? :'''Baby Berrykin''': Uh-uh. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Why not? :'''Baby Berrykin''': Using berry sparkles to change colors is bad. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, baby Berrykin, your sparkles aren't bad, they're beautiful. It's wonderful. :'''Baby Berrykin''': It is? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Yes, it is. All you need to do is think before you do it. Think how will it make other people feel. :'''Baby Berrykin''': Strawberry? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Yes? :'''Baby Berrykin''': What if I don't know? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Well, then you ask them. :'''Baby Berrykin''': Is it okay? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Very okay! Oh, pretty! Thank you, baby Berrykin. :'''Baby Berrykin''': You're welcome, Strawberry. === ''Hair Today Gone Tomorrow'' [1.5] === :'''Lemon Meringue''': I know, and I appreciate what you're trying to do. Please, girls, I'm gonna miss the bus. :'''Orange Blossom''': Good! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': What's happening? :'''Raspberry Torte''': Strawberry! :'''Plum Pudding''': She's moving! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Please stop her, Strawberry! :'''Orange Blossom''': Don't let her leave! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Lemon! you're leaving? :'''Lemon Meringue''': Oh, Strawberry, I just feel there's no need for me to stay in Berry Bitty City. Not unless I can do something useful. Something that everyone needs. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I'll tell you what we need. Someone to take care of the complaints about this machine. :'''Lemon Meringue''': What complaints? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, where do I begin? One, the machine is lousy at conversation and boy is it useless at giving advice. Two, it doesn't tell you how nice you look or offer any fashion hints. Three, it won't laugh at any of our jokes. Four, it doesn't fit in a sleeping bag for sleepovers, and it won't even respond when you send it an invitation! How rude. Five, it doesn't have a shoulder to cry on. And six, and this is by far the worst, it never hugs. We love you for who you are as a person and friend, Lemon, and that machine can never be any of those things. === ''Pop Goes the Garden'' [1.6] === :'''Blueberry Muffin''': What we need is a latter. Too bad all we have is an ear of corn. Wait, what did you say? Improvise. ''[realizes what Strawberry said and gasps]'' That's it! HEY! :'''Strawberry Shortcake and Blueberry Muffin''': AN EAR OF CORN LADDER! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[excitedly]'' Yeah!!! ''[They giggle]'' === ''The Berry Best You Can Bee'' [1.7] === :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': What a day! But everything got delivered. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I'm sorry to say, not everything. I'm very sorry. I tried, I got as far as the bridge, but it was out. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Yeah I'd heard about it after you'd gone. Too late to stop you, I'm afraid. It's quite a thing you did, getting that far. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But I didn't deliver the package. The mail didn't get through. Oh, and I promised it would. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Actually, you promised to do the very best that you could, and you did that. You see, there are times when things happen that are out of our control. The only thing we can do is the best we can. I'll call the post office in Big Bitty City, see if we can bring in some help. Maybe take the back road through Oak Tree Meadows and get to Acorn Acres that way. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Will they get here in time? :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Well, we can only do our berry best. === ''Strawberry's House Pest'' [1.8] === === ''Berry Bitty World Record'' [1.9] === === ''Too Cool For Rules'' [1.10] === === ''Berry Best BerryFest Princess'' [1.11] === :'''Mr. Longface''': The first challenge! The Berryfest princess judges the flower contest at the festival. Let's see who knows their flowers. You may proceed. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Ah that's easy. A rose by any other name would still smell as rosy. :'''Mr. Longface''': That is correct. :'''Kadiebug''': Oh, thory. I think I have a double begonia. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Don't you mean double pneumonia, Kadiebug? :'''Mr. Longface''': No, no, no. Kadiebug was right the first time. It is a begonia. :'''Orange Blossom''': The flower is a daisy. ''[sniffs]'' And you had... ''[sniffs]'' three slices of cantaloupe at lunch. :'''Mr. Longface''': you are right! On both counts... :'''Plum Pudding''': What do you call a flower that grows in between your nose and your chin? Tulips! Get it? Two lips. :'''Mr. Longface''': Good answer, and a lackluster joke. :'''Plum Pudding''': Lackluster? What does that mean? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': He means not so good. :'''Plum Pudding''': ''[scoffs]'' I thought it was a fabulous joke. Well, everyone has different tastes, I guess. :'''Mr. Longface''': Oh, I'm sorry, you ate your flower and you are disqualified. :'''Sadiebug''': I couldn't help it. I was hungry. :'''Lemon Meringue''': I think she ate a honeysuckle. :'''Mr. Longface''': That is correct! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': That is a zinnia, a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of family Asteraceae. :'''Mr. Longface''': Hmm, I suppose you are correct. It's a zinnia, at least. :'''Raspberry Torte''': Oh boy, I just don't know. :'''Mr. Longface''': Oh, terribly sorry. It was a daffodil. :'''Raspberry Torte''': Oh shucks, no wonder I missed it. Daffodils aren't in fashion this season. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, that's not what I wanna say. Or that. No, I can do better than that. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Hello, Strawberry. Having trouble writing your election speech? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Ah, not my speech. My resignation letter. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Resignation? You're dropping out of the election? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Yes, I don't want to run for Berryfest princess anymore. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': But why not? It's a great honor, you know. And we really need a Berryfest princess. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I know, but the election is causing too much trouble. Everyone has to make a choice between Orange and me, and it doesn't seem right. We've always been about friends and togetherness, but now everyone in town is forced to pick one or the other, and some don't know who to vote for and are unhappy. So... So, I think it's best if I drop out of the race. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': I'm not sure you're seeing why people should have a choice of who to vote for. You think it's, "if you vote for me, you like me, and if you vote for her, you like her", but it's not really about that. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It sure feels that way. :'''Postmaster Bumblebee''': Voting shouldn't be about who anyone likes, but the choice they're offering. And it's good to have different choices in things. A choice in what you want to eat for lunch, or— or what to wear, or anything. And you know that just because the people of Berry Bitty City might not agree on who to vote for, they can still get along. You and your friends have different opinions, yet you all get along, isn't that right? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': We do! Well, most of the time. Too bad my own campaign managers don't. ''[giggles]'' === ''Strawberry's Berry Big Parade'' [1.12] === :'''Blueberry Muffin''': ''[gasps]'' Do I wanna know? :'''Plum Pudding''': ''[still hopping]'' Come on in, Blueberry! We're trying out my parade dance! What do you think? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Well, it certainly looks hoppy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Plum Pudding''': ''[starts feeling terrible about how rude she was as she sniffles]'' No wonder she took off. If I was her, I'd quit too. :'''Orange Blossom''': ''[voice breaking]'' I was so selfish. She kept asking us to help each other, and instead we were just... rude to each other. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': ''[voice breaking]'' I was mean. :'''Raspberry Torte''': ''[crying]'' And she only asked us to do... one little thing. :'''Lemon Meringue''': ''[crying]'' And I messed it up with my rhinestones. :'''Raspberry Torte''': ''[crying and sniffling]'' No, no... It was all me with my silly glitter trying to have the best wing. Why didn't we just help each other out like she asked? ''[she hugs her best friend]'' :''[The other girls feel terrible about how rude they were as well and Plum Pudding starts crying]'' :'''Orange Blossom''': Here, please take my hankie. :'''Plum Pudding''': ''[She takes it and blows her nose]'' Thank you. :'''Lemon Meringue''': We're all to blame. And after Strawberry worked so hard... :'''Blueberry Muffin''': ''[crying]'' What a great leader... :'''Raspberry Torte''': ''[sniffling]'' Never complained. :'''Orange Blossom''': Always polite. :'''Plum Pudding''': Heart and gold. And she cared so much about us having fun. :'''Lemon Meringue''': ''[through tears]'' And now, she left us! :''[The girls cry and hug as they forgive each other for how they acted earlier until when Strawberry calls them]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Can someone help me down? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': ''[still crying]'' I can still hear her pleading voice in my memory. ''[sobs]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Please? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': ''[stops crying]'' Wait! That voice is real. :''[All the girls stops crying]'' === ''The Berry Best Choice'' [1.13] === === ''Nothing to Fear But Berries Themselves'' [1.14] === :'''Orange Blossom''': On the count of three. One, two... :'''Blueberry Muffin''': On three, or after you say three? :'''Raspberry Torte''': You know, I was wondering the same thing. :'''Lemon Meringue''': Me too! I'd hate for you to run out on three and I was left waiting here for you to say three. :'''Plum Pudding''': Maybe we could go out on four. Four is a good number. :'''Orange Blossom''': Okay. Four! === ''Where Oh Where Has My Blueberry Gone?'' [1.15] === :'''Blueberry Muffin''': This missing person, they haven't been seen recently? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': You might say that. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Aha! I knew it! Now, what is their favorite color? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Favorite color? Uhh... Blue! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': If it was Wednesday— :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It is Wednesday. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Where might I find this person on a Wednesday? I mean, if they weren't missing. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Uh... At the cafe. At book club. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Say no more. Your missing person is as good as found! === ''Manners Meltdown'' [1.16] === === ''Trading Sizes'' [1.17] === === ''Different Waltz for Different Faults'' [1.18] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, Plum. I think the important thing is that we have a good time, and do our best. :'''Plum Pudding''': That's what I'm talking about! Our best! Our ''perfectest''! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Uh, "perfectest" is not a real word. But you might say "our perfect best". :'''Plum Pudding''': Well, that's what I ''am'' saying then. Our perfect best. We will win. This year, we dance perfect. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Perfectly. :'''Plum Pudding''': Perfectly. Thank you, Blueberry. I'm glad you all agree. This is gonna be our year. The year Berry Bitty City takes the dance-off prize. :'''Lemon Meringue''': But we can't dance that perfect…ly, Plum. :'''Plum Pudding''': Oh, we will. Just watch me. Music, please. === ''Happy First Frost'' [1.19] === :'''Lemon Meringue''': Why, it's just the biggest day ever! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Actually, astronomically speaking, it's one of the smallest days. In that it's one of the shortest days due to the Sun rising late and setting early. ''[beat]'' Uh, being winter and all ''[sighs]'' as you were saying. === ''A Circle of Friends'' [1.20] === === ''GlimmerBerry Ball'' [1.21] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Careful, Pupcake! More apple cider, anyone? :'''Plum Pudding''': Ooh yes, please, Strawberry. What's your secret? It's so good! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Easy, Plum. You just warm up some apple cider with a little orange rind... :'''Orange Blossom''': Mmm, orange. My favorite! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': A tiny smidgen of lemon juice... :'''Lemon Meringue''': Mmm, my favorite! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': A bit of cinnamon, and my secret ingredient. :'''Plum Pudding''': What's that? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Warm wishes! I imagine my friends enjoying it and somehow it just comes out better. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lemon Meringue''': That was the best ball ever! :'''Blueberry Muffin''': I can't remember a better one. :'''Plum Pudding''': I think I enjoyed helping out the chipmunks a lot more than just throwing our usual Glimmerberry Ball. :'''Raspberry Torte''': Me too! It made it much more special. :'''Plum Pudding''': It's like Strawberry's secret cider ingredient. :'''Lemon Meringue''': Warm wishes? :'''Plum Pudding''': Yes, the party was special because I kept imagining how much the chipmunks are going to enjoy their nice home and all the snacks for their hibernation. :'''Orange Blossom''': So, do you think they enjoyed the party? :''[The chipmunks are snoring and cooing]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I think that says it all. :'''Plum Pudding''': Sweet dreams. See you in the spring. === ''Nice as Nails'' [1.22] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': And then, when we're done, you can go by the other girls' places and ask them if everything is ok. :'''Lemon Meringue''': Ask them? Oh. Oh my, no, I couldn't do that. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I know it's scary sometimes to ask difficult questions, but wouldn't you rather know the truth than imagine bad things? :'''Lemon Meringue''': But what if the truth is something just terrible? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Could it be more terrible than what you're already afraid of? "Maybe they don't like me anymore"? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Orange Blossom''': How did you get rid of it? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': We tried everything :'''Plum Pudding''': Soap and water, ketchup and peanut butter... :'''Blueberry, Orange, Plum & Raspberry''': How'd you do it!? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I just told Lemon how I felt, and she removed it. :'''Blueberry Muffin''': You told her? :'''Raspberry Torte''': Bu—bu—but... :'''Orange Blossom''': Is she all right? :'''Plum Pudding''': Did it break her heart? :'''Blueberry Muffin''': Oh Strawberry, how could you? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I just figured that part of being a good friend is having the courage to give constructive criticism. You know, telling them the truth about something so they can do better the next time. And the other part is taking that criticism in a friendly way, which Lemon did. She's fine. === ''How You Play the Game'' [1.23] === === ''Good Citizens Club'' [1.24] === === ''Team For Two'' [1.25] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It could really use some FUN colors! :'''Princess Berrykin''': Exactly!

''[continues crying that she thinks Pupcake and Custard ran away and the girls feel sorry for her]'' :'''Lemon Meringue''': Ohh, Strawberry... You must be so worried. Oh, we've been talking about us how worried we are. ''[The girls comfort her]'' :'''Raspberry Torte''': You poor thing... :'''Plum Pudding''': You love those pets so much. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[still crying, forlorn, heartbroken]'' I didn't want to make everyone upset, but... I'm just so scared I won't find them... And... and maybe they did... run away. You see, they wanted me to play with them, but I was too busy... <Hr width="50%"/> :''[Pupcake and Custard come out of the cave with the baby gopher]'' :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[happily]'' Pupcake!

I didn't want to give away the surprise. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I understand. I probably wouldn't have believed you anyway. You look quite different in person. :'''Cherry Jam''': I just dress that way because it's what my fans want. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Well, I'm a fan of yours. :'''Cherry Jam''': Oh. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But I'm also a fan of people dressing how they like.

''[gasps]'' What's wrong? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Well, I think maybe you have the wrong blueprints. :'''Orange Blossom''': I do? ''[gasps]'' Oh no! ''[sighs in relief]'' For a minute there, I thought I'd made a mistake or something. Nope these are the plans all right the plans they used to build the real resort. See? Every detail is exactly precisely the same as on Berry Breezy Island. The beach, the hotel, the chairs, the palms... :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': But what about these? :'''Orange Blossom''': Oh, those aren't any good. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, I think they are. :'''Orange Blossom''': Aww, come one, just look. the details are all off. See that beach? Way too small. And the chairs, they're in the wrong place, and— :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Don't you think this is the most important detail? :'''Orange Blossom''': Huh? What detail? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': This, right here. That's us. Having fun. Having a great vacation together. Isn't that what matters most? :'''Orange Blossom''': Well, but wouldn't it be more fun with a big pink beach like this and real palm trees like these, and... :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Hmm, I think what makes it fun is us being together, having fun. :'''Orange Blossom''': Yeah. Come to think of it, I haven't been much fun. I guess I've been kind of bossy. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': We don't want to give up on helping you with your dream, but... :'''Orange Blossom''': You know, maybe we don't need a big pink beach. Maybe we don't need palm trees. What if we build a tropical paradise that's just right for us? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Sounds like a very good idea, Orange. :'''Orange Blossom''': And what if I try to have more fun building it? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': ''[giggles]'' All right! === ''The Berry Best Vacation'' [2.9] === === ''The Berry Long Winter'' [2.10] === === ''The Big Freeze'' [2.11] === === ''On Ice'' [2.12] === === ''On The Road'' [2.13] === == Season 3 == === ''A Boy and His Dogs'' [3.1] === === ''Partners in Crime'' [3.2] === === ''The Mystery of the Disappearing Dog Show'' [3.3] === === ''Snowberry and the Seven Berrykins'' [3.4] === === ''Berryella and Prince Charming'' [3.5] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Oh, Prince Berry Charming, I can't begin to tell, ''Eek'' you how delightfully happy ''Eek'' I am to finally ''Eek'' meet you ''Eek'' at this ''Eek'' royal ''Eek'' :'''Plum Pudding''': Cut the music! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It's okay, it's alright. :'''Plum Pudding''': I'm kind of thinking that ''Eek'' isn't what Berryella would feel for the prince at this moment. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': No, it's what I was feeling for my feet. :'''Huckleberry Pie''': I was stepping on them. :'''Plum Pudding''': Huh? :'''Huckleberry Pie''': See, I, uh, don't, uh, I don't know how to dance. :'''Plum Pudding''': Oh.

Didn't the ship kinda get, um, full of water? :'''Apple Dumplin''': Yep, I turned it into the biggest swimming pool ever! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Hum, I uh, see what you mean. And how did the captain feel about that? :'''Apple Dumplin''': You should have seen his face. It was so sweet! I guess nobody had ever done something like that for him. He just sat there and cried. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': I can imagine. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': There's no one aboard? How'd you do that? :'''Apple Dumplin''': Automatic return. A little feature I added. Tells the butterflies when you don't need the bus anymore. Because you know you're not gonna leave.

I never knew how awful I was. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': You're leaving? :'''Sour Grapes''': You'll be better off without me. Sweet will stay and help you in the cafe. :'''Sweet Grapes''': Don't count on it. :'''Sour Grapes''': Sweet? What are you... You didn't do anything wrong. You never do. :'''Sweet Grapes''': You're my sister. I stick with you no matter what. :'''Sour Grapes''': Oh Sweet, I'm sorry. Everywhere we go, I wear out our welcome. :'''Apple Dumplin''': You can't leave. I've been all over, and I promise this place is the best. You'll see. This is the kind of place where you can wear out your welcome and still be welcome, because you're loved. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': That's right. Please don't go. :'''Sweet Grapes''': Really? :'''Sour Grapes''': You'll forgive me? :'''Sweet Grapes''': Us. :'''Sour Grapes''': Us. :'''Sweet Grapes''': We'll both try and get along better :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Of course. === ''A Berry Merry Birthday'' [4.4] === :'''Sweet Grapes''': Are you going? :'''Plum Pudding''': I'm sorry, Sweet. This is awfully awkward. I looked at the time, and... I gotta change for... you know... :'''Sweet Grapes''': Sour's birthday party. :''[Plum Pudding nods in agreement]'' :'''Sweet Grapes''': Plum, it's okay! Go, go have fun. I'm fine, I'm enjoying myself here. :'''Plum Pudding''': I'm sorry, but I have to say it. :'''Sweet Grapes''': Say what? :'''Plum Pudding''': Well, I know I shouldn't say it, 'cause it's your sister and all, but I... No, I've gotta get it off my chest. I mean, what sister doesn't invite a sister to a sister's birthday party on a sister's birthday? It's just wrong! That's all. I-It's just... I don't get it, it's not nice. :'''Sweet Grapes''': Plum, I'm absolutely fine with it. It was my idea. How often do you get the opportunity to give someone what they truly want for their birthday? And like you said, she's my sister, and her having a perfect birthday means everything to me. === ''Tall Tale Trio'' [4.5] === :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Perfect. We'll heat it up on our campfire, and then you all know what's next. :'''Sour Grapes''': What? What's next? We put the fire out? :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': It's one of our longstanding campout traditions: tall tales. :'''Sour Grapes''': Tall tales? :'''Raspberry Torte''': Yeah, we make up fun stories. Like, tales. Like, make believe. And tell them around the campfire. Everyone gets a turn. The wilder, more outrageous, the better. :'''Sour Grapes''': Sounds outrageously thrilling. How about short tales, so we can get home sooner? :'''Lemon Meringue''': ''[giggles]'' You're too funny, Sour. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sweet Grapes''': Cherry! :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Plum! Orange! Where have you been? Are you alright? :'''Cherry Jam''': ''[panting]'' So sorry, Strawberry. :'''Plum Pudding''': ''[panting]'' A long story. :'''Orange Blossom''': ''[panting]'' You wouldn't even... ''[takes a deep breath]'' :'''Cherry Jam''': ''[panting]'' ...believe it. :'''Strawberry Shortcake''': Try me. === ''Berry Big Tale-Teller'' [4.6] === === ''The Berry Bitty Great Race'' [4.7] === === ''The Berry Best Taste Test'' [4.8] === === ''The Berry Best Biscuit'' [4.9] === === ''Hot Sauce Cook Off'' [4.10] === :'''Sweet Grapes''': Good morning, Strawberry. Hi, Apple. Well, what do you have today that's fresh and exciting? :'''Sour Grapes''': Somebody thinks it's time to change the menu at the cafe. :'''Sweet Grapes''': Time to fire up the flavor. Notch up the nachos. Spice up the spice. Dial up the delish. :'''Sour Grapes''': Meaning she wants to fix something that isn't broken. :'''Berrykin Bloom''': Well, as I always say, it's good to find new ways of doing things. Shows you take pride in your work. <hr width="50%" /> :'''Sweet Grapes''': That is the best chili sauce ever! We have to have it at the cafe. :'''Sour Grapes''': That's twice in one day I've agreed with her. I'm starting to get worried. :'''Sweet Grapes''': It's wonderful, Berrykin Bloom. What's your secret? :'''Berrykin Bloom''': No secret, really. I follow three simple rules: You can't rush, everything takes time; never give up, there's a solution for every problem; and always add a little loving care, Any job worth doing is worth doing well. === ''The Berry Bitty Dance Disaster'' [4.11] === === ''The Doggie Dance No-Show'' [4.12] === === ''Dance Puppy Dance'' [4.13] === == Voice cast == * [[w:Anna Cummer|Anna Cummer]] - Strawberry Shortcake * [[w:Andrea Libman|Andrea Libman]] - Lemon Meringue, Sweet Grapes * [[w:Ashleigh Ball|Ashleigh Ball]] - Plum Pudding * [[w:Britt McKillip|Britt McKillip]] - Blueberry Muffin * [[w:Diana Kaarina|Diana Kaarina]] - Sour Grapes * Ingrid Nilson - Raspberry Torte * [[w:Janyse Jaud|Janyse Jaud]] - Orange Blossom * [[w:Rebecca Shoichet|Rebecca Shoichet]] - Apple Dumplin * [[w:Shannon Chan-Kent|Shannon Chan-Kent]] - Cherry Jam == External links == {{wikipedia}} [[Category:2010s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:Computer-animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated adventure TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated education TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated musical TV shows]] [[Category:Cancelled shows]] [[Category:Discovery Family shows]] dhwa5k9fhxnu6ooqb57di0fg1zunwui Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! 0 138224 3951623 3846268 2026-06-11T12:15:23Z UDScott 4304 3951623 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} [[File:Scooby-Doo Where Are You! logo.svg|thumb]] '''''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!''''' is a children's animated TV series about 4 humans and their dog named Scooby-Doo who travel in The Mystery Machine and solve mysteries. == Cast == * Don Messick - Scooby-Doo, Professor Jameson Hyde White, Mr. Wickles * Casey Kasem - Shaggy * [[Frank Welker]] - Fred, Vulture, Charlie, Pink dog, Johnny, Girl dog puppet, * Indira Stefanianna - Daphne, Sharon Wetherby (Season 1) * Heather North - Daphne (Season 2) * [[Nicole Jaffe]] - Velma == External links == {{wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|0063950|Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!}} * [http://www2.warnerbros.com/sd_brand/index.html Official Scooby-Doo Website] {{Scooby-Doo}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:1960s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated adventure TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated fantasy TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated mystery TV shows]] [[Category:ABC animated TV shows]] [[Category:Scooby-Doo TV shows]] [[Category:Television series on DVD]] [[Category:TV shows about dogs]] rfz9v8fh4y93rj66oj2upqjea23sgv4 Pitch Perfect 0 147722 3951596 3951448 2026-06-11T12:04:42Z UDScott 4304 Reverted edit by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-34279-18|~2026-34279-18]] ([[User talk:~2026-34279-18|talk]]) to last version by UDScott 3946726 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Pitch Perfect|Pitch Perfect]]''''' is a [[w:2012 in film|2012 American musical comedy film]] about an all-girl college a cappella group, The Barden Bellas, as they compete against another a cappella group from their college (The Barden Treblemakers) to win Nationals. :''Directed by [[w:Jason Moore (director)|Jason Moore]].

It's distracting. :'''Beca''': Yeah, that's not a thing, and you're not the boss of me. So... :'''Aubrey''': You took an oath. :'''Beca''': That oath cost you two girls already today. I'm pretty sure you need me more than I need you.

How do you not like movies? Not liking movies is like not liking puppies. :'''Beca''': They're fine. I just get bored and never make it to the end. :'''Jesse''': The endings are the best part! :'''Beca''': They're predictable. Like, the guy gets the girl, and that kid sees dead people, and Darth Vader is Luke's father. :'''Jesse''': Okay, right, so you just happened to guess the biggest cinematic reveal in history? :'''Beca''': "Vader" in German means father. His name is '''''literally''''' "Darth Father." :'''Jesse''': ...So you know German.

Slow down! Yeah! ''[runs to the window]'' Hey, Amy? SABOTAGE!! ''[chucks his burrito out of the window, and it hits Fat Amy in the chest as she's filling up the bus' gas tank]'' :'''Fat Amy''': Ugh!

''[Beca and Lilly get out to help]'' :'''Fat Amy''': There's no need for that. No mouth to mouth. Oh, shit! Bumper threw a big-ass burrito at me! I'm gonna kill him, I swear. I'm gonna finish him like a cheesecake! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gail''': Whoo, that little peanut can sing! :'''John''': He really can. It sounds to me, though, Gail, like his boys haven't dropped yet, if you know what I mean. :'''Gail''': If you mean his testicles, then I do, John. I do. I really do. <hr width="50%"/> :'''John''': Oh my goodness gracious, would you look at this - gone are those Bella uniforms, and this is a whole new look for them, and it's hot, hot, hot! :'''Gail''': John, these girls could turn me! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gail''': I think we have just seen some a cappella history being made, John. :'''John''': And from an all-female group, Gail. I could never have called this one. :'''Gail''': Never.

Abby Mallard. :'''Foxy Loxy''': ''[Fake cough]'' Ugly Duckling! :''[All the students laugh]'' :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': Class, I will not tolerate rude behavior at the expense of a fellow... :'''Abby Mallard''': Hey, hey, hey. No worries, Mr. Woolensworth. :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': Yaah! ''[honking sound effect]'' You mustn't sneak up on me, Ugly– Uh, Abby. Now, where was I? :'''Foxy Loxy''': ''[fake cough]'' Ugly Duckling! :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': Yes, of course. Thank you. ''[Abby drums on her desk and blows a raspberry]'' Chicken Little. :''[Chicken Little's desk is empty]'' :'''Foxy Loxy''': ''[fake cough]'' Tardy again! :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': Tardy again. ''[crosses Chicken Little's name off]'' Hmm. Class, turn to page 62 and translate each word in mutton. ''[clears thorat]'' He. :'''Students''': Baa! :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': She. :'''Students''': Baa! :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': They. :'''Students''': Baa! :'''Mr. Woolensworth''': We. :'''Students''': Baa! :''[at hall]'' :'''Coach''': ''[off-screen]'' Okay, everyone. Listen up! I don't wanna hear any quacks, tweets, oinks, whinnies or cocklee-doodle-doos when I say dodgeball. :''[?]'' :'''Runt of the Litter''': Oh, man. :'''Foxy Loxy''': Pump it up! Pump it, pump it, pump it! :'''Coach''': Split into two teams. Popular versus unpopular. :'''Runt of the Litter''': Coach? :'''Coach''': Yeah, unpopular? :'''Runt of the Litter''': Shouldn't we review safety guidelines? :'''Coach''': Sure! Hit the pig, kids! :'''Runt of the Litter''': Aaah! ''[screaming]'' Look out! :'''Abby Mallard''': Calm down, Runt! Just do what Fish is doing. :''[C & C Music Factory: Gonna Make You Sweat]'' :'''C & C Music Factory''': Everybody dance now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Abby Mallard''': Tough morning? :'''Chicken Little''': I had a run in with my old nemesis. :'''Abby Mallard''': Gum on the crosswalk? :'''Chicken Little''': He won this round. :'''Abby Mallard''': Your old foe. :'''Chicken Little''': Mmm-hmm. :'''Abby Mallard''': Incoming on your right. <hr width="50%"/> :''[During a timeout at gym class]'' :'''Chicken Little''': So, what do you think? :'''Abby Mallard''': Okay, listen. Look, ''you'' said thought the sky was falling. Your ''dad'' didn't support you, and ''you'' have been hurting inside ever since. :'''Chicken Little''': Yeah, but... :'''Abby Mallard''': It's hurt. It's the nutshell. :'''Chicken Little''': Well, it's hurt, but... :'''Abby Mallard''': No, bup bup! Bup! Now what needs to happen now is the nut needs to be cracked open, and not one little chip at a time, but bam! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Anger! Frustration! Denial! Fear! Deep depression, in fact! You see what I'm saying? :''[Pause]'' :'''Runt of the Litter''': Uh... :'''Abby Mallard''': Alright, forget the nut thing. Here's the main thing. You have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem. Here's the real solution: You, your dad, talk-talk-talking, closure. :'''Chicken Little''': Closure? :'''Abby Mallard''': Closure. Talking about something until it's resolved. Wait. Look. ''[pulls out some magazines from her backpack]'' There's a whole section about in this month's Modern Mallard. Incredibly appropriate! Whew! :'''Chicken Little''': I told you, I have a plan. :'''Abby Mallard''': Yeah, but according to Cosmo Duck, you should stop the squawk and try the talk. And Beautiful Ducking says avoiding closure with your parents can cause early molting. See? Closure. ''[as they're talking, Fish Out of Water is building a tower out of her magazines]'' Just repeat after me. You, your dad, talk-talk... :'''Chicken Little''': Abby, Abby, Abby! Listen, talking's a waste of time. I got to do something great so my dad doesn't think I'm such a loser. :'''Abby Mallard''': Come on, you're not a loser. You're inventive and resourceful and funny and cute... :'''Chicken Little''': What? ''[Falls from the volleyball]'' :'''Abby Mallard''': Oh, you... ''[Chuckles nervously]'' Um... ''[Smiling broadly]'' Runt, should Chicken Little have a good talk with his dad and clean the air... ''[Winks then frowns]'' ...or keep searching for Band-Aid solutions and never deal with the problem? :'''Runt of the Litter''': Pfft! Band-Aid solutions! :'''Abby Mallard''': Runt! :'''Runt of the Litter''': Well, I'm sorry! I'm very bad at reading facial cues. :'''Abby Mallard''': Fish, help me out here. ''[eyes widen to see Fish has built the Empire State Building out of papers from magazines, and pretends to be King Kong while making papper airplanes, much to her annoyance. Fish pretends to get shot and falls off the building]'' Men. :'''Runt of the Litter''': ''[as the paper citizen]'' 'Twas Beauty that killed the Beast. :'''Abby Mallard''': I guess only girls are good at honest communication and sensitivity. ''[gets hit by the volleyball]'' :''[Foxy Loxy and the classmates laugh]'' :'''Chicken Little''': That does it! We were in a time-out, Foxy! Prepare to hurt! And I don't mean emotionally like I do! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Whoa! :''[?]'' :'''Runt of the Litter''': We will save you! Fall back! Mad goose! :''[?]'' :'''Coach''': Chicken Little! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Principal Fetchit''': Not showing up for class, inappropriate school attire, picking fights in gym class and the fire alarm? Ever since that sky falling incident, he's been nothing but trouble! ''[sighs]'' Now, look, Buck. You know I have the utmost respect for you. I mean you were Buck "Ace" Cluck, our school baseball star! ''[sighs]'' But let's face the facts. Your kid, he's nothing like you at all. :'''Buck Cluck''': ''[clears throat]'' Okay, thank you for talking to me. I'll take care of my son. :'''Chicken Little''': Dad, it wasn't my fault. It was Foxy. She's always... :'''Buck Cluck''': That's all right. It's fine. You don't have to explain anything. :''[They drive home]'' :'''Chicken Little''': Uh... Uh, Hey, Dad? I was thinking. Yeah, what if I...? What if...? What if I joined the baseball team? :''[Almost get hit by another car]'' :'''Man''': Hey, why don't you watch where you're going?! :'''Buck Cluck''': Sorry, there, buddy! Sorry, sorry! Baseball? Son, we talked about this. :'''Chicken Little''': Yeah, right. But, you know, that was when I was small. I put on five ounces this year, I've really bulked up. :'''Buck Cluck''': Really, son? Baseball? Are you sure? :'''Chicken Little''': Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, hey, why not, right? :'''Buck Cluck''': Yeah, why not, but why? :'''Chicken Little''': Well, Dad, you were such a big baseball star in high school. You could give me some pointers. :'''Buck Cluck''': But, son, you know, I'm just wondering, maybe baseball isn't exactly your thing, you know? Have you considered the chess team or the glee club? And some teenagers, you know, they get quite a rush from stamp-collecting! You wanna stop? We'll get some stamps... :'''Chicken Little''': No, I don't like stamps. :'''Buck Cluck''': Colors, colorful things... :'''Chicken Little''': No, I was thinking baseball! I can't wait to see the look on your face when I smash that ball in for a touchdown! Dad, um, I'm kidding. That was a joke. :'''Buck Cluck''': Just do me one favor, son. :'''Chicken Little''': Why, sure, Dad, anything. :'''Buck Cluck''': Just please try not to get your hopes too high. :'''Chicken Little''': Yeah, but Dad I mean. Yeah, I mean, I think I can...I...Okay, Dad. :''[?]'' :'''Dog''': That's my boy! :'''Puppy''': Gee, thanks, Dad! :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': Come on. All I need is a chance. :''[?]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Acorn Mascot''': Lean to the left. Lean to the right. C'mon Acorns. Fight, fight, fight! Go, Acorns! :''[?]'' :'''Don Bowwoser''': There's excitement in the air, ladies and gentlemen. It's been two decades since Oakey Oaks has beaten rivals the Spud Valley Taters. Down by only a single run, and with a player in scoring position, we finally have a chance again. This excitement isn't about the fun of baseball, it's not about the prize. It's about gloating and rubbing their noses in it, the "Nah-nah-na-na-na! We beat you!" taunting, if you will, that comes with the winning. :'''Crowd''': Yeah! :'''Don Bowwoser''': That's right. Oakey Oaks and the Honorable Mayor Turkey Lurkey will finally have bragging rights again for one full year! :''[?]'' :'''Don Bowwoser''': But this battle has taken a heavy toll on our hometown heroes. After nine grueling innings and several players out with injuries, the Acorns are scraping the bottom of the roster. Hopefully, there's just enough muscle on the bench to pull out a win. Up next... ''[shuddering]'' Chicken Little. :''[?]'' :'''Don Bowwoser''': Clearly a long shot, folks. Little hasn't been up to bat once since joining the team. :'''Cougar''': He's gonna lose the game for us! :'''Don Bowwoser''': Wait! If he can get a walk and advance to first, that powerhouse Foxy Loxy can step up and save us all. She's had a terrific game so far. A shoo-in for the MVP trophy. :'''Coach''': Okay, kid. Listen up. You have an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny strike zone. There's no way he can throw you out! Take the walk. Don't swing. :'''Chicken Little''': Yeah. But, coach. I have a good feeling... :'''Coach''': Look. Look at me, look at me. Don't swing, take the walk, you hear me? Just take the walk. :'''Chicken Little''': But, coach, wait! :'''Coach''': Don't swing! :'''Don Bowwoser''': Nervous, gangly, barely able to hold the pine, Little advances to the box. He's going to bat from the right. Make it the left. No, the right. The right. :'''Stork''': Easy out! :'''Don Bowwoser''': Left field's found something better to do, center field's got a hunger pang in his second stomach and right field's digging for grubs. :'''Horse''': Play ball! :'''Cougar''': ''[sadly]'' Why him, why now? ''[cries]'' :'''Chicken Little''': I won't embarrass you, Dad. Not this time. :'''Don Bowwoser''': Here's the wind-up, the pitch! It's a high cutter. :'''Horse''': Ball! :''[?]'' :'''Horse''': Uh... Strike one! :''[?]'' :'''Don Bowwoser''': Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it; I've seen roadkill with faster reflexes. The catcher lays down the signals. Here's the pitch, urve ball low and outside, he swings! :'''Horse''': Stee-rike two! :'''Turkey Lurkey''': Ohh! :'''Coach''': I said, don't swing! :'''Crowd''': Don't swing! :'''Morkubine Porcupine''': No! :'''Horse''': Batter up! :''[?]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chicken Little''': Oh... :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': No! ''[BOOM!]'' A piece of the sky?! Shaped like a stop sign?! Not again! :'''Buck Cluck''': ''[off-screen]'' Hey, son! You all right? I'm coming, I'm coming! I'm coming upstairs! ''[?]'' What's wrong? :'''Chicken Little''': Nothing. :'''Buck Cluck''': You sure? I thought I heard you yell. :'''Chicken Little''': No. Uh, I, uh... I fell out of bed. :'''Buck Cluck''': Huh? How'd you get over there? :'''Chicken Little''': Over where? :'''Buck Cluck''': There. :'''Chicken Little''': Where? :'''Buck Cluck''': There! How'd you get over there?! :'''Chicken Little''': Who're we talking about? :'''Buck Cluck''': Never mind. What's the difference? Look, the past is behind us, right? :'''Chicken Little''': Mmm. :'''Buck Cluck''': Tomorrow's gonna be a new day. :''[chuckling]'' :'''Chicken Little''': ''[gasping]'' Please be gone, please be gone, please be gone... :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': Good. :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': Ah! :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': No. :''[?]'' :'''Chicken Little''': No. I gotta call Abby! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chicken Little''': All right, guys. Watch this. :'''Abby Mallard''': Bizarre. ''[Runt whimpers]'' Okay. Let me guess. You haven't told your dad yet. :'''Chicken Little''': Well... :'''Abby Mallard''': I knew it! Why haven't you told him? Because there hasn't been you, your dad, talk-talk-talking. :'''Chicken Little''': There was talking. There was...There was definitely talking. :'''Abby Mallard''': Oh, really? What did he say? ''[Chicken Little only making stammering things]'' What? Alright, that's ''it''! We are doing an intervention, you have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem! :'''Runt of the Litter''': She's right! :'''Chicken Little''': Abby, please. This is exactly what fell on me the first time. There's no way I'm bringing this up again with him. :'''Runt of the Litter''': No, he's not! :'''Abby Mallard''': Runt! :'''Runt of the Litter''': Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper. :'''Abby Mallard''': Okay. I'm sure there's a simple, logical explanation. I mean, it could be a piece of weather balloon, or maybe it's part of some experimental communications satellite. :'''Chicken Little''': I don't care what it is. I want it out of my life, gone for good. Everything back to normal. :'''Abby Mallard''': Hey, remember when that icy blue stuff fell from the sky? Everybody thought it was from space and stuff? And it just turned out to be frozen pee from a jet airplane. :'''Runt of the Litter''': Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee. Yeah. It's frozen pee. ''[singing] Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.'' :'''Chicken Little''': Could you stop saying that? :'''Runt of the Litter''': What, pee? :'''Chicken Little''': Pee. :'''Abby Mallard''': How about tinkle? :'''Runt of the Litter''': Piddle? :'''Abby Mallard''': Whiz? ''[Fish gurgles]'' :'''Runt of the Litter''': Wee-wee? :'''Chicken Little''': Okay, subject change. :'''Runt of the Litter''': Make Phishee? :'''Chicken Little''': I don't care what it is!

He can handle it. :'''Chicken Little''': Who're we talking about? :''[sighing]'' :'''Buck Cluck''': Uh... :'''Chicken Little''': Gotta go! Dad!

Was it 2-D, pencil-drawn animation, or was it telling great stories with great characters? And Joe Grant, who passed away just this past year, that we dedicated the movie to...I think he was, at 94 years old, really the youngest voice in the room, saying to all of us, "Look, Walt Disney stood for cutting-edge technology. He stood for whatever tool you could assemble that would do the best job of telling your story. Don't get hung up on the technology and say, 'No, it's the pencil.'" He said, "Walt never would have locked in and said, 'You gotta stick with the pencil forever, no matter what happens with technology.'" So I think it was undeniable. I think of the top-ten grossing [animated movies], Lion King is the only one in there that's a 2-D movie. It's undeniable that there's a great public appetite, and it's because you just have such a rich palette. Like Buck Cluck's feathers--he has 250,000 feathers on his head and his arms that can all move to wind and gravity. Those are things that you could only dream of in a 2-D realm. ** [[w:Randy Fullmer|Randy Fullmer]] in [http://movies.radiofree.com/interviews/chickenl_mark_dindal_randy_fullmer.shtml "MARK DINDAL & RANDY FULLMER on 'CHICKEN LITTLE'"] by Michael J.

Look at me, look at me. Don't swing, take the walk, you hear me?

Was it 2-D, pencil-drawn animation, or was it telling great stories with great characters? And Joe Grant, who passed away just this past year, that we dedicated the movie to...I think he was, at 94 years old, really the youngest voice in the room, saying to all of us, "Look, Walt Disney stood for cutting-edge technology. He stood for whatever tool you could assemble that would do the best job of telling your story. Don't get hung up on the technology and say, 'No, it's the pencil.'" He said, "Walt never would have locked in and said, 'You gotta stick with the pencil forever, no matter what happens with technology.'" So I think it was undeniable. I think of the top-ten grossing [animated movies], Lion King is the only one in there that's a 2-D movie. It's undeniable that there's a great public appetite, and it's because you just have such a rich palette. Like Buck Cluck's feathers--he has 250,000 feathers on his head and his arms that can all move to wind and gravity. Those are things that you could only dream of in a 2-D realm. ** [[w:Randy Fullmer|Randy Fullmer]] in [http://movies.radiofree.com/interviews/chickenl_mark_dindal_randy_fullmer.shtml "MARK DINDAL & RANDY FULLMER on 'CHICKEN LITTLE'"] by Michael J.

It is interesting to note the marked contrast in their styles. Lagrange is perfect both in form and matter, he is careful to explain his procedure, and though his arguments are general they are easy to follow. Laplace on the other hand explains nothing, is indifferent to style, and, if satisfied that his results are correct, is content to leave them either with no proof or with a faulty one. Gauss is as exact and elegant as Lagrange, but even more difficult to follow than Laplace, for he removes every trace of the analysis by which he reached his results, and studies to give a proof which while rigorous shall be as concise and synthetical as possible. ** [[W. W. Rouse Ball]], ''History of Mathematics,'' (London, 1901), p. 463 * In the entire history of Greek mathematics, all but the incomparable [[Archimedes]] and a few of the more heterodox sophists appear to have hated or feared the mathematical infinite. Analysis was thwarted when it might have prospered.<!--p.50--> ** [[Eric Temple Bell]], ''The Development of Mathematics'' (1940) *I presume that few who have paid any attention to the history of the Mathematical Analysis, will doubt that it has been developed in certain order, or that that order, has been to great extent necessary – being determined by steps of logical deduction, or by the successive introduction of new ideas and conceptions, when the time for the evolution had arrived. **[[George Boole]] in a “Treatise on Differential Equations”, 1859, pp.485 quoted in: ''[http://books.google.co.in/books?id=yW4_AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA70 The Mathematical Monthly, Volume 2]'',1860 P.70-71 * THEY who are acquainted with the present state of the theory of Symbolical Algebra, are aware, that the validity of the processes of analysis does not depend upon the interpretation of the symbols which are employed, but solely upon the laws of their combination. Every system of interpretation which does not affect the truth of the relations supposed, is equally admissible, and it is thus that the same process may, under one scheme of interpretation, represent the solution of a question on the properties of numbers, under another, that of a geometrical problem, and under a third, that of a problem of dynamics or optics. This principle is indeed of fundamental importance ; and it may with safety be affirmed, that the recent advances of pure analysis have been much assisted by the influence which it has exerted in directing the current of investigation. ** [[George Boole]], ''[http://books.google.nl/books?id=zv4YAQAAIAAJ The Mathematical Analysis of Logic],'' Philosophical Library, (1847), p. ii: Lead paragraph of the Introduction * The terms ''[[synthesis]]'' and ''[[analysis]]'' are used in mathematics in a more special sense than in logic. In ancient mathematics they had a different meaning from what they now have. The oldest definition of mathematical analysis as opposed to synthesis is that given in [[w:Euclid's Elements|Euclid]], XIII. 5, which in all probability was framed by [[w:Eudoxus of Cnidus|Eudoxus]]: "Analysis is the obtaining of the thing sought by assuming it and so reasoning up to an admitted truth; synthesis is the obtaining of the thing sought by reasoning up to the inference and proof of it." ** [[Florian Cajori]], ''[[A History of Mathematics]]'' (1893). p. 30 * The analytic method is not conclusive, unless all operations involved in it are known to be reversible. To remove all doubt, the Greeks, as a rule added to the analytic process a synthetic one, consisting of a reversion of all operations occurring in the analysis. Thus the aim of analysis was to aid in the discovery of synthetic proofs or solutions. ** [[Florian Cajori]], ''[[A History of Mathematics]]'' (1893). p. 31 * Mathematical Analysis is... the true rational basis of the whole system of our positive knowledge. ** [[Auguste Comte]], ''The Positive Philosophy'', 1853, Bk. 1, chap. 1, as cited in: in: [[Robert Edouard Moritz]]. ''[https://archive.org/stream/memorabiliamathe00moriiala#page/81/mode/2up Memorabilia mathematica; or, The philomath's quotation-book],'' (1914), p. 224 * Every attempt to refer chemical questions to mathematical doctrines must be considered, now and always, profoundly irrational, as being contrary to the nature of the phenomena. . . . but if the employment of mathematical analysis should ever become so preponderant in chemistry (an aberration which is happily almost impossible) it would occasion vast and rapid retrogradation.... ** [[Auguste Comte]], ''The Positive Philosophy'', 1853 * Those skilled in mathematical analysis know that its object is not simply to calculate numbers, but that it is also employed to find the relations between magnitudes which cannot be expressed in numbers and between functions whose law is not capable of algebraic expression. ** [[Antoine Augustin Cournot]]. ''Mathematical Theory of the Principles of Wealth,'' [Bacon, N. T.], (New York, 1897), p. 3. * So far we have studies how, for each commodity by itself, the law of demand in connection with the conditions of production of that commodity, determines the price of it and regulates the incomes of its producers. We considered as given and invariable the prices of other commodities and the incomes of other producers; '''but, in reality the economic system is a whole of which the parts are connected and react on each other.''' An increase in the incomes of the producers of commodity A will affect the demand for commodities Band C, etc., and the incomes of their producers, and, by its reaction will involve a change in the demand for A. It seems, therefore, as if, for a complete and rigorous solution of the problems relative to some parts of the economic system, it were indispensable to take the entire system into consideration. But this would surpass the powers of mathematical analysis and of our practical methods of calculation, even if the values of all the constants could be assigned to them numerically. ** [[Antoine Augustin Cournot]].

For example, they can simulate automobiles on a freeway, chess pieces, electrons in a box, musical notes, Russian words, patterns on a paper, human cells, colors, electrical circuits, and so on. To think of a computer as made up essentially of numbers is simply a carryover from the successful use of mathematical analysis in studying models. Most of this series of lectures has been devoted to applications of computers, and this is not the time to give details about their usefulness. I merely wish to point out certain types of things being done with computers today that could not have been done in 1945. Some of these are technological, some are intellectual. ** [[George Forsythe]] ''Educational implications of the computer revolution'', 1963 * Mathematical analysis is co-extensive with nature itself; it defines all perceptible relations, measures times, spaces, forces, temperatures ; this difficult science is formed slowly, but it preserves every principle which it has once acquired; it grows and strengthens itself incessantly in the midst of the many variations and errors of the human mind. <br> Its chief attribute is clearness; it has no marks to express confused notations. It brings together phenomena the most diverse, and discovers the hidden analogies which unite them. If matter escapes us, as that of air and light because of its extreme tenuity, if bodies are placed far from us in the immensity of space, if man wishes to know the aspect of the heavens at successive periods separated by many centuries, if gravity and heat act in the interior of the solid earth at depths which will forever be inaccessible, mathematical analysis is still able to trace the laws of these phenomena. It renders them present and measurable, and appears to be the faculty of the human mind destined to supplement the brevity of life and the imperfection of the senses, and what is even more remarkable, it follows the same course in the study of all phenomena; it explains them in the same language, as if in witness to the unity and simplicity of the plan of the universe, and to make more manifest the unchangeable order which presides over all natural causes. ** [[Joseph Fourier]] ''The Analytical Theory of Heat'' (1878) * The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe. ** [[Joseph Fourier]], ''Theory of Heat,'' [Freeman], (Cambridge, 1878), Chap. 1, p. 12. *Mathematical Analysis is as extensive as nature herself. **[[Joseph Fourier|Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier]] in "Fourier Analysis" by T.W.Korner quoted in [http://books.google.co.in/books?id=P9xB7s-aLakC&pg=PA120 Mathematical Analysis], Universities Press, 2001, p. 120 === G - L === * Perhaps the least inadequate description of the general scope of modern [[Pure Mathematics]] I will not call it a definition would be to say that it deals with form, in a very general sense of the term; this would include algebraic form, functional relationship, the relations of order in any ordered set of entities such as numbers, and the analysis of the peculiarities of form of groups of operations. ** [[E. W. Hobson]] "Presidential Address British Association for the Advancement of Science, Section A, (1910}" in: ''Nature,'' Vol. 84, p. 287 * [D]uring the last half-century, number and measurable quantity have been separated... the idea of number alone has been recognized as the foundation upon which Mathematical Analysis rests, and the theory of extensive [[w:Magnitude (mathematics)|magnitude]] is now regarded as a separate department in which the methods of Analysis are applicable, but as no longer forming part of the foundation upon which Analysis itself rests. ** [[E. W. Hobson]], ''[[Mathematics, from the points of view of the Mathematician and of the Physicist]]'' (1912) [https://books.google.com/books?id=H7Y_AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA8 p. 8.] * I discovered that a whole range of problems of the most diverse character relating to the scientific organization of production (questions of the optimum distribution of the work of machines and mechanisms, the minimization of scrap, the best utilization of raw materials and local materials, fuel, transportation, and so on) lead to the formulation of a single group of mathematical problems (extremal problems). These problems are not directly comparable to problems considered in mathematical analysis. It is more correct to say that they are formally similar, and even turn out to be formally very simple, but the process of solving them with which one is faced [i.e., by mathematical analysis] is practically completely unusable, since it requires the solution of tens of thousands or even millions of systems of equations for completion.<br> I have succeeded in finding a comparatively simple general method of solving this group of problems which is applicable to all the problems I have mentioned, and is sufficiently simple and effective for their solution to be made completely achievable under practical conditions. ** [[Leonid Kantorovich]] (1960) "Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production."

Loin de là, sans ce langage, la pluspart des anaologies intimes des choses nous seraient demeurées à jamais inconnues; et nous aurions toujours ignoré l'harmonie interne du monde, qui est, nous le verrons, la seule véritable réalité objective. **So is not mathematical analysis then not just a vain game of the mind? To the physicist it can only give a convenient language; but isn't that a mediocre service, which after all we could have done without; and, it is not even to be feared that this artificial language be a veil, interposed between reality and the physicist's eye?

The great body of physical science, a great deal of the essential facts of financial science, and endless social and political problems are only accessible and only thinkable to those who have had a sound training in mathematical analysis, and the time may not be very remote when it will be understood that for complete initiation as an efficient citizen of one of the new great complex world wide states that are now developing, it is as necessary to be able to compute, to think in averages and maxima and minima, as it is now to be able to read and to write. ** [[H.

I shall apply all my strength to bring more light into the tremendous obscurity which one unquestionably finds in analysis. It lacks so completely all plan and system that it is peculiar that so many can have studied it. The worst of it is, it has never been treated stringently. There are very few theorems in advanced analysis which have been demonstrated in a logically tenable manner. Everywhere one finds this miserable way of concluding from the special to the general, and it is extremely peculiar that such a procedure has led to so few of the so-called paradoxes. It is really interesting to seek the cause. ** [[Niels Henrik Abel]], Letter to Professor Christoffer Hansteen (1826) ''Oeuvres Complètes de N. H.

The method was defined by Theon like this: analysis is the "taking of the thing sought as granted and proceeding by means of what follows to a truth that is uncontested"'. Synthesis, in turn, is "taking the thing that is granted and proceeding by means of what follows to the conculsion and comprehension of the thing sought" (Vietae 1992: 320). The transition from analysis to synthesis was called "conversion", depending on whether the discovery of the truth of a geometrical theorem or the solution ("construction") to a geometrical problem was being demonstrated, the analysis was called respectively "theoretical" or "problematical". ** {{w|Burt C.

These problems are not directly comparable to problems considered in mathematical analysis. It is more correct to say that they are formally similar, and even turn out to be formally very simple, but the process of solving them with which one is faced [i.e., by mathematical analysis] is practically completely unusable, since it requires the solution of tens of thousands or even millions of systems of equations for completion.<br> I have succeeded in finding a comparatively simple general method of solving this group of problems which is applicable to all the problems I have mentioned, and is sufficiently simple and effective for their solution to be made completely achievable under practical conditions. ** [[Leonid Kantorovich]] (1960) "Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production."

I shall apply all my strength to bring more light into the tremendous obscurity which one unquestionably finds in analysis. It lacks so completely all plan and system that it is peculiar that so many can have studied it. The worst of it is, it has never been treated stringently. There are very few theorems in advanced analysis which have been demonstrated in a logically tenable manner. Everywhere one finds this miserable way of concluding from the special to the general, and it is extremely peculiar that such a procedure has led to so few of the so-called paradoxes.

''Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay.'' (1903), p. 34 * The terms ''[[synthesis]]'' and ''analysis'' are used in mathematics in a more special sense than in logic. In ancient mathematics they had a different meaning from what they now have. The oldest definition of mathematical analysis as opposed to synthesis is that given in [[w:Euclid's Elements|Euclid]], XIII. 5, which in all probability was framed by [[w:Eudoxus of Cnidus|Eudoxus]]: "Analysis is the obtaining of the thing sought by assuming it and so reasoning up to an admitted truth; synthesis is the obtaining of the thing sought by reasoning up to the inference and proof of it." ** [[Florian Cajori]], ''[[A History of Mathematics]]'' (1893). p. 30 * The idea that God may be approached and understood through intellectual analysis is uniquely Christian. ...It is probably not an accident that modern science grew explosively in Christian Europe and left the rest of the world behind. ** [[Freeman Dyson]], ''The Scientist As Rebel'' (2006) * The oldest definition of ''Analysis'' as opposed to ''Synthesis'' is that appended to Euclid XIII. 5. It was possibly framed by [[w:Eudoxus of Cnidus|Eudoxus]]. It states that "Analysis is the obtaining of the thing sought by assuming it and so reasoning up to an admitted truth: synthesis is the obtaining of the thing sought by reasoning up to the inference and proof of it." In other words, the synthetic proof proceeds by shewing that certain admitted truths involve the proposed new truth: the analytic proof proceeds by shewing that the proposed new truth involves certain admitted truths. ** [[James Gow (scholar)|James Gow]], ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=9d8DAAAAMAAJ A Short History of Greek Mathematics]'' (1884) p. 177 * Analysis and [[synthesis]], though commonly treated as two different methods, are, if properly understood, only the two necessary parts of the same method.

B and V have, instead of "something admitted to be true," the words "the end or attainment of what is sought." ...<br />the addition is altogether alien from the plan and manner of the ''Elements''.

The technique has been applied in the study of mathematics and logic since before [[Aristotle]] (384–322 B.C.), though analysis as a formal concept is a relatively recent development. == Quotes == * My work in the future must be devoted entirely to pure mathematics in its abstract meaning. I shall apply all my strength to bring more light into the tremendous obscurity which one unquestionably finds in analysis. It lacks so completely all plan and system that it is peculiar that so many can have studied it. The worst of it is, it has never been treated stringently. There are very few theorems in advanced analysis which have been demonstrated in a logically tenable manner. Everywhere one finds this miserable way of concluding from the special to the general, and it is extremely peculiar that such a procedure has led to so few of the so-called paradoxes. It is really interesting to seek the cause. ** [[Niels Henrik Abel]], Letter to Professor Christoffer Hansteen (1826) ''Oeuvres Complètes de N. H. Abel, mathematician, Nouvelle edition'' (1881) ed., {{w|Peter Ludwig Mejdell Sylow}} & {{w|Sophus Lie}}, Vol. 2, pp. 263-265, as quoted by {{w|Øystein Ore}}, ''Niels Henrik Abel: Mathematician Extraordinary'' (1957) p. 113. * Philosophers hasten too much from the analytic to the synthetic method; that is, they draw general conclusions from too small a number of particular observations and experiments. ** [[Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke|Lord Bolingbroke]], reported in Austin Allibone ed. ''Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay.'' (1903), p. 34 * The terms ''[[synthesis]]'' and ''analysis'' are used in mathematics in a more special sense than in logic. In ancient mathematics they had a different meaning from what they now have. The oldest definition of mathematical analysis as opposed to synthesis is that given in [[w:Euclid's Elements|Euclid]], XIII. 5, which in all probability was framed by [[w:Eudoxus of Cnidus|Eudoxus]]: "Analysis is the obtaining of the thing sought by assuming it and so reasoning up to an admitted truth; synthesis is the obtaining of the thing sought by reasoning up to the inference and proof of it." ** [[Florian Cajori]], ''[[A History of Mathematics]]'' (1893). p. 30 * The idea that God may be approached and understood through intellectual analysis is uniquely Christian. ...It is probably not an accident that modern science grew explosively in Christian Europe and left the rest of the world behind. ** [[Freeman Dyson]], ''The Scientist As Rebel'' (2006) * The oldest definition of ''Analysis'' as opposed to ''Synthesis'' is that appended to Euclid XIII. 5. It was possibly framed by [[w:Eudoxus of Cnidus|Eudoxus]]. It states that "Analysis is the obtaining of the thing sought by assuming it and so reasoning up to an admitted truth: synthesis is the obtaining of the thing sought by reasoning up to the inference and proof of it." In other words, the synthetic proof proceeds by shewing that certain admitted truths involve the proposed new truth: the analytic proof proceeds by shewing that the proposed new truth involves certain admitted truths. ** [[James Gow (scholar)|James Gow]], ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=9d8DAAAAMAAJ A Short History of Greek Mathematics]'' (1884) p. 177 * Analysis and [[synthesis]], though commonly treated as two different methods, are, if properly understood, only the two necessary parts of the same method. Each is the relative and correlative of the other. ** [[Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet|Sir W. Hamilton]], reported in Austin Allibone ed. ''Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay.'' (1903), p. 34 * The Mss. [of [[Euclid’s Elements]]] contain a curious addition to XIII. I-5 in the shape of analyses and syntheses for each proposition prefaced by the heading:<br />"What is analysis and what is synthesis.<br />"Analysis is the assumption of that which is sought as if it were admitted <and the arrival> by means of its consequences at something admitted to be true.<br />"Synthesis is an assumption of that which is admitted <and the arrival> by means of its consequences at something admitted to be true."<br />There must apparently be some corruption in the text; it does not, in the case of synthesis, give what is wanted. B and V have, instead of "something admitted to be true," the words "the end or attainment of what is sought." ...<br />the addition is altogether alien from the plan and manner of the ''Elements''. The interpolation took place before Theon's time, and the probability is that it was originally in the margin, whence it crept into the text of P after XIII. 5. [[w:Johan Ludvig Heiberg (historian)|Heiberg]]... cited the remark of [[Pappus of Alexandria|Pappus]] at the beginning of his "comparisons of the five [regular solid] figures which have an equal surface," to the effect that he will not use "the so-called analytical investigation by means of which some of the ancients effected their demonstrations." More recently Heiberg conjectures that the author is [[w:Hero of Alexandria|Heron]], on the ground that the sort of analysis and synthesis recalls Heron's remarks on analysis and synthesis in his commentary on the beginning of Book II. and his quasi-algebraical alternative proofs of propositions in that Book. ** [[Thomas Little Heath]], The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wUs6AQAAMAAJ Vol. 3] Book XIII, Prop I, footnote, p. 442. * [[François Viète|Vieta]] presented his analytic art as "the new algebra" and took its name from the ancient mathematical method of "analysis", which he understood to have been first discovered by [[Plato]] and so named by {{w|Theon of Smyrna}}. Ancient analysis is the 'general' half of a method of discovering the unknown in geometry; the other half, "synthesis", being particular in character. The method was defined by Theon like this: analysis is the "taking of the thing sought as granted and proceeding by means of what follows to a truth that is uncontested"'. Synthesis, in turn, is "taking the thing that is granted and proceeding by means of what follows to the conculsion and comprehension of the thing sought" (Vietae 1992: 320). The transition from analysis to synthesis was called "conversion", depending on whether the discovery of the truth of a geometrical theorem or the solution ("construction") to a geometrical problem was being demonstrated, the analysis was called respectively "theoretical" or "problematical". ** {{w|Burt C. Hopkins}}, "Nastalgia and Phenomenon: Hussel and Patočka on the End of the Ancient Cosmos," ''The Phenomenological Critique of Mathematisation and the Question of Responsibility: Formalisation and the Life-World'' (2015) ed., Ľubica Učník, Ivan Chvatík, Anita Williams, p. 71, ''Contributions to Phenomenology'' 76 * Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist... The therapy effected by life itself is not, however, within one's control. Neither hardships nor friendships nor religious experience can be arranged to meet the needs of the particular individual. Life as a therapist is ruthless; circumstances that are helpful to one neurotic may entirely crush another. ** [[Karen Horney]] ''Our Inner Conflicts'' (1945) * Analysis and natural philosophy owe their most important discoveries to this fruitful means, which is called induction. [[Newton]] was indebted to it for his theorem of the binomial and the principle of universal gravity. ** [[Laplace]], ''A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities,'' [Truscott and Emory] (New York 1902), p. 176. * [[w:Function (mathematics)|Function]]s are the bread and butter of modern scientists, statisticians, and economists. Once many repeated... experiments and observations produce the same functional interrelationships, those may acquire the... status of ''laws of nature''—mathematical descriptions... [[René Descartes|Descartes]]' ideas... opened the door for a systematic mathematization of everything—the very essence of the notion that God is a mathematician. ...[B]y establishing the equivalence of two perspectives of mathematics (algebraic and geometric) previously considered disjoint, Descartes expanded the horizons of mathematics and paved the way to the modern era of ''analysis'', which allows [us] to comfortably cross from one mathematical discipline to another.<!--p. 96--> ** [[w:Mario Livio|Mario Livio]], ''Is God a Mathematician?'' (2009) * A great part of the progress of formal thought... has been due to the invention of what we may call ''stenophrenic'', or ''short-mind'', symbols. These... disengage the mind from the consideration of ponderous and circuitous mechanical operations and economise its energies for the performance of new and unaccomplished tasks of thought. And the advancement of those sciences has been most notable which have made the most extensive use of these... Here mathematics and chemistry stand pre-eminent. The ancient Greeks... even admitting that their powers were more visualistic than analytic, were yet so impeded by their lack of short-mind symbols as to have made scarcely any progress whatever in analysis. Their arithmetic was a species of geometry. They did not possess the sign for zero, and also did not make use of position as an indicator of value. ...The historical calculations of [[Archimedes]], his approximation to the value of &pi;, etc., owing to this lack of appropriate... symbols, entailed enormous and incredible labors, which, if they had been avoided, would... have led to [even] great[er] discoveries. ** Thomas J. McCormack, "Joseph Louis Lagrange. Biographical Sketch" (1898) in his translation of [[Joseph Louis Lagrange]], ''Lectures on Elementary Mathematics'' (1898); 2nd edition (1901) [https://books.google.com/books?id=m09tAAAAMAAJ&pg=PR7 p. vii.] * [A]t the close of the [[Middle Ages]], when the so-called [[w:Arabic numerals|Arabic figures]] became established throughout Europe with the symbol {{w|0}} and the [[w:Positional notation|principle of local value]], immediate progress was made in the art of reckoning. The problems... led up to the general solutions of equations of the third and fourth degree by the Italian mathematicians of the sixteenth century. Yet even these discoveries were made in somewhat the same manner as problems in mental arithmetic are now solved in common schools; for the present signs of plus, minus, and equality, the radical and exponential signs, and especially the systematic use of letters for denoting general quantities in algebra, had not yet become universal. The last step was definitively due to... [[François Viète|Vieta]]... and the mighty advancement of analysis resulting therefrom can hardly be measured or imagined. ** Thomas J. McCormack, "Joseph Louis Lagrange. Biographical Sketch" (1898) in his translation of [[Joseph Louis Lagrange]], ''Lectures on Elementary Mathematics'' (1898); 2nd edition (1901) [https://books.google.com/books?id=m09tAAAAMAAJ&pg=PR8 p. viii.] * By this way of Analysis we may proceed from Compounds to Ingredients, and from Motions to the Forces producing them; and in general, from Effects to their Causes, and from particular Causes to more general ones, till the Argument end in the most general. This is the Method of Analysis: and the [[Synthesis]] consists in assuming the Causes discover'd, and establish'd as Principles, and by them explaining the Phænomena proceeding from them, and proving the Explanations. ** [[Isaac Newton]], ''Opticks'' (1704) {pp. 380-381 in [https://books.google.com/books?id=GnAFAAAAQAAJ 4th edition] (1730)} * The investigation of difficult things by the method of analysis ought ever to precede the method of composition. ** [[Isaac Newton]], reported in Austin Allibone ed. ''Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay.'' (1903), p. 34 * Now analysis is of two kinds, the one directed to searching for the truth and called ''theoretical'', the other directed to finding what we are told to find and called problematical. (1) In the ''theoretical'' kind we assume what is sought as if it were existent and true, after which we pass through its successive consequences, as if they too were true and established by virtue of our hypothesis, to something admitted: then (''a''), if that something admitted is true, that which is sought will also be true and the proof will correspond in the reverse order to the analysis, but (''b''), if we come upon something admittedly false, that which is sought will also be false. (2) In the ''problematical'' kind we assume that which is propounded as if it were known, after which we pass through its successive consequences, taking them as true, up to something admitted: if then (''a'') what is admitted is possible and obtainable, that is, what mathematicians call ''given'', what was originally proposed will also be possible, and the proof will again correspond in reverse order to the analysis, but if (''b'') we come upon something admittedly impossible, the problem will also be impossible. ** [[Pappus]], (c. 330 AD) as quoted by [[Thomas Little Heath]], ''The Thirteen Books of Euclid's Elements'' (1908) [https://books.google.com/books?id=dkk6AQAAMAAJ Vol. 1], Ch. IX. §6. * The fact that all [[Mathematics]] is [[w:Formal system|Symbolic Logic]] is one of the greatest discoveries of our age; and when this fact has been established, the remainder of the principles of mathematics consists in the analysis of Symbolic Logic itself. ** [[Bertrand Russell]], ''Principles of Mathematics'' (1903), Ch. I: Definition of Pure Mathematics, p. 5 * In mathematics there is a certain way of seeking the truth, a way which [[Plato]] is said first to have discovered and which was called "analysis" by [[w:Theon of Smyrna|Theon]] and was defined by him as "taking the thing sought as granted and proceeding by means of what follows to a truth which is uncontested"; so, on the other hand, "synthesis" is "taking the thing that is granted and proceeding by means of what follows to the conclusion and comprehension of the thing sought." And although the ancients set forth a twofold analysis, the [[wiktionary:zetetic#Noun|zetetic]] and the [[w:Porism|poristic]], to which Theon's definition particularly refers, it is nevertheless fitting that there be established also a third kind, which may be called rhetic or [[wiktionary:exegetic|exegetic]], so that there is a zetetic art by which is found the equation or proportion between the magnitude that is being sought and those that are given, a poristic art by which from the equation or proportion the truth of the theorem set up is investigated, and an exegetic art by which from the equation set up or the proportion, there is produced the magnitude itself which is being sought. And thus, the whole threefold analytic art, claiming for itself this office, may be defined as the science of right finding in mathematics. ...the zetetic art does not employ its logic on numbers—which was the tediousness of the ancient analysts—but uses its logic through a logistic which in a new way has to do with species [of number]... * [[François Viète]], ''In Artem Aanalyticem Isagoge'' (1591) Ch. 1, as quoted by [[w:Jacob Klein (philosopher)|Jacob Klein]], ''Greek Mathematical Thought and the Origin of Algebra'' (1934-1936) Appendix * The word Analysis signifies the general and particular heads of a discourse, with their mutual connections, both co-ordinate and subordinate, drawn out into one or more tables. ** [[Isaac Watts]], reported in Austin Allibone ed.

I was blackmailed. :'''US President:''' Secretary General... :'''Secretary General:''' Our orders are to provide all scientific data in the area of biochemistry, cytology and biogenetics. If we refuse, they will attack us with nuclear missiles. :'''US President:''' I was blackmailed the same way. We have proof that he's not bluffing. Some of our communication satellites have been destroyed. :'''Secretary General:''' That is of no concern, as long as it's not caught. :'''US President:''' I know that. :'''Secretary General:''' Then that guy? :'''Mamo:''' That's right. It is I, Mamo... ''[Stuckey stops the tape]'' :'''Stuckey:''' No explanation is needed regarding the two men conversing. What we want to know is who the mysterious blackmailer is who broke into the secure-line conversation. ''[he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]'' :'''Mamo:''' It is I, Mamo, the highest [[brain|intelligence]] on Earth. A [[prophet]]... Or you can call me [[God]]. :'''Secretary General:''' God? Are you insane? :'''US President:''' Someone claiming to be God making such a strange request? :'''Mamo:''' Request? This is an order. You would both understand if you knew how the world was made. ''[Gordon stops the tape]'' :'''Jigen:''' Keep going. :'''Stuckey:''' The rest is classified. In any case, we find that his threat is not a bluff. :'''Jigen:''' Is that so? ''[lights a cigarette] '' Well, this does not concern us. :'''Stuckey:''' That's not true. What Mamo is requesting was stolen by Lupin. Let me get to the point. Where is Mamo's home base? :'''Jigen:''' I have no idea. :'''Gordon:''' Keeping secrets won't do you any good. You were always with Lupin. ''[Jigen hands him Fujiko's clue to Lupin’s whereabouts]'' What's this? :'''Jigen:''' It's a clue on Lupin. Handwritten by the woman who has been deceiving him. It says "water," right? :'''Gordon:''' What is this about? :'''Jigen:''' If we knew, we wouldn't be here now. :'''Gordon:''' ''[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Stuckey and Jigen backwards]'' Don't talk rubbish! ''[grabs Jigen by his shirt]'' There are many ways to torture you! :'''Jigen:''' Is this what you call "democracy"? If that's the case, let me tell you something. :'''Gordon:''' What's that? :'''Jigen:''' I used to be a fan of [[Marilyn Monroe|Monroe]] and [[Humphrey Bogart]], but not anymore! :'''Gordon:''' You bastard! :'''Stuckey:''' Gordon. Looks like they really don't know anything. ''[whispers to Gordon, who opens a door]'' We will approach this from a different angle. You will be released immediately. :'''Gordon:''' You'd better appreciate this democracy! ''[closes the door]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[straightening his jacket]'' Hmph. I don't need to change my mind now. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Excuse me. May I ask you something? ''[freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face, then bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic]'' Heil, Hitler! ''[relaxes after Hitler passes him by]'' What could this possibly mean? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Are you looking for something? :'''Lupin:''' Are you the asylum director? I'd like to meet the party organizer. :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' This is neither a psychiatric ward nor a costume party. They're who they seem to be, Lupin. ''[turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified]'' I am Mamo. I've received the Philosopher's Stone. :'''Lupin:''' You're Fujiko's employer? :'''Mamo:''' I didn't steal it myself, so that I could test your ability. I'm satisfied with the result. You're the greatest thief in history. :'''Lupin:''' So what? I'm not in this business for you. :'''Mamo:''' Not to forget your compensation... I'm thinking about giving you eternal life. :'''Lupin:''' There you go. Nothing good comes from longevity, old buddy-boy. :'''Mamo:''' It is unfortunate that you have such an aberrant way of thinking. :'''Lupin:''' Stop your mumbling, and give me back the stone! ''[charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' Don't be shy, Lupin. Come on, catch me. :'''Lupin:''' Crap! ''[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]'' I'm so sick of the trick with reinforced glass. So... ''[falls through an invisible hole]'' Ahh! ''[makes a hard landing on his rear end]'' Ouch! Ouch! ''[gets up as Mamo cackles at him]'' Where are you, Mamo? I'm gonna get you! Remember that! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zenigata:''' Even if I have to sacrifice my own body like an oyster, I will put an end to Lupin's life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin''': Now why don't we take time and enjoy? :'''Fujiko''': Hold on. I have to tell you something important. :'''Lupin''': Come on, come on. Why don't you? :'''Fujiko''': ''[enjoying it]'' No, no. :'''Lupin''': Come on. :'''Fujiko''': Oh, no! Help me... :''[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamo's throne room. Mamo stares at them, outraged]'' :'''Lupin''': I'm losing control... :'''Fujiko''': Ah, I'm gonna tickle you! ''[tickles Lupin]'' :'''Lupin''': I'm ticklish... ticklish! I can't take it anymore, Fujiko! ''[Fujiko knees him in the crotch]'' Fujiko. Go along with me... :'''Mamo''': ''[finally at the end of his rope]'' That's enough!! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mamo shows Lupin and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[chuckling]'' Your friends, Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' Oh, my. Guys... :'''Mamo:''' And one more person... :''[Inspector Zenigata, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning [[Laozi]] of his location]'' :'''Lupin:''' Pops, too? ''[laughs]'' Now things are getting wacky! :'''Mamo:''' The fellow he's talking to is the ancient Chinese philosopher. :'''Lupin:''' You mean a paranoid who believes he's... :'''Mamo:''' He IS the real one! :'''Lupin:''' Then he's a real nut? :''[Mamo shows them images of the people he has cloned]'' :'''Mamo:''' Listen carefully. This is my collection from the past 10,000 years. The most brilliant minds from every field... Politics, Philosophy, Religion, Art... I have held in storage. They still exist, as we speak. Have you ever thought about the end of the world? Let me prophesize: [[w:Apocalypse|the world will come to an end within the next few days]]. But only those chosen by me will continue to live... eternally. Only those who are beautiful and brilliant will be given eternal life. :'''Lupin:''' ''[apparently deep in thought]'' I see. So that's what it was... ''[chuckles, then laughs hysterically]'' :'''Mamo:''' What's so funny? :'''Lupin:''' ''[still chuckling]'' Oh, my. Your play is highly artistic. You beat me! First immortality, then the end of the world? You're awesome. Awesome! :'''Mamo:''' Ahh. This lack of intelligence, the stubbornness... Don't you see, Fujiko? This man doesn't deserve eternal life. :''[Fujiko is put off by Mamo's statement]'' :'''Mamo:''' Fujiko, only you should live forever. :'''Fujiko:''' If Lupin and I are not together, no thanks. :'''Mamo:''' Fujiko! :'''Fujiko:''' Sure. I want eternal youth. But I don't want to live long and see an old and flabby Lupin. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The gang escape on the electric boat Jigen and Goemon had arrived in with an unconscious Lupin. Zenigata gets into a rowboat thinking it's attached.]'' :'''Zenigata:''' I've already prepared for a scenario like this. ''[a different rowboat is pulled along instead]'' Huh? Damn! Stupid mistake! Then I will... ''[as he starts rowing his boat manually, the bombs dropped by Gordon and Stuckey start falling around him]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Inspector Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]'' :'''Commissioner:''' Mr. Zenigata... ''[Zenigata stops eating, surprised]'' eat slowly. Here's some pickled radish and marinated fish roe. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' I'm so sorry. I haven't eaten lately. :'''Commissioner:''' It must have been hard on you to be away from Japan for so long. You must have struggled so much with so little budget. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[upset]'' Commissioner. ''[chomps on a radish, crying]'' Commissioner. I really am so lucky to have a chief like you! :'''Commissioner:''' ''[hands him a handkerchief]'' Your nose is running... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[blows his nose]'' You've taken such good care of me, but I haven't been able to arrest Lupin! I, Zenigata, will give my life to... :'''Commissioner:''' Well, about that... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' I'll nail him! I promise! :'''Commissioner:''' You're off the case. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' Huh? :'''Commissioner:''' I've come all the way here to this God-forsaken town in Colombia to find you and order you off the Lupin case. It seems he is involved with a very important person. It's now a diplomatic affair on a global scale. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' I don't quite understand what you mean... :'''Commissioner:''' At any rate, this whole thing is way beyond us. Oh, I almost forgot. ''[hands a small document with Zenigata's name on it]'' Here's a special bonus from the Prime Minister. Wasn't your daughter's name Toshiko? She must have grown up by now. ''[chuckles]'' So let's fly back to Japan together. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' I'm the only one who can catch him! :'''Commissioner:''' Um... I know how you feel... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[shouting]'' Chief! I insist!! :'''Commissioner:''' It's an order! :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[angrily growls]'' Damn! ''[tears up the bonus, and kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]'' Then I resign, Chief! I'll go after him as a private citizen! ''[he storms out of the restaurant to the surprise of the customers]'' :'''Commissioner:''' Mr. Zenigata! :''[Inspector Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets]'' :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[narrating]'' He is definitely somewhere in South America. Lupin! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko:''' ''[referring to Mamo's promise of eternal life]'' That's awful. Everything was a lie. :'''Lupin:''' Not necessarily. I'm certain that he was doing some research on immortality. :'''Jigen:''' Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible. :'''Lupin:''' Cloning. :'''Jigen:''' Huh? What? :'''Lupin:''' It's a recently honed human-manufacturing technology. By taking a cell from someone's hair or any part of one's body, and giving it a little twist, you can create an exact look-alike. If you repeat this process, the same individual could live for an infinite length of time. :'''Jigen:''' If that is true, then the guy who was you and got executed was... :'''Lupin:''' From a single hair, you can make a copy... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' History was created by my constant interference. Do you understand? Cloning was the passage to god status. :'''Lupin:''' ''[sarcastically]'' Pretty impressive. So do you mean to say that I was born thanks to you? :'''Mamo:''' ''[condescendingly]'' You are just an accidental child born from uncertainty. Now what happened to the copy I created of you for fun, so as to make your job easier? It might be the original you who was executed... :'''Lupin:''' You bastard! I am ''me'', the original Lupin the Third! :'''Mamo:''' Think real hard... :''[He disappears, laughing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[raising his voice to a desperate yell]'' Don't go, Lupin! :'''Lupin:''' I had my dream stolen. I have to go get it back. :'''Jigen:''' Your dream is that woman? :''[Lupin turns to Jigen and smiles]'' :'''Lupin:''' You are so traditional. You really are. :''[Jigen's lips part in surprise. He stands in shock and watches Lupin go]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Yes. Even cloning has its limitations. :'''Fujiko:''' Limitations? :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' The chromosomal data transfer is never 100 percent perfect, just as repeated copying makes the image blurry. Too much repetition of the cloning is distorting the cells. When I reached the 130th generation, I preserved myself as the original by putting myself in the Ringer's Solution. Since then, I've been a copy of a copy. :'''Lupin:''' Then that makes you a defective product of Mamo. :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' Everything is for immortality. ''[dies]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' ''[seeing Lupin come towards him on the treadmill]'' You're not afraid of dying, are you? I'll tell you this: The one executed was the copy. You are, indeed, the original Lupin. Now that you have closure... die! ''[He sends a barrage of lasers at Lupin. Lupin holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]'' :'''Lupin:''' ''[in thought]'' Goemon, you saved me. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Your persistence is most admirable. Wasn't I supposed to be dead? :'''Zenigata:''' You idiot! Even if you die 100 times, that's not the point. As long as a Lupin exists, I'm obliged to pursue him. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Lupin]'' :'''Lupin:''' Aye-yi-yi. She's awful. :'''Zenigata:''' ''[laughing]'' That's how women are. :''[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over. They get up and exchange glances]'' :'''Lupin:''' Pops! :'''Zenigata:''' So, let's get away for now! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko:''' ''[watching Lupin and Zenigata retreat, anklecuffed]'' They're getting along well. :'''Jigen:''' Wherever he goes, he'll be chased. ==Dialogue - Toho/Frontier dub== :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[opening narration]'' The Coroner's Report came through on the Telex from Transylvania. They had done an autopsy and claimed that there is no doubt whatsoever that the executed man was... the real Lupin III. But... I was one detective who refused to believe it. I had to see for myself. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[laughs as he lifts the casket lid]'' Lupin! Trying to live forever, by doing the same thing as Count Dracula! You've gone too far this time; there are limits to everything! Ah! ''[stakes the corpse, which promptly explodes. As he recognizes a very alive Lupin, he screams]'' :'''Lupin:''' Mr. Ed Scott, the same old menacing detective! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' Lupin! Lupin! Don't you know you're supposed to be dead?! :'''Lupin:''' So it seems, and that's what's been troubling me. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' This man is definitely the real Lupin III! I'm positive of it! :'''Lupin:''' You make it sound simple. So, what's going to happen to me now? :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' I want to be sure you're dead! ''[swings a piece of wood at Lupin, who dodges, commencing a chase. By the time Detective Scott catches up, Lupin has already reached his escape vehicle]'' :'''Lupin:''' Old Man! You'll have to tell me all your troubles some other time! ''[takes off, chuckling]'' Take care, now! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' That bum! That rat! He's the real one, all right! So he's still alive, really and truly alive! ''[laughs]'' I won't die until I get him! I'll never give up! I'll follow you down to Hell, and I'll engrave my name on all your stupid bones! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' You think I touched it? :'''Dan Dunn:''' Not good. Let's hurry. :'''Lupin:''' How can you hurry through all this? ''[Turns on visor, showing laser lines in the way.]'' 80 centimeter width. :'''Dan Dunn:''' OK. ''[Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.]'' Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' Huh? :'''Dan Dunn:''' What about that execution? :'''Lupin:''' Well, you see, the one who they executed... was probably the real me. :'''Dan Dunn:''' I don't like to hear weird stories like that. :'''Lupin:''' Neither do I. This whole thing begins to make me think I'm not real! Anyway, I'll fix that. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' First Unit takes the south level! The Second and Third Guard Units will take the north passage! :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' Detective Scott, on what authority are you giving or...? :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[shoving his megaphone into the Egyptian police chief's face]'' You'd better have faith in my sixth sense! ''[climbs on top of the nearest vehicle]'' I know Lupin's in there! Forward! Charge! <hr width="50%" /> :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' Accept your fate, Lupin! You'll never escape from this level! Close off all exits! What are you doing standing here? Ah! Lupin is right down here! Switch on the lights! :''[as the lights turn on, Detective Scott is surprised to see the Egyptian police officers stationed there aiming guns]'' :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' Well, I see your sixth sense really did work. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' And what does this mean? :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' ''[taken aback]'' What's that? :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' Unless I give them the order, no one is to do any shooting! :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' Enough is enough! :''[the Egyptian police chief and Detective Scott start wrestling]'' :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' Interfering with the affairs of my country...! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[unintelligible]'' :''[Lupin and Dan Dunn approach on a motorcycle as the fight continues]'' :'''Egyptian Police Officer:''' It's Lupin! :''[Lupin's motorcycle knocks down some of the officers, to the surprise of Detective Scott and the Egyptian police chief, and goes up a ramp]'' :'''Egyptian Police Chief:''' There goes Lupin! Fire! FIRE! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[shoves the Egyptian police chief aside with a triumphant laugh]'' You're trapped, Lupin! That's the only passage leading up! :''[As the motorcycle continues up the passage, Dan Dunn nearly loses his fedora]'' :'''Lupin:''' You sure are the classic type. Why don't you take that hat off for a change? :'''Dan Dunn:''' Don't be silly! I can't take the hat off, it happens to be my trademark! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Samurai, don't scare me. :'''Don Samurai:''' Hurry up. :''[Lupin and Dan Dunn notice the Egyptian officers climbing up the side of the pyramid and closing in]'' :'''Lupin:''' Hohohoho!

The soft breeze of Paris must have melted my callous heart. ''[smells the rose]'' I thought I made myself extremely conspicuous tonight. :'''Margo:''' ''[chuckling]'' I can see that. You look very nice. :'''Lupin:''' O, the fragrant flower! You are like a rose. :'''Margo:''' How old-fashioned! :'''Lupin:''' Even the pain of thy thorns gives great pleasure... to the love in my heart. O Margo! :'''Margo:''' Enough of that stupid act.

How come you got all enthusiastic so suddenly? Ah, life is a bore. How worthless and stupid it all is! Talking Dan Dunn into helping me, and going through all kinds of trouble to get it, and look at your attitude! Or maybe, Margo, you made some kind of a deal with somebody else for this? Well, the deal was not to ask you questions, but now you must keep your part of the deal and keep your date with me. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lupin had just gotten out of the bathtub after his encounter with Margo goes supposedly awry]'' :'''Lupin:''' She sure floored me that time!

You men have always been working together with that thief Lupin! ''[Dan hands him Margo’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts] '' What is this? :'''Dan Dunn:''' A clue to find Lupin. It’s written by Lupin's double-crossing girlfriend, and it reads "water". :'''Gordon:''' What does that mean? :'''Dan Dunn:''' If I knew that, neither of us'd be here! :'''Gordon:''' ''[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Dan Dunn backwards] '' Stop kidding me! '' [grabs Dan by his shirt] '' There are many ways that we can torture you! :'''Dan Dunn:''' Is that the way you operate democracy?! Well, then, I've got news for you! :'''Gordon:''' What news? :'''Dan Dunn:''' I ''was'' a fan of [[Marilyn Monroe]] and [[Humphrey Bogart]]... but not anymore! :'''Gordon:''' Why, you...! :'''Gissinger:''' Gordon! These two, they know nothing. ''[whispers to Gordon, who opens a door]'' We will approach this problem from a different angle. You will be released immediately. :'''Gordon:''' Be grateful to democracy! ''[closes the door]'' :'''Dan Dunn:''' ''[straightening his jacket]'' Hm...

You never know these days... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamaux:''' And are you looking for something? :'''Lupin:''' You're the head doctor? I'd like to find the host of this party. :'''Mamaux:''' ''[laughs]'' This is not a mental hospital, and we are not having a costume ball, either. These are all the actual people, just as you see them here, Lupin. ''[turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified]'' I am Mamo. I now have the Wiseman Stone. :'''Lupin:''' You're Margo's client? :'''Mamaux:''' The reason I didn't take the Stone personally was that I wanted to know ''you''. I'm satisfied with the result. You are the greatest thief on the face of the Earth. :'''Lupin:''' I already know that, but I'm not working for you, and I never will! :'''Mamaux:''' I haven't forgotten your compensation. I intend to give you the greatest gift of eternal life. :'''Lupin:''' Oh, come off it! There's nothing good about living so long, you degenerated kid! :'''Mamaux:''' I do feel sorry for your foolish extra-un-ordinary conceptions. :'''Lupin:''' Stop using those big words! Just give me back the stone! ''[charges at Mamaux and almost falls off the platform]'' :'''Mamaux:''' ''[laughs]'' Don't be so timid now. :'''Lupin:''' Damn! ''[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]'' This trick with the hard glass is old stuff now! Just give me the... ''[falls screaming through an invisible hole and makes a hard landing on his rear end]'' Ouch, that smarts! ''[gets up as Mamo cackles at him]'' Where are you, Mamaux? This time, you got me really angry, you know! I'LL FIX YOU! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Detective Scott:''' Even if I have to disguise myself as an oyster, I'm determined to put an end to Lupin. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Ah, it's time for us to have a little fun! :'''Margo:''' No, wait, you! I've got something to tell you. :'''Lupin:''' Come on, you don't mind, do you? The time is ripe. :'''Margo:''' ''[enjoying it]'' No! :'''Lupin:''' Darling... :'''Margo:''' No! Someone help me... :''[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamaux's throne room. Mamaux stares at them, outraged]'' :'''Lupin:''' Oh, I don't think it's possible to behave now! ''[Margo tickles Lupin]'' Oh, that's ticklish! Oh, I've gotten to the point of no return, Margo! You've got to do something! ''[Margo knees him in the crotch]'' Do something, Margo, come on! :'''Mamaux:''' ''[finally at the end of his rope]'' NOW, BOTH OF YOU STOP IT! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mamaux shows Lupin and Margo surveillance footage of Dan Dunn and Don Samurai]'' :'''Mamaux:''' ''[chuckling]'' I believe your friends have arrived. :'''Lupin:''' Oh, it's them! :'''Mamaux:''' And one more person... :''[Detective Scott, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning [[Laozi]] of his location]'' :'''Lupin:''' Even the old shamus! ''[laughs]'' This is getting crazier and crazier! :'''Mamaux:''' The man who's entertaining him right now is an ancient Chinese philosopher. :'''Lupin:''' You mean he’s paranoiac and thinks he is... :'''Mamaux:''' No, he's the real one! :'''Lupin:''' You mean a real nut? :''[Mamaux shows them images of the people he has cloned]'' :'''Mamaux:''' Listen carefully. It took me 10,000 years to collect them. Politics, religion, philosophy, art. I preserved the most brilliant men in history from every field, and right now they still exist here. Have you ever thought about the end of the world? Well, here's a prophecy: in but a few more days, [[w:Apocalypse|the world will come to an end]]. Only those chosen by me will live... for eternity. Only... beautiful and superior things can obtain eternal life from me. :'''Lupin:''' ''[apparently deep in thought]'' Now I get it. So that's it... ''[chuckles, then laughs hysterically]'' :'''Mamaux:''' What's so funny?! :'''Lupin:''' ''[still chuckling]'' Oh, very artistic and original drama! I give you credit! The gift of eternal life, followed by the destruction of the world! Oh, that's very good! :'''Mamaux:''' Ah, how ignorant and stubborn he is! You see what I mean, Margo? This man does not have the type of brain that should live throughout eternity. :''[Margo is put off by Mamaux's statement]'' :'''Mamaux:''' Margo, it will only be you who will have eternal life. :'''Margo:''' Well, if I can't be with Lupin, then I don't want it. :'''Mamaux:''' Margo! :'''Margo:''' Oh, I'd like to have eternal youth... but I don't want to stay around and see Lupin as a shrivelled-up old man. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The gang escape on the electric boat Dan Dunn and Don Samurai had arrived in with an unconscious Lupin.

Have some pickled radishes. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' Thank you for bringing me here, but couldn't we have gone somewhere and had a steak? :'''Commissioner:''' Well, I thought that this would be a... special treat for you. On your expense account, you could never go to a restaurant like this! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[upset]'' Yah! ''[chomps on a radish, crying]'' Commissioner! I am... I really am... fortunate... to have a chief like you! :'''Commissioner:''' ''[hands him a handkerchief]'' Your nose is running. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[blows his nose]'' I'm sorry, being treated so kindly by you, and not being able to catch Lupin... but I'll get him, even if it costs my life! :'''Commissioner:''' Well, about that... :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' I'll get that thief! :'''Commissioner:''' No, forget about him. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' Wha...? :'''Commissioner:''' The reason I came such a long way to this little town in Colombia... was to order you to stop pursuing Lupin. He's got something to do with a very important man now. It's international... no, it... concerns the whole universe! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' I'm afraid... I don't quite get what you mean. :'''Commissioner:''' Well, anyway, the Lupin case is way above our level. Oh, that's right!

''[chuckles]'' You've been a way for a long time now, and your daughter has grown up. Now I came to take you back home with me. :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' I happen to be the only one who can capture Lupin. :'''Commissioner:''' Oh... well, I appreciate how you feel... :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[shouting]'' Commissioner, I won't give up! :'''Commissioner:''' That's an order! :'''Detective Ed Scott:''' ''[angrily growls]'' Damn!

You know that's impossible. :'''Lupin:''' A clone, you know. :'''Dan Dunn:''' Oh, a clone! :'''Lupin:''' It's a scientific method used to make an exact copy of a human being. They only need a single hair; anyway, all they need is one cell to fiddle around with; to make a perfect look-alike.

So my being born was also some of your doing? :'''Mamaux:''' ''[chuckles]'' You are nothing but an animal given birth by an absurdity! And to help make your work easier for you, I made an exact copy of you - and I wonder what happened to it? The man who was executed could have been the original Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' Don't talk stupid!

As you repeat the copying process, the image begins to fade... the endless clone chain reaction has been disturbing the cell system. For 130 generations, I have preserved my original body in all its exact detail by floating it in a special Ringer's Solution. Since then, my bodies have all been copies of a copy. :'''Lupin:''' You mean that... you're an inferior quality Mamaux? :'''Older Mamaux Clone:''' All this is for the sake of immortality...

''[Gives Lupin a 80 centimeter bar.]'' Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' What now? :'''Jigen:''' So who was that guy they hanged in Transylvania anyway? :'''Lupin:''' Well, it was me. That's what all the evidence says. He had my DNA, my fingerprints, everything. :'''Jigen:''' I hate hearing weird stuff like that. :'''Lupin:''' You and me both.

Isn't it, Boris? :'''Boris:''' Oh... why, yes it is. Of course! But who is this madman? :'''Mamo:''' If I may, gentlemen... I am Mamo. ''[Gissinger stops the tape]'' :'''Gissinger:''' The first two voices will remain unidentified. They are of no concern. What we want is the identity of the man who broke in on their top-secret conversation... this blackmailer who calls himself "Mamo". ''[he fast-forwards part of the tape, and continues playing]'' :'''Mamo:''' That's right – Mamo. Some have called me a [[prophet]]; others, a [[God]]. :'''Boris:''' That is lunacy! :'''US President:''' That's an understatement. You can't believe that we'll go along with this. :'''Mamo:''' You have no choice! [[brain|I know every move you make before you know it yourselves]]. Why, I even know about that little floozy you keep in the steno pool, Mr. President. How would you like the world to find out about her? :'''US President:''' Oh... how dare you! :'''Boris:''' Floozy? What ''is'' this floozy? ''[Gordon stops the tape]'' :'''Jigen:''' Aw... just when it was gettin' good. :'''Gissinger:''' The rest of it is immaterial. All that matters is reason to believe that this Mamo character is quite serious in his intentions. :'''Jigen:''' No kiddin'. '' [lights a cigarette] '' You haven’t said... what any of this has to do with us. :'''Gissinger:''' Don’t be silly. We know your friend Lupin stole some objects at this fellow's request, and that you were with him when he did. Now, then... tell me everything you know about this Mamo person! :'''Jigen:''' Hey, you guys know more about him than I do. :'''Gordon:''' Okay, stop playing games, ya lousy beatnik! We know you're in this with Lupin up to your necks, so start coming clean! ''[Jigen hands him Fujiko's clue to Lupin's whereabouts] '' Hm? What the hell's this? :'''Jigen:''' It's a clue, Sherlock. His double-crossing girlfriend wrote it and dropped it out of a plane. It says "water". :'''Gordon:''' ''[annoyed]'' Yeah, I can read. :'''Jigen:''' I'm impressed. You're clearly overqualified for your job. Next, they'll be hiring guys who can think... :'''Gordon:''' ''[Growling angrily, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Jigen backwards. He grabs Jigen by his shirt]'' Listen! We have ways of getting you to talk! :'''Jigen:''' Is this the way the US Government treats folks?! Well, I got news for you, Charlie! :'''Gordon:''' Yeah?! What's that? :'''Jigen:''' I've always believed in my patriotic duty to buy US savings bonds, but I never will again! :'''Gordon:''' You pencil-necked little pisshead! :'''Gissinger:''' Gordon! It is obvious that these two know nothing. ''[mutters with Gordon, who opens a door]'' It appears we shall have to approach this problem from a different angle. In the meantime, gentlemen, you are both free to go. :'''Gordon:''' You two clowns better watch your step! ''[closes the door]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[straightening his jacket]'' Yeah. Right back atcha, ya big ape. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Excuse me, officer... ''[freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face, then bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic]'' Heil, mein Führer! ''[relaxes after Hitler passes him by]'' First Napoleon, then Hitler? It's gotta be a dream, 'cause none of it's true. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Looking for something? :'''Lupin:''' Yeah, whoever's in charge of this loony bin. What is this, Costume Day for the inmates? :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' Such wit. This is neither an insane asylum nor a masquerade ball. Those particular individuals you have met are not imitations, Lupin, but the real thing. ''[turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified]'' Oh, yes. I know who you are. And in case you haven't guessed who I am, I am Mamo. :'''Lupin:''' Yeah, you're Fujiko's boss. :'''Mamo:''' I hired her to bring me the Philosopher's Stone, and now at last it's mine, no thanks to you. Still, I wanted to meet you; you ''are'' the greatest thief on the face of the Earth. :'''Lupin:''' Gee, tell me something I don't know. Look, I'm not working for you, if that's what you have in mind. :'''Mamo:''' Actually, I've been thinking about your compensation for the Stone, and I've decided to give you the greatest gift of all: eternal life. :'''Lupin:''' How thrilling. But, if you don't mind, I'd rather you just gave me back the Stone, you little wacko. :'''Mamo:''' The prophet is always regarded as a madman by those too backwards to see the truth. :'''Lupin:''' Well, then you must be getting used to it by now. Come on, hand it over! ''[charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]'' :'''Mamo:''' Men like you never trust what they cannot see. :'''Lupin:''' Oh, yeah? ''[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]'' OK, pal, enough with the sight gags! ''[falls screaming through an invisible hole, makes a hard landing on his rear end, and gets up as Mamo cackles at him]'' YOU'RE A LUNATIC! YOU SAID IT YOURSELF: I'M THE GREATEST THIEF ON EARTH! I'LL GET THAT STONE! COUNT ON IT! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zenigata''': That thief can't get away from me. I'll track him down, even if I have to play nursemaid to a barnacle to do it. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin''': Now, where were we? ''[He growls seductively]'' :'''Fujiko''': Whoa, there, tiger. This is no time for that. :'''Lupin''': Aw, baby, how can you say that? You're here... I'm here... :'''Fujiko''': ''[enjoying it]'' Stop it now. :'''Lupin''': It's kismet! :'''Fujiko''': Come on. This floor is freezing. :''[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamo's throne room. Mamo stares at them, outraged]'' :'''Lupin''': I can't help it. There's something about an elevator. Must be the up-and-down motion. I lose all self-control. ''[Fujiko tickles him]'' Don't do that. Don't get me wrong. ''[Fujiko knees him in the crotch]'' It's your mind I love. :'''Mamo''': ''[finally at the end of his rope]'' All right, you two, that's quite enough of that! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mamo shows Lupin and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon]'' :'''Mamo:''' Ah. Must be friends of yours, if I'm not mistaken. :'''Lupin:''' Yeah, we've crossed paths a couple of times. :'''Mamo:''' And what's more, there's somebody else... :''[Detective Zenigata, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning [[Laozi]] of his location]'' :'''Lupin:''' Zenigata! ''[laughs]'' Well, he sure is persistent. I'll give him that. :'''Mamo:''' The person he's talking to is Laozi, the ancient Chinese philosopher. :'''Lupin:''' You mean a paranoid schizophrenic who thinks he's Laoz... :'''Mamo:''' No, he's the real one! :'''Lupin:''' You mean a real nut... am I right? :''[Mamo shows them images of the people he has cloned]'' :'''Mamo:''' I have populated my island with the most brilliant men and women in history. Geniuses from every field–politics, philosophy, religion, art. It has taken me 10,000 years to collect them all. Superior, every one! This thriving community will live on here even after [[w:Apocalypse|the rest of the world has gone up in smoke]], a development which I regrettably foresee happening in the next day or two. Only those fortunate few chosen by me for their brilliance, or their beauty, will survive the coming cataclysm and be assured of immortality. :'''Lupin:''' ''[apparently deep in thought]'' Brilliant. It's so simple... ''[chuckles, then laughs hysterically]'' :'''Mamo:''' You laugh?! :'''Lupin:''' ''[still chuckling]'' When it comes to wackos, you take the cake, Pee-Wee! A post-apocalyptic country club? Now I think I've heard everything! :'''Mamo:''' Look at this man, Fujiko! This is the man you want to spend the rest of eternity with? This ignorant fool who laughs like a hyena at his own impending doom? :''[Fujiko is put off by Mamo's statement]'' :'''Lupin:''' ''[annoyed]'' Okay, there's no need to get personal. :'''Mamo:''' I refuse to grant the gift of immortality to one so unworthy! :'''Fujiko:''' Well, if that's the way you want to be, you can just count me out, too! :'''Mamo:''' Fujiko! :'''Fujiko:''' What's the point of being forever young and lovely?

''[as he starts rowing his boat manually, the bombs dropped by Gordon and Gissinger start falling around him]'' Oh sh... ''[He panics and dives into the water. As shells fall around him, he clings to one, squealing like a little girl]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Detective Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]'' :'''Commissioner:''' Slow down, Zenigata! :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[stops eating, surprised]'' Hm? :'''Commissioner:''' Don't make yourself sick, my boy! Have some more pickled radish. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' I appreciate the meal, chief, but couldn't we have found a place that served steak and potatoes? :'''Commissioner:''' No, I wanted to give you a real treat--something special. On your salary, you'd never be able to afford a place like this. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[upset]'' You're right... ''[sniffs, then chomps on a radish, crying]'' I don't deserve this! Commissioner... I really am... so lucky... to have a chief like you! ''[breaks down in tears]'' :'''Commissioner:''' ''[hands him a handkerchief]'' Stiff upper lip. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[blows his nose]'' You're a real prince, treating me to dinner like this even after I let that lousy thief get away! But I haven't given up, sir, I'll catch him! :'''Commissioner:''' Oh, well, about that…... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' I'll nail him, chief! :'''Commissioner:''' You're off the case. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' Huh? :'''Commissioner:''' Nothing personal. Actually... we're dropping the whole business. That's why I came to this Godforsaken town in Colombia – to find you and order you off the Lupin case. It seems our boy's involved with some pretty important people. It's a diplomatic affair, now... a lot bigger than you and me, Detective. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' Would you repeat that? I think I'm still a little soggy. :'''Commissioner:''' The Lupin case is finished. You got that? Forget about him. Oh! One more thing. ''[hands a small document with Zenigata’s name on it]'' A little something in the way of a bonus for all your efforts. Oh, you'll be happy to get home after all this time, eh! Your daughter's all grown up. Well, your plane leaves in a couple of hours. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' With all due respect, sir, I'm the only one who can catch him! :'''Commissioner:''' I know how you feel... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[shouting]'' Chief, you can't do this! :'''Commissioner:''' Wait a moment, now! It’s an order! :''[Detective Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus. He kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]'' :'''Detective Zenigata:''' Well, now it's confetti!

Come back here at once! :''[Detective Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets]'' :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[narrating]'' I'm absolutely positive he's hiding here... somewhere in South America! They ''always'' end up ''somewhere'' in South America... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko:''' '' [referring to Mamo's promise of eternal life]'' So he's just another rich, dirty old man. It was all lies. :'''Lupin:''' Not completely. Maybe the guy has found the secret of immortality... :'''Jigen:''' Yeah, right. Don’t tell me you believe that rubbish. :'''Lupin:''' He's a clone. :'''Jigen:''' Say what? :'''Lupin:''' C'mon, he has to be. It's the only possibility that makes sense! All you need is a single cell from a living thing in order to make a clone, or perfect copy, of it. And if you repeated the process, over and over, that thing, whatever it is, could conceivably go on living forever and ever! :'''Jigen:''' If this is for real, did you ever think that maybe that guy they hanged in Transylvania… :'''Lupin:''' Wasn't me after all, but a clone of me, yeah! That would certainly explain things! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo''': Do you understand now? It's ironic; in making myself immortal, I made myself into a god. :'''Lupin''': Give me a break, will ya? What's all that supposed to mean? That you created me as well? In your dreams. :'''Mamo''': Not one of my proudest accomplishments, I have to admit. I also created a perfect clone of you. And we know what happened to him. Or perhaps you are he? It's possible the real Lupin died on that gibbet in Transylvania. :'''Lupin''': Oh, I'm the real one, all right. The genuine article. Don't you worry! :'''Mamo''': We'll never be absolutely sure, will we? :''[He disappears, laughing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[firmly]'' You're not going, Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' He stole something that belongs to me. Now I want it back. :'''Jigen:''' All this because of some damn woman. :'''Lupin:''' Buddy, I feel sorry for you. You're completely hopeless. :''[Jigen's lips part in surprise. He stands in shock as he watches Lupin go]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Yes. Even a clone has its limitations. :'''Fujiko:''' It does? :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' The transfer of chromosomal data is never 100% complete. There are always imperfections, unnoticeable at first, but as the cloning is repeated age after age, these distortions become more pronounced. Despite all my efforts, once my original form began to decay, I had to make second generation clones, and then third, and then fourth. What you see is a copy of a copy of a copy. :'''Lupin:''' So you've degenerated into an inferior Mamo. :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' Eternity... is a long time. ''[dies]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo''': ''[seeing Lupin come towards him on the treadmill]'' Feeling suicidal, are we? I don't blame you. Just to show there are no hard feelings, I will tell you. It ''was'' your clone they hanged in Transylvania. So you're the real Lupin. Now, you may die with peace of mind. :''[Laughing maniacally, he sends beams of lasers to home in on Lupin. Lupin holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the beams back at Mamo]'' :'''Lupin''': ''[in thought]'' Goemon, I owe you one. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin''': I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I'm just a clone. The real Lupin was hanged back in Transylvania. :'''Zenigata''': Cork it! As long as there's even one of you running around, calling himself the greatest thief on Earth... that's one too many. So don't think you can talk your way out of this one, you little rat. I gotcha! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Lupin]'' :'''Lupin''': Thanks a bunch. :'''Zenigata''': Well! Man, I tell you, pal, they're all alike! :''[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over. They get up and exchange glances]'' :'''Lupin''': Whaddaya say? :'''Zenigata''': Mm-hmm. Let's get out of here! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko''': ''[watching Lupin and Zenigata retreat, anklecuffed]'' Nice to see the two of them getting along. :'''Jigen''': Yeah, just as long as those handcuffs hold him. ==Dialogue - Manga UK dub== :'''Coroner:''' ''[typed out]'' Police Report...... :After a recent crime wave the Transylvanian Police :have brought to justice a criminal of immense standing.. :After a Coroner's Report it has been :confirmed :that there is no doubt that the man we executed was the real Wolf III... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[opening narration]'' The Coroner's Report came through from Transylvania on the Telex.

Yeah, of course you didn't give little Wolf the eye! OK, so I'm not Keanu Reeves, and I'm not some Latin gigolo in a smooth silk suit - I'm just your average thief, that's all! ''[He finishes the last of the food, throws down the pan and grabs a hatchet]'' Well, that big bad Wolf's got feelings. Let me in little piggy, or I'll blow your house in! ''[He slashes at Fujiko's bedroom door and breaks it down, then springs into her room, throws off cover and jumps straight out of his underwear, diving up and over in an arc at Fujiko]'' Here I come! ''[As he goes in for the landing, he finds himself getting woozy. He lands on the ground beside Fujiko, completely nude. Fujiko gently shakes him]'' :'''Fujiko:''' Wolf? Are you OK? ''[She realizes he's fast asleep and picks up the medicine bottle]'' The stuff I put in your food must've been stronger than I thought. ''[Wolf snores softly. Fujiko takes a transmitter out of her bra and turns it on]'' I'm doing all this for your own good, Wolfie baby. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jigen:''' ''[threatening Gordon]'' You ain't called Flinch, by any chance? :'''Gordon:''' You think that name would suit me, riff? Gordon's more my style, but I don't think Jigen's really yours. :'''Jigen:''' Hey, watch your mouth! I'm kinda used to Jigen! :''[American soldiers surround Jigen and reveal they have apprehended Goemon]'' :'''Jigen:''' Hi there, guys. :'''Gordon:''' ''[takes Jigen's gun]'' That's right, so don't give us any trouble, OK? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jigen:''' So, this is how Uncle Sam keeps the world safe for democracy. :'''Goemon:''' All military might is an illusion. :'''Jigen:''' Well, those planes look pretty real to me. :'''Gordon:''' Attention! This is Special Presidential Adviser, Mr. Gissinger. ''[he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds] '' :'''Goemon:''' What's special about him? :'''Jigen:''' Have you heard his accent? Apart from that, he masterminds the world's number-one big bang show. ''[Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between the US President and the Secretary General]'' :'''Secretary General:''' Mr. President. I want your assurance that the CIA is not responsible – I am being blackmailed. :'''US President:''' Eh, how's that, Mr. Secretary? :'''Secretary General:''' I am to hand over all secret technical data on biochemistry, cytology and gene technology. If I refuse, my country will suffer a nuclear attack! :'''US President:''' Hey, I've been threatened the same way. And to prove they're serious, they’ve already destroyed several of our communication satellites. :'''Secretary General:''' Well, it was not us, Mr. President. :'''US President:''' I know that, Mr. Secretary. You couldn't hit one of our satellites if you tried. :'''Secretary General:''' Now, wait! Only... :'''US President:''' Choke on your borscht. The important thing is – to find out who's behind this. :'''Mamo:''' I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. ''[Gissinger stops the tape]'' :'''Gissinger:''' I cannot reveal who the first voices we heard belong to, but it's the third voice, which is obviously the blackmailer's, that I am interested in, who broke in on this secure hotline conversation. ''[he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]'' :'''Mamo:''' I shall tell you. It is I, Mamo. The greatest [[brain|intellect]] in the history of the world. Some call me a [[prophet]]; you may address me as [[God]]. :'''Secretary General:''' God?! You must be insane! :'''US President:''' Eh, if you're God, I gotta tell you, your requests are pretty unoriginal, not to say, venial. :'''Mamo:''' Request? I'm giving you and order! And if you care about mainstream, cherry pie and ''[[w:Dynasty (TV series)|Dynasty]]'' as you always say, you'll jump to it! ''[Gordon stops the tape]'' :'''Jigen:''' Go on. :'''Gissinger:''' No. You do not have security clearance A-14, without which the material is too sensitive to be communicated to you at this moment in time. :'''Jigen:''' That's tough. ''[lights a cigarette]'' But I don’t see... where the two of us come in. :'''Gissinger:''' Mamo's established positive links with the criminal named "Wolf", an associate of yours. I need him. He will lead me to this imposter who pretends to be God! :'''Jigen:''' Hey, I wish I could help you, only... :'''Gordon:''' Grr... I’m not putting up with crap like that! We got information which says you and Wolf have been partners for years! ''[Jigen hands him Fujiko’s clue to Wolf’s whereabouts] '' So, what’s this? :'''Jigen:''' That's for you guys to work out. It was written by Wolf's double-crossing girlfriend. Nothing else I can tell you. :'''Gordon:''' Water's all it says... :'''Jigen:''' Boy, if you're that on the ball, you'll solve this case in no time! :'''Gordon:''' ''[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Gissinger and Jigen backwards] '' Don't mess me around! '' [grabs Jigen by his shirt] '' Listen! We got ways of making you talk. :'''Jigen:''' C’mon, riff, shouldn’t that be his line? If this is democracy, I've had it. :'''Gordon:''' Huh? Not yet. :'''Jigen:''' I used to be a great [[Humphrey Bogart|Bogie]] fan, and [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]], [[w:James Dean|Dean]] and [[Marilyn Monroe|Marilyn]]... but now, I resign! :'''Gordon:''' So, you really ''are'' anti-American...! :'''Gissinger:''' Gordon! Restrain your quite mental outrage. ''[whispers to Gordon]'' Let's use a more subtle psychological approach. ''[Gordon opens a door]'' We are convinced you are telling the truth and that you know nothing. We have therefore decided that we will let you go. :'''Gordon:''' God bless America and democracy! ''[closes the door]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[straightening his jacket]'' This means I needn't give up Bogie! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wolf:''' Excuse me, could you tell me the way to... ''[freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face]'' Waterloo? ''[bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic]'' Heil Schicklgruber! ''[relaxes after Hitler passes him by]'' Interesting. A bit frightening, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Are you looking for someone? :'''Wolf:''' Are you the head shrink? I'd like to meet whoever's hosting this party. :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' This is not a hospital, and it's not a costume ball, either. The people you've met, Wolf, are actually the people you've met. ''[turns to Wolf, revealing himself. Wolf gapes, horrified]'' My name is Mamo. Yes, I know who you are, and Fujiko no doubt mentioned me to you. :'''Wolf:''' So then you're Fujiko's boss? :'''Mamo:''' I now have the Wiseman Stone, but the reason I employed you to steal it rather than doing so myself is that I love seeing excellence at work. Congratulations on being the world's finest thief! :'''Wolf:''' Hell, I knew that all along. But I wasn't working for you, and I'm not going to! :'''Mamo:''' But I have an offer in mind, which I think you will not be able to refuse: an offer not of money, but of everlasting life. :'''Wolf:''' Will you give me an advance? Listen, I've been around much too long to believe that kind of bullshit. :'''Mamo:''' If that is how you respond, it seems that granting this boon to you would be a total waste. :'''Wolf:''' Ah, shucks, why don't you give me the Stone back and call it quits, OK? ''[charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' Eternal life would have advantages. :'''Wolf:''' ''[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]'' Who needs it to walk on glass, huh? ''[falls screaming through an invisible hole, makes a hard landing on his rear end, and gets up as Mamo cackles at him]'' GO AHEAD AND LAUGH, MAMO, BUT YOU'VE GOT ME REAL MAD NOW, WHICH IS A DANGEROUS THING TO DO TO ME! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zenigata:''' Even if I have to disguise myself as a limpet, I'm determined to finish Wolf. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wolf:''' Now, where were we? :'''Fujiko:''' No, wait! I've got something I want to say. :'''Wolf:''' Nothing like an elevator shaft to turn me on! :'''Fujiko:''' ''[enjoying it]'' No, Wolf, please stop! :'''Wolf:''' Come on! :'''Fujiko:''' If you don't stop it, I may scream! ''[does that]'' :''[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamo's throne room. Mamo stares at them, outraged]'' :'''Fujiko:''' Oh dear, I don't think anyone heard! What shall I do? :'''Wolf:''' Oh, let me have a little nibble just there! :'''Fujiko:''' No. ''[tickles Wolf]'' :'''Wolf:''' Oh, your neck's oh so kissable! :'''Fujiko:''' ''[knees Wolf in the crotch]'' Oh, my... ''[unintelligible]'' :'''Wolf:''' ''[unintelligible]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[finally at the end of his rope]'' Ew, this is puke-inducing! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mamo shows Wolf and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[chuckling]'' Your friends have foolishly followed you here. :'''Wolf:''' Hey!

''[laughs]'' The plot's thickening up very nicely! :'''Mamo:''' He's cornered one of the greatest philosophers in the history of the world. :'''Wolf:''' You mean some paranoid nut who thinks he is... :'''Mamo:''' No I don't, he's real! :'''Wolf:''' You mean a real nut? :''[Mamo shows them images of the people he has cloned]'' :'''Mamo:''' Try to listen carefully and see if your poor brain can grasp that I've gathered the most brilliant men in history; from the fields of art, religion, philosophy and politics here! Not as some sort of conjuring trick, but an actual fact! Another thought that might let your poor brain boggle is that nothing is permanent, and even the world will one day be a mere glitch in the memory of [[God]], who made all living beings. That time is near! Within one or two weeks, [[w:Apocalypse|the world will end not with a whimper... but with a bang]]. Only people who are beautiful or mentally superior will live beyond it – those ''I'' choose! :'''Wolf:''' ''[apparently deep in thought]'' Oh, boy... this poor brain's in pain. ''[chuckles, then laughs hysterically]'' :'''Mamo:''' What's so funny?! :'''Lupin:''' ''[still chuckling]'' I gotta give you top marks for thinking up such a brilliant plotline! You get life forever, but nowhere left to live it in! Oh, yes, I like it! :'''Mamo:''' You may think mockery is clever, but it merely makes you look like a blinkered imbecile! Well, Fujiko? Do you see how little he deserves the attention of a girl as beautiful and intelligent as you? :''[Fujiko is put off by Mamo's statement]'' :'''Mamo:''' He shall not live eternally as I intend that you shall. :'''Fujiko:''' I’m sorry, but if Wolf's not in the deal, I’m not interested. :'''Mamo:''' Fujiko! :'''Fujiko:''' Sure, I'd like a slice of eternal youth... but I wouldn't want to spend it watching him going bald and clutching a Zimmer frame! <hr width="50%"/> :''[The gang escape on the electric boat Jigen and Goemon had arrived in with an unconscious Wolf.

Way out of your league! It's very expensive, and on your pathetic expenses... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[upset]'' Yeah, I know! ''[chomps on a radish, crying]'' God, I'm really grateful, but I'm hungry as well! I appreciate... everything... that you're doing... but Wolf got away! ''[breaks down in tears]'' :'''Commissioner:''' ''[hands him a handkerchief]'' Stop that. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[blows his nose]'' I mean, I don't deserve pickled radishes, peas and arsenic, or ants on a bed of cornflowers! I'll find him though, Commissioner! :'''Commissioner:''' Since you mentioned it... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' I'll get that creep! :'''Commissioner:''' Oh no, you won't. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' Huh? :'''Commissioner:''' Zenigata, the reason I brought you to this Japanese restaurant, Colombia, was to tell you that the Wolf File is closed. I've been warned off by an important person in person. This case now has international, and quite possibly, interplanetary ramifications. I hope I make myself clear. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' I don't get it. This case is all I live for! :'''Commissioner:''' Come on, there are other hobbies for an experienced cop like you. But, we decided you... ''[hands a small document with Zenigata's name on it]'' earned yourself a little bonus for dedication to duty. ''[chuckles]'' You've been away from home a long while, and I was told – your wife's suing for divorce. So I'm here to take you back home. :'''Detective Zenigata:''' But Commissioner, no one can catch Wolf, except me! :'''Commissioner:''' Sure. I know how you feel, son... :'''Detective Zenigata:''' ''[shouting]'' I refuse to give up! :'''Commissioner:''' Don't you yell at me! That was an order! :''[Detective Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus. He kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]'' :'''Detective Zenigata:''' I resign as of now!

Everything he said was a lie! :'''Wolf:''' Not everything. He could have found a way to live on forever... :'''Jigen:''' Knock it off, Wolf. How's that possible? :'''Wolf:''' By cloning himself. :'''Jigen:''' What? :'''Wolf:''' A biological copy. Scientists can make replicas of any human. All they need is a single hair; one single cell to mess around with. They can make a perfect look-alike. And if they go on doing it... e presto! Immortality! :'''Jigen:''' I wonder if might have been a clone that was strung up by the Transylvanians. :'''Wolf:''' That's a question I've been puzzling over, though I don't remember losing any of my hair... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' The whole of history is nothing more than the sum of my whim! They built a bridge to God, then they ''became'' God! :'''Wolf:''' You're quite a fella! I suppose that makes you responsible for me being here? :'''Mamo:''' ''[chuckles]'' Why, I've had more important things keeping me occupied, I assure you. You're just an animal form without a special reason. Oh, I did make a clone of you, though I rather lost track of it. It is possible it was hanged - or was that, in fact, the original? :'''Wolf:''' No, it wasn't! The original's right here! This is the real, live, original Wolf! :'''Mamo:''' You ''could'' be right, but can you be sure? :''[He disappears, laughing]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jigen tries to prevent Wolf from confronting Mamo]'' :'''Jigen:''' Hold it right there! :'''Wolf:''' Y'know, Jigen... a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Mamo stole my dream. :'''Jigen:''' Even the Samurai couldn't put it better. But I'm not going with you. :'''Wolf:''' I'll be better off alone. I think it's a one-man job. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' So... it seems even clones have their limitations. :'''Fujiko:''' Like what? :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' The passing of chromosome information, I must acknowledge, has not been 100% complete. With each copy, the clarity fades slightly, almost imperceptibly. The endless clone chain reaction disturbs the cells. Over 130 generations, I produced copies and still more copies, and each time the result was lacking in some strand I'd achieved in the previous one... till I am what you see before you. :'''Wolf:''' You mean you've become a pretty poor specimen by now. :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' The price is high... to buy eternal life. ''[dies]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' ''[seeing Wolf come towards him on the treadmill]'' You don't fear death, I see. I cannot but admire that, and so I shall tell you that it was your clone who was hanged, and ''you'' are the original. Now, die with peace of mind. ''[He sends a barrage of lasers at Wolf. Wolf holds up the tip of the Zantetsuken and deflects the lasers back at him]'' :'''Wolf:''' ''[in thought]'' Samurai, you saved my life. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Wolf:''' You're persistent, I've got to admit. You never believed I was hanged and buried back there in Transylvania. :'''Zenigata:''' Hell no! Did you really think I'd fall for a silly little trick like getting yourself hanged? You've got a couple of lessons to learn about how a dedicated detective goes to work! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Wolf]'' :'''Wolf''': How did she double-cross me? :'''Zenigata''': ''[laughing]'' Well, what else would you expect? :''[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over. They get up and exchange glances]'' :'''Wolf''': RUN FOR IT! :'''Zenigata''': Mm-hmm. All together now! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko''': ''[watching Wolf and Zenigata retreat, anklecuffed]'' They seem to have become really close friends! :'''Jigen''': He's never happier than when he can outsmart some cop. ==Dialogue - Phuuz/Geneon dub== :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[chuckles as he lifts the casket lid]'' Give it a rest, Lupin, will ya?

I heard that rumor, too. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' Huh!

Look, I'm just gonna spit it out. There's no other possible explanation. Somebody had to have tipped them off, and there's only one person that that can be. This is it, man; you're just gonna have to choose between us and her! :'''Lupin:''' Aw, c'mon, Jigen... :'''Goemon:''' No, he’s right. Bad enough that your infantile addiction to this woman has consistently rendered you an unreliable business partner. But even now, as she conspires with others to have us killed, you continue to defend her! It shows that... :'''Lupin:''' Please. Go on. Shows what? :'''Goemon:''' ...that you are a weak man of no conviction and no honor! :'''Lupin:''' ''[scowling]'' Hm! :'''Jigen:''' Come on. You're being a little too harsh, aren't you, Goemon? :'''Goemon:''' It is only natural for you to defend the actions of Lupin, especially since you are responsible for some of his sins as well. :'''Jigen:''' What? Why, you pious jerk! :'''Goemon:''' What? :''[a standoff between Goemon and Jigen ensues]'' :'''Jigen:''' Hm! :'''Goemon:''' I've always wanted to slash that ridiculous hat of yours! :'''Jigen:''' Huh? What was that? :'''Lupin:''' Guys, come on! :'''Goemon:''' It's probably hiding a bald spot as big as your ass! :'''Jigen:''' Now that's it! :'''Lupin:''' Hey, wait! Come on! Look! You're right, okay? I'll turn over a brand new leaf. The woman is... history! Word of honor! Now shake hands, and let's move on, okay? I said let's go, alright, guys? :'''Jigen:''' One little question: where are we going? :'''Goemon:''' Like water, Lupin always gravitates towards the ocean. :'''Jigen:''' Damn it, Lupin! Do you have any idea how far that is? :'''Lupin:''' Hey, it's only a little inch on the atlas! Sheesh... <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lupin finishes the food while Fujiko sleeps]'' :'''Lupin''': Typical! You all want to be the center of a guy's universe. But as soon as he actually acts like it, it's "Oh, I didn't mean like that. I mean, adoring me is fine, but wanting me's kind of icky." ''[He finishes the food and throws down the pan, grabbing a hatchet]'' Well... we can drivel about love vs. desire all night. But I think... we can both agree that ''you drive me crazy!'' ''[He slashes at Fujiko's door]'' :'''Fujiko''': Lupin, what are you...? ''[Lupin breaks the door down completely and springs inside, laughing maniacally]'' Lupin, now just...! ''[Lupin throws off Fujiko's cover and jumps straight out of his underwear, diving up and over in an arc at Fujiko. As he goes in for the landing, he finds himself getting woozy.

Just hear me out! My name's Gordon, yours is Jigen, isn't that right? :'''Jigen:''' Yeah? So what, huh? Hm? :''[American soldiers surround Jigen and reveal they have apprehended Goemon]'' :'''Jigen:''' What the...? Goemon?! :'''Gordon:''' ''[takes Jigen's gun]'' That's right.

They cannot do this to us. :'''Jigen:''' You don't read the newspapers very much, do ya? :'''Gordon:''' Stand up... now! This man is the Special Assistant to the President! ''[he presses a button, drawing down automated blinds]'' I said, stand! :'''Goemon:''' Yes, we heard you. :'''Jigen:''' Look. You guys went to a lot of trouble to get us here. Now why don't we just cut the crap, and get to the point? ''[Gordon plays a taped recording of a conversation between US President [[George W. Bush]] and Russian Premier [[Vladimir Putin]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>'' :'''Gordon:''' ''[clears his throat]'' Yes, well... :'''Russian Premier:''' Mr. President, I must protest, in the strongest possible terms, the blackmailing of my administration by yours. :'''US President:''' Mr. Premier, I'm afraid I don't... :'''Russian Premier:''' Please, don't insult us further. We've been threatened with nuclear attack if we don’t hand over all classified research in biochemistry, cytology and biogenetics. :'''US President:''' Mr. Premier, we just lost two communications satellites after receiving similar demands, and frankly, the capability for such a strike... :'''Russian Premier:''' Mr. President, surely you're not accusing us? :'''US President:''' Mr. Premier, I don't know what to think. :'''Russian Premier:''' What has your intelligence turned out? :'''Mamo:''' Gentlemen, if I may interrupt... :'''US President:''' Who's that?! :'''Mamo:''' My name is Mamo. ''[Starky stops the tape]'' :'''Starky:''' Now... :'''Jigen:''' Yeah? :'''Starky:''' The identification of that third voice is a matter of the utmost importance. Not only to this administration, but to the entire world. Please, listen carefully now. ''[he rewinds part of the tape, and continues playing]'' :'''Mamo:''' My name is Mamo. I am the living embodiment of [[brain|intelligence]]. A [[prophet]]... a [[God]] to you. :'''Russian Premier:''' You’re a madman! :'''US President:''' He’s a terrorist! Whoever he is, what kind of a God threatens humanity with universal apocalypse if he doesn’t get his way?! :'''Mamo:''' I heard you weren’t much of a student in your school days, Mr. President... but apparently, even the [[Bible]] you thump so shamelessly is the Reader’s Digest edition. ''[Gordon stops the tape]'' :'''Jigen:''' Is that it? :'''Starky:''' The rest is classified. But, as you heard the President himself confirm, this terrorist, whoever he is, clearly has the capacity to carry out his deadly threats. :'''Jigen:''' "Mamo"? ''[lights a cigarette] '' You just heard him. So what have you got on him, anyway? :'''Starky:''' Very little, apart from the fact that your friend, Mr. Lupin, appears to have been running some errands for him lately... which is where you come in. Tell us the location of Mamo's operation! :'''Jigen:''' Hey, how in the hell should we know? :'''Gordon:''' Well... I'd suggest you think very hard! We're able to lock people up without a trial these days, you know! ''[Jigen hands him Fujiko’s clue to Lupin’s whereabouts]'' Hm? What the hell is this?! :'''Jigen:''' Here's all I've got for ya. Broad who's been playing him dropped it from a plane. It's her handwriting. :'''Gordon:''' And what does this mean? :'''Jigen:''' It means you're not completely clueless anymore. :'''Gordon:''' ''[frustrated, he turns over the table, knocking Starky and Jigen backwards]'' Mess with me... ''[grabs Jigen by his shirt]'' aaannd... you're messing with ''America!'' :'''Jigen:''' Oh yeah? Is that so? And which America would that be, exactly?! :'''Gordon:''' Huh? Which one? :'''Jigen:''' Yeah. The beacon of freedom and democracy, or the bastion of... ''blind arrogance?!'' :'''Gordon:''' You... Democrat...! :'''Starky:''' Gordon. I believe him. ''[whispers to Gordon]'' I suggest we check our other leads. ''[Gordon opens a door]'' Your country thanks you for your cooperation, Mr. Jigen. We will be in touch if we require anything further. :'''Gordon:''' You keep your nose clean in the meantime! ''[closes the door]'' :'''Jigen:''' ''[straightening his jacket]'' Hm! Call ''me'' a Democrat, will ya? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin:''' Uh, excuse me, could you...? ''[freaks out upon seeing Napoleon Bonaparte's face]'' Huh... ''[bumps into Adolf Hitler and, recognizing the face, salutes him in a panic]'' Heil, mein Führer! :'''Hitler:''' Hmm... :''[Lupin relaxes after Hitler passes him by]'' :'''Lupin:''' Hm? Hm, no way. It can't be true. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo:''' Are you looking for something? :'''Lupin:''' Are you the hospital director, or just another one of the inmates? :'''Mamo:''' You seem to be under the misapprehension that this is some sort of an asylum for the insane. I assure you, nothing could be further from the truth, Mr. Lupin. ''[turns to Lupin, revealing himself. Lupin gapes, horrified]'' :'''Lupin''': Uh... :'''Mamo''': Yes, I am Mamo. I have obtained the Philosopher's Stone now. :'''Lupin:''' You're the big scary bad guy? :'''Mamo:''' Of course, I could have done it myself, but I simply wanted to test your mettle. Your reputation is well-deserved; you may indeed be the greatest thief ever. :'''Lupin:''' Yeah, but it's not good for business when people rip ''me'' off! :'''Mamo:''' What would you say if I told you that by way of compensation I was prepared to make an offer of eternal life? :'''Lupin:''' I'd say that when it comes to living, more ain't necessarily more! :'''Mamo:''' I see you personify the type of genius that's incapable of rational thought. :'''Lupin:''' All I want is that Stone back! Now, just...! ''[charges at Mamo and almost falls off the platform]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[laughs]'' Something the matter, Mr. Lupin? No? Well, come along, then. :'''Lupin:''' ''[steps on the invisible glass and continues charging at Mamo]'' I was giving you more credit than you deserve! ''[falls screaming through an invisible hole and makes a hard landing on his rear end]'' Oh, me and my big mouth...! ''[gets up as Mamo cackles at him]'' Hey, Mamo! You think that's so funny? Well, you'll be laughing on the other side of your mouth, you hear me? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Zenigata''': Just think of me as the barnacle on your butt, Lupin, 'cause that's what I am! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lupin''': Now, where were we? :'''Fujiko''': Hold on, Lupin. I have to tell you something. :'''Lupin''': It can wait! Come on now... :'''Fujiko''': ''[enjoying it]'' No, please, I'm serious! :'''Lupin''': Come on! :'''Fujiko''': No, stop! Ooh... :''[The two lovers don't realize they've ended up in Mamo's throne room. Mamo stares at them, outraged]'' :'''Lupin''': It's all right, baby, we're all alone. ''[Fujiko tickles him]'' No fair! Cut it out! Resistance... ''[Fujiko knees him in the crotch]'' ...is futile! :'''Mamo''': ''[finally at the end of his rope]'' IF YOU TWO ARE QUITE FINISHED! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Mamo shows Lupin and Fujiko surveillance footage of Jigen and Goemon]'' :'''Mamo:''' ''[chuckling]'' Friends of yours, Lupin? :'''Fujiko:''' Huh?! :'''Lupin:''' How the hell did they get here?! :'''Mamo:''' Ah, but wait. There's more! :''[Inspector Zenigata, with a picture of Lupin, is shown questioning [[Laozi]] of his location]'' :'''Lupin:''' Zenigata! ''[laughs]'' He always said he'd follow me into the depths of Hell! :'''Mamo:''' Look.

A masterwork, if I say so myself. The leading lights of science, philosophy, art. All under one roof, and all are perfectly ''real''! :'''Lupin:''' Hm! So, sort of a [[w:Noah's Ark|Noah's Ark]]? :'''Mamo:''' Let's just say that if you've never given any thought about the world, starting now would either be a particularly good idea, or a pathetically pointless one, if you catch my drift, Mr. Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' Uh?! :'''Mamo:''' Because [[w:Apocalypse|the time is nigh]], Mr. Lupin, but sadly the guest list is... quite short. Only the elite of history's most brilliant and beautiful people! :'''Lupin:''' ''[apparently deep in thought]'' Oh, uh... I'm sorry to hear that. ''[chuckles, then laughs hysterically]'' :'''Mamo:''' I imagine you are. :'''Lupin:''' ''[still laughing]'' No, I mean, it's just after all that work – an ugly, demented gnome like you isn't even eligible! :'''Mamo:''' Huh. Quite annoying. That's exactly what I’m talking about, my dear Fujiko. Obviously, eternal life would be wasted on a vulgarian like that man there. :'''Fujiko:''' ''[put off by Mamo's statement]'' Hm. :'''Lupin:''' ''[mistaking 'vulgarian' for 'vegetarian']'' That's not true. I eat meat! :'''Mamo:''' He's not even in our class. In fact, he's barely in our species! :'''Fujiko:''' Well, if Lupin can't come along, I'm not interested. :'''Mamo:''' Fujiko! :'''Fujiko:''' No, Mamo. I'm sorry. :'''Lupin:''' Hm?! :'''Fujiko:''' He's hard enough to take now.

I understand. You suffered greatly, sacrificed greatly for this department, haven't you? :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' I have! ''[sobs]'' :'''Commissioner:''' There, there... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[chomps on a radish, crying]'' You're so understanding! I don't... deserve a boss... like you... you're really the best!

Lupin's gotten himself mixed up with some major players this time. I'm afraid it's way over our heads, Inspector. It's a matter for the diplomats at this point. ''[Zenigata stares ahead, stunned]'' Inspector... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' How can they... take me off this case? :'''Commissioner:''' Well, as I said, the whole matter's completely out of my hands. Oh! By the by... ''[hands a small document with Zenigata’s name on it]'' a little bonus pay for all your hard work. :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' Uhhh... :'''Commissioner:''' Token of our appreciation. What was your daughter's name again, Toshiko? All grown up now, hm? ''[chuckles]'' Good life waiting for you back at home! :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' But I'm the only one in the world who can catch Lupin! :'''Commissioner:''' ''[grunts apologetically]'' I'm so sorry... :'''Inspector Zenigata:''' ''[shouting]'' That's not gonna cut it! :'''Commissioner:''' Why, how dare you! :''[Inspector Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus.

Sun of Colombia, ¡mano a mano! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko:''' ''[referring to Mamo's promise of eternal life]'' I can't believe it. It was all a lie! :'''Lupin:''' Maybe it wasn't. I think he was researching immortality... :'''Jigen:''' He's just another wacky old rich guy. :'''Lupin:''' Or a clone. :'''Jigen:''' Say what?! :'''Lupin:''' You said it yourself. The guy had the bucks to pull anything off! Technologically, it's not a big deal anymore. Just a little dab of DNA'll do ya, and theoretically, if you repeat the process over and over again, you – or, successive copies of you – could live forever. :'''Jigen:''' Well, it certainly would explain the mystery of your dear departed doppelganger... :'''Lupin:''' And a single strand of my hair is really all anybody would have needed to do it. :'''Jigen:''' Anybody with a few billion dollars to play with... <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo''': What you call history is nothing more than my restless self-diversion. Cloning was my entrée to godhood. :'''Lupin''': Are you saying I owe my very existence to you? :'''Mamo''': ''[chuckling]'' Lupin, you're nothing but a random byproduct of my whim. And yet, being an idiot has its advantages. A smarter man than you might be tempted to wonder what really happened last spring. Was it the copy that was executed... or the original? :'''Lupin''': Why, you son of a bitch! I know who the hell I am! :'''Mamo''': You see, it's a philosophical riddle. :''[He disappears, cackling]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Jigen tries to prevent Lupin from confronting Mamo]'' :'''Jigen:''' Don't be a friggin' idiot! :'''Lupin:''' That's just it... I'd be an idiot if I didn't go! :'''Jigen:''' The world is full of women, Lupin. :'''Lupin:''' It's lousy with women... but not with love. <hr width="50%"/> :''' Mamo:''' Yes. The process has its limitations. :'''Fujiko:''' Limits? :''' Older Mamo Clone:''' The transfer of the chromosomal data is never accomplished with complete fidelity. There are… anomalies, infinitesimally small in each case, but the cumulative effect of such - chaotic - pollution... can be observed after only a dozen or so generations, and what you see before you is a 130th generation facsimile. I am but a faint, distorted echo of myself. :'''Lupin:''' But you were always distorted by your obsession. :'''Older Mamo Clone:''' But is it not... everyone’s obsession? ''[dies]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mamo''': ''[seeing Lupin come towards him on the treadmill]'' You are so brave. Very well. If that's what you want, I'll grant you a hero's death. And since I'm feeling magnanimous, I'll even reveal to you, that it was your clone who died last spring! Now, REST! IN! PEACE! :''[Laughing maniacally, he sends beams of lasers to home in on Lupin.

You can die a hundred more times for all I care, it doesn't change a thing! As long as there's even one of you left, I'll keep following you straight through the gates of Hell! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fujiko has escaped on Jigen's plane instead of Lupin]'' :'''Lupin''': I don't believe it! :'''Zenigata''': ''[laughing]'' Serves you right, lover boy! ''[An explosion occurs behind the two men, causing them to fall over]'' Ow. :''[They get up and exchange glances]'' :'''Lupin''': Shall we? :'''Zenigata''': Mm-hmm. Let's go, buddy! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fujiko''': ''[seeing Lupin and Zenigata retreat chained together]'' You'd never know they were sworn enemies. :'''Jigen''': Like you and him, minus the masochism. == Taglines== * Will love defeat an eternal evil? * Sometimes, being able to put together a world-class art collection takes a thief... this time it takes an extraordinary thief! * Lupin III vs. Clone!

This was Warner Brother's first Bugs Bunny theatrical release since 1964. It was issued to commemorate Bugs's 50th anniversary.

''[refers to Finnick]'' I gotta get to work. :'''Judy''': ''[gets out of her cart with the folder, a notepad, and a carrot pen]'' This is important, sir.

''[Nick's smile drops, and his eyes widen in shock as Judy writes.]'' Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, which is... $1,460,000, ''I think.'' I mean, I ''am'' just a "dumb bunny", but we ''are'' good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here... '''''0!'''''

Clothes on animals. Here we go! ''[Judy groans; the trio comes across Nangi]'' As you can see, Nangi's an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything. Hey, Nangi, these dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter. :'''Nangi''': Who? :'''Yax''': Uh, Emmitt Otterton? Been coming to your yoga class for, like, 6 years? :'''Nangi''': I have no memory of this beaver. :'''Judy''': He's an otter, actually. :'''Yax''': He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago, remember? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, he was wearing a cable knit sweater vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a silver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': ''[with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C]'' Nope. :'''Judy''': Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you? :'''Yax''': Oh, for sure. It was 2-9-T-H-D-0-3. :''[Nick seems amazed at Nangi's flexibility and looks at Judy's notes, and briefly nods]'' :'''Judy''': ''[writing it down]'' (2-9-T-H-D-)0-3. Wow, this is a lot of great info, thank you. :'''Yax''': Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap. Ah, I wish I had a memory like an elephant. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy and Nick arrive at the Department of Motor Vehicles to look up the license plate number; Judy is shocked to see that the DMV is run by sloths.]'' :'''Judy''': Wait, they're all ''sloths?!'' ''[seeing all the sloths works so slowly]'' You said this was gonna be quick! :'''Nick''': Are you saying that because he's a sloth he can't be fast? I thought in Zootopia, anyone could be anything. ''[They walk up to one of the sloths.]'' Flash, Flash, 100-yard dash! Buddy, it's nice to see you. :'''Flash''': Nice to... see you... too. :'''Nick''': Hey, Flash, I'd love you to meet my friend. Uh, darling, I've forgotten your name. :'''Judy''': Hmm... Ah… Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD.

''[the scene changes to the Tundratown Limo Service; tugs on the lock on the gate]'' Closed! Great. :'''Nick''': Mm. And I will betcha you don't have to warrant to get in, hmm? Darn it. It's a bummer. :'''Judy''': You wasted the day on purpose! :'''Nick''': Madam, I have a ''fake badge''. I would never impede your pretend investigation. :'''Judy''': It's not a pretend investigation. ''[takes out Emmitt's family picture]'' Look, see? See him? This otter is missing. :'''Nick''': Well, they should've gotten a real cop to find him. :'''Judy''': ''[puts the picture away]'' What is your problem? Does seeing me fail somehow make you feel better about your own sad, miserable life? :'''Nick''': It does, 100%. Now, since you're sans warrant, I guess we're... done? :'''Judy''': ''[sighs]'' Fine. We are done. ''[reveals the carrot pen]'' Here's your pen. :'''Nick''': ''[tries to reach the pen]'' Hey! ''[Judy throws the carrot pen over the fence]'' First off, you throw like a bunny. Second, you're a very sore loser. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Nick''': ''[opens the limo’s glove compartment and suddenly jumps back in alarm]'' Oh, my God! :'''Judy''': What? What?! :'''Nick''': ''The Velvety Pipes of Jerry Vole!'' ''[smirks; Judy looks at him annoyed, puts a polar bear’s fur in a plastic bag.]'' But on CD. Who still uses CDs? ''[tosses the CDs back, opens the door revealing the back, gets spooked and his ears pull back]'' Carrots, if your otter was here, he had a very bad day. :'''Judy''': ''[goes to take a look, which the back is ripped, and claw marks are shown everywhere]'' Those are... claw marks. You ever seen anything like this? :'''Nick''': No. :'''Judy''': Oh, wait. Look! ''[hops down and looks at Emmitt's wallet, seeing his picture]'' This is him. Emmitt Otterton. He was definitely here. What do you think happened? :'''Nick''': ''[looks around and sees a cup. He picks it up and sees a fancy "B" imprinted on it.]'' Well, now, wait a minute. Polar bear fur, Rat Pack music, fancy cup? ''[alarmed]'' I know whose car this is. We gotta go. :'''Judy''': Why? Whose car is it? :'''Nick''': The most feared crime boss in Tundratown. They call him Mr. Big, and he does ''not'' like me, so we gotta go. :'''Judy''': I'm not leaving. This is a crime scene. :'''Nick''': Well, it's gonna be an even bigger crime scene if Mr. Big finds me here, ''[opens the limo’s door]'' so we're leaving ''right now.'' ''[turns and sees two polar bears waiting for them]'' Oh, gah! Raymond! And is that Kevin? Long time, no see. And speaking of no see, how about you forget you saw me? Huh? For old times' sake? ''[Raymond and Kevin grab the two by their throats.]'' That's a no. :''[Later, Judy and Nick are sitting between the two bears in a car being driven to see Mr. Big.

Is that him? :'''Nick''': No! :''[A third polar bear, Koslov, larger than the others, enters the room and walks to the desk.]'' :'''Judy''': ''[gasps at the sight of him]'' That's gotta be him. :'''Nick''': ''[whispering through gritted teeth]'' Stop talking, stop talking, ''stop talking!'' :''[Koslov unclenches his hands to reveal a tiny chair.

''[kisses Mr. Big's ring]'' This is a simple misunderstanding. :'''Mr. Big''': ''[speaking in a [[w:Vito Corleone|Vito-Corleone]]-style voice]'' [[The Godfather|You come here unannounced on the day my daughter is to be married.]] :'''Nick''': Well, actually, we were brought here against our will, so-- ''[laughs nervously; Mr. Big gives him a look]'' Point is, I–I did not know that it was your car, and I certainly did not know about your daughter's wedding. :'''Mr. Big''': I trusted you, Nicky. I welcomed you into my home. We broke bread together. Grandmama made you a cannoli. And how did you repay my generosity? With a rug. Made from the butt of a skunk. A skunk-butt rug. You disrespected me. You disrespected my grandmama, who I buried in that skunk-butt rug. ''[Koslov crosses his chest in prayer.]'' I told you to never show your face here again, but here you are, snooping around with this-- ''[to Judy]'' What are you, a performer? What's with the costume? :'''Judy''': Sir, I am a co-- :'''Nick''': Mime! She is a mime! This ''mime'' cannot speak. You can't speak if you're a mime. :'''Judy''': No, I'm a cop. ''[shows Emmitt's family picture]'' And I'm on the Emmitt Otterton case, and my evidence puts him in ''your car.'' So, intimidate me all you want, I'm gonna find out what you did to that otter if it's the ''last thing I do.'' :'''Mr. Big''': Meh. Then I have only one request: Say hello to Grandmama. ''[to the polar bears]'' Ice 'em. :''[The polar bears grab Judy and Nick.]'' :'''Nick''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! I-I-I didn't see nothing! I'm not saying nothing! :'''Mr. Big''': And you never will. :'''Nick''': Please! :'''Judy''': Put me down! :''[The polar bears open a trap door, revealing an ice water pit below and dangle the two.]'' :'''Nick''': No, no, no!

''[sees the polar bears holding Nick and Judy above the pit; upset]'' Ugh! What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding! :'''Mr. Big''': ''[to Fru Fru]'' I have to, baby, Daddy has to.

''[The polar bears stop again.]'' She's the bunny that saved my life yesterday! From that giant donut! :'''Mr. Big''': This bunny? :'''Fru Fru''': Yeah! ''[waves to Judy]'' Hi! :'''Judy''': Hi. I love your dress. :'''Fru Fru''': Aw, thank you! :'''Mr. Big''': Hmm. Put 'em down. ''[The polar bears close the trap door and put Judy and Nick down; to Judy]'' You have done me a great service.

Nick looks at them, dumbfounded.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[At Fru Fru's wedding, Mr. Big talks to Judy about what happened to Emmitt Otterton.]'' :'''Mr. Big''': Otterton is my florist. He's like a part of the family. He had something important he wanted to discuss. That's why I sent that car to pick him up. But he never arrived. :'''Judy''': Because he was attacked. :'''Mr. Big''': No. He attacked. :'''Judy''': Otterton? :'''Mr. Big''': Otterton. He went crazy - ripped up the car, scared my driver half to death ''[his eyes are visible for a moment and widen as he says this last part]'', and disappeared into the night. ''[he holds his paw out for emphasis]'' :'''Judy''': But he's a sweet little otter. :'''Mr. Big''': Hmm.

''[puts her paw on Nick's arm, who becomes uncomfortable and quickly changes the subject]'' :'''Nick''': Boy, look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? ''[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter]'' Chuck, how are things looking on the jam-cams? :'''Judy''': Nick, I’m glad you told me. :'''Nick''': ''[realizing]'' The jam-cams. :'''Judy''': Seriously, it's okay. :'''Nick''': No, no, no. Shh. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy! Whatever happened to that jaguar-- :'''Judy''': The traffic cams would have caught it! :'''Nick''': Bingo! :'''Judy''': Ha-ho!

What do you mean, "biology"? :'''Dr. Badger''': The only animals going savage are predators. We ''cannot'' keep it a secret, we ''need'' to come forward. :'''Lionheart''': ''[sarcastically]'' Hmmm.

"These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious? :'''Judy''': I just stated the facts of the case. I mean, it's not like a bunny could go savage. :'''Nick''': Right. But a fox could, huh? :'''Judy''': Nick, stop it. You're not like them. :'''Nick''': ''[angrily]'' Oh, there's a ''"them"'' now? :'''Judy''': ''[annoyed sigh]'' You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator. :'''Nick''': The kind that needs to be muzzled? (The kind you thought you have to manipulate or trick into helping you crack a case?) The kind that makes you think you need to carry around fox repellent? Yeah, don't think I didn't notice ''that'' little item the first time we met. So, l-let me ask you a question.

''[jumps forward]'' '''''EAT YOU?!''''' ''[Judy gasps, instinctively jumps back and puts her hand over the fox repellent.]'' I knew it. ''[scoffs]'' Just when I thought somebody actually believed in me, huh? (You still think I'm a shifty, low life, worse, a savage.) ''[gives Judy back the application she gave him for the ZPD and leaves]'' Probably best if you don't have a predator as a partner. :''[Judy looks at the application that is completely filled out, looks up, sees an offended Nick storming off, tearing off his badge sticker, and throwing it down on the ground.

A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals. :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest. ''[Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]'' :'''Frantic pig''': ''[with hostility]'' Go back to the forest, predator! :'''Female leopard''': ''[holding up a sign; offended]'' I'm from the savannah! :'''Gazelle''': ''[interviewed]'' Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences. ''[looks behind herself for a moment and gestures]'' This is not the Zootopia I know. ''[Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.]'' The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. ''[On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.]'' We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages.

Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]'' :'''Mrs. Otterton''': ''[sadly]'' That's not my Emmitt. ''[Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]'' :'''Gazelle''': We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love. :'''Chief Bogo''': Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us. :'''Judy''': The mayor?

It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. ''[Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty.

She puts it down and looks at Bellwether.]'' :'''Judy''': Um, I don't understand. :'''Bellwether''': Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[looks at the cover and gives thought]'' I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it. :'''Chief Bogo''': Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you. :'''Judy''': With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. ''[takes off her badge]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[shocked]'' Hopps. :'''Bellwether''': ''[also shocked]'' Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid.

My family always just called them "Night Howlers". :'''Judy''': I'm sor-- What did you say? :'''Stu''': Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use them to keep bugs off the produce. But I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of your Uncle Terry. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts. :'''Stu''': He bit the dickens out of your mother. :'''Judy''': ''[putting the pieces together]'' A bunny ''can'' go savage. :'''Bonnie''': Savage? Well, that's a strong word. But it did hurt like the devil. :'''Stu''': Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage. :'''Judy''': ''[realizing the truth]'' Night Howlers aren't wolves. They’re flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. ''[gasps]'' That's it!

''[gets up]'' Isn't that interesting? ''[walks under the bridge, while Judy follows him]'' :'''Judy''': Wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't forgive me either. ''[Nick stops walking but doesn't look at Judy.]'' I was ignorant, and irresponsible, and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without you. ''[Nick still refuses to look at her.]'' And-- And after we're done, you can hate me. And tha-- ''[voice breaking]'' And that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you.

''[Judy walks closer and leans her face on Nick's torso, still sobbing; Nick embraces her.]'' Okay. Oh, you bunnies. You're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is? ''[Judy giggles and tries to grab the pen.]'' You ''are'' standing on my tail, though. Off, off-off-off. :'''Judy''': Oh!

Come on! :'''Nick''': ''[shows up with Judy]'' Well, well, look who it is. The Duke of Bootleg. :'''Weaselton''': What's it to you, Wilde? Shouldn't you be melting down a pawpsicle or something?

I'll talk! I'll talk! I stole them Night Howlers so I could sell 'em. They offered me what I couldn't refuse: Money. :'''Judy''': And to whom did you sell them? :'''Weaselton''': A ram named Doug.

Please hurry! :'''Judy''': No, Nick. Don't do this. Fight it. :'''Bellwether''': Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages. ''[Nick appears to turn feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. Judy then cowers by the wall.]'' Gosh.

Prey fears predator and you stay in power? :'''Bellwether''': Yeah. Pretty much. :'''Judy''': It won't work! :'''Bellwether''': Fear ''always'' works.

''[showing Bellwether in an orange jumpsuit, in handcuffs, filled with contempt, as two Officers, Jackson and Krumpanski escort her through the crowd as photographers take pictures.]'' :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Her predecessor, Leodore Lionheart, denies any knowledge of her plot, claiming he was just trying to protect the city. :'''Leodore Lionheart''': ''[being interviewed by a porcupine, Quilda]'' Did I falsely imprison those animals? Well, yes. Yes, I did. It was a classic "doing the wrong thing for the right reason" kind of a deal. :'''Fabienne Growley''': In related news, doctors say the Night howler antidote is proving effective in rehabilitating the afflicted predators. <hr width="50%/> :'''Judy''': When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place, where everyone got along, and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations, we all make mistakes, which means - hey, glass half full! - We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you - try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us. <hr width=50%/> :'''Chief Bogo''': All right, all right, enough. '''''Shut it!'''''

You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir. :'''Chief Bogo''': Shut your mouth, Wilde!

''[Nick's smile drops, and his eyes widen in shock as Judy writes.]'' Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, which is... $1,460,000, ''I think.'' I mean, I ''am'' just a "dumb bunny", but we ''are'' good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here... '''''0!'''''

Been coming to your yoga class for, like, 6 years? :'''Nangi''': I have no memory of this beaver. :'''Judy''': He's an otter, actually. :'''Yax''': He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago, remember? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, he was wearing a cable knit sweater vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a silver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': ''[with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C]'' Nope. :'''Judy''': Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you? :'''Yax''': Oh, for sure.

''[counts and holds out his paws]'' ten left to find our Mr. Otterton, and that is exactly what we're gonna do. So, if you'll excuse us, we have a very big lead to follow, and a case to crack. Good day. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Nick is finishing telling Judy his story of how he, as a kid, was bullied by prey Junior Ranger Scout kids.]'' :'''Nick''': I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. :'''Judy''': And two? :'''Nick''': If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point trying to be anything else. :'''Judy''': ''[comfortingly]'' Nick, you are ''so'' much more than that. ''[puts her paw on Nick's arm, who becomes uncomfortable and quickly changes the subject]'' :'''Nick''': Boy, look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? ''[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter]'' Chuck, how are things looking on the jam-cams? :'''Judy''': Nick, I’m glad you told me. :'''Nick''': ''[realizing]'' The jam-cams. :'''Judy''': Seriously, it's okay. :'''Nick''': No, no, no. Shh. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy! Whatever happened to that jaguar-- :'''Judy''': The traffic cams would have caught it! :'''Nick''': Bingo! :'''Judy''': Ha-ho! Pretty sneaky, slick! :'''Nick''': However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt Chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now. :'''Judy''': No. ''[gets an idea]'' But I have a friend at City Hall who might. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy and Nick are at the Cliffside Asylum, hiding at an empty cell and eavesdropping a conversation between Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Badger.]'' :'''Lionheart''': ''[annoyed]'' Enough! I don't want excuses, Doctor! I want answers! :'''Dr. Badger:''' Mayor Lionheart, please. We're doing everything we can. :'''Lionheart''': Really? 'Cause I've got a dozen-and-a-half animals in here who'd gone off-the-rails crazy, and you can't tell me why! Now, I'd call that awfully far from "doing everything"! :'''Dr. Badger''': Sir, it may be time to consider their biology. :'''Lionheart''': What? What do you mean, "biology"? :'''Dr. Badger''': The only animals going savage are predators. We ''cannot'' keep it a secret, we ''need'' to come forward. :'''Lionheart''': ''[sarcastically]'' Hmmm. Great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor... ''[yells angrily]'' '''''WHO IS A LION?! I'LL BE RUINED!''''' :'''Dr. Badger''': Well, what does Chief Bogo say? :'''Lionheart''': Chief Bogo doesn't know, and ''we are going to keep it that way.'' :'''Judy''': ''[gasps as her phone starts ringing because of her parents calling her]'' Oh, no, no, no! :'''Lionheart''': ''[having heard Judy's phone ring]'' Someone's here! :'''Dr. Badger''': ''[ushering Lionheart out of the room]'' Sir, you need to go. Now. Security, sweep the area! ''[shuts the door, setting off an alarm, which automatically shuts and locks all the cells]'' :'''Nick''': ''[after he and Judy notice the timber wolves about to burst into the room to sweep the jail cells]'' Great. We're dead. We're dead. That's it! I’m dead, you’re dead. Everybody's dead! ''[leans against a toilet without realizing]'' :'''Judy''': ''[gets an idea]'' Can you swim? :'''Nick''': What? Can I swim? ''[Judy puts her phone in a plastic bag.]'' Yes, I can swim. Why? <hr width=50%/> :''[After escaping the asylum’s mental hospital, Judy and Nick slide down the pipe and fall out, going down the waterfall, Judy in a diving position, Nick twisting and turning in weird positions while screaming, before falling into the water below.]'' :'''Nick''': ''[emerges]'' Carrots? Hopps! ''[worriedly]'' '''''Judy!!''''' :'''Judy''': ''[also emerges, holding the plastic bag with her phone in it]'' We gotta tell Bogo! :''[In his office, Bogo looks at the Gazelle dancing app and sees his face on a tiger dancer.]'' :'''Gazelle''': Wow, you are one hot dancer, Chief Bogo. ''[Bogo smiles, and then quickly puts his phone away as Clawhauser enters his office.]'' :'''Clawhauser''': Chief Bogo! :'''Chief Bogo''': Not now! :'''Clawhauser''': Wait, is that Gazelle? :'''Chief Bogo''': '''''No!''''' :'''Gazelle''': ''[on the video]'' I'm Gazelle, and you are one hot dancer. :'''Clawhauser''': You have the app, too? ''[squeals]'' Ohhh... Chief! :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[annoyed; changing the subject]'' Clawhauser, can't you see I'm working on the missing mammal cases? :'''Clawhuaser''': ''Oh,'' oh, oh, yes, of course. About that, sir, Officer Hopps just called. She found all of 'em! :''[Chief Bogo gives a stunned look.]'' :'''Gazelle''': ''[on the video]'' Wow! I'm impressed. :''[Later that night, the ZPD arrests Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Badger at the asylum.]'' :'''Judy''': Mayor Lionheart, you have the right to remain silent. Anything-- :'''Lionheart''': You don't understand! I was trying to protect the city! :'''Judy''': You were just trying to protect your job. :'''Lionheart''': No, listen! We still don't know why this is happening. It could destroy Zootopia. :'''Judy''': [[w:Miranda warning|You have the right to remain silent.

"These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious? :'''Judy''': I just stated the facts of the case. I mean, it's not like a bunny could go savage. :'''Nick''': Right. But a fox could, huh? :'''Judy''': Nick, stop it. You're not like them. :'''Nick''': ''[angrily]'' Oh, there's a ''"them"'' now? :'''Judy''': ''[annoyed sigh]'' You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator. :'''Nick''': The kind that needs to be muzzled? (The kind you thought you have to manipulate or trick into helping you crack a case?) The kind that makes you think you need to carry around fox repellent? Yeah, don't think I didn't notice ''that'' little item the first time we met. So, l-let me ask you a question. Are you afraid of me? ''[Judy stares at Nick in disbelief, her nose slightly twitching in fear.]'' Do you think I might go nuts? You think I might go ''savage?'' You think I might try to... ''[jumps forward]'' '''''EAT YOU?!''''' ''[Judy gasps, instinctively jumps back and puts her hand over the fox repellent.]'' I knew it. ''[scoffs]'' Just when I thought somebody actually believed in me, huh? (You still think I'm a shifty, low life, worse, a savage.) ''[gives Judy back the application she gave him for the ZPD and leaves]'' Probably best if you don't have a predator as a partner. :''[Judy looks at the application that is completely filled out, looks up, sees an offended Nick storming off, tearing off his badge sticker, and throwing it down on the ground. She becomes shocked.]'' :'''Judy''': No, Nick! Nick! ''[tries to follow Nick, but is blocked by the reporters]'' :'''Beaver reporter''': Officer Hopps, were you just threatened by that predator? :'''Judy''': No, he’s my friend. :'''Rabbit reporter''': We can't even trust our own friends? :'''Judy''': That is not what I said. Please--! :'''Beaver reporter''': Are we safe? :'''Rabbit reporter''': Have any other foxes gone savage? :''[The microphones are shoved closer to Judy, as questions are buzzed all around her, and she is taken by surprise as she loses Nick.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fabienne Growley''': More bad news in the city gripped by fear. A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals. :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest. ''[Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]'' :'''Frantic pig''': ''[with hostility]'' Go back to the forest, predator! :'''Female leopard''': ''[holding up a sign; offended]'' I'm from the savannah! :'''Gazelle''': ''[interviewed]'' Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences. ''[looks behind herself for a moment and gestures]'' This is not the Zootopia I know. ''[Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.]'' The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. ''[On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.]'' We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages. ''[In the asylum, Mrs. Otterton sees her husband in his savage state, tethered to a pole in the middle of the room, snarling and pacing. Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]'' :'''Mrs. Otterton''': ''[sadly]'' That's not my Emmitt. ''[Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]'' :'''Gazelle''': We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love. :'''Chief Bogo''': Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us. :'''Judy''': The mayor? Why? :'''Chief Bogo''': It would seem you've arrived. :'''Judy''': ''[follows Bogo, and sees Clawhauser packing his stuff because he was demoted]'' Clawhauser? What are you doing? :'''Clawhauser''': ''[sadly]'' Um, they thought it would be better if a predator, such as myself, wasn't the first face that you see when you walk into the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[shocked]'' What? :'''Clawhauser''': They're gonna move me to records. It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. ''[Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty. Bogo calls to her by the door.]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': Hopps! :''[The scene changes to Bellwether’s office, where Judy is holding a ZPD poster displaying her smiling face. She puts it down and looks at Bellwether.]'' :'''Judy''': Um, I don't understand. :'''Bellwether''': Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[looks at the cover and gives thought]'' I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it. :'''Chief Bogo''': Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you. :'''Judy''': With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. ''[takes off her badge]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[shocked]'' Hopps. :'''Bellwether''': ''[also shocked]'' Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit. :'''Judy:''' ''[puts her badge on the desk]'' Thank you for the opportunity. ''[walks out of Bellwether's office, downcast]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy, now a carrot farmer, sees an adult Gideon Grey getting out of his pie truck.]'' :'''Judy''': Is that... Gideon Grey? :'''Stu''': Yep! It sure is. We work with him now. :'''Bonnie''': He's our partner, and we never would have considered it had you not opened our minds. :'''Stu''': That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the top pastry chefs in the Tri-Burrows. :'''Judy''': ''[amazed]'' That's-- That's really cool, you guys. ''[Gideon takes out pastries but looks up when he hears Judy.]'' Gideon Grey. I'll be darned. :'''Gideon''': ''[sincerely]'' Hey, Judy. I would just like to say, I-I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth. I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt, and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression. I was a ''major jerk.'' :'''Judy''': Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk. ''[smiles; Gideon takes out a tray of pies from his truck.]'' :'''Gideon''': ''[smiles]'' Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies. :''[Judy, her parents, and Gideon watch some bunny kids running through a nearby field towards some flowers.]'' :'''Stu''': Hey, kids, don't you run through the ''Midnicampum holicithias!'' :'''Bunny kid''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! ''[he and the others stop running and move away from the flowers]'' :'''Gideon''': Well, now, ''there's'' a $4-word, Mr. H. My family always just called them "Night Howlers". :'''Judy''': I'm sor-- What did you say? :'''Stu''': Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use them to keep bugs off the produce. But I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of your Uncle Terry. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts. :'''Stu''': He bit the dickens out of your mother. :'''Judy''': ''[putting the pieces together]'' A bunny ''can'' go savage. :'''Bonnie''': Savage? Well, that's a strong word. But it did hurt like the devil. :'''Stu''': Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage. :'''Judy''': ''[realizing the truth]'' Night Howlers aren't wolves. They’re flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. ''[gasps]'' That's it! That's what I've been missing! ''[races away towards Stu’s truck, then turns back]'' Oh! Keys! Keys, keys, keys! Hurry! Come on! ''[Stu tosses Judy the keys to his truck.]'' Thank you! I love you, bye! ''[gets in the truck, starts it up and races back towards Zootopia]'' :'''Stu''': You catch any of that, Bon? :'''Bonnie''': Not one bit. :'''Gideon''': Oh, that makes me feel a little bit better, I-I thought she was talking in tongues or something. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy has found Nick lounging near a bridge, and tries to reconcile with him.]'' :'''Judy''': Oh, Nick! Night Howlers aren't wolves. They're toxic flowers. I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage. :'''Nick''': ''[sarcastically and still upset with Judy]'' Wow. ''[gets up]'' Isn't that interesting? ''[walks under the bridge, while Judy follows him]'' :'''Judy''': Wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't forgive me either. ''[Nick stops walking but doesn't look at Judy.]'' I was ignorant, and irresponsible, and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without you. ''[Nick still refuses to look at her.]'' And-- And after we're done, you can hate me. And tha-- ''[voice breaking]'' And that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you. ''[sobbing]'' And you-- And you can walk away knowing that you were right all along: I really ''am'' just a dumb bunny. :''[Everything is silent, except for Judy's quiet crying. Then, a recorded voice is heard; through the carrot pen]'' :'''Judy's Voice''': "I really ''am'' just a dumb bunny." ''[Judy tearfully and incredulously looks at Nick. Nick holds up the carrot pen and replays Judy's words.]'' I really ''am'' just a dumb bunny.". :'''Nick''': ''[stops recording, turns around and smiles]'' Don't worry, Carrots. I'll let you erase it...in 48 hours. ''[Judy tears up with joy, wipes away her tears and, emotionally exhausted, walks towards Nick.]'' All right, get in here. ''[Judy walks closer and leans her face on Nick's torso, still sobbing; Nick embraces her.]'' Okay. Oh, you bunnies. You're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is? ''[Judy giggles and tries to grab the pen.]'' You ''are'' standing on my tail, though. Off, off-off-off. :'''Judy''': Oh! I'm sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Duke Weaselton is selling bootleg movies to citizens.]'' :'''Weaselton''': ''[to a pedestrian]'' Well, hello. Step right up. Anything you need, I got it. All your favorite movies! I got movies that haven't even been released yet! ''[the pedestrian rightfully refuses]'' Hey, 15% off! 20! Make me an offer! Come on! :'''Nick''': ''[shows up with Judy]'' Well, well, look who it is. The Duke of Bootleg. :'''Weaselton''': What's it to you, Wilde? Shouldn't you be melting down a pawpsicle or something? ''[notices and recognizes Judy; smugly]'' Hey, if it isn't Flopsy the Copsy. :'''Judy''': We both know those weren't moldy onions I caught you stealing. ''[sternly]'' What were you gonna do with those Night Howlers, Wesselton? :'''Weaselton''': [[w:Frozen (2013 film)|It's Weaselton. Duke Weaselton]]. And I ain't talkin', rabbit. And there's nothin' you can do to make me. :''[Judy and Nick give each other a look, as if to say, "Desperate times call for desperate measures.", and the scene changes to Mr. Big's office.]'' :'''Mr. Big''': Ice him. :''[One polar bear dangles Duke over the ice pit.]'' :'''Weaselton''': ''[screams; to Nick]'' You dirty rat! Why are you helpin' her? She's a cop! :'''Mr. Big''': And the godmother to my future granddaughter. :'''Fru-Fru''': ''[pregnant]'' I'm gonna name her Judy. :'''Judy''': ''[sweetly]'' Ohh! :'''Mr. Big''': ''[chuckles; becomes serious again]'' Ice this weasel. :'''Weaselton''': ''[yelps]'' Alright, alright, please! I'll talk! I'll talk! I stole them Night Howlers so I could sell 'em. They offered me what I couldn't refuse: Money. :'''Judy''': And to whom did you sell them? :'''Weaselton''': A ram named Doug. We got a drop spot underground. Just watch it. Doug is the opposite of friendly. He's '''''un'''friendly.'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[After their subway car crashes and burns, Judy and Nick enter the Natural History Museum as a shortcut to the ZPD, with the case with the dart gun and the serum pellet inside as evidence. Suddenly, they stop because Bellwether is arriving with two sheep officials.]'' :'''Bellwether''': Judy! Judy! :'''Judy''': Mayor Bellwether! We found out what's happening. Someone's darting predators with a serum. That's what's making them go savage. :'''Bellwether''': I'm so proud of you, Judy. You did just a super job. :'''Judy''': Thank you, ma'am. ''[starts to hand Bellwether the case, but suddenly, she takes it away in surprised suspicion]'' How did you know where to find us? :'''Bellwether''': I'll go ahead, and I'll take that case now. :'''Judy''': ''[uneasily]'' Uh, you know what? I think Nick and I will just take this to the ZPD. :''[The duo are about to leave, but a giant ram blocks their way.]'' :'''Judy and Nick''': Run. :'''Bellwether''': ''[to her henchmen]'' Get them. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Judy and Nick have been thrown into a circular bird’s eye view exhibit by one of Bellwether's henchmen; the case was knocked out of their hands.]'' :'''Bellwether''': ''[laughs evilly, to Judy]'' Well, you should have just stayed at the carrot farm, huh? It really is too bad, I-I did like you. :'''Judy''': What are you gonna do? '''''Kill''' me?!'' :'''Bellwether''': ''[laughs]'' No, of course not.

Oh, Nick! :'''Bellwether''': ''[talks to the ZPD via cellphone, fake-panicked]'' Yes, police! There's a savage fox in the Natural History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please hurry! :'''Judy''': No, Nick. Don't do this. Fight it. :'''Bellwether''': Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages. ''[Nick appears to turn feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. Judy then cowers by the wall.]'' Gosh. Think of the headline: "Hero cop killed by savage fox". ''[Nick rips the fawn to pieces with his teeth.]'' :'''Judy''': So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power? :'''Bellwether''': Yeah. Pretty much. :'''Judy''': It won't work! :'''Bellwether''': Fear ''always'' works. And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way. :'''Judy''': ''[as Nick closes in on her, growling]'' Oh, Nick. No. :'''Bellwether''': ''[chuckles evilly]'' Bye-bye, bunny. :''[Nick locks his jaws on Judy's neck. Judy shrieks loudly.

''[pulls out the serum pellet from his pocket]'' Well, it's right here. :'''Judy''': What you got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries.

Boom. :''[Looking nervously, Bellwether tries to escape. However, she finds herself surrounded by Chief Bogo and the other Zootopia Police Department officers.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fabienne Growley''': Former Mayor Dawn Bellwether is behind bars today, guilty of masterminding the savage attacks that have plagued Zootopia of late. ''[showing Bellwether in an orange jumpsuit, in handcuffs, filled with contempt, as two Officers, Jackson and Krumpanski escort her through the crowd as photographers take pictures.]'' :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Her predecessor, Leodore Lionheart, denies any knowledge of her plot, claiming he was just trying to protect the city. :'''Lionheart''': ''[being interviewed by a porcupine, Quilda]'' Did I falsely imprison those animals? Well, yes. Yes, I did. It was a classic "doing the wrong thing for the right reason" kind of a deal. :'''Fabienne Growley''': In related news, doctors say the Night howler antidote is proving effective in rehabilitating the afflicted predators. <hr width="50%/> :'''Judy''': When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place, where everyone got along, and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations, we all make mistakes, which means - hey, glass half full! - We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you - try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us. <hr width=50%/> :'''Chief Bogo''': All right, all right, enough. '''''Shut it!'''''

You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir. :'''Chief Bogo''': Shut your mouth, Wilde! ''[Judy and the officers snicker, and Bogo takes out his glasses and the files.]'' Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, Delgato; Tundratown SWAT. ''[The officers stand up and leave.]'' Snarlov, Higgins, Wolfard; undercover.

''[Judy and Nick look shocked, as if saying "What?!". Then Bogo smiles.]'' Just kidding. ''[becomes serious again]'' We have reports of a street racer tearing up Savannah Central. Find him, shut him down. <hr width=50%/> :''[Judy and Nick are on their first patrol as a team.]'' :'''Nick''': So, are all rabbits bad drivers, or is it just you? :''[Judy playfully slams on the brakes, making Nick lurch forward.]'' :'''Judy''': ''[slyly]'' Oops.

We settled hard. :'''Stu''': See? That's the beauty of complacency, Jude. If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail! :'''Young Judy''': I like trying, actually. ''[jumps on a line of hay and skips]'' :'''Bonnie''': What your father means, hun, is that it's gonna be difficult, impossible even, for you to become a police officer. :'''Stu''': Right! There's never been a bunny cop. :'''Bonnie''': No. :'''Stu''': Bunnies don't do that. :'''Bonnie''': Never! :'''Stu''': Never. :'''Young Judy''': ''[disappointed]'' Oh... ''[enthusiasm picks up again]'' Then I guess I'll have to be the first one! Because I ''[runs to a stand, flips off of it, and lands, striking a pose]'' am gonna make the world a better place! :'''Stu''': ''[laughs nervously]'' Or, uh, heck, you know, if you wanna talk about making the world a better place, no better way to do it than becoming a carrot farmer. :'''Bonnie''': Yes! Your dad, me, your two-hundred seventy-five brothers and sisters, we're changing the world! :'''Stu''': Yeah. :'''Bonnie''': One carrot at a time! :'''Stu''': Amen to that. Carrot farming is a noble profession. <hr width=50%/> :''[Gideon is bullying Sharla, a young lamb with her friends, trying to take her tickets.]'' :'''Young Gideon''': Give me your tickets right now, or I'm gonna kick your meek little sheep butt! ''[shoves Sharla]'' :'''Sharla''': Ow! Cut it out, Gideon! :'''Young Gideon''': Baa-baa! ''[takes the tickets]'' What are you gonna do, cry? :'''Young Judy''': ''[out of nowhere]'' Hey! You heard her. Cut it out. :'''Young Gideon''': Nice costume, loser. What crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny could be a cop? :'''Young Judy''': ''[unfazed]'' Kindly return my friend's tickets. :'''Young Gideon''': Come get 'em. But watch out, 'cause I'm a fox, and like you said in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to ''eat'' prey, and that killer instinct is still in our "dunnah". :'''Travis''': Uh, I'm pretty much sure it's pronounced "DNA". :'''Young Gideon''': ''[shoving Travis]'' Don't tell me what I know, Travis! :'''Young Judy''': You don't scare me, Gideon. ''[Gideon shoves Judy onto the ground, knocking her police hat off her head.]'' :'''Young Gideon''': You scared now? :'''Travis''': Look at her nose twitch! She ''is'' scared! :'''Young Gideon''': Cry, little baby bunny. Cry-- ''[Judy kicks him in the face, shocking everyone; feels his lips]'' Aw, you don't know when to quit, do you? ''[retracts his claws and slashes Judy's cheek, offscreen, as she screams, leaving claw marks on her cheek; shoves her face in the dirt]'' I want you to remember this moment, the next time you think you'll ''ever'' be anything more than just a stupid carrot-farming dumb bunny! ''[leaves with Travis and they high-five each other, not realizing Judy sneakily took back the tickets. The children rush to Judy.]'' :'''Gareth''': That looks bad. :'''Sharla''': Are you okay, Judy? :'''Young Judy''': Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. ''[holds out the tickets]'' Here you go. :'''Sharla''': Wow! You got our tickets back! :'''Gareth''': You're awesome, Judy! :'''Sharla''': Yeah, that Gideon Grey doesn't know what he's talking about! :'''Young Judy''': Well, he was right about one thing: ''[puts her police hat back on, as determination spreads across her face]'' I ''don't'' know when to quit. <hr width=50%/> :''[Judy is with her parents and her other relatives at the train station as she gets ready for the train to Zootopia.]'' :'''Bonnie''': We're real proud of you, Judy. :'''Stu''': Yeah. And scared, too. :'''Bonnie''': Yes. :'''Stu''': Really, it's a kind of a "proud-scared" combo. I mean Zootopia! It's so far away. Such a big city. :'''Judy''': Guys, I've been working for this my whole life. :'''Bonnie''': We know, and we're just a little excited for you, but terrified. :'''Judy''': The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. :'''Stu''': And also, bears. We have bears to fear, too. To say nothing about lions, and wolves-- :'''Bonnie''': Wolves? :'''Stu''': Weasels. :'''Bonnie''': You play Cribbage with a weasel? :'''Stu''': Yeah, and he cheats like there's no tomorrow. You know what? Pretty much all predators, and Zootopia's full of them. :'''Bonnie''': Oh, Stu. :'''Stu''': And foxes are the worst. :'''Bonnie''': Actually, your father does have a point there. It's in their biology. Remember what happened with Gideon Grey? :'''Judy''': When I was 9, Gideon Grey was a jerk who happened to be a fox. I know plenty of bunnies who are jerks. :'''Stu''': Yeah, but just in case, we made you a little care package to take with you :'''Bonnie''': And I put some snacks in there. :'''Stu''': This is fox deterrent. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, I know. :'''Stu''': This is fox repellent. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, the deterrent and the repellent-- :'''Stu''': ''[shows Judy a fox taser]'' And check this out! ''[The fox taser unleashes a powerful zap, surprising him.]'' :'''Bonnie''': Oh, for goodness sake, she has no need for a fox taser, Stu. :'''Stu''': Oh, come on, when is there not a need for a fox taser? :'''Judy''': Okay, look, I will take this ''[shows her parents the fox repellent]'' to make you stop talking. :'''Stu''': Terrific! Everyone wins! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy meets two of her neighbors at her new apartment.]'' :'''Judy''': Oh, hi, I'm Judy, your new neighbor. :'''Bucky''': Yeah?

''[Judy walks up to the desk.]'' :'''Judy''': Excuse me! :'''Clawhauser''': ''[looking around in surprise]'' Hm? :'''Judy''': Down here! ''[Clawhauser looks out from his desk and sees Judy]'' Hi! :'''Clawhauser''': O.M. Goodness. ''[puts down his bowl of cereal, clearly surprised and excited]'' They really did hire a bunny. ''[Laughs]'' What?! Heh, I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be! :'''Judy''': Ooh, uh, you probably didn't know, but a bunny can call another bunny cute, but when other animals do it, it's a little... :'''Clawhauser''': ''[Gasps]'' I am so sorry! ''[pointing to himself]'' Me, Benjamin Clawhauser, the guy everyone thinks is just a flabby, donut-loving cop stereotyping you. Aw... :'''Judy''': ''[giggles]'' That's okay. ''[notices a donut stuck under Clawhauser's neck fold]'' Oh, you've actually - you've actually got... There's a... :'''Clawhauser''': Um... A what? :'''Judy''': In your neck, the fold... The - the, there's... :'''Clawhauser''': Where? ''[Pulls the donut out of his neck fat]'' Oh, there you went, you little dickens! ''[eats the donut whole.]'' Nom! :'''Judy''': ''[laughs nervously]'' I should get to roll call, so which way do I- :'''Clawhauser''': ''[points]'' Oh, bull pen's over there to the left. :'''Judy''': Great. Thank you! ''[Judy walks off to the bull pen as the other officers stare at her in astonishment.]'' :'''Clawhauser''': Aww! That poor little bunny's gonna get eaten alive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Chief Bogo''': First... we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room. ''[turns to an elephant officer]'' Francine. ''[they look at Francine in mild suspense]'' Happy birthday. :''[The suspense turns into excitement; officers around Francine get involved in a tussle]'' :'''Office Francine:''' Heh, oh yeah?

So kind, really. Can I pay you back? :'''Judy''': Oh no, my treat. It just - you know, it burns me up to see folks with such backward attitudes toward foxes. I just wanna say that you're a great dad and just a... A real articulate fella. :'''Nick''': Well, that is high praise. It's rare that I find someone so non-patronizing. Officer... :'''Judy''': Hopps. Mr... :'''Nick''': Wilde. Nick Wilde. ''[Judy and Nick shake paws]'' :'''Judy''': ''[to Finnick]'' And you, little guy, you want to be an elephant when you grow up? You be an elephant. Because this is Zootopia. ''[places a Zootopia Police sticker on Finnick]'' Anyone can be anything. ''[Finnick toots]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Judy spotted Nick and found out what he’s doing with the jumbo-pop, Nick explains that she’ll never be a cop.]'' :'''Nick''': All right, look, everyone comes to Zootopia thinking they can be anything they want. Well, you can’t. You can only be what you are. ''[points to himself]'' Sly fox, [points to Judy] dumb bunny. :'''Judy''': I am not a dumb bunny. ''[She sinks a bit and there is a soft squelch as she sinks to her knees]'' :'''Nick''': Right. ''[points down]'' And that's not wet cement. ''[Judy is seen up to her knees in cement; Three construction beavers take notice and glare at her. Nick walks off as Judy struggles to break loose]'' You'll never be a real cop. You’re a cute meter maid, though. Maybe a supervisor one day. Hang in there! ''[Nick turns a corner, leaving Judy upset.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy returns to her apartment with her feet covered in cement powder. She enters her room, puts her stuff on her desk, and cycles sadly through songs on the radio; "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M., "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen, "Can't Do Nuthin' Right" by Madisen Ward, and "I, Loser" by Winston Marshall.]'' :''[Throughout the music, Judy puts a container of Carrots for One in the microwave and watches it with a lachrymose look on her face. When it's finished, she takes it out, opens it, only to find only one dried carrot. Judy groans and lets it fall into the trash. Then her phone rings. Judy picks it up and sees her parents calling. Judy groans, puts on a forced smile, and answers her phone.]'' :'''Judy''': Oh, hey! It's my parents! :'''Bonnie''': Oh, there she is. Hi, sweetheart. :'''Stu''': Hey there, Jude the Dude. How was your first day on the force? :'''Judy''': It was real great. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah? Everything you ever hoped? :'''Judy''': Mm-hmm. Absolutely, and more. Everyone's so nice, and I feel like I'm really making a difference. :'''Stu''': ''[looks closely on the screen]'' Whoa, wait a second. Holy cripes, Bonnie, look at that. :'''Bonnie''': Oh, my sweet heavens! ''[hopefully]'' Judy, are you a meter maid? :'''Judy''': Oh, this? No! Oh, no, no! This is just a temporary thing. :'''Bonnie''': Oh, it's the safest job in the force. :'''Stu''': Oh, she's not a real cop. Our prayers have been answered! :'''Bonnie''': Glorious day! :'''Stu''': Oh, meter maid! Meter maid! Meter maid! ''Meter maid!'' :'''Judy''': Dad. ''Dad! '''Dad!'''''

[on the second-floor balcony; points to his office] :'''Officer''': ''[whispers; off-screen]'' Uh-oh. :'''Chief Bogo''': Abandoning your post, inciting a scurry, reckless endangerment of rodents! But to be fair, you did stop a master criminal from stealing two dozen moldy onions. ''[shows the bag, revealing plant bulbs]'' :'''Judy''': Mmm, hate to disagree with you, sir, but those aren't onions. Those are a crocus varietal called ''Midnicampum holicithias''. They're a Class C botanical, sir. Well, I grew up in a family where plant husbandry was kind of a thing. :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[annoyed]'' Shut your tiny mouth now!

She seems really upset. :'''Chief Bogo''': '''Not now!''' :'''Judy''': Sir, I don't wanna be a meter maid, I wanna be a real cop. :'''Chief Bogo''': Do you think the mayor asked what ''I'' ''wanted'' when he assigned you to me? :'''Judy''': But, sir, if-- :'''Chief Bogo''': Life isn't some cartoon musical where you ''sing a little song,'' and your insipid dreams '''''magically come true!'''''

I gotta go sit down. :'''Chief Bogo''': Ma'am, as I've told you, we're doing everything we can. :'''Mrs. Otterton''': My husband has been missing for 10 days. His name is Emmitt Otterton. :'''Chief Bogo''': Yes, I know. :'''Mrs. Otterton''': He's a florist. We have two beautiful children.

''[leaves the office]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': One second. ''[closes the door; sternly to Judy]'' You're fired. :'''Judy''': ''[shocked]'' What? Why? :'''Chief Bogo''': Insubordination! Now, I'm going to open this door, and you're going to tell that otter that you're a former meter maid with delusions of grandeur who will ''not be taking the case.'' ''[opens the door to see Mrs. Otterton with Bellwether]'' :'''Bellwether''': I just heard Officer Hopps is taking the case. :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[surprised]'' Assistant Mayor Bellwether. :'''Bellwether''': The Mammal Inclusion Initiative is really startin' to pay off. ''[chuckles]'' Mayor Lionheart is just gonna be so jazzed! :'''Chief Bogo''': No, no, let's not tell the mayor just yet. :'''Bellwether''': And I've sent it, and it is done, so I did do that.

Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't me. ''[Annoyed, Judy rides up and pulls up in front of Nick, blaring her siren.]'' Hey, Carrots, you're gonna wake the baby. ''[refers to Finnick]'' I gotta get to work. :'''Judy''': ''[gets out of her cart with the folder, a notepad, and a carrot pen]'' This is important, sir. I think your ''$10'' worth of pawpsicles can wait. :'''Nick''': Heh. I make 200 bucks ''a day,'' Fluff. 365 days a year, since I was ''12.'' And time is money. Hop along. :'''Judy''': Please, just look at the picture. ''[shows a close-up picture of Emmitt eating a pawsicle]'' You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him? :'''Nick''': I know everybody. And I also know that somewhere, there's a toy store missin' its stuffed animal, so why don't you get back to your box? :'''Judy''': ''[her smile drops and becomes serious]'' Fine. Then we’ll have to do this the hard way. :''[Attaches a clamp to Nick’s stroller.]'' :'''Nick''': Did you just boot my stroller? :'''Judy''': Nicholas Wilde, you are under arrest. :'''Nick''': ''[scoffs]'' For what? ''[in a baby voice; mockingly]'' Hurting your feewings? :'''Judy''': ''[smiles slyly]'' Felony tax evasion. ''[Nick's smile drops, and his eyes widen in shock as Judy writes.]'' Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, which is... $1,460,000, ''I think.'' I mean, I ''am'' just a "dumb bunny", but we ''are'' good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here... '''''0!''''' ''[Nick's face freezes in shock.]'' Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense. Five years jail time. :'''Nick''': Well, it's my word against yours. :''[Judy pulls out her carrot pen and plays back Nick's confession;'' ''through the carrot pen]'' "(I make) 200 bucks ''a day''. Fluff. 365 days a year, since I was ''12".'' :'''Judy''': Actually, it's ''your'' word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to help me find this poor missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawsicles is the prison cafeteria. ''[smirks mockingly]'' It's called a hustle, sweetheart. :''[A slight pause.]'' :'''Finnick''': She hustled you. ''[opens the stroller, laughing]'' She hustled you '''''good!''''' You a cop now, Nick! You gon' need one o' these. ''[slaps his badge sticker on Nick's shirt. Nick frowns.]'' Have fun working with the fuzz!

''[laughs]'' Haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. But, hey, you should talk to his [[yoga]] instructor. I'd be happy to take you back. :'''Judy''': Oh, thank you so much, I'd appreciate that more than you can imagine, it'd be such an-- ''[covers her eyes]'' '''''OHHHHHH!''''' You are naked! :'''Yax''': Huh? Oh, for sure! We're a naturalist club! ''[laughs]'' :'''Nick''': Yeah. In Zootopia, anyone can be anything. And these guys, they be naked. :'''Yax''': Nangi's just on the other side of the pleasure pool. ''[Judy sees many nude animals, and she is shocked]'' :'''Nick''': Oh, boy. Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there's no shame in calling quits. :'''Judy''': Yes, there is. :'''Nick''': ''[sarcastically]'' Boy, that's the spirit. :'''Yax''': Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird, but you know what I say is weird? Clothes on animals. Here we go! ''[Judy groans; the trio comes across Nangi]'' As you can see, Nangi's an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything. Hey, Nangi, these dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter. :'''Nangi''': Who? :'''Yax''': Uh, Emmitt Otterton? Been coming to your yoga class for, like, 6 years? :'''Nangi''': I have no memory of this beaver. :'''Judy''': He's an otter, actually. :'''Yax''': He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago, remember? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, he was wearing a cable knit sweater vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a silver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': ''[with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C]'' Nope. :'''Judy''': Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you? :'''Yax''': Oh, for sure. It was 2-9-T-H-D-0-3. :''[Nick seems amazed at Nangi's flexibility and looks at Judy's notes, and briefly nods]'' :'''Judy''': ''[writing it down]'' (2-9-T-H-D-)0-3. Wow, this is a lot of great info, thank you. :'''Yax''': Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap.

It's a bummer. :'''Judy''': You wasted the day on purpose! :'''Nick''': Madam, I have a ''fake badge''. I would never impede your pretend investigation. :'''Judy''': It's not a pretend investigation. ''[takes out Emmitt's family picture]'' Look, see? See him? This otter is missing. :'''Nick''': Well, they should've gotten a real cop to find him. :'''Judy''': ''[puts the picture away]'' What is your problem? Does seeing me fail somehow make you feel better about your own sad, miserable life? :'''Nick''': It does, 100%. Now, since you're sans warrant, I guess we're... done? :'''Judy''': ''[sighs]'' Fine.

''[alarmed]'' I know whose car this is. We gotta go. :'''Judy''': Why? Whose car is it? :'''Nick''': The most feared crime boss in Tundratown. They call him Mr. Big, and he does ''not'' like me, so we gotta go. :'''Judy''': I'm not leaving. This is a crime scene. :'''Nick''': Well, it's gonna be an even bigger crime scene if Mr. Big finds me here, ''[opens the limo’s door]'' so we're leaving ''right now.''

I welcomed you into my home. We broke bread together. Grandmama made you a cannoli. And how did you repay my generosity? With a rug. Made from the butt of a skunk. A skunk-butt rug. You disrespected me. You disrespected my grandmama, who I buried in that skunk-butt rug.

So, intimidate me all you want, I'm gonna find out what you did to that otter if it's the ''last thing I do.'' :'''Mr. Big''': Meh. Then I have only one request: Say hello to Grandmama.

Nick looks at them, dumbfounded.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[At Fru Fru's wedding, Mr. Big talks to Judy about what happened to Emmitt Otterton.]'' :'''Mr. Big''': Otterton is my florist. He's like a part of the family. He had something important he wanted to discuss. That's why I sent that car to pick him up. But he never arrived. :'''Judy''': Because he was attacked. :'''Mr. Big''': No. He attacked. :'''Judy''': Otterton? :'''Mr. Big''': Otterton. He went crazy - ripped up the car, scared my driver half to death ''[his eyes are visible for a moment and widen as he says this last part]'', and disappeared into the night. ''[he holds his paw out for emphasis]'' :'''Judy''': But he's a sweet little otter. :'''Mr. Big''': Hmm.

Animals don't "go savage". :'''Judy''': I thought so too... 'Till I saw this. ''[Judy moves the leaves to show Manchas, but he's disappear]'' '''What?''' He was right here! :'''Chief Bogo''': The savage jaguar? :'''Judy''': Sir, I know what I saw. He almost killed us! :'''Chief Bogo''': Or maybe any aggressive predator looks "savage" to you rabbits.

She will not be giving you that badge. Look, you gave her a... a clown vest, a three-wheeled joke-mobile, and two days to solve a case you guys haven't cracked in two weeks? ''[Chief Bogo looks slightly ashamed]'' Yeah, it's no wonder she needed to get help from a fox. None of you guys were gonna help her, were you? ''[Chief Bogo tries to speak but Nick cuts him off]'' Here's the thing, chief. You gave her the 48 hours, so technically we still have... ''[counts and holds out his paws]'' ten left to find our Mr. Otterton, and that is exactly what we're gonna do. So, if you'll excuse us, we have a very big lead to follow, and a case to crack. Good day. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Nick is finishing telling Judy his story of how he, as a kid, was bullied by prey Junior Ranger Scout kids.]'' :'''Nick''': I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. :'''Judy''': And two? :'''Nick''': If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point trying to be anything else. :'''Judy''': ''[comfortingly]'' Nick, you are ''so'' much more than that. ''[puts her paw on Nick's arm, who becomes uncomfortable and quickly changes the subject]'' :'''Nick''': Boy, look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? ''[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter]'' Chuck, how are things looking on the jam-cams? :'''Judy''': Nick, I’m glad you told me. :'''Nick''': ''[realizing]'' The jam-cams. :'''Judy''': Seriously, it's okay. :'''Nick''': No, no, no. Shh. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy! Whatever happened to that jaguar-- :'''Judy''': The traffic cams would have caught it! :'''Nick''': Bingo! :'''Judy''': Ha-ho! Pretty sneaky, slick! :'''Nick''': However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt Chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now. :'''Judy''': No. ''[gets an idea]'' But I have a friend at City Hall who might. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy and Nick are at the Cliffside Asylum, hiding at an empty cell and eavesdropping a conversation between Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Badger.]'' :'''Lionheart''': ''[annoyed]'' Enough!

What do you mean, "biology"? :'''Dr. Badger''': The only animals going savage are predators. We ''cannot'' keep it a secret, we ''need'' to come forward. :'''Lionheart''': ''[sarcastically]'' Hmmm. Great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor... ''[yells angrily]'' '''''WHO IS A LION?!

A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals. :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest.

It's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences. ''[looks behind herself for a moment and gestures]'' This is not the Zootopia I know. ''[Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.]'' The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. ''[On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.]'' We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages.

It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. ''[Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty.

They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[looks at the cover and gives thought]'' I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it. :'''Chief Bogo''': Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you. :'''Judy''': With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. ''[takes off her badge]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[shocked]'' Hopps. :'''Bellwether''': ''[also shocked]'' Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid.

My family always just called them "Night Howlers". :'''Judy''': I'm sor-- What did you say? :'''Stu''': Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use them to keep bugs off the produce. But I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of your Uncle Terry. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts. :'''Stu''': He bit the dickens out of your mother. :'''Judy''': ''[putting the pieces together]'' A bunny ''can'' go savage. :'''Bonnie''': Savage? Well, that's a strong word. But it did hurt like the devil. :'''Stu''': Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage. :'''Judy''': ''[realizing the truth]'' Night Howlers aren't wolves. They’re flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. ''[gasps]'' That's it! That's what I've been missing! ''[races away towards Stu’s truck, then turns back]'' Oh! Keys! Keys, keys, keys! Hurry! Come on! ''[Stu tosses Judy the keys to his truck.]'' Thank you! I love you, bye!

Night Howlers aren't wolves. They're toxic flowers. I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage. :'''Nick''': ''[sarcastically and still upset with Judy]'' Wow. ''[gets up]'' Isn't that interesting? ''[walks under the bridge, while Judy follows him]'' :'''Judy''': Wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't forgive me either. ''[Nick stops walking but doesn't look at Judy.]'' I was ignorant, and irresponsible, and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without you. ''[Nick still refuses to look at her.]'' And-- And after we're done, you can hate me. And tha-- ''[voice breaking]'' And that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you.

I'll let you erase it...in 48 hours. ''[Judy tears up with joy, wipes away her tears and, emotionally exhausted, walks towards Nick.]'' All right, get in here. ''[Judy walks closer and leans her face on Nick's torso, still sobbing; Nick embraces her.]'' Okay. Oh, you bunnies. You're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is? ''[Judy giggles and tries to grab the pen.]'' You ''are'' standing on my tail, though. Off, off-off-off. :'''Judy''': Oh!

Come on! :'''Nick''': ''[shows up with Judy]'' Well, well, look who it is. The Duke of Bootleg. :'''Weaselton''': What's it to you, Wilde? Shouldn't you be melting down a pawpsicle or something? ''[notices and recognizes Judy; smugly]'' Hey, if it isn't Flopsy the Copsy. :'''Judy''': We both know those weren't moldy onions I caught you stealing. ''[sternly]'' What were you gonna do with those Night Howlers, Wesselton? :'''Weaselton''': [[w:Frozen (2013 film)|It's Weaselton. Duke Weaselton]]. And I ain't talkin', rabbit.

I'll talk! I'll talk! I stole them Night Howlers so I could sell 'em. They offered me what I couldn't refuse: Money. :'''Judy''': And to whom did you sell them? :'''Weaselton''': A ram named Doug. We got a drop spot underground. Just watch it. Doug is the opposite of friendly. He's '''''un'''friendly.'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[After their subway car crashes and burns, Judy and Nick enter the Natural History Museum as a shortcut to the ZPD, with the case with the dart gun and the serum pellet inside as evidence.

Please hurry! :'''Judy''': No, Nick. Don't do this. Fight it. :'''Bellwether''': Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages. ''[Nick appears to turn feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. Judy then cowers by the wall.]'' Gosh. Think of the headline: "Hero cop killed by savage fox". ''[Nick rips the fawn to pieces with his teeth.]'' :'''Judy''': So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power? :'''Bellwether''': Yeah. Pretty much. :'''Judy''': It won't work! :'''Bellwether''': Fear ''always'' works. And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way. :'''Judy''': ''[as Nick closes in on her, growling]'' Oh, Nick. No. :'''Bellwether''': ''[chuckles evilly]'' Bye-bye, bunny. :''[Nick locks his jaws on Judy's neck. Judy shrieks loudly.

''[pulls out the serum pellet from his pocket]'' Well, it's right here. :'''Judy''': What you got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries.

''[showing Bellwether in an orange jumpsuit, in handcuffs, filled with contempt, as two Officers, Jackson and Krumpanski escort her through the crowd as photographers take pictures.]'' :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Her predecessor, Leodore Lionheart, denies any knowledge of her plot, claiming he was just trying to protect the city. :'''Lionheart''': ''[being interviewed by a porcupine, Quilda]'' Did I falsely imprison those animals? Well, yes. Yes, I did. It was a classic "doing the wrong thing for the right reason" kind of a deal. :'''Fabienne Growley''': In related news, doctors say the Night howler antidote is proving effective in rehabilitating the afflicted predators. <hr width="50%/> :'''Judy''': When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place, where everyone got along, and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations, we all make mistakes, which means - hey, glass half full! - We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you - try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us. <hr width=50%/> :'''Chief Bogo''': All right, all right, enough. '''''Shut it!'''''

You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir. :'''Chief Bogo''': Shut your mouth, Wilde! ''[Judy and the officers snicker, and Bogo takes out his glasses and the files.]'' Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, Delgato; Tundratown SWAT.

I should-- :'''Bonnie''': That's right, you get some rest. :'''Stu''': Those meters aren't gonna maid themselves. :'''Bonnie''': Bye-bye. ''[hangs up]'' :'''Judy''': ''[annoyed]'' Buh-bye.

Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't me. ''[Annoyed, Judy rides up and pulls up in front of Nick, blaring her siren.]'' Hey, Carrots, you're gonna wake the baby. ''[refers to Finnick]'' I gotta get to work. :'''Judy''': ''[gets out of her cart with the folder, a notepad, and a carrot pen]'' This is important, sir. I think your ''$10'' worth of pawpsicles can wait. :'''Nick''': Heh. I make 200 bucks ''a day,'' Fluff. 365 days a year, since I was ''12.'' And time is money. Hop along. :'''Judy''': Please, just look at the picture. ''[shows a close-up picture of Emmitt eating a pawsicle]'' You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him? :'''Nick''': I know everybody. And I also know that somewhere, there's a toy store missin' its stuffed animal, so why don't you get back to your box? :'''Judy''': ''[her smile drops and becomes serious]'' Fine. Then we’ll have to do this the hard way. :''[Attaches a clamp to Nick’s stroller.]'' :'''Nick''': Did you just boot my stroller? :'''Judy''': Nicholas Wilde, you are under arrest. :'''Nick''': ''[scoffs]'' For what?

''[Nick's smile drops, and his eyes widen in shock as Judy writes.]'' Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, which is... $1,460,000, ''I think.'' I mean, I ''am'' just a "dumb bunny", but we ''are'' good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here... '''''0!'''''

Five years jail time. :'''Nick''': Well, it's my word against yours. :''[Judy pulls out her carrot pen and plays back Nick's confession;'' ''through the carrot pen]'' "(I make) 200 bucks ''a day''.

Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there's no shame in calling quits. :'''Judy''': Yes, there is. :'''Nick''': ''[sarcastically]'' Boy, that's the spirit. :'''Yax''': Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird, but you know what I say is weird? Clothes on animals. Here we go! ''[Judy groans; the trio comes across Nangi]'' As you can see, Nangi's an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything. Hey, Nangi, these dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter. :'''Nangi''': Who? :'''Yax''': Uh, Emmitt Otterton? Been coming to your yoga class for, like, 6 years? :'''Nangi''': I have no memory of this beaver. :'''Judy''': He's an otter, actually. :'''Yax''': He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago, remember? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, he was wearing a cable knit sweater vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': No. :'''Yax''': Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a silver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi? :'''Nangi''': ''[with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C]'' Nope. :'''Judy''': Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you? :'''Yax''': Oh, for sure.

''[to the ZPD]'' Let's go! ''[starts to leave; Judy tries to stop him]'' :'''Judy''': No. Wait! Sir, I'm not the only one who saw him. ''[looks at Nick, who is between the officers]'' Nick! :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[scoffs]'' You think I'm gonna believe a fox? :'''Judy''': Well, he was a key witness, and I- :'''Chief Bogo''': Two days to find the otter, or you quit. That was the deal. ''[holds out his hoof]'' Badge. ''[Nick looks at Judy and Chief Bogo, shocked]'' :'''Judy''': But sir-- :'''Chief Bogo''': '''BADGE!''' :''[Judy reluctantly starts to unclip her badge, until Nick speaks.]'' :'''Nick''': ''[to Chief Bogo]'' Uh, no. :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[looking at Nick incredulously]'' What did you say, fox? :'''Nick''': Sorry, what I said was, '''''"No!"''''' She will not be giving you that badge. Look, you gave her a... a clown vest, a three-wheeled joke-mobile, and two days to solve a case you guys haven't cracked in two weeks? ''[Chief Bogo looks slightly ashamed]'' Yeah, it's no wonder she needed to get help from a fox. None of you guys were gonna help her, were you? ''[Chief Bogo tries to speak but Nick cuts him off]'' Here's the thing, chief. You gave her the 48 hours, so technically we still have... ''[counts and holds out his paws]'' ten left to find our Mr. Otterton, and that is exactly what we're gonna do. So, if you'll excuse us, we have a very big lead to follow, and a case to crack. Good day. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Nick is finishing telling Judy his story of how he, as a kid, was bullied by prey Junior Ranger Scout kids.]'' :'''Nick''': I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. :'''Judy''': And two? :'''Nick''': If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point trying to be anything else. :'''Judy''': ''[comfortingly]'' Nick, you are ''so'' much more than that. ''[puts her paw on Nick's arm, who becomes uncomfortable and quickly changes the subject]'' :'''Nick''': Boy, look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? ''[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter]'' Chuck, how are things looking on the jam-cams? :'''Judy''': Nick, I’m glad you told me. :'''Nick''': ''[realizing]'' The jam-cams. :'''Judy''': Seriously, it's okay. :'''Nick''': No, no, no. Shh. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy! Whatever happened to that jaguar-- :'''Judy''': The traffic cams would have caught it! :'''Nick''': Bingo! :'''Judy''': Ha-ho! Pretty sneaky, slick! :'''Nick''': However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt Chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now. :'''Judy''': No. ''[gets an idea]'' But I have a friend at City Hall who might. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy and Nick are at the Cliffside Asylum, hiding at an empty cell and eavesdropping a conversation between Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Badger.]'' :'''Lionheart''': ''[annoyed]'' Enough! I don't want excuses, Doctor! I want answers! :'''Dr. Badger:''' Mayor Lionheart, please. We're doing everything we can. :'''Lionheart''': Really? 'Cause I've got a dozen-and-a-half animals in here who'd gone off-the-rails crazy, and you can't tell me why! Now, I'd call that awfully far from "doing everything"! :'''Dr. Badger''': Sir, it may be time to consider their biology. :'''Lionheart''': What? What do you mean, "biology"? :'''Dr. Badger''': The only animals going savage are predators. We ''cannot'' keep it a secret, we ''need'' to come forward. :'''Lionheart''': ''[sarcastically]'' Hmmm. Great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor... ''[yells angrily]'' '''''WHO IS A LION?! I'LL BE RUINED!''''' :'''Dr. Badger''': Well, what does Chief Bogo say? :'''Lionheart''': Chief Bogo doesn't know, and ''we are going to keep it that way.'' :'''Judy''': ''[gasps as her phone starts ringing because of her parents calling her]'' Oh, no, no, no! :'''Lionheart''': ''[having heard Judy's phone ring]'' Someone's here! :'''Dr. Badger''': ''[ushering Lionheart out of the room]'' Sir, you need to go. Now. Security, sweep the area!

"These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious? :'''Judy''': I just stated the facts of the case. I mean, it's not like a bunny could go savage. :'''Nick''': Right. But a fox could, huh? :'''Judy''': Nick, stop it. You're not like them. :'''Nick''': ''[angrily]'' Oh, there's a ''"them"'' now? :'''Judy''': ''[annoyed sigh]'' You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator. :'''Nick''': The kind that needs to be muzzled? (The kind you thought you have to manipulate or trick into helping you crack a case?) The kind that makes you think you need to carry around fox repellent? Yeah, don't think I didn't notice ''that'' little item the first time we met. So, l-let me ask you a question. Are you afraid of me? ''[Judy stares at Nick in disbelief, her nose slightly twitching in fear.]'' Do you think I might go nuts? You think I might go ''savage?'' You think I might try to... ''[jumps forward]'' '''''EAT YOU?!''''' ''[Judy gasps, instinctively jumps back and puts her hand over the fox repellent.]'' I knew it. ''[scoffs]'' Just when I thought somebody actually believed in me, huh? (You still think I'm a shifty, low life, worse, a savage.) ''[gives Judy back the application she gave him for the ZPD and leaves]'' Probably best if you don't have a predator as a partner. :''[Judy looks at the application that is completely filled out, looks up, sees an offended Nick storming off, tearing off his badge sticker, and throwing it down on the ground. She becomes shocked.]'' :'''Judy''': No, Nick! Nick! ''[tries to follow Nick, but is blocked by the reporters]'' :'''Beaver reporter''': Officer Hopps, were you just threatened by that predator? :'''Judy''': No, he’s my friend. :'''Rabbit reporter''': We can't even trust our own friends? :'''Judy''': That is not what I said.

A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals. :'''Peter Moosebridge''': Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest. ''[Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]'' :'''Frantic pig''': ''[with hostility]'' Go back to the forest, predator! :'''Female leopard''': ''[holding up a sign; offended]'' I'm from the savannah! :'''Gazelle''': ''[interviewed]'' Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences. ''[looks behind herself for a moment and gestures]'' This is not the Zootopia I know. ''[Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.]'' The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. ''[On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.]'' We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages. ''[In the asylum, Mrs. Otterton sees her husband in his savage state, tethered to a pole in the middle of the room, snarling and pacing. Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]'' :'''Mrs. Otterton''': ''[sadly]'' That's not my Emmitt. ''[Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]'' :'''Gazelle''': We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love. :'''Chief Bogo''': Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us. :'''Judy''': The mayor? Why? :'''Chief Bogo''': It would seem you've arrived. :'''Judy''': ''[follows Bogo, and sees Clawhauser packing his stuff because he was demoted]'' Clawhauser? What are you doing? :'''Clawhauser''': ''[sadly]'' Um, they thought it would be better if a predator, such as myself, wasn't the first face that you see when you walk into the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[shocked]'' What? :'''Clawhauser''': They're gonna move me to records. It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. ''[Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty. Bogo calls to her by the door.]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': Hopps! :''[The scene changes to Bellwether’s office, where Judy is holding a ZPD poster displaying her smiling face. She puts it down and looks at Bellwether.]'' :'''Judy''': Um, I don't understand. :'''Bellwether''': Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD. :'''Judy''': ''[looks at the cover and gives thought]'' I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it. :'''Chief Bogo''': Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you. :'''Judy''': With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. ''[takes off her badge]'' :'''Chief Bogo''': ''[shocked]'' Hopps. :'''Bellwether''': ''[also shocked]'' Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit. :'''Judy:''' ''[puts her badge on the desk]'' Thank you for the opportunity. ''[walks out of Bellwether's office, downcast]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy, now a carrot farmer, sees an adult Gideon Grey getting out of his pie truck.]'' :'''Judy''': Is that... Gideon Grey? :'''Stu''': Yep! It sure is. We work with him now. :'''Bonnie''': He's our partner, and we never would have considered it had you not opened our minds. :'''Stu''': That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the top pastry chefs in the Tri-Burrows. :'''Judy''': ''[amazed]'' That's-- That's really cool, you guys. ''[Gideon takes out pastries but looks up when he hears Judy.]'' Gideon Grey. I'll be darned. :'''Gideon''': ''[sincerely]'' Hey, Judy. I would just like to say, I-I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth. I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt, and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression. I was a ''major jerk.'' :'''Judy''': Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk. ''[smiles; Gideon takes out a tray of pies from his truck.]'' :'''Gideon''': ''[smiles]'' Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies. :''[Judy, her parents, and Gideon watch some bunny kids running through a nearby field towards some flowers.]'' :'''Stu''': Hey, kids, don't you run through the ''Midnicampum holicithias!'' :'''Bunny kid''': Whoa, whoa, whoa! ''[he and the others stop running and move away from the flowers]'' :'''Gideon''': Well, now, ''there's'' a $4-word, Mr. H. My family always just called them "Night Howlers". :'''Judy''': I'm sor-- What did you say? :'''Stu''': Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use them to keep bugs off the produce. But I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of your Uncle Terry. :'''Bonnie''': Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts. :'''Stu''': He bit the dickens out of your mother. :'''Judy''': ''[putting the pieces together]'' A bunny ''can'' go savage. :'''Bonnie''': Savage? Well, that's a strong word. But it did hurt like the devil. :'''Stu''': Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage. :'''Judy''': ''[realizing the truth]'' Night Howlers aren't wolves. They’re flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. ''[gasps]'' That's it! That's what I've been missing! ''[races away towards Stu’s truck, then turns back]'' Oh! Keys! Keys, keys, keys! Hurry! Come on! ''[Stu tosses Judy the keys to his truck.]'' Thank you! I love you, bye! ''[gets in the truck, starts it up and races back towards Zootopia]'' :'''Stu''': You catch any of that, Bon? :'''Bonnie''': Not one bit. :'''Gideon''': Oh, that makes me feel a little bit better, I-I thought she was talking in tongues or something. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Judy has found Nick lounging near a bridge, and tries to reconcile with him.]'' :'''Judy''': Oh, Nick! Night Howlers aren't wolves. They're toxic flowers. I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage. :'''Nick''': ''[sarcastically and still upset with Judy]'' Wow. ''[gets up]'' Isn't that interesting? ''[walks under the bridge, while Judy follows him]'' :'''Judy''': Wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't forgive me either. ''[Nick stops walking but doesn't look at Judy.]'' I was ignorant, and irresponsible, and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without you. ''[Nick still refuses to look at her.]'' And-- And after we're done, you can hate me. And tha-- ''[voice breaking]'' And that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you.

''[Judy walks closer and leans her face on Nick's torso, still sobbing; Nick embraces her.]'' Okay. Oh, you bunnies. You're so emotional. There we go, deep breath.

He was printing millions of counterfeit dollars in the basement with his printing press. What we originally thought was Moldova, was really green ink. ''[Velma removed the gloves, revealing it to be green ink]'' See. :'''Mr. Beeman''': Ugh... And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for that big dog and you meddling kids! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': I need a real, live ghost. :'''Velma''': That's an oxymoron, Daph. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': My! Lena wasn't kidding. This place is crawling with cats. :'''Scooby''': Rats? Rats! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Simone''': ''[points to Scooby for crashing into her while chasing after one of her cats]'' Who brought this... this... dog?! :'''Scooby''': Dog? Where? :'''Daphne''': I'm terribly sorry. We should have held onto him better. I'm Daphne Blake, of ''"Coast to Coast."'' You know, the TV show? :'''Simone''': We do not have television on my island. Lena, what are they doing here? :'''Lena''': It's all my fault, Ms. Lenoir. I heard these folks say they wanted to see a real haunted house. So I thought... :'''Simone''': You might show them mine. I see. Really, Lena. :'''Daphne''': But your house is simply beautiful, Ms. Lenoir. Isn't it, Fred? :'''Fred''': Picture, perfect. :'''Simone''': It has been in my family for generations. It was a pepper plantation. Some of the hottest peppers in Louisiana grow on this island. :'''Shaggy''': We've hit the proverbial chili pepper jackpot! :'''Velma''': So, Ms. Lenoir, is your house really... :'''Simone''': Haunted? Yes. It is an old house with restless spirits. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Wow, a real case of levitation. This just gets better and better. :'''Velma''': Maybe from where you're standing. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Freddie, what on Earth are you doing? :'''Fred''': Uh, Scooby and Shaggy... :'''Shaggy''': ...Saw another ghost. ''[opens the door]'' In here. :'''Daphne''': I don't see anything. :'''Shaggy''': Like, in the mirror. It's some civil war guy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fred''': ''[trying to yank off a zombie's "mask"]'' It's the gardener! :'''Daphne''': No. :'''Fred''': It's the fisherman! :'''Shaggy''': No. :'''Fred''': It's the ferryman! :'''Scooby''': Ro. :'''Fred''': Maybe it's... ''[rips the zombie's head off]'' real? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''': Where are we? :'''Velma''': Looks to me like a place for voodoo rituals. ''[suspiciously]'' But why don't we just ask... ''Lena?'' :'''Fred''': What are you talking about? :'''Velma''': Her story about Simone getting dragged by zombies wasn't true. I saw the footprints of Simone's heels. She wasn't dragged; she ''walked'' down that tunnel! :''[The roof grate opens]'' :'''Simone''': ''[steps out of the shadows; revealing her true colors]'' Very clever, Velma... but it's too late. ''[chuckles sinisterly, then holds up the wax voodoo dolls of Daphne and Velma, sending them back up against the wall]'' :'''Lena''': ''[to Fred; also revealing '''her''' true colors]'' Sorry, Freddy. I really ''do'' like you. ''[sends him flying back up against the wall with a wax voodoo doll of him]'' :'''Fred''': What would you do if you didn't like me? :'''Beau''': Hey! ''[Lena holds up a wax voodoo doll of him and sends him flying back with the others]'' :''[The two women tie up the voodoo doll's arms and legs together, trapping them]'' :'''Velma''': ''[gasps]'' Voodoo dolls! :'''Simone''': These wax dolls do come in handy. :'''Velma''': So that's where the cleaning cloth for my glasses went! ''[to Beau; grunts]'' Sorry I suspected you. :'''Beau''': Apology… ''[grunts]'' accepted. :'''Simone''': The harvest moon will soon reach the midnight point on this moondial, and then the ceremony will begin. :'''Fred''': What ceremony? :'''Daphne''': ''[grunting; threatening]'' You won't get away with this! :'''Simone''': I've been getting away with it for ''200 years. [snickers and gains were-cat features; the captives gasp]'' :'''Fred''': At least, Scoob and Shaggy are still free... maybe. :'''Lena''': ''[also with were-cat features]'' I heard that, Fred! Those two simpletons? We didn't even bother making wax dolls of them! Ha! A waste of time and magic wax! :'''Fred''': Just what are you planning to do to us? :'''Simone''': Ah, it's simple: Every harvest moon, I must drain the life force from victims lured to my island, to preserve my immortality. :'''Daphne''': This is more haunted stuff than I really wanted. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Velma''': If you're as old as you say you are, then I'll bet you're the one who found Morgan Moonscar's treasure. :'''Simone''': ''Morgan Moonscar! [Flashback starts; voice-over]'' He was the cause of all this. I was one of a group of settlers who made this island our home. We looked to our Cat God for a bountiful harvest. Until that night, when ''he'' came ashore. ''[the islanders all dance and party when Morgan and his crew appear and attack before Past Simone and Lena run away]'' He drove the islanders into the bayou. All except for Lena and myself. ''[Past Simone and Lena gasp in horror as they watch the islanders run into the bayou and get eaten alive by a group alligators; the two pray to the Cat God in a secret passage way, seeking revenge on Morgan and his crew]'' We uttered a curse on the pirates, to destroy them as they had destroyed our island. Our wish was granted. ''[Past Simone and Lena transform into were-cats and leave the cave before coming across Morgan and his crew digging a hole in the ground to put a treasure chest inside]'' We became cat creatures and destroyed the pirates. ''[Morgan screams; flashback fades]'' Only afterwards, did we discover that invoking the Cat God's power had cursed us as well. :''[Flashback resumes]'' :'''Lena''': ''[voice-over]'' Over the years, boats continue to come to our island. One was full of spice traders who started a pepper plantation. The plantation flourished-- :'''Simone''': At least, until the Harvest Moon. ''[A man screams; flashback fades]'' Sometimes, it became necessary for Lena to lure outsiders back to the island. :'''Fred''': ''[realizing]'' Just like you lured ''us.'' :'''Lena''': I've had ''years'' of practice. :'''Daphne''': And those zombies are just the poor souls you drained. They were just trying to warn us so we wouldn't suffer the same fate they did. :'''Simone''': Pretty smart for a television reporter. :''[Snarling is heard from above]'' :'''Lena''': Sounds like Jacques has found your frightened friends. :'''Fred''': Jacques? :'''Simone''': We needed a ferry driver. The old man wanted immortality, so we gave it to him. <hr width="50%"/> :''[As Lena, Simone, and Jacques corner the Mystery Gang and Beau, they suddenly start to disintegrate and shriek in pain]'' :'''Velma''': ''[looking at the moon dial]'' Looks like your nine lives are up! :''[The shadow on the moon dial has passed the midnight alignment, expiring their curse, and Lena, Simone, and Jacques have fully disintegrated into nothing but dust and bones, instantly destroyed]'' :'''Shaggy''': ''[as the zombies start disintegrating into their spirits]'' Zoinks! Like, what's happening to them? :'''Velma''': Their spirits have been avenged, Shaggy. So they can finally rest in peace. :'''Jackson T.

I've been meaning to fix that thing for years. What's up, Mayor? :'''Mayor Corey''': Well, Ben. I feel really bad about everything and I want to apologize for using your ancestor in our little publicity stunt. :'''Mr. McKnight''': Yeah, the tourist trade was so slow, we were desperate. :'''Mayor Corey''': Right and you once told me that supernatural phenomenon always attracts people. :'''Mr. McKnight''': It was just natural to use Sarah in all this...we accidentally dug up her grave. :'''Ben''': ''(astounded)'' What grave?! :'''Mayor Corey''': I'm sorry, Ben. But you see, I lied to you when you asked me if we found anything of Sarah's while we were building the Puritan village. :'''Mr. McKnight''': We did; it was her grave marker. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Daphne''' (noticing the book's cover is not innocent): Looks kind of evil to belong to a wiccan healer. :'''Velma''': Ben, that doesn't seem to be a journal at all. :'''Ben''': ''(reveals his true colors)'' Because it isn't, Velma. It's a spellbook! :'''Velma''': ''(gasps)'' :'''Ben''': You see, Sarah wasn't a Wiccan. She was indeed a witch! :'''Mayor Corey and Mr. McKnight''': ''(gasp)'' :'''Thorn, Luna, and Dusk''': ''(gasp)'' :'''Thorn''': A real witch? :'''Dusk''': Heavy. :'''Ben''': And since Sarah's blood runs in my veins, I guess that makes me... a warlock! :'''Shaggy''': ''(whimpers)'' :'''Scooby''': Warlock? :'''Ben''': The Wiccans imprisoned Sarah in her own spellbook, and you helped me find it. :'''Velma''': You lied to me, Ben! :'''Ben''': Well, gee. I had to. I've been searching for years, then I read about your exploits. ''(in a flashback)'' I knew if anyone could help me find the book, it was you and your friends. I orchestrated the whole mummy scheme, paying off the archaeologists ''(Perkins and Griswald)'' and the security guards just to lure you to the museum so we could meet. ''(back in the present)'' ''(chuckles evilly)'' Yes, Velma. I tricked you into helping me, and it worked. :'''Fred''': ''(to Mayor Corey and Mr. McKnight)'' And you were in on Ben's plan, too! :'''Mayor Corey''': Huh? No! We're as surprised as you are, uh, honest! :'''Ben''': For once, he's telling the truth. That stupid fake ghost was the town's idea, but it did work to my advantage. :'''Daphne''': Why go through this elaborate scheme? Why not just ask us to find the book? :'''Velma''': I know why. If we knew what that book was, we would never have helped him! :'''Ben''': But even you can't imagine the real power of this book. No mere mortal can. :'''Fred''': You've been reading too many of your own horror stories, Ravencroft. :'''Ben''': A typical mortal response, but I am descended from a superior breed. I shall unlock the power of the imprisoned Sarah Ravencroft! :'''Shaggy''': Like, I don't like the sound of this! :'''Scooby''': Me either! :'''Ben''': Together, we shall reign supreme. Let the evil from the past, breathe again with fiery blast! :'''Velma Dinkley''': No! :'''Ben''': Let the dark wind whip the night to blow away the force of light! :'''Shaggy''': I know what comes next, Buddy. Big trouble! :'''Ben''': Now, I summon ancient power! :'''Velma Dinkley''': Ben, please stop! :'''Ben''': This is evil's finest hour!

Don't you like the new improved Ben Ravencroft? :'''Velma Dinkley''': No, frankly, I don't! :'''Ben''': Well, get used to it. :'''Mayor Corey and Mr. McKnight''': (''Scream'') :'''Ben''': Leaving so soon?

''[Fly buzzing and approaches to Maggie]'' Yeah, they're real, quit staring. I'm sort of between homes right now. I lost my old place... thanks to the meanest bunch of cattle rustlers in the west... ''[scene cuts to night, where Alameda Slim and his gang]'' Alameda Slim and the Willie Brothers' Gang. ''[as Alameda Slim yodels and the cows start mooing and they got captured from Maggie's ranch]'' Somehow, they stole the whole herd... right out from under our noses and then they disappeared without a trace. ''[Abner sees the cows are missing and taken away by Alameda Slim and the Willie Brothers then he sees Maggie from the trance, then he takes Maggie out from his barn to another place]'' After that... poor old Abner couldn't afford to keep the place... or me, either, for that matter Well, no matter how bad things get, there's probably somebody worse off.

''[Phil and Bill pay attention to Alameda Slim and clap]'' Thank you. And judging by the ear mark, I'd say these are the last of Big Mike Donald's herd. :'''Gil''': Big Mike Donald had a farm? :'''Phil and Bill''': E-I-E-I... ''[Alameda Slim bashes them on the heads with his fists]'' Ohh... :'''Alameda Slim''': That's right. He had a farm. ''[He goes to his dressing screen stock and puts on his Yancy O'Del disguise]'' Now that all his cash cows have disappeared, that poor sap's gonna be flat broke. Perfect time for a certain upstanding land owner to step in and take all the land. :'''Phil''': ''[screams]'' Ahhh! Who are you?! :'''Bill''': What did you do with Uncle Slim?! :'''Phil''': Put up your dukes, Mr. Fancy Britches! ''[Alameda Slim grabs his fingers]'' Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah-aah! :'''Alameda Slim''': ''It's me!'' Hello! ''[Alameda Slim takes off the glasses and the blue top hat and holding a cane]'' This here is the disguise I use to sneak into all them auctions and buy all the land, you brainless monotone monkeys. :'''Gil''': Shoot, you got to be the richest land baron in the [[W:American west|the west]]. ''[Phil and Bill clap]'' :'''Alameda Slim''': Yes, but the part that ''really'' warms my heart is watching those homesteaders suffer. ''[He grabs a branding iron and brands Mike Donald's Farm and the Dixon Farm on the map]'' Back in the day, I worked the highfalutinest ranches you ever seen, but those stuck-up ranch bosses couldn't appreciate my talents. :'''Phil''': Maybe they just didn't like your singing. :'''Alameda Slim''': My ''singing''?! ''[Bill covers his brother's mouth]'' Songbirds ''sing''. saloon gals ''sing''. little bitty snot-nosed children ''sing''. I ''yodel'', and yodeling '''''IS AN ART!''''' :'''Bill''': Well, maybe they just didn't like your yodeling. :''[Phil covers his brother's mouth and Alameda Slim tries to hit them with his branding iron, but misses them when they duck]'' :'''Gil''': He didn't mean it, Uncle Slim. Everybody likes yodeling. :'''Alameda Slim''': Hmm? :'''Gil''': Why, it's one of the funniest, cornball, goofy, silly sounds in the whole west. :''[Alameda Slim tries to hit Gil with his branding iron, but misses as Gil ducks, then Alameda Slim sees Patch of Heaven on the map as it's unauctioned as he twitches]'' :'''Alameda Slim''': Uh, Gil? :'''Gil''': Uh-huh? :'''Alameda Slim''': Am I correct in assuming that each and every time we brought a herd back to this secret lair you've managed to ''sit in the exact same spot, BLOCKING THAT CHOICE-PIECE OF PROPERTY FROM MY VIEW?!'' :'''Gil''': This is my comfy place. ''[beat]'' What? ''[Alameda Slim grabs him by the neck; Gil makes unintelligible noises]'' :'''Phil''': It's called Patch of Heaven, Uncle Slim. Goes on auction Thursday morning. :'''Alameda Slim''': ''[his fury quickly replaced by eagerness]'' Perfect. ''[He hits Gil on the head with his branding iron and letting us him go]'' Pencil it in. Thursday mornin'. Right after we sell off this herd. :'''Bill''': But it's just a little old dirt farm. :'''Alameda Slim''': Ah, what's the difference?

We can't give up. :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Maggie, that's enough. The minute this lets up, we're heading straight home to Patch of Heaven. :'''Maggie''': But what about catching Slim and collecting the reward? :'''Mrs. Calloway''': We never had a prayer of catching Slim in the first place. This whole '''''ridiculous plan''''' is just so that you can get revenge on those cattle rustlers! :'''Maggie''': Hey! For your information, duchess, this whole ridiculous plan is about us ''saving our farm''! :'''Mrs. Calloway:''' Huh. Our farm might've had a fighting chance until you came along. :'''Maggie''': What's that supposed to mean?! :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Strutting around with your vulgar show-cow behavior. :'''Maggie''': Look, I was just having... :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Wasting our time on your foolish plans. Through the years, Patch of Heaven has survived every hardship that nature can dish out, but you, Maggie, are the biggest catastrophe to ever hit our farm. :'''Maggie''': ''[furious]'' Well. If that's the way you feel about it, maybe we should just go our separate ways! :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Now, that's the first good idea you've ever had. :'''Maggie''': Fine! :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Fine. :'''Maggie''': '''''FINE!''''' :'''Mrs. Calloway''': Fine. ''[sits down as Grace looks sadly at the 2 of them and Maggie hangs her head]'' :'''Maggie''': Yeah. Fine.

The show was aimed at elementary school children, and middle school children, and from ages 5 to 12. It primarily features a young enthusiastic raccoon named Timothy (voiced by Austin Di Iulio), who attends a fictional [[w:Primary education|primary school]] called "Hilltop School" along with ten other students (each of which are of different animals) or eleven (counting Juanita; who appears in the final two episodes), who are mainly friends of him and each other. The kindergarten class is taught by Mrs. Jenkins, a comforting teacher who enjoys educating and helping her students. ==Season 1== ===Timothy Goes to School / Yoko [1.1]=== :''[First lines of the series. Timothy draws a picture of the sun. Timothy's mom appears. That is, Samantha --the name of his mother.]'' :'''Samantha''': Timothy, you have mail. :'''Timothy''': Really, Mom? For me? :'''Timothy's Dad''': It has your name on it. :'''Timothy''': Wow, what is it? :'''Timothy's Dad''': There's only one way to find out. :'''Timothy''': Hmm... :'''Timothy's Dad''': Open it. :''[Samantha hands the letter to Timothy. Timothy open the letter and it's a card. Timothy looks at the card]'' :'''Timothy''': What does it say? :'''Samantha''': It says: "Guess who's invited to Mrs. Jenkins' kindergarten class at Hilltop School?" :''[Timothy opens the invitation and reveals a mirror]'' :'''Timothy''': Me! I'm invited. Can I go, Mom? :'''Samantha''': Yes, Timothy. It's time to go to school. :'''Timothy''': Right now? :'''Timothy's Dad''': Tomorrow, after one more sleep. Good luck. :'''Timothy''': ''[looks through himself in a small mirror from the card]'' Wow. <hr width=50% /> :''[When Timothy stops running, he won't know anybody on the bus]'' :'''Timothy''': ''[whispering]'' Mom. :'''Samantha''': What's the matter, Timothy? :'''Timothy''': I won't know anybody. :'''Samantha''': Sure you will. ''[off-screen]'' Doris will be on the bus. :'''Timothy''': ''[with an unhappy expression]'' Doris? :'''Samantha''': ''[to her son]'' Have a great day. ''[kisses him]'' Good luck! :''[Timothy waves good-bye to his mother and walks to the bus. He stops and sees the big yellow bus. A bus driver named Henry opens the doors and welcomes Timothy on board]'' :'''Henry''': ''[first lines]'' Hi, Timothy. I'm Henry. ''[off-screen]'' All aboard for Hilltop School. :''[Timothy climbs into Henry's bus and waves hello to Henry]'' :'''Timothy''': Hi, Henry. :''[Timothy suddenly sees everyone in the bus. Claude is wearing some school clothes while everyone stares at Timothy]'' :'''Doris''': ''[first lines; off-screen]'' Hey, Timothy! ''[on-screen]'' Come sit with me!

He now sits next to Doris and looks through the window.

''[on-screen]'' I don't understand. ''[opens the sushi box]'' Mama made all my favorite food. :'''Timothy''': ''[sees Yoko's favourite food which is [[w:sushi|sushi]]]'' The trouble with your favorite food is ''[off-screen]'' that it's no one else's favorite. :'''Yoko''': But nothing beats sushi. ''[holds the sushi with chopsticks]'' There's a tasty treasure inside every piece. :'''Frank #1''': ''[sniffing; groans in disgust]'' It's green. It's seaweed. :'''Frank #2''': ''[sniffing]'' Oh-no, please do not tell me that it's raw fish. :'''Doris''': Watch out, it's moving. :'''Nora''': Yecch-o-rama! :'''Doris''': ''[off-screen]'' Why can't your mother make you something normal? <hr width=50% /> :''[Mrs. Jenkins listens to one unhappy sound in her classroom and becomes concerned about this.

They think I'm weird. :'''Mrs. Jenkins''': What did you bring for lunch? :''[Yoko shows Mrs. Jenkins her sushi.]'' :'''Yoko''': ''[in between tears, by which everyone won't be swayed any more]'' My favorite food. <hr width=50% /> :''[After International Food Day ends]'' :'''Timothy''': How do you like International Food Day, Yoko? :'''Yoko''': ''[sighs]'' I don't. How do you like International Food Day? :'''Timothy''': It's hard to tell, I didn't get to try everything. Not Grace's Nigerian nut soup, Fritz's Italian spaghetti, Doris' Irish stew, Claude's mango smoothies, Nora's potato kannish, Charles' enchiladas, Lilly's quiche, or the Franks' Boston baked beans. :'''Yoko''': And you did not try my deluxe sushi either. No one tried it, not even one piece. ===On The Fritz / The Great Obstacle Course [1.2]=== :'''Fritz''': Mom, my volcano didn't go off. :''[This is Cleo. She is Fritz's mom. This is her first appearance in the TV series.]'' :'''Cleo''': Well, it certainly looks like a volcano went off in here. What about we tidy up before breakfast? :'''Fritz''': Okay, Mom. <hr width=50% /> :'''Timothy''': Do you know about the Mess Fairy, Yoko? :'''Yoko''': I know about the Tooth Fairy. :'''Frank #1 and Frank #2''': Who's the Mess Fairy? :'''Timothy''': I don't know. Ask Fritz. <hr width=50% /> :''[The episode's first half introduces Ms. Appleberry --Mrs. Jenkins's student teacher.]'' :'''Mrs. Jenkins''': Children? Say hello to our new student teacher.

Timothy, wait up! :''[After Fritz leaves the classroom, the camera pans out to reveal the huge mess he has indeed left - included leaving on the sink, causing water to spill out of it and to the floor.]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Timothy''': Do you think I'll win a gold medal, Mom? :'''Samantha''': ''[giggles]'' I think you'll have fun trying. <hr width=50% /> :'''Nora''': I can't wait until the egg and spoon race! It's my favorite! What's your favorite, Claude? :'''Claude''': Winning. :'''Timothy''': ''[shrugs his shoulders]'' Whatever. <hr width=50% /> :'''Timothy''': I hope I win. I've never won a gold medal before. :'''Claude''': May the best man win. :'''Grace''': Uh, you mean the best girl. <hr width=50% /> :''[Doris sees that nobody is left for her to team up with her.

''[tells Doris her answer of who is going to be her buddy]'' Me! :'''Doris''': Okay. <hr width=50% /> :'''Mrs. Jenkins''': ''[about the egg and spoon race part in the obstacle course]'' Children, I'm sorry to announce that the egg and spoon race has been cancelled (for this year's obstacle course on this year's obstacle course day). Because it's due to a misunderstanding. :''[The Franks are eating boiled eggs while babbling]'' :'''Frank #2''': Yeah, very sorry. :''[Nora finds out the said race is cancelled from this year's field day due to a misunderstanding by the Franks. Then she turns to the Franks after they ate her favorite race in the obstacle course. Nora --offscreen-- pushes Charles --her partner-- aside. Then --onscreen-- she approaches the Franks. Then she says...!]'' :'''Nora''': ''[to the Franks]'' <big>'''YOU ATE MY FAVORITE RACE!'''</big> :''[Both Nora and Charles glare at the Franks after they ate Nora's favorite race.]'' :'''Mrs. Jenkins''': ''[to Nora]'' Not to worry, Nora.

Thanks, Timothy. :'''Doris''': I'll have some, Timothy. :'''Timothy''': Would you like some of my jelly sandwich, Claude? There's lots of jumping in the obstacle course. :'''Claude''': No, thank you. We don't need it. <hr width=50% /> :''[as Claude and Grace runs to the finish line, they stop to a giant mud puddle]'' :'''Claude and Grace''': Mud!

I had it on yesterday...! :''[Nora's Dad --Ken-- he adds the part of how Nora wore her favorite red shirt to school the day before yesterday. That is, as he says...!]'' :'''Ken''': And (you wore that shirt) on the day before that. :''[After showing Nora her red shirt --even though he knows why it is her favorite-- he tells Nora why her red shirt that she had it on for three or four days before the said morning is in the laundry basket.]'' :'''Ken''': It is dirty. :''[Nora takes the red shirt out from the basket even though it is dirty. She wore that red shirt three or four days in a row. Now after three or four days, it is dirty]'' :'''Ken''': It is time to change into something new, Nora. :''[Nora does not want to change.

I've lost your place in line. :'''Charles''': ''[also about Grace getting the very last ice cream]'' I know. :''[Sadly, both of them miss out with the ice cream. Grace got the very last ice cream item. Now Lilly and Charles cannot believe that Grace bought the very last one. The ice cream truck was out of product. So as a result, before Lilly or Charles could get to the ice cream, they are forced to miss out on it for one day. Lilly didn't get a nickel for ice cream. And even though Charles told Lilly he'd share his ice cream with Lilly, Grace was the last one to get the last ice cream. Lilly didn't get any ice cream.

That is, not only did she forget her nickel but also, though Charles was supposed to share his ice cream cone with her, Grace had bought the last ice cream cone before Lily or Charles could get to it. Therefore, as she was forced to miss out with the ice cream, she tells her mom about the part when she didn't get ice cream. That is, as she says...!]'' :'''Lilly''': But I didn't get any ice cream. :'''Susan''': That seems like a lot of things to do in one day. :''[Susan remembers that the same afternoon is tomorrow --"ice cream". So she understands about Lily --who wasn't able to get ice cream-- and prepares to give her a nickel for it so she does get ice cream.]'' :'''Susan''': Good remembering. :'''Lilly''': My friend Charles helps me sometimes. <hr width=50% /> :''[On the second "ice cream" day]'' :'''Charles''': Lily, did you forget something? :''[Now that Lilly has ice cream, she was going to give Charles the said ice cream cone after she ate the other one and does not know she has accidentally allowed the second to melt.]'' :'''Lilly''': Nope. Two zoom ice cream cones. One for me and one for...! :''[The ice cream cone --for Charles-- is melted. The good news: Lilly, like the rest of her friends except Charles, got to have ice cream. So she got ice cream this time. But the bad news is Charles did not get any ice cream. That is, even though Lilly got it as she remembered her nickel. The ice cream cone for Charles, it is now melted and inedible. For some reason, Charles ends up missing out with the ice cream cone like Lilly did the day before, even though Lilly got an ice cream cone this time.]'' :'''Charles''': Me...? :'''Lilly''': Oh, Charles...! I am sorry. :''[Lilly notes about her own and Charles' sympathy about their "ice cream" effort. Charles --reacting to this-- shrugs sadly and sighs as he is forced to miss out with the ice cream as a result for some reason. He has the same problem as Lilly did the previous day. Because the one that was for him had melted, even though Lilly was able to get ice cream for some reason. But he knows that there is always a "next time".

You don't want that.

I thought I was naked and clean, and I just took a bubble bath.) :'''Samantha''': (Of course you are naked. Your shirt? Well, I think it was dirty. So you needed a bubble bath.

So, what did the kids teach at school today? :'''Timothy''': Hmm. Fritz taught electricity. Yoko taught Origami. And Grace, she taught some ballet stuff. :'''Samantha''': Really? :'''Timothy''': Yeah. Mom? (I know I'm naked. I was naked because I took off my dirty shirt. Now I was in the bubble bath when you said it was bath time. And I --while I was in my bubble bath-- threw my dirty shirt --which I took off-- in the laundry basket.

The afternoon one --weekdays only-- is Yoko, Nora, or --Mrs. Jenkins's student teacher-- Ms. Appleberry. The weekend afternoons are to be Samantha, as there's no school on weekends. And the night tickle is also by Samantha. Samantha --as a caring mother-- does ease his pain after tickling him. That is, by kissing it better with her lips. In the meantime, while Timothy was in the bath, Samantha was tickling his tummy, waist, and diaper area. Then, she was tickling him while he was drying off. And finally, she does this to him for the remainder of the night.]'' :'''Timothy''': ''[thinks]'' (But even then, if Nora really tickles my tummy, waist, and diaper area --just because I was naked since I was in the bath and told her and Yoko about my naked status and bath the next day-- Yoko --who is a cat-- I sit on her lap like she is a lap kitty. And she --Yoko-- kisses it to make it better. I always have Yoko to ease my pains. That is, even if my mom or Nora tickles my belly and waist for being naked.) :'''Samantha''': ''[thinks --but pauses tickles]'' (And Yoko is your lap kitty? That is so nice that she hugs you on her lap.) :''[Timothy --who further fears this "tickling" bet-- next imagines Yoko scooping him up, putting him on her lap, and hugging his tummy, waist, and diaper area.

True to her saying about Charles, Nora does get the fact that Charles is strong. But he is not that big really. She --Nora-- does believe Charles that he --Charles-- is strong though. In the meantime, Nora looks at Charles's model. Regarding with Charles's model's position, it is not lining up. Indeed, Charles's figure is supposed to be touching the floor. She sees that Charles has moved his figure a few inches higher up as big as the other "bigger" students. Just so he could be big like them. She knows that Charles was just playing a joke on her. She's the only one who does not believe Charles about him being big. Charles had moved his model a few inches higher so he could be that size. Nora --not fooled about Charles's false pretense to be big and finding out it was only a joke-- she also sees his figure in the incorrect spot. Charles has moved his model a few inches higher rather than touching the floor. It indeed was a joke.]'' :'''Nora''': ''[to Charles about his figure project]'' Hey...! :''[She turns to Charles.

When Charles seems reluctant to comply about his model --after Nora tells him it's supposed to touch the ground-- Nora threatens to keep her nose in his. This leads Charles to stick to glue with her until he corrects it. When Charles sees the look on Nora, he does as she asks. It's probably because he does not want to be stuck with Nora forever. Charles does not argue with Nora. However, he sighs sadly. But he --unwillingly-- listens to Nora and goes over to his figure to fix its position. He moves his figure project back down after Nora makes him get it to "touch the ground like everybody else's" when she told him it was supposed to touch the ground. He moves his figure into the correct place.]'' :'''Charles''': Okay. :''[After moving back down his figure, he sadly gives up his false tactics to be big.

That is, even though he did all those things that he was good at all along before this to be "bigger". Since it annoyed Nora, he was forced to give up on it and admit he was smallest. That also means if he says the word "big" again --at least about his size-- it would annoy Nora again. He may still be strong, but he is always going to be small. The smell --smelling like stinky cheese-- still scents Charles's nose after he smelled Nora's nose. That is, shown in the scene earlier where Nora got annoyed when Charles's craft model didn't match like the rest of the class. Nora makes Charles forfeit his status to be big --after making him admit to the rest of the class that he is the smallest and was lying-- and --offscreen-- hatches a plan.

I'm the smallest in my family. :'''Charles''': Really? You're the smallest? :'''Doris''': Uh-huh, I'm even too small to ride the bumper cars at the fair. I have to watch my brothers drive past, and stick their tongues out at me. They call me a shrimp! It made me so mad! :'''Charles''': Hmm, I just don't like being called a shrimp either. If I see your big brothers sticking their tongues out, I'll tell them to stop it. :'''Doris''': Thanks, Charles!

Created as a replacement for a prior Disney character, [[w:Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]], Mickey first appeared in the short ''[[w:Plane Crazy|Plane Crazy]]'', debuting publicly in the short film ''[[w:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]]'' (1928), one of the first sound cartoons. In all, the character has appeared in over 130 films, including ''[[w:The Band Concert|The Band Concert]]'' (1935), ''[[w:Brave Little Tailor|Brave Little Tailor]]'' (1938), and ''[[w:Fantasia (1940 film)|Fantasia]]'' (1940). Mickey appeared primarily in short films, but also occasionally in feature-length films. Ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the [[w:Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film|Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film]], one of which, ''[[w:Lend a Paw|Lend a Paw]]'', won the award in 1942. In 1978, Mickey Mouse became the first cartoon character to have a star on the [[w:Hollywood Walk of Fame|Hollywood Walk of Fame]]. From 1930, the character has featured in comic strips and comic books. The [[w:Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|Mickey Mouse comic strip]], drawn primarily by [[w:Floyd Gottfredson|Floyd Gottfredson]], ran for 45 years. The mouse appeared in comic books such as ''[[w:Mickey Mouse (comic book)|Mickey Mouse]]'', Disney Italy's ''[[w:Topolino|Topolino]]'' and ''[[w:MM Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine|MM – Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine]]'', and ''[[w:Wizards of Mickey|Wizards of Mickey]]''. Mickey also features in television series such as ''[[w:The Mickey Mouse Club|The Mickey Mouse Club]]'' (1955–1996) and others. He appears in other media such as video games, and is a meetable character at the Disney parks. Mickey generally appears alongside his girlfriend [[w:Minnie Mouse|Minnie Mouse]], [[w:Minnie Mouse|her]] cat [[w:Pinocchio (1940 film)|Figaro]], his pet dog [[w:Pluto (Disney)|Pluto]], his friends such as [[w:Donald Duck|Donald Duck]], [[w:Donald Duck|his]] hypnotist girlfriend [[w:Daisy Duck|Daisy Duck]], [[w:Goofy|Goofy]], [[w:The Fox and the Cat|Honest John]], [[w:Bambi (character)|Bambi]], [[w:Thumper (Bambi)|Thumper]], [[w:Flower (Bambi)|Flower]], [[w:List of Disney's Cinderella characters|Gus]], [[w:List of Disney's Cinderella characters|Anastasia Tremaine]], [[w:List of Disney's Cinderella characters|Lucifer]], [[w:Ben and Me|Amos Mouse]], [[w:Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga]], [[w:Roo|Roo]], [[w:The Aristocats|Roquefort]], [[w:The Aristocats|Duchess, Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse]], [[w:The Rescuers|Penny and Rufus]] among others (see [[w:Mickey Mouse universe|Mickey Mouse universe]]). Though originally characterized as a cheeky lovable rogue, Mickey was rebranded over time as a nice guy, usually seen as an honest and bodacious hero. In 2009, Disney began to rebrand the character again by putting less emphasis on his friendly, well-meaning persona and reintroducing the more adventurous and stubborn sides of his personality, beginning with the video game [[w:Epic Mickey|Epic Mickey]]. [[sv:Musse Pigg]] ==Quotes== :<small>'''In chronological order within each section.'''</small> ===1931–1941=== * In the current American mythology, Mickey Mouse is the imp, the benevolent dwarf of older fables, and like them he is far more popular than the important gods, heroes, and ogres. Over a hundred prints of each of his adventures are made, and of the fifteen thousand movie houses wired for sound in America, twelve thousand show his pictures. So far he has been deathless, as the demand for the early Mickey Mouses continues although they are nearly four years old; they are used at children’s matinées, for request programs, and as acceptable fillers in programs of short subjects. It is estimated that over a million separate audiences see him every year. ** [[w:Gilbert Seldes|Gilbert Seldes]] [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1931/12/19/walt-disney-profile-mickey-mouse-maker "Mickey-Mouse Maker: Walt Disney at thirty"], ''The New Yorker'' (December 11, 1931) * The first Mickey Mouse was made by twelve people after hours in a garage. About twelve hundred people are working overtime now in a fifty-one-acre plant. ** [[Walt Disney]] [https://archive.org/stream/american22asch/american22asch_djvu.txt "Growing Pains"], ''Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers'' (January 1941), Vol. XXXVI, pp. 30-40, reprinted in ''American Cinematographer'' (1941), p. 106 (reproduced by the Internet Archive) ===2009=== * How long does copyright extend today? According to the [[w:Sonny Bono|Sonny Bono]] [[w:Copyright Term Extension Act|Copyright Term Extension Act]] of 1998 (also known as "the Mickey Mouse Protection Act," because Mickey was about to fall into the public domain), it lasts as long as the life of the author plus seventy years. In practice, that normally would mean more than a century. * To descend from the high principles of the [[w:Founding Fathers of the United States|Founding Fathers]] to the practices of the cultural industries today is to leave the realm of Enlightenment for the hurly-burly of corporate capitalism. If we turned the sociology of knowledge onto the present—as [[Pierre Bourdieu|[Pierre] Bourdieu]] himself did—we would see that we live in a world designed by Mickey Mouse, red in tooth and claw. ** [[w:Robert Darnton|Robert Darnton]] [https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2009/02/12/google-the-future-of-books/ "Google & the Future of Books"], ''New York Review of Books'' (February 12, 2009) ** The first released Mickey Mouse cartoon, ''[[w:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]]'' (1928), finally entered the [[w:Public domain|public domain]] on January 1, 2024. * Ending Catchphrases: ** ''See you real soon!''

''[to his flock]'' Hey, you know what? ''[the flock stare confused at Wiley]'' Of course you don't. But follow me anyway. Those kids are always eating. I'll bet they got great stuff.

Hanging over his watery home, there was a very special hazelnut. And inside each and every nut on that tree was all the knowledge in the whole world. One day, one of those nuts fell into the loch. And the salmon gobbled it all up, filling him to the gills with everything there is to know about... well... absolutely everything. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[after hearing Piggley's story of the Salmon]'' Wow. A fish who knows everything. Think of the brain on that guy. Think of it. A fish with a giant head. And nut-crackin' teeth, big chompers!

He knows. :'''Dannan:''' I didn't hear anything. :'''Piggley''': One bubble means "yes", and two bubbles means "no". :'''Dannan''': Okay, so what did Ferny have for breakfast today, hmm? :'''Piggley''': Mr. Salmon says he had... ''[deep breath; quickly]'' Six eggs, fried spuds, soda bread with marmalade, fruit, kippers, beans, and mushrooms, and porridge with milk, the top of the bottle. :'''Ferny''': Oh... That's absolutely amazing! It really ''is'' the Salmon of Knowledge! <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': Hey, Ferny. What do you wanna do tomorrow? :'''Ferny''': Well, I usually study on Sunday. But there's no need for that now, right? :'''Piggley''': No, sir. Not while we've got Mr. Smart Fish around. :''[Ferny's stomach starts growling.]'' :'''Ferny''': Janey Mack, I'm really hungry. ''[realizes something; gasps in horror]'' Wait! I didn't ''have'' breakfast this mornin'! :'''Piggley''': ''[unfazed]'' Huh. So? :'''Ferny''': The Salmon of Knowledge was wrong! THE SALMON OF KNOWLEDGE WAS <big>'''''WRONG!!!'''''</big> ''[echoing]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Take your time, and more carefully, you'll have no trouble as long as you've studied. :'''Piggley''': Or as long as you've got a fish with a brain as big as Mammy's icebox. ===Ferny is a Bug [1.3]=== :''[Padrig finds Piggley getting swarmed by bugs.]'' :'''Padrig''': Careful with them fairies, son. :'''Piggley''': "Fairies"?! Why, they're just bugs, dad. :'''Padrig''': They ''could'' be bugs. Or they could be fairies in disguise. Fairies do that, you know. :''[A bug flies on Piggley's hand.]'' :'''Piggley''': ''[disgusted]'' Agh... Nothin' this ugly could be a fairy, dad. :'''Padrig''': Careful. They don't care much now for insults.

''[runs off, passing Elly]'' Bye, mam! :'''Elly''': ''[to Padrig]'' Now, what do you want to tell the boy stories like ''that'' for? :'''Padrig''': ''[laughs]'' Don't worry. Not even Piggley would believe that one! ===The Case of Big Sty [1.4]=== :''[The mystery show ''Piggley Trotter, Private Eye ''is playing on the radio.]'' :'''Piggley Trotter''': This is my town - a good town, with good people, and one bad one. Master criminal Big Sty had given me the slip again, and... I was calling it quits for the day. I headed for home, taking a shortcut through the park. That's when ''she'' walked up. She was prettier than a French poodle. The smile that made the chickens cackle. :'''Mysterious lady''': Mr. Trotter... I need your help. :'''Piggley''': ''[listening to the radio]'' It's a mysterious lady! :'''Padrig''': Shh. :'''Piggley Trotter''': Helping is my specialty, ma'am. :'''Mysterious lady''': I think I'm being followed. :''[Molly gasps.]'' :'''Mysterious lady''': Followed by...

Don't go! :'''Piggley Trotter''': She's not going anywhere with you...

Crummy old wind! :'''Shawn''': Dumb leaves! :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Hey. What's this now? :'''Sean''': Mom wants us to sweep off the driveway. :'''Seamus''': But it's too windy! :'''Sean''': Every time we get the leaves and stuff into a pile, the wind comes along and ''[throws the leaves in the air]'' "boofa-shisha-bwuwuf"! <hr width=50% /> :'''Sean''': I quit! :'''Seamus''': Me too! :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Are my ears deceiving me, or did I hear me own flesh and blood say the word "quit"? :'''Seamus''': Grandpa, when something's ''this'' impossible, you ''have'' to give up! <hr width=50% /> :'''Molly''': What's so great about fishing? :'''Padrig''': Well, now. On Lake Beghorra, ya never know what you might see. Like the time not too long ago when I was out fishin'. I wasn't catchin' so much as a cold. Then all of a sudden, I hooked the strangest thing. A '''hat!''' A red '''hat!''' :''[Piggley and Ferny gasp.]'' :'''Padrig''': It wasn't too long before a fella came swimmin' by, lookin' for the hat. :''[Dannan, Molly, and Sweets gasp.]'' :'''Padrig''': I gave it back to him, and... he thanked me kindly. Then he disappeared beneath the water. :'''Ferny''': ''[gasps]'' Janey Mack! :'''Piggley''': Then what happened, dad? :'''Padrig''': Well, now... The next thing I knew, like a streak of light, me boat was jettin' across the lake, sure I couldn't see what was pullin' me, then suddenly, I came to a stop. I was at a part of the lake I'd never seen before. Lookin' around, I thought I saw that fella with the red hat swimmin' away. Then, a fish tail as big as your side slapped the water! And he was gone. :'''Piggley''': Jakers! A... A [[w:merman|merman]]! :'''Ferny''': Oh... A fishy fello. :'''Padrig''': Well, I can't say for sure, lads. All I know is that very place where me boat stopped... turned out to be the best fishin' spot of all time. <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': It's a long time sittin' in a boat, you know. Nowhere to go, nothin' to do. :'''Piggley''': We don't mind. ''[has Ferny's voice]'' We love sittin'. With... nothin' to do. :'''Padrig''': It's a lot of responsibility, you know. :'''Dannan''': We love responsibility. :'''Padrig''': I'll be leavin' at the crack of dawn. :'''Piggley''': We loooooove, looove gettin' up early! We'll all spend the night here, so we can leave first thing in the morning. :'''Ferny''': Oh! That's a good idea! :'''Dannan''': Oh, that's a great idea! :'''Padrig''': Now hold on a minute! I didn't say I'd take you! :''[The kids start begging simultaneously.]'' :'''Piggley''': Pleeeaaaase?! :'''Dannan''': Oh, pleeeeaaaase?! :'''Ferny''': Pleeeaaase! :'''Padrig''': We'll see how things go in the morning. :''[The kids cheer.]'' <hr width=50% /> :''[Wiley is bothered by his flock's loud snoring keeping him awake.]'' :'''Wiley''': Listen to that! It's like living in a buzz-saw factory! What I need is a glass of warm milk. Now that should put me out like a fuzzy light. :''[Wiley places a cup under the cow's udders, and waits for it to produce milk, but nothing happens.]'' :'''Wiley''': Okay. Go. ''[getting impatient]'' Any time now. I'm waiting. ''[notices the cow's tail]'' Aha! She's got a handle! Like a pump! She's a pump cow! :''[Wiley starts pulling the cow's tail up and down like a pump, but this causes the cow to angrily kick Wiley across the barn and into a large haystack.]'' :'''Wiley''': ''[from within]'' Got milk? No. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Ever smell a barn? They're not minty fresh. <hr width=50% /> :''[Ferny has reeled in Wiley's blanket, and Wiley is attempting to pull it back.]'' :'''Wiley''': Mother Nature is stealing my blanket! And she's very strong. <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': What's all this ruckus now?! <hr width=50% /> :''[Wiley wakes up with a start after being knocked unconscious against the wall from his tug-of-war with the kids over his blanket.]'' :'''Wiley''': ''[frightened]'' BAAAAAA! What--? Where--? Who--? Wow. What a dream I had. So vivid, so real, so... painful! Sleep is tough. Not sleeping is even tougher. What am I gonna do? Maybe I should sleep on it. <hr width=50% /> :''[Padrig catches the kids having a pillow fight.]'' :'''Piggley''': Oh... Uh, hi, dad. Um... I can explain. You see-- :'''Padrig''': Explain to me how you think you can sit still on a boat, when you can't even stay in bed. :'''Piggley''': But we were getting our-- :'''Padrig''': BED. :'''Piggley''': Yes, dad. ''[returns to bed with Ferny and Dannan]'' :'''Padrig''': And I don't want to have to come back here again. ''[leaves]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': ''[angry]'' Janey Mack, Piggley, why did you start a pillow fight?! :'''Piggley''': I didn't start it! :'''Ferny''': Did so! :'''Piggley''': Did not! :'''Ferny''': Did so! :'''Piggley''': Did not! :'''Ferny''': Did so! :'''Piggley''': Did not! :'''Ferny''': Did so! :'''Dannan''': ''[covers the boys' mouths with her hands]'' '''STOOOOOOOP!!!''' :''[Padrig hears the yelling.]'' :'''Padrig''': ''[angry]'' <big>'''''PIGGLEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!'''''</big> :'''Piggley''': ''[turns off the lamp]'' We're asleep! <hr width=50% /> :''[Molly wakes up and finds Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan making jam sandwiches.]'' :'''Molly''': What are you all doin'? :'''Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan''': Shhh! :'''Piggley''': We're makin' a picnic lunch for dad! :'''Molly''': Why are you doin' that? :''[Dannan, then Piggley, then Ferny take turns shushing Molly.]'' :'''Ferny''': Ugh... It's for the fishing trip tomorrow! :'''Molly''': Oh... :'''Dannan''': I'll take Molly back to bed. You boys go ahead and make the sandwiches. :'''Molly''': Will you make one for me too, Piggley? Pleeeaaase? :'''Piggley''': Okay, okay. Just be quiet! :'''Molly''': Sweets, too? '''''Pleeeease!''''' :'''Piggley''': Ugh, fine... :''[Dannan takes Molly back to bed.]'' :'''Piggley''': ''[to Ferny]'' Jakers... <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan think that they're not going fishing with Padrig due to their mischief tonight.]'' :'''Dannan''': Oh, well. We can always play "pirates" tomorrow, instead. :'''Ferny''': Pirates will be fun. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan are outside catching grasshoppers as fishing bait for Padrig.]'' :'''Padrig''': ''[from inside]'' I wouldn't be hearin' children outside, would I?! :'''Piggley''': ''[heads back in with Ferny and Dannan]'' We're all asleep, dad! <hr width=50% /> :''[The next morning...]'' :'''Piggley''': Dad! Wait for us! :'''Padrig''': After playin' around all night, you think you deserve to go with me? :'''Piggley''': But, dad! We weren't playin'! :'''Padrig''': I'm sorry. :'''Piggley''': But the merman! :'''Padrig''': Maybe another time, Piggley. :''[Just then, he notices the jar of grasshoppers that Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan caught last night.]'' :'''Padrig''': What's all this now? :''[Padrig picks up the jar and examines it.]'' :'''Padrig''': So, is this what you rascals were up to last night? You know, you should all be out pickin' spuds today for keepin' everyone up all night. But I suppose your hearts were in the right place. So, are ya gonna stand there all mornin'... or are we going fishing? :''[The kids cheer.]'' ===Picture Perfect [1.6]=== :''[After Piggley takes a picture of Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': Wowee-wow-wow-wow! I've been photographed, captured on film, recorded for posterity! Just picture it: my face, appearing everywhere - newspapers, magazines, the post office! Hold it. Strike that post office. I don't wanna be ''that'' wanted. I could be big! I could be famous! I could be big and famous! I could go to the big city, meet up with destiny, get a decent cheeseburger. I gotta get that kid to take another picture of me. Maybe a nice 8 by 10 glossy, a couple of candids, some good commercial shots, maybe a full-figured cheesecake matte finish. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': There he is. My shot at the big time. I could be on Broadway, in the movies, on the radio. No. No, not the radio. They can't see me on the radio, not even if they sit real close. ===Teacher Creature [1.7]=== :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Class, over the next few weeks, I will be visiting each of your families for supper. The first family I will be visiting is... '''''Piggley's'''''. :''[Everyone, including Piggley, is shocked.]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': Are you tellin' me that Mr. Hornsby is going to be comin' right into me very own home? :'''Dannan''': It's unnatural, I tell ya! It shouldn't be allowed! Why, I've never heard of such a thing in all me life! :'''Ferny''': Oh. Well, I thought you really like Mr. Hornsby, Dannan. :'''Dannan''': I do... in the classroom. That's where he belongs, and that's just where he'd ought to stay! <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley imagines how Mr. Hornsby's visit to his family will go.]'' :'''Padrig''': Well, Hornsby... :'''Mr. Hornsby''': That's '''Mr.''' Hornsby! :'''Elly''': ''[clears her throat]'' Would you like some-- :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Please raise your hand before speakin'. :''[Piggley nervously slides underneath the table.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Ohhhh, sit up, young man! :''[Piggley sits up straight. This causes Molly to laugh.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Who is laughin'?! :''[Piggley points to Molly, who immediately sits up straight.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby''': ''[tuts disappointed]'' Oh... ''[starts grading the family one by one]'' "F", "F", "F"... '''"F".''' :''[Molly pats her chest, then burps. The family gasps in horror. Mr. Hornsby is furious.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby''': ''[dramatically clearing his throat]'' '''''Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-em?!''''' That is one more big... fat... '''"F".''' <hr width=50% /> :''[Wiley and the flock are in the barn, itching all over.]'' :'''Wiley''': Hopping hairballs! What ''is'' this?! We're infested! Inhabited! Lemme put it this way, flock. We got bugs! I know what you're thinkin'. Where do they come from? Why are they here? Should we charge rent? :''[The flock tries to pick the bugs off of each other.]'' :'''Wiley''': No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no! Not like that! That's how monkeys do it! We got no thumbs. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley imagines Mr. Hornsby overworking him and Ferny.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby''': Alright, now. Two plus two! Four plus four! The square root of 9! Name the seven wonders of the world. What was William Shakespeare's middle name? You'd better pick up the pace, boys. You remember what happened to your little friend Dannan. :''[Dannan is sitting on a stool peeling potatoes while wearing a dunce cap.]'' <hr width=50% /> :''[Wiley and the flock are still itching.]'' :'''Wiley''': What can we learn from our friends, the warthogs? :''[One of the sheep, Carl, excitedly raises his hand and bleats.]'' :'''Wiley''': Let's pretend Carl is a warthog. ''[Carl is offended]'' A big, fuzzy, wooly warthog. Eh... A ''good-looking'' warthog. Hey, handsome! But he's crawling with bugs! However, being a smart - oddly alluring - warthog, Carl knows exactly what to do. Stop, drop, and roll! :''[Wiley sends Carl rolling across the field.]'' :'''Wiley''': And like the clever warthog, Carl knows to clean his wool by covering himself in earthen filth. :''[Carl rolls over Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': ''[annoyed]'' Unfortunately, being Carl... ''[Carl runs him over again]'' '''''He doesn't know when to stop!''''' ''[Carl runs him over once more]'' That is one clean sheep. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan try to get an apple for Mr. Hornsby by pulling a tree branch down to them with ropes. After struggling, the apple is now dangling within Dannan's reach.]'' :'''Dannan''': Oh. There it is! I'll get it! :'''Grandpa Piggley''': ''[narrating]'' Dannan reached out to pluck the little beauty, and... :''[As soon as Dannan plucks the apple off the tree, Piggley and Ferny are launched through the air, screaming as they fly out of the orchard, then out of Ireland, then into space.]'' :'''Grandpa Piggley''': ''[narrating]'' We flew into the air, and shot right through the stratosphere. Clear out into space we flew! All the way to the surface of the moon! Where we were met by a couple of crazy-looking moon men! :'''Sean, Seamus, and Meg''': Grandpa! :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Uh, what's the problem, children? :'''Meg''': ''[in disbelief]'' You flew all the way to space and landed on the moon. :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Well... Maybe we didn't actually fly into space. <hr width=50% /> :'''Mr. Hornsby''': There once was a student who got in ''big'' trouble for something he didn't even do. :'''Piggley''': What didn't he do? :'''Mr. Hornsby''': His homework. ===Molly's Dolly [1.8]=== :''[After seeing Wiley run past with Molly's leprechaun doll on his back.]'' :'''Piggley''': If he is a leprechaun, he's probably headed for his pot of gold! Come on! :'''Elly''': ''[calling from inside]'' Piggley! It's time for supper! :'''Piggley''': Aaaahhh, no! It's always suppertime at the wrong time! <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': ''[reading from Elly's book about leprechauns]'' "Leprechauns are excellent shoemakers, but they only make one shoe, never a pair." Hmm. "When he's finished with his work, the leprechaun always makes a delicious feast. He can sometimes be seen riding a dog or a sheep. All leprechauns--" :''[Piggley remembers seeing Molly's doll riding on Wiley.]'' :'''Piggley''': ''[gasps]'' <big>'''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!'''''</big> He rides a sheep?! Jakers! That doll ''is'' a real leprechaun! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Good morning, flock. Yesterday's run was a stunning success. You should've been there. And of course, you weren't. And I know why. Motivation. You need a ''reason'' to run. And what could that reason be? Simple. A prize. :''[Wiley's flock bleats excitedly.]'' :'''Wiley''': That's right. First sheep to finish the annual Wiley Cross-Country Sheep Race wins... a prize. :''[Wiley's flock bleats with excitement again, then starts racing, running over Wiley in the process.]'' :'''Wiley''': Now ''that's''... motivation. Motivation... and pain. <hr width=50% /> :''[After the sheep have finished their race...]'' :'''Wiley''': What a race, what a race! The wind in our wool, the sound of thundering hooves, a chicken on my back... Okay, the chicken was a little weird, but the rest was great! :''[The flock murmurs in confusion.]'' :'''Wiley''': Uh, oh yeah, yeah, the winner of the race, right, right. Uh... ''[clears throat]'' It is with great sheeply pleasure that I declare the winner is none other than Fluffy! :''[The flock bleats excitedly.]'' :'''Wiley''': And his prize is... a deep sense of pride in knowing he's done his very best. Congratulations, Fluffy! :''[The flock all bleat in confusion, then all approach Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': Uh, I'm sensing a modicum of disappointment here. Look. I'm a farm animal. What'd you expect, a burger and fries? Oh, I see. Uh, great, great, you want another race. A rematch. Okay, perfect. Work those legs and breathe that air. You're too close! You're too close! ===Song of the Banshee [1.9]=== :'''Wiley''': Welcome, folk. I suppose you're all wondering why I called you here today. ''[the flock doesn't respond]'' Okay. Let's ''pretend'' you're all wondering why I called you here today. Glad you asked. I think it was [[w:Aristotle|Aristotle]] who said, "How about a song? Gimme a song." And he... He was a smart guy. ''[still no response]'' Look. We're sheep. But that doesn't mean we can't develop a little culture. We gotta sing! We gotta dance! We gotta ha-cha-cha-chaddy-cha! ''[still no response]'' Well, okay. Alright, we'll start with the singing, and end with the "ha-cha-cha-chaddy-cha". Let's go, sheep! ''[starts singing]'' My wiiiild I-I-I-Irish rooooose... The sweetest flower that-- ''[stops singing when he notices that the flock isn't singing along]'' I'm singing to an oil painting here. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan are pretending to be pirates in the barn.]'' :'''Piggley''': For crimes against the Jolly Roger, including tryin' to steal the treasure chest, I, Captain Piggley, sentence you, Dastardly Dannan, to walk the plank. Any last words before we throw you to the sharks?! :''[The sharks are just the chickens.]'' :'''Dannan''': I have been unjustly accused as a traitor! The ghost of Dastardly Dannan will return for revenge! :''[Dannan jumps off the plank and lands on the floor, amongst the chickens. Piggley and Ferny look down.]'' :'''Ferny''': ''[victoriously]'' Aaarrrr! :''[Suddenly, the kids all hear an eerie wail.]'' :'''Dannan''': What's that?! :'''Ferny''': W-Where's it comin' from? :'''Piggley''': Maybe... It's the ghost of Dastardly Dannan! :'''Dannan''': It couldn't be! I'm right here! Maybe the chickens have a stomachache! :'''Piggley''': Or maybe... it's a banshee! :'''Ferny''': ''[scared]'' '''''A BANSHEE!!!''''' :'''Dannan''': ''[scared]'' A banshee...?! :'''Piggley''': Terrible, ghost-like banshee that dresses all in black, and wears a great, huge hood over its head, you know. ''[approaches Dannan]'' It floats into your room, moving right through the walls, and soars right up to you! Then, it starts to sing a song of doom. '''Doom...! Doooooom!''' :''[The eerie wailing returns. The kids all scream in terror and flee the barn.]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Don Toro''': Ah, it's too bad, little Dannan. It seems that you believe more in banshees than you believe in your friends. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[getting his flock's attention]'' Hey! There's [[w:Lassie|Lassie]]! Thank you. Remember last night, when we were trying to... sing? Well... it stunk. But tonight, we're gonna make it different. We're gonna shoot for the stars. Tonight, we're gonna go for mediocre! Okay, we're gonna use the buddy system, we're gonna divide up into groups. Now, I want high voices over here, low voices over there... ''[the flock starts moving around]'' Large voices here... Wait. Short voices... Hold it. ''[groans]'' STOP, STOP!!! :''[The flock crashes and pile up on each other.]'' :'''Wiley''': Okay, new plan. We're all going to stand in one place. That's perfect. <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': Are you alright? :'''Piggley''': You scared the living daylights out of me! :'''Ferny''': It's okay, Dannan. I just scared Piggley a bit. :'''Piggley''': I wasn't scared. :'''Ferny''': You said you were. You said I scared the living daylights out of you. :'''Dannan''': Well, I'm really scared right now! :'''Piggley''': No, you're not. You're not afraid of anything, Dannan. :'''Dannan''': Uh... except... BANSHEES!!! I really hate banshees! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Whoa, hold it, stop, please, before we make anything with ears angry! Okay, let's face it, we can't sing. We're baa-aa-aad singers. Which is strange, since you guys are Irish. But... I'll bet you can dance. And a-one... And a-two... ''[starts dancing]'' Watch me, flock! I'm a dancer! I'm a dancing fool! I'm a... ''[stops dancing]'' I'm an idiot. I'm dancing all by myself here. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ...bloom from my wild Irish... roooooose...! Okay, one more time! My wild... Irish rooo-'''''ooooooooose!''''' <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Just sheep, just sheep? We are not just sheep! I am a star, and this is my audience! :''[The flock claps for Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. You've been a great flock. I'll be here every Thursday through Saturday, two shows on Friday. And now, we dance! ===Our Dragon's Egg [1.10]=== :''[The children are singing as they pretend to be dragon-hunting knights.]'' :'''Piggley''': We brave knights be huntin' for dragons. :'''Dannan''': With fiery breath and spiny backs. :'''Ferny''': We'll trounce them all and fix their wagons... :'''All''': Or... they will have us all for snacks! ''[echoing]'' <hr width=50% /> :''[Leaving Dannan in charge of the egg.]'' :'''Ferny''': Uh, Piggley, do you think the baby dragon might ''really'' eat Dannan? :'''Piggley''': No. They only eat princesses. :'''Ferny''': Oh. ''[Molly peeks over the gate]'' Piggley, where are we gonna find a princess? :'''Molly''': I'm a princess. Someday, I'll be the queen. :'''Ferny''': ''[bluntly]'' You're a goner. <hr width=50% /> :''[Thinking Dannan was eaten by the "dragon".]'' :'''Ferny''': ''[singing sadly]'' Poor old Dannan is no more... The dragon gave a mighty roar... He swallowed Dannan whole today... Our friend Dannan's gone... away... <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[talking to another sheep]'' I tell you, I gave that egg the best minute of my life. ''[after a beat, he starts crying]'' Oh, where's my little honker? Where's my little oval? ''[blows his nose in the other sheep's wool]'' Where are you now, Eggy? <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': What's all the commotion, then? :'''Elly''': Piggley has let a turkey loose in the kitchen. :'''Piggley''': It's not a turkey! I'd never bring a turkey into the house! <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': You're right, Piggley. It's not a turkey. :'''Elly''': Well, then, what is it? :'''Piggley''': It's a dragon! :'''Padrig''': It's a cygnet. A cygnet is a baby swan. :'''Piggley''': A baby swan?! ===The Cat Came Back... and Back [1.11]=== :'''Hector''': Hey, Piggley Dink. I'll swap you some of that licorice... for nothin'! ===Good Neighbor [1.12]=== :'''Scary Monster Theater Announcer''': Ladies and gentlemen, don't be fooled. That ordinary barn across the way may not be so ordinary after all. It could just be the secret laboratory of... a mad scientist! <hr width=50% /> :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Now going to bed late and getting a good night's sleep after a mad scientist episode was always a bit of a challenge. And even though we knew it was all just pretend, it could sometimes cause our imaginations to get the better of us. <hr width=50% /> :'''Grandpa Piggley''': The imagination is a wonderful, fascinating, terrifying thing, so it is. It can make mountains out of mountains, and monsters out of... just about anything. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': ''[pretending to be a monster]'' Ferny, come out! I want your brain! Must... have... brain! ''[roars]'' Give me... BRAIN!!! ''[roars]'' :'''Don Toro''': I'm so sorry, monster, but I'm afraid I can't let you have Fernando's brain. You see, he uses it himself sometimes. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': The last time I got clipped, I got clipped. The guy had no sense of style. I'm a good-lookin' sheep, you know. I got an image to maintain. How would I look with a crewcut? Maybe a flattop. Give me that dangerous sheep look. "Hey, kids, leave that sheep alone. He's got a dangerous haircut." Yeah... I don't know. Maybe a ducktail. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[reading a feed bag]'' Wheat germ, flax seed, hay... ''[annoyed]'' Oats. That's the trouble with these feed bags. They all end the same. Oats. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': What's in the bag? :'''Piggley''': I don't think it's potatoes. <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': I wonder what else was in that sack he was draggin' in there. :'''Dannan''': I'll bet there were some brains in it. :'''Ferny''': Oh, you think so? :'''Piggley''': Don't be daft. You don't put brains in a sack. :'''Dannan''': And why not? :'''Piggley''': They'd leak all over the place. You put brains in jars. Besides, Fergal doesn't have any brains yet. That's why he's making friends with Molly. So he can take ''hers.'' :'''Ferny''': Janey Mack. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': I can't believe he wants ''Molly's'' brain! I mean, why couldn't he just take the brain of one of his other mad scientist friends?! :'''Ferny''': Well, I don't think there are any other mad scientists around here to be friends with. :'''Piggley''': Jakers! That's why he's making a monster! :'''Dannan''': What? :'''Piggley''': Fergal O'Hopper is building a monster to be his friend! :'''Dannan''': A friend with the brain of your sister, Piggley! :'''Ferny''': Well, why wouldn't he just make friends with your sister?! :'''Piggley''': A mad scientist doesn't stop to think of those things. That's why they're mad, Ferny! And I won't have it, I tell you! I'm going over there right now to save Molly! ===Rock Around the Cluck [1.13]=== :'''Wiley''': ''[hearing Molly's violin playing]'' Wowie, wow-wow-wow. What is ''that?'' Whatever it is, it's BAA-AA-AAD. It sounds like it's in pain. It must be starving or something. A starving creature is not a good thing for us sheep. We're very tasty, you know. ''[runs to the flock]'' Okay, flock, don't panic. Run for your lives! :''[The frightened flock stampede, running over Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': They can't catch you if you zig-zag! ''[runs after the flock in a zig-zag pattern]'' Zig-zag, zig-zag, zig-zag! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[hears Molly's violin again]'' You hear that? It's that sheep-eating thing again. So what are we gonna do? I'll tell you what we're gonna do, I'm glad you asked. We're gonna prepare. We're gonna learn what to do in case that thing stops screaming, and starts looking for a woolly midnight snack. First, we gotta figure out what that thing is. Let's say, it's a lion. :''[A sheep bleats with question.]'' :'''Wiley''': Okay, Shirley wants to know what a lion is. Who can answer that? ''[the sheep just look around]'' It seems like nobody, except me. And take it from me, you don't wanna know. So imagine instead a giant sheep-eating squirrel. ''[acts ferocious]'' Baaaaa! Baaaaa! Now, pretend I'm that squirrel. What do we do? :''[A giant walnut falls next to Wiley.]'' :'''Wiley''': Haha. You know, if I was that squirrel, and I was looking for nuts... you guys would be in big trouble. <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': Who's Cluck Cockwren?! <hr width=50% /> :'''Grandpa Piggley''': ''[describing his stage fright]'' And my confidence disappeared faster than a magician's rabbit. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': Jakers. The place is packed. Everyone in the whole town is here. :'''Dannan''': Of course they are. You told them to come, didn't you? :'''Piggley''': I know, but... :'''Ferny''': But? But? But what? :'''Piggley''': Well, uh... What if we're not as good as Cluck Cockwren? What if we're not any good at all? :'''Ferny''': Oh... But you said we were, Piggley. You told everyone. :'''Dannan''': Oh... You better not have been messing with us, Piggley. It'd be awfully embarrassing if we were bad after all the fuss you made. :'''Piggley''': Well, now... I ''think'' we're good. But you know... I'm not sure we're as good as Cluck. :'''Dannan''': Oh, dear... :'''Ferny''': Oh, Janey Mack... ===Donkeys Into Racehorses [1.14]=== :'''Wiley''': Would you look at that? We get grass, and the donkey gets fruit! ''[see a chicken eating a worm]'' And look at that! The chicken gets spaghetti! From the earth! Earth spaghetti! Who knew? ''[looks at another worm sticking out from the ground]'' Would you look at that? I can't eat this. What if I eat him and his friends come looking for him? Worse, what if they ''find'' him? Crawl free, buddy. ''[the worm slithers away]'' You know, someday, I may be in trouble, and that little squirmy guy might save my life. ''[the sheep look unamused]'' ...Yeah, I don't buy it either. <hr width=50% /> :'''Grandpa Piggley''': I tell you, I'd never seen anything like it. All that oats made that old donkey run faster than any racehorse I'd ever seen before, or ever seen since. Like the lightning, he was! In fact, faster than lightning! :'''Sean and Seamus''': Grandpa! :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Okay. Maybe not as fast as all of that. ===Fir Not [1.15]=== :'''Grandpa Piggley''': We've been visited by a [[w:far darrig|fir darrig]]. :'''Sean''': Far jarry? :'''Seamus''': Far jagger? :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Fir. Darrig. Are you lads ever going to learn to speak the language? <hr width=50% /> :''[Describing the fir darrig.]'' :'''Piggley''': He's about the size of a leprechaun. With a tail. :'''Dannan''': And he has whiskers. :'''Piggley''': And... huge flappy ears. :'''Dannan''': And little beady eyes. ''[points to Wiley]'' Like him! :'''Wiley''': Me? :'''Dannan''': And a snout like you wouldn't believe. :'''Piggley''': And broad shoulders! :'''Dannan''': And teeny-tiny little feet. :'''Wiley''': Delicate. Not tiny. Delicate. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Let's face it, Wiley. You got it. And what is "it"? I don't know. That's why it's called "it", instead of... Debbie. <hr width=50% /> :''[The sheep are chasing after the pie on the fishing line like in a football game.]'' :'''Wiley''': Nice recovery by Darla! They don't call her the Wooly Wonder for nothing. :''[The aforementioned sheep crashes.]'' :'''Wiley''': ...Come to think of it, they don't call her the Wooly Wonder. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': What a game! What excitement! It's a kaleidoscope of competition! The thrill of victory, the agony of-- :''[The sheep running with the pie gets its wool pulled off by another. The sheep stops in embarrassment, before the pie is snatched away.]'' :'''Wiley''': ...a bald sheep with no pie! <hr width=50% /> :''[Wiley gets the pie snatched away from him on the fishing line by Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan.]'' :'''Wiley''': Now ''that's'' fast food. <hr width=50% /> :''[The pie has smashed a window on Piggley's house.]'' :'''Dannan''': Oh, now you've done it! :'''Piggley''': Me?! :'''Dannan''': You shouldn't have pulled so hard! :'''Piggley''': It was Ferny who put his weight into it! :'''Ferny''': Oh, but Dannan threw it off balance! :'''Dannan''': Oh no, I did not! :'''Ferny''': You did so! :'''Dannan''': Did not! :'''Piggley''': Did so! :'''Ferny''': You were the one in front! :'''Piggley''': I was barely touching it! :'''Dannan''': You were stepping on my toes! <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': You know, we didn't actually ''see'' the window break, did we? :'''Dannan''': Trust me, Piggley. That's a ''BROKEN'' window. <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': If these fine, honest children say that this was done by a fir darrig, then that must have been the case. Why, they would never make up such a story. Everyone knows a fir darrig is a rascal to start with. And if you were to blame him for something he didn't do, well... he could be mean! Even downright spiteful! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': I'm gifted enough to perform any kind of story. Mystery? Haha! What's that? I don't know! Romance. Dare I tell you of my love? Dare I let the honeyed words drop slowly from my lips? I dare! Westerns! Howdy, partners. Howdy, ma'am. Reckon I'll head down the trail a piece. Some dude with a rig on his hip is a-takin' to make a heap of trouble, I reckon. <hr width=50% /> :''[Padrig is pretending to scold Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan.]'' :'''Padrig''': Now, see here, you ruffians! How dare you break a window, then blame a poor innocent fir darrig for your own mischief! For shame! Shame, I say! ''[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan beg]'' A lifetime of peelin' potatoes is too good for the likes of you! :'''Piggley''': Keep it up, Dad. ''[he, Ferny, and Dannan go back to begging]'' :'''Padrig''': It's cleaning the barn for you, top to bottom, spic and span! And none of ya will see the light of day until the barn is as clean as a whistle! :'''Ferny''': Please, sir! Anything but that! :'''Padrig''': It's no use begging for mercy! Me mind's made up! <hr width=50% /> :''[Cleaning the barn.]'' :'''Ferny''': Oh, this is a powerful big job. :'''Dannan''': Well, it's a powerful big apology we've got to be giving to the fir darrig. :'''Ferny''': You know, come to think of it, I never ''did'' see that fir darrig. :'''Dannan''': You're right! We never did! Why, how do we know that there ever ''was'' one, and if he was ever truly mad at us? :'''Ferny''': Oh, Janey Mack! And we gave ourselves all this extra work! :'''Piggley''': Maybe you're right, lads. But then again... maybe not. ===The Legend of Raloo [1.16]=== :'''Mr. Hornsby''': And Cú Chulainn said to himself, "I am all alone against all those who will follow Queen Maeve. I cannot defeat them, but I must not let them win." <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': I don't want to be a prisoner. Besides, in the story, Queen Maeve was the enemy of Cú Chulainn. You should be taking her prisoner, not me. :'''Dannan''': ''[laughs]'' This is our legend, prisoner! And in our story, all the Irish are on the same side. :'''Piggley''': You see, Ferny. It's like when martians invade in movies. You're the invader, and we're protecting Ireland. :'''Ferny''': ''[sadly]'' Oh. :'''Dannan''': And now, ''baddie,'' you're our prisoner! :'''Ferny''': Not anymore, I'm not! ''[throws down his bucket helmet and runs away]'' Now I'm an escaped prisoner! :'''Piggley''': ''[laughs]'' That's good, Ferny! :'''Dannan''': We can't let the prisoner escape, Cú Chulainn! :'''Piggley''': Go on, Ferny! You're gonna have to run faster than that so we can chase ya! :'''Dannan''': And capture you again! :'''Ferny''': I don't want to run faster, and I don't want to be captured again, and I don't want to play anymore! <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': What fun is it being the enemy all day, just 'cause I'm Spanish? Maybe I'd run all the way back to Spain. That'd show 'em. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[hearing the night sounds]'' I haven't heard this much noise since Bernie sat on a hedgehog! :''[NOTE: The captions mistakenly use Ferny's name instead of Bernie.]'' ===Sheep on the Loose [1.17]=== :'''Piggley''': I just don't understand this sheep at all. I've pushed him, I've pulled him, I've whistled at him, I've even yelled at him, and he still won't do what I want him to do, AND I'M THE SHEPHERD! ===Milk Melodrama [1.18]=== :'''Wiley''': Okay, the colorful sheep improvement project has not been going that well. In fact, I wouldn't be out of line to say, it stinks. Painting Fluffy made his wool all stiff and weird, so we had to shave Fluffy, who, until his wool grows back, will now be known as Skinny. ===No Girls Allowed [1.19]=== :'''Wiley''': I can't stand it anymore! "Baa, baa"! That's all you ever say! :'''Gray sheep''': What do you expect? They're sheep. :'''Wiley''': Yeah, that's true, but-- Hey, whoa, you talked! You opened your mouth and real words came out! :'''Gray sheep''': Boy, nothing gets by you, does it? :'''Wiley''': Finally, someone to talk to! This is great! We can discuss poetry, and music, macramé! We can have an intelle-cellec-cellec-ellectual exchange! :'''Gray sheep''': Do you mind? You're-- You're standing on my lunch. :'''Wiley''': Oh, I'm sorry. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': So, you're in the spooky storytellers club without me, are you? And I can't be in the club because I'm a girl, am I? And girls are scared of ghosts and things, are they?! '''''YOU BOTH KNOW QUITE WELL THAT I'M NOT AFRAID OF GHOSTS, OR MONSTERS, OR SPOOKY STORIES!!!''''' :'''Ferny''': Uh, Piggley? I think she's mad. :'''Piggley''': Uh, Dannan... We know you're not scared of those things, and you're great at telling spooky stories, but Hector says-- :'''Dannan''': HECTOR?! ...Well now, if Hector says it, it must be true. Scary stories told by brave boys like yourself just might be too much for a delicate thing like me. :'''Ferny''': Really? :'''Piggley''': Oh. You're not mad, then? :'''Dannan''': Mad? Ha! Don't be silly. You boys go on ahead to your little storytelling club. Have a scary good time! I insist! Hee-hee! ''[steps out the barn]'' It's going to be a lot scarier than you think it'll be! <hr width=50% /> :'''Gray sheep''': So, what do you do for fun around here? :'''Wiley''': We graze. Then we walk. Sometimes we mosey. Then we graze again. Walk, graze, walk, graze, walk-- :'''Gray sheep''': Okay, okay, got it. ''[watches the flock]'' Not exactly overachievers, are they? :'''Wiley''': ''[offended]'' Hey, this is my flock you're talking about. They may not be the smartest. :''[A sheep stands under an overturned bucket wedged between a fence and a wall, as water drips on its head.]'' :'''Wiley''': Or the ''second'' smartest. :''[A sheep knits a sock with its own wool.]'' :'''Wiley''': ''[embarrassed]'' Or the third. :''[A sheep blows on another sheep's propeller beanie.]'' :'''Gray sheep''': ''[sighs with annoyance]'' Is this gonna go on long? :'''Wiley''': Usually an hour and a half. :'''Gray sheep''': I think it's time for some changes around here. <hr width=50% /> :'''Gray sheep''': ''[being pampered by three lady sheep]'' So then I said, "What do you think I'm made of, wool?" :''[The lady sheep giggle.]'' :'''Wiley''': Agnes! Lucille! Mary-Lou! What are you doing?! Whoa, look at the shine on those hooves! :'''Gray sheep''': Dazzling, aren't they? Uh, you missed a spot. :'''Wiley''': Look, pal, all you've done since you've got here is insult me and my flock. And now if I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to take over as head sheep. :'''Gray sheep''': He's cute, but a little slow. :'''Wiley''': That's it! We are going to settle this the way they do in Brooklyn! :'''Gray sheep''': You mean...? :'''Wiley''': You got it! A dance-off! Hit it! ''[dances]'' :'''Gray sheep''': Not bad, but you're looking at a three-time golden hooves champion. :''[Wiley and the other sheep dance together while the flock watches.]'' :'''Gray sheep''': Well, flock, which one of us has the magic feet? :''[After a beat, the entire flock blows a raspberry. Wiley and the gray sheep slump sadly.]'' :'''Gray sheep''': Hoo... Tough audience. <hr width=50% /> :'''Grandpa Piggley''': Ferny and I really wanted to like Hector's version of "The Hand with the Thirteen Fingers". We truly did. But we couldn't help remembering how much more fun and scary it was when Dannan had told us the story the summer before. Of course, now that I think of it, I don't know if it would have really mattered if Hector had been the greatest storyteller of all time or not. For Ferny and myself, something was missing. And that something was Dannan. <hr width=50% /> :'''Gosford''': Okay, and then they heard this noise... Oh, wait. Did I say first it was a ghost ship? Okay, sorry. ''[laughs]'' It was a ghost ship. ''[honks]'' So, they heard this noise, and oh no, it's not a ghost ship! Okay, everybody, forget I said that! They hear the noise, and that's the ghost ship! :'''Piggley''': Jakers. I'd love to hear Dannan tell this one. :'''Ferny''': Oh, me too. :'''Gosford''': So, now the ghost ship, honk, comes up next to the other ship. Wait, wait just a second. And there are ghosts on it! Honk. On the ghost ship, that is, on the other ship, I'm not really sure, so we'll just pretend there's just like a giant squid. <hr width=50% /> :'''Elly''': Well, excuse me, boys, but I heard you were telling scary stories here. Would it be alright if I listened in? :'''Padrig''': I know she's a girl, but I'm hoping you might make an exception for your own mother. :'''Hector''': Well, uh... Being a mother isn't the same as being a girl. :'''Piggley''': It's okay, Mammy. You can stay. :'''Elly''': Oh, thank you, boys. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': See, Hector? Girls can be just as scary as you. ''Scarier'', even! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': This farm's not big enough for the two of us. :'''Gray sheep''': You are right, fuzzy, so there's only one thing left to do. A vote. Okay, flock. It's up to you. Who will it be? A multi-talented, curly-wooled sheep about town such as myself... or him? :''[The flock looks at Wiley and the gray sheep. Wiley smiles and waves at his flock. Soon, one by one, the flock walks up to Wiley's side, much to the surprise of the gray sheep.]'' :'''Gray sheep''': Well, I... I have to hand it to you, Wiley. You are the leader of one loyal flock. :'''Wiley''': I am? ''[the other sheep nod]'' :'''Gray sheep''': And you're a pretty good dancer, too. ''[dons his top hat]'' Maybe we'll meet up again when I've brushed up a bit. ''[dances and leaves whistling]'' :''[Wiley and the flock wave goodbye.]'' :'''Wiley''': Uh, so, sweetheart, what did you think of my dancing? Be honest. ''[the sheep whispers to Wiley]'' Not ''that'' honest. ''[laughs]'' You sweet-talker. ===New Best Friends [1.20]=== :'''Gosford''': My oak tree is ancient! :'''Dannan''': My rowan tree is prehistoric! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Who wants to get Uncle Wiley a pillow? Who wants to get Uncle Wiley an ice pack? <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': A flower? After what you kids put me through, you think a flower is gonna make it all better? ===Treasure Hunt [1.21]=== :'''Wiley''': Okay, no more treasure hunt. After all, the best things in life are free. If only I could believe that. ===A Little Bit of Something Extra! Extra! [1.23]=== :'''Piggley''': Sir, Piggley Winks from the Tara School News here! Are you lost? :'''Male pig citizen''': Eh, no, I... :'''Piggley''': Have you been robbed? :'''Male pig citizen''': No. :'''Piggley''': Did your house burn down? :'''Male pig citizen''': Oh, I hope not! :'''Piggley''': Have you seen any good movies lately? :'''Male pig citizen''': ''[frustrated]'' I... I'm just looking for me car! :'''Piggley''': Aha! Your car has been stolen! Tell me, who do you think might have stolen it, then? :'''Male pig citizen''': Well, it's not stolen! I just can't remember where I parked it. ''[laughs]'' There it is! :'''Dannan''': Oh, it's too bad he found his car. That would've made a fine story. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': News isn't about pretending. It's about telling the truth. :'''Piggley''': But we're not finding any interesting truth to tell. <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': Made-up news isn't real news, Piggley. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Hopping hairballs! No Little Baa! Where are you?! <hr width=50% /> :'''Hector''': ''[seeing Little Baa in the cauliflower box]'' The cauliflower is alive! ===Ferny Gets a Crush [1.24]=== :''[The sheep are terrified by the sound of Padrig's tractor backfiring.]'' :'''Wiley''': Hey, hey. What are you guys hiding behind me for? Oh yeah, I forgot. Defender of the flock, and all that. Hey, you think maybe we could start that defending stuff tomorrow? :''[The sheep bleat and push Wiley to the door.]'' :'''Wiley''': Alright, I'm going, I'm going. What a stupid day to become a knight. :''[Wiley goes outside, and sees smoke from the tractor coming out from the side of the barn.]'' :'''Wiley''': Sweet Sally from Sligo! It's a dragon! Some day, I'm sure I'll look back on this thing and laugh. Or scream in terror. Who knows? ===Lucky U [1.26]=== :'''Grandpa Piggley''': ''[singing'' Molly Malone ''while watering his garden]'' :She wheeled the wheelbarrow :Through streets broad and narrow :Crying "Cockles and mussels!" :"Alive, alive-oh!" :"Alive, alive-oh...!" :"Alive, alive..." ==Season 2== ===Molly Had a Little Lamb [2.2]=== :'''Molly''': No! This is naughty, Lamby! This food doesn't belong to you! I'm sorry, but you shouldn't even be here. Lambs should be in the field with the other sheep. It's time to take you home. ===Rain, Rain Go Away [2.4]=== :'''Wiley''': Hey, flock. Anybody notice anything, like water? Of course, you don't. Nothing can get through that thick wool of yours. Me, I'm delicate. I notice things, like when I'm being rained on. ''[lots of rain falls down on Wiley]'' That's it. I'm off to find someplace that's not so damp. ''[slips and falls in the water]'' Hold my calls. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': ''[making a sandwich his own way for Molly]'' Now, what do you say to that? :'''Molly''': '''THAT'S NOT HOW MAMMY DOES IT!!!''' :'''Piggley''': Of course not! Like I told you, it's a Piggley special. :'''Molly''': I don't like the Piggley special sandwich! I like Mammy's sandwiches! :'''Piggley''': Sure you haven't even tried it? :'''Molly''': '''''MAMMYYYYYY!!!''''' <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Look at this place! No wonder they call it a ruin, it's ruined! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[inside a dark castle with a bunch of wild goats]'' No offense, but someone here has missed their appointment with a shower. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': ''[reading to Molly]'' Buck Bravo was the bravest sheriff in the wild west. Wherever he went, people felt safer knowing he was on the job. :'''Molly''': Where's the wild west? :'''Piggley''': In America. It's where cowboys come from. Whenever there was trouble, a call would go out, and Buck would ride to the rescue. :'''Molly''': ''[gasps]'' To save a princess? :'''Piggley''': There's no princesses in the wild west, Molly. Buck would saddle up his trusty horse, Dusty, and-- :'''Molly''': Can Dusty fly? :'''Piggley''': Horses can't fly, Molly. :'''Molly''': Princess Princy Plumme's horse can fly. :'''Piggley''': ''[gives up]'' And they lived happily ever after, the end! <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Yuck. I've heard about caves. They're dark, and dirty, and filled with bats. Ugh. But dry. Very dry. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': You're not running out into the rain to tell Mam that I'm not sharing a pretend bird with you! ===A Touch of Spain [2.5]=== :'''Dannan''': Why is it that not one of us knew that donkeys don't wear horseshoes? :'''Piggley''': Oh, I guess that's why they don't call it donkeyshoes. :'''Dannan''': At least the horse is happy. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley goes to Dannan's house early the next morning.]'' :'''Piggley''': Dannan, Dannan, I have to talk to you! :'''Dannan''': Piggley, you wouldn't put a dog out this early in the morning. :'''Piggley''': But, Dannan! I know how to keep Don Toro from going back to Spain! :'''Dannan''': What are you doing to do, wake him up so he's too tired to go? :'''Piggley''': I've got the perfect plan. Don Toro's leaving 'cause he misses Spain, right? :'''Dannan''': Right... :'''Piggley''': So, instead of going to Spain, we bring Spain to him! :'''Dannan''': You are sleep deprived. ===Waking Thor [2.7]=== :'''Piggley''': A sandwich! Raw vegetables! They've turned me into... Vlad the Daft! :'''Dannan''': ''[gasps]'' A vampire! Don't worry, Ferny! I'll protect ya! :'''Ferny''': Why do they call you "Daft"? :'''Piggley''': Because I always do the opposite of what I'm told! <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny:''' :Oh... :Thor, I'll miss you :And I'll feel sad :But I won't forget :The good times we had :I gave you your name :And I gave you care :But you gave me something :Much more rare :Deep in my heart :You'll always be there... ===Dannan Does a Jig [2.10]=== :'''Wiley''': Look, if you guys don't start shaping up, I'm gonna have to bring in a sheepdog to control you! A sheepdog! You know, the kind with ''teeth!'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': Who says you can't teach an old sheep new tricks? <hr width=50% /> :''[Dannan's feet are painted red and blue to help her dance, but she crashed in the middle of dancing.]'' :'''Dannan''': Me feet might be red and blue, but me backside is black and blue. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[tired of pretending to be a sheepdog]'' This dog stuff is for the birds, and I am a sheep. <hr width=50% /> :''[Dannan is having a nightmare where she embarrasses herself and her grandmother with her dancing in front of the whole school.]'' :'''Grandma''': ''[disappointed]'' Just like your grandfather! ===Wish Upon a Story (Part 1) [2.12]=== :''[In Sean's story, Molly asks to ride the Raloo Rocket, which has turned into a real rocket.]'' :'''Piggley''': Are you whacked?! It's too dangerous for little girls! :'''Molly''': No fair! :'''Piggley''': Yes, fair! :'''Molly''': Well, if you ask me, I think this whole thing is bogus! <hr width=50% /> :'''Elly''': Don't you be coming home late for dinner now, little dude. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[riding Finnegan in Egypt]'' Hey, hey, we're walkin' here! <hr width=50% /> :'''Dannan''': I think you're headed right towards the Eiffel Tower, Commander Piggley! :'''Ferny''': Hit the brakes! :'''Piggley''': I don't think there are any brakes! :'''Ferny''': Oh. Bummer. <hr width=50% /> :'''Piggley''': ''[landing on the moon]'' That's one small step for me, but one giant leap for kid-kind! <hr width=50% /> :''[In Meg's story, Dannan has made a wish to control Mr. Hornsby's words.]'' :'''Mr. Hornsby:''' Now, class...

The rest of the day, '''WE'LL HAVE NOTHING BUT PARTIES!!!''' <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': They're having a party. Well, that's truly amazing. Those kids are as happy as hungry sheep grazing. Hey, whaddya know? I'm a poet, and I don't even know it. <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': ''[seeing Ferny as a giant]'' Hoppin' hairballs, someone oughta tell that kid to lay off the nachos. ===The Creepy Cabbages of County Galway [2.14]=== :'''Padrig''': ''[on a crossword puzzle]'' A five-letter word meaning "elf". :'''Elly''': Gnome. <hr width=50% /> :'''Padrig''': Piggley, you're supposed to be in bed. :'''Piggley''': But I ''love'' scary shows! Scary Monster Theater is me favorite! :'''Padrig''': Scary Monster Theater is for children. Creepy Theater is for grown-ups. :'''Elly''': That's why it's on ''after'' your bedtime. <hr width=50% /> :''[Piggley is listening to the radio show from inside his bedroom.]'' :'''Professor's wife''': ''[on radio]'' Quiet night, professor? :'''Professor''': ''[on radio]'' Indeed. Maybe, a little ''too'' quiet. :'''Elly''': Piggley, are you under your covers? :'''Piggley''': Uh, yes, mam, I'm under me covers. ''[snickers]'' :'''Professor's wife''': It's a beautiful night. :'''Professor''': Beautiful, but still too quiet. :'''Professor's wife''': ''[gasps]'' What's that?

I'm having a dream. :'''Ferny''': With cabbages! ''[chuckles]'' :'''Dannan''': Why do you have cabbages in your dream, Piggley? :'''Piggley''': Probably because I listened to the Creepy Theater radio show just before I fell asleep. :'''Dannan''': ''[furious]'' '''WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-WHAT-''WHAT?!''''' You were listening to Creepy Theater? ''[Piggley guiltily nods]'' Didn't your parents tell you that's a grown-up show? :'''Piggley''': I figure I'm grown-up enough, Dannan. ''[after a beat, frowns]'' :'''Dannan''': Oh, you think so? Well, I won't be any part of a dream that comes from disobeying your parents! :'''Piggley''': Okay, Dannan! But you're going to miss out on all the fun! :'''Dannan''': Fun? Ha! Mark my words, Piggley. No good'll come of this rule-breaking stuff! <hr width=50% /> :'''Cabbage vendor''': Cabbages! I've got cabbages! Get your cabbages today! <hr width=50% /> :'''Miss Nanny''': How would you boys like some free sweets? :'''Piggley''': Sweets? :'''Ferny''': Oh, thank you, Miss Nanny! Piggley, you should've been dreaming about this from the start. :'''Miss Nanny''': Oh, how about something extra special? I have just the thing in me shop. Wait here. ''[goes into her shop]'' :'''Ferny''': Oh... I'd rather have sweets than fly in a wagon any old day of the week. :'''Piggley''': You can have sweets anytime, Ferny. :'''Ferny''': Right, but I'd still rather have 'em. :'''Miss Nanny''': ''[comes out of her shop]'' Here you go. Have some nice, chocolate-covered... cabbage! :'''Piggley''': CABBAGE?! :'''Miss Nanny''': If you don't like chocolate, how about a peppermint cabbage? :''[Piggley and Ferny gasp.]'' :'''Miss Nanny''': Or perhaps butterscotch cabbage? Cotton cabbage? A cabbage toffee? ''[becoming gradually hysterical]'' A cabbage cake? Lolly-cabbage-pops! ''[Piggley and Ferny run away]'' Tutti-frutti cabbage! '''CABBAGE-SICLES!!!''' <hr width=50% /> :'''Wiley''': You know what they say, Bernie. You are what you eat. ''[Bernie has been turned into a cabbage with hooves]'' So I'm thinking, maybe you should lay off cabbages for a little while. ''[the other sheep are all cabbages]'' In fact, the whole flock should lay off cabbages! :''[A carrot with hooves walks up.]'' :'''Wiley''': Except for you, Ethel. You should cut down on the carrots. ''[the carrot droops sadly]'' <hr width=50% /> :'''Ferny''': Piggley, you've got to stop dreaming about cabbages! :'''Piggley''': I can't, Ferny! :'''Ferny''': ''[frantically shakes Piggley]'' Then wake up! Come on! '''''WAKE UP!!!''''' ''[splashes a bucket of water on Piggley]'' :'''Piggley''': It's no good, Ferny. :'''Ferny''': What if you never wake up? :'''Piggley''': Let's make a promise.

I was riding him to fast. :''[Lisa --unaware of the fact that her toothache is still there-- becomes concerned about Corduroy's injury when he --Corduroy-- rocked on Buckaroo the rocking horse too fast and fell off of him.]'' :'''Lisa''': You should have told me right away. :''[Lisa picks up Corduroy.]'' :'''Lisa''': Come on, I'll fix it up for you. :''[In the bathroom, Lisa --despite still feeling her toothache-- puts the bandage on Corduroy's scraped and cut elbow.]'' :'''Lisa''': There.

Sometimes when you worried about something your mind exaggerates things like the size of a needle. :'''Lisa''': You mean it's not this big? :'''Lisa's Mom''': More like this small. The needle is just meant to keep you from being uncomfortable. You can hardly feel it. :'''Lisa''': And I'm not going to get my teeth pulled out either? :'''Lisa's Mom''': Your teeth pulled out? Goodness, no. Whoever told you? :''[Lisa's mom thinks that Lisa have heard that from Moppy.]'' :'''Lisa's Mom''': Let me guess. :''[Lisa and her mom started to laugh.]'' :'''Lisa and Lisa's Mom''': Moppy. :''[They continue to laugh.

So when Corduroy asks Lisa to "help him climb the statue", Lisa picks him up thinking she might do so.

No? :''[Rosetta also thinks that she and Corduroy can do anything they want in the art gallery.]'' :'''Rosetta''': That means we have the whole place to ourselves! :'''Lisa''': ''[to Rosetta]'' (Not quite, Rosetta.) It's great that Mom is letting us wander around while she's working. :''[Lisa continues to Corduroy and Rosetta about the art gallery and its rules. She says it is for everyone and talks to them about the ropes in the gallery.]'' :'''Lisa''': ''[to Rosetta about the ropes]'' But those ropes aren't for playing. ''[then to Corduroy about the art sculptures]'' And neither is this art. :'''Corduroy''': I'm not supposed to play here? :'''Lisa''': Uh-uh.

Lisa, she --funnily warns Corduroy-- and gives him a nickname to be a parody of his name. She --after she says this "If you don't, you may become 'Clay-duroy'!"-- replaces the first syllable --or "prefix"-- "Cor" in his name --which is "Corduroy"-- with "Clay". And --with the new syllable "Clay"-- she repronounces it as "Clay-duroy" for a new name on him. That is, if he is not careful and is seen covered with clay.

Why are you helping her all of a sudden? :'''Danny''': Oh, she hid me from Dash earlier today. I'm just returning the favour. :'''Sam''': Well, be careful.

But, ooh, if you wanted to give me her number.... <hr width=50%/> :'''Valerie''': Hey, Danny. :'''Danny''': Hey, Val. :'''Tucker''': "Hey, Val"? Isn't that the same Val that's usually on a jet sled trying to paste Danny? :'''Sam''': Yep.

''[Danny shoots her a dirty look]'' Sorry. Standard question. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sam''': ''[drinking tea]'' I'm getting worried. We haven't seen Danny or Valerie for hours. :'''Jack''': Ah, they're fine. They've been up in Danny's room. Alone. For hours. :''[Sam drops the teacup and it shatters.]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Skulker''': Now, go, defeat him, so I will be free to hunt you another day. :'''Danny''': ''[to Ember]'' Guy really knows how to motivate ya.... <hr width=50%/> :'''Danny''': I don't understand.... :'''Vlad''': What? That I used two fourteen year old pawns to turn a knight and topple a king? It's [[chess]], Daniel. Of course you don't understand. But then, you never really did. <hr width=50%/> :'''Tucker''': Dude, you can't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault. :'''Danny''': Maybe not. But it is my [[responsibility]]. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pariah Dark''': You can't possibly win. :'''Danny''': I don't have to win. I just have to make sure you lose! <hr width=50%/> :'''Danny''': ''[referring to all the ghosts]'' How did they cram all of you inside the Specter Speeder? :'''Ember''': Hey, you ever been inside your stupid thermos? Compared to that, it was the [[w:Taj Mahal|Taj Mahal]] in there! <hr width= "50%/> :'''Sam''': Danny, you beat the big bad guy, and you saved the town. That's enough for one day, dont'cha think? :'''Danny''': Almost. ''[[Walks up to [[bully|Dash Baxter]]]]''. :'''Dash''': You've got a lot of nerve walking up to me in broad daylight, Fenton! :'''Danny''': Actually, I wanted to say I was sorry. I pulled some [[w:prank|pranks]] on you and - well, with all the weirdness of the last few days, I'm sorta [[thinking]] that just because I can do something doesn't mean I should. So, apology accepted? :[''cut to Danny [[w:wedgie|hanging from a flagpole by his underpants]]''] :'''Dash''': [[Apology]] accepted :[''Danny's underwear tears and he falls to the ground screaming''] :'''Valerie''': Looks like everything's back to [[normal]]. ===''Identity Crisis'' [2.6]=== :'''Danny''': ''[going through his ghost files with Sam and Tucker]'' Okay, Ember: Ghost Zone.

''[smug look]'' See? <hr width=50%/> :'''Fun Danny''': ''[on a roller coaster]'' Oh, man, this is the life. I wish I could stay on this ride, like, forever. :''[all of the rides in the fair suddenly stop as the sky darkens]'' :'''Sam''': And you may just get your wish. :'''Tucker''': Why couldn't you wish for super models? :'''Super Danny''': Did someone say, "super"?! :'''Sam''': Ah, somebody kill me. ===''The Fenton Menace'' [2.7]=== :'''Jazz''': See? This toxic home environment is making him a nervous wreck! ''[Danny's eye twitches]'' He needs a normal family outing! One that has nothing to do with ghosts! :'''Danny''': Will you stop talking about me like I'm not here?! ''[invisible Youngblood pokes Danny]'' AND WILL YOU STOP POKING ME?! :'''Maddie''': I don't know, Jazz, honey. Sure Danny seems a little high-strung but I'm sure it's nothing we can't work out here... :''[Youngblood pokes Danny again]'' :'''Danny''': Back off, punk! ''[snatches an ecto-gun and fires it all around the lab]'' :'''Jack & Maddie & Jazz''': ''[find cover behind piles of boxes]'' :'''Maddie''': ''[to Jazz]'' I'll get the sleeping bags. :'''Jack''': And I'll get that ghost hunting equipment!

What are you, the hall monitor now? :'''Jazz''': I'm ''your'' hall monitor, Danny. And there's no place you can go that I can't follow. :'''Danny''': Really? :''[Danny walks into the boy's room and shuts the door on Jazz's face]'' :'''Jazz''': Except there. <hr width=50%/> :'''Maddie''': Who's up for a game of "I Spy"? I spy with my little eyes something beginning with... C! :'''Jack''': Cola, chaffing, cattleprod... :'''Danny''': Cowboy? :'''Jazz''': Where do you see a cowboy? :'''Danny''': Duh, he's riding right next to us!...At seventy miles an hour? Oh no not again. ===''The Ultimate Enemy'' [2.8–9]=== :''[Danny is about to open the envelope and look at the test answers.

''[sees ghost behind Danny]'' But if that's your attitude, I don't want to see you or anything you do in here for the next several minutes! ''[rushes out]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Clockwork''': ''[to Danny, Tucker, and Sam]'' I sent him back to his own time. Or rather, forward to his own time. You see, to me time moves backward and forward and... Oh, why am I bothering? You're only 14. <hr width=50%/> :'''Future Box Ghost''': Well, well, well. ''[Danny turns to see the Future Box Ghost]'' All this time we've planning on how we take the fight to you.

That's why the Booo-merang wasn't homing in on your ecto-signature. You're not Danny! :'''Dark Danny''': I was, but I grew out of it. The Danny you know is floating helplessly in the Ghost Zone ten years in the future. :'''Jazz''': He'll escape! He'll beat you! :'''Dark Danny''': How? Is the answer: A. the Fenton Portal? Destroyed it. B. the only remaining portal? The one that my idiot cheesehead archenemy has? As soon as I find it, that's going too. :'''Jazz''': Cheesehead? Vlad Masters? ''He's'' your archenemy? :'''Dark Danny''': ''[continues]'' Is it: C. you? No. You can't stop me from cheating on the C.A.T. and solidifying my future, so it must be D... ''[blasts Jazz away with a plasma blast]'' None of the above. :''[Jazz faints; Dark Danny transforms into Danny, takes the C.A.T. answers form, and reads the answers.

''[looks at them]'' My voice is changing... great, ''[transforms back]'' now I'm going through Evil Puberty. Everywhere I go my evil future is smacking me in the face! ''[hit on the back of the head with the Booo-merang]'' OWW! <hr width=50%/> :'''Jack''': Where is he? Where's our son? :'''Maddie''': What have you done to our boy?! :'''Dark Danny''': ''[laughing]'' Ha, ha, ha! I ''am'' your boy! :'''Maddie''': ''What?!?'' :'''Dark Danny''': What kind of parents were you anyway? The world's leading ghost experts, and you couldn't even figure out that your own son was half-ghost! :'''Jack''': ''[to Maddie]'' For the record, I blame you. <hr width=50%/> :'''Dark Danny''': What makes you think you can change my past? :'''Danny''': Because I promised my family! :'''Dark Danny''': Aha ha, ha, ha! Oh, you are such a child! You promised? :'''Danny''': Yes! I...PROMISED! :''[Danny uses his Ghostly Wail on Dark Danny.]'' :'''Dark Danny''': Oh! That power! Oh, it's not possible! I don't get that power until ten years from now! :'''Danny''': I guess... the future isn't as set in stone as you think it is. ''[roars again]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Observant 1''': He has the answers to the test. :'''Observant 2''': He's clearly going to cheat. :'''Observant 1''': He has your time medallion. :'''Observant 2''': He has your time medallion. :'''Clockwork''': You said that twice. <hr width=50%/> :'''Dark Danny''': ''[to Tucker and Sam]'' You know, if I had an ounce of humanity left in me, this would be a very touching little reunion, but of course I surrendered my human half a long time ago. <hr width=50%/> :'''Future Vlad''': ''[telling how Dark Danny came into existence]'' If it's any consolation, they went so quickly. They felt no pain. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for you, Daniel. With nowhere else to go, you came to me, the only person on the planet who could possibly hope to understand your situation. All you wanted was to make the hurt go away. I honored your wishes... no more painful human emotions to drag you down. Sadly, that freed you up to rip the ghost out of me. And when my evil ghost half mixed with yours, my evil side overwhelmed you. :'''Danny''': What happened to my human self? :'''Future Vlad''': Some things, my boy, are better left unsaid. If any good came out of this, it's that ten years without ghost powers gave me the chance to see what a fool I'd been. :'''Danny''': Maybe that's all anybody needs. A second chance. <hr width=50%/> :'''Dark Danny''': Your time is up, Danny. ''It's been up for '''ten years.''''' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Danny sits on the steps of Casper High; Jazz comes over to him]'' :'''Danny''': So how long have you known? :'''Jazz''': About the test? For days, but I'm really proud of you for not cheating. :'''Danny''': Not that. ''[Danny holds up Jazz's tattered note and torn piece of her headband]'' Your headband, your note with your handwriting. :'''Jazz''': What that? ''[chuckles nervously and blushes]'' I didn't write that. And there must be dozens of headbands. :'''Danny''': ''[looking unconvinced]'' Jazz... :'''Jazz''': ''[sits down beside Danny]'' Since the Spectra thing. I didn't want to tell you until you wanted to tell me. It's your secret. :'''Danny''': Well, it's our secret now. :''[They hug]'' :'''Jazz''': Don't think this means I'll stop being meddling and overprotective. :'''Danny''': I wouldn't have it any other way. ===''The Fright Before Christmas'' [2.10]=== :'''Lance Thunder''': ''[mumbling]'' "Can't believe I quit acting to work in this place. :''[to newscaster]'' There's chaos here, Bill.

''[Destroys the keyboard]'' Through. :NO!!!" :'''Ghost Writer''': Danny screamed. :'''Danny''': "I'm ''still'' talking in rhyme!" :'''Ghost Writer''': I would have forewarned you, if given the time! :There are two ways to finish this poem. Just two. :I'd type out "The End", but I can't, thanks to ''you!'' :So, now, ''you'll'' guide this story of the ghost who hates Christmas! :Think you can do it? All mopey and listless? :''[Gets thrown in the prison truck]'' You think this ends here? You’re about to get burned! :This story's not done 'TIL THE LESSON IS LEARNED! <hr width=50%/> :'''Danny''': And that's when I thought, maybe this is the moral – :In the same way my folks love their old Christmas quarrel: :Everyone celebrates in the way of their choosing. :I was so busy whining, I started abusing :The ones I loved most and I ruined their cheer. :I'll try to be better come Christmas next year. :'''Sam''': Uh, nice sentiment, but what are you, a greeting card? :'''Tucker''': Yeah. Why you talking in rhyme? :'''Jazz''': Such a dork. :'''Danny''': We're not talking in rhyme. ''[excited]'' We're not talking in rhyme! :''[As Ghost Writer is shown in a prison cell, a bear-like creature scoots up to him.

He's hunting you ''again?!'' :'''Jazz''': ''Again?!'' As in more than once? :'''Danny''': Jazz, take it easy. There's a rhythm to these things. Ghosts attack, we exchange witty banter, I kick ghost butt, and we all go home having learned a valuable lesson about honesty, or some such nonsense. :'''Jazz''': ''[jotting down on a memo pad]'' Attack, banter, kick butt, lesson, got it. ''[beat]'' So, why is he not attacking? :'''Danny''': What?! ''[Sees Skulker flying away]'' No attack? He's ignoring me?! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Danny''': ''[watches Skulker tear through the lab equipment in the basement]'' And here I thought you weren't hunting me. :'''Skulker''': Where is the Ecto-Converter? :'''Danny''': See, that's more like it. You make demands, I ignore them. <hr width=50%/> :''[Jazz walks in the janitor closet holding her laptop with Danny's personal ghost files on it]'' :'''Danny''': Where did you get this?! :'''Jazz''': From your computer. :'''Danny''': You hacked into my personal ghost files?! And how did you get the password?! :'''Sam, Tucker, and Jazz''': It's Paulina Fenton. :'''Sam''': Seriously Danny, it's not that hard to figure it out. :'''Jazz''': How come you never told me Vlad Masters has ghost powers? And he has a thing for Mom?! :'''Danny''': Because it's none of your business! ''[while he closes the laptop Jazz is holding]'' :'''Sam''': ''[sneaking out of the closet with Tucker]'' If you don't mind, we'll be over there, doing the "glad I'm an only child" dance. :'''Jazz''': Danny, calm down! :'''Danny''': Calm down? How can I calm down with you constantly butting your nose in where it doesn't belong? :'''Jazz''': I was just trying to help... :'''Danny''': NO ONE ASKED YOU TO HELP, Because you're a lousy ghost hunter, ''[while people are listening outside the closet]'' an overbearing sister, and an annoying, obnoxious know-it-all who has no respect for her brother's privacy", SO STOP HELPING! ''[they gasp and Jazz begins running crying out of the closet and the people then glare at Danny]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Tucker''': Do you want us to talk to Jazz? :'''Danny''': I'm perfectly capable of talking to my own sister! :'''Sam''': ...Which is why you're hiding from her. In a broom closet. :'''Danny''': No, I'm not! :'''Jazz''': Danny, you in there? :'''Danny''': Hide me! ''[jumps into a trash can]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Jazz''': ''[crying at Vlad's doorstep]'' Oh... Uncle Vlad... ''[sniffs]'' I've run away from home. My father's an idiot, my brother hates me, and I wanna stay here with you.

Come to Uncle Vlad! ''[happily escorts her inside]'' <hr width=50%/> :'''Danny''': We're gonna have to fight. But we're gonna need to make it look convincing. ''[Jazz punches Danny, sending him into the shield. He is shocked by the electricity and falls back to the ground]'' :'''Jazz''': That's for humiliating me in front of the whole school. :'''Danny''': Alright, I deserve that and I'm sorry, you're just trying to help, but please just follow my lead. ''[She punches Danny who gets electrocuted again then punches him repeatedly as he falls, but he phases her suit into the ground]'' :'''Danny''': Will you listen to me for once in your life?! ===''Flirting With Disaster'' [2.12]=== :'''Tucker''': ''[about his PDA]'' It's picking up Technus! Something in his new upgrade is making my PDA all wonky. :'''Sam''': Like at the mall... And the lab... And the ferris wheel! He's pushing Danny and Valerie together! ''[Tucker laughs]'' ''[unimpressed]'' If you're done, we have to tell Danny. :'''Tucker''': ''[giggling and speaking]'' You wanna tell Danny that Technus is playing matchmaker? How do you think he's gonna react to that? :''[Scene changes to the next day with Danny laughing]'' :'''Sam''': ''[annoyed]'' Are you done yet? :'''Danny''': No. ''[keeps laughing]'' Okay, ''now'' I'm done. You're trying to tell me that Technus is trying to hook me up? Come on! Technus ''hates'' emotions! :'''Sam''': And hello? He's using yours against you. :'''Tucker''': Dim lights, stalled ferris wheel - You think the universe ''wants'' you two to be together? :''[Valerie is shown hiding in the bushes]'' :'''Danny''': Well, maybe, but... I don't know... ''I'' might. :''[Sam and Valerie gasp]'' :'''Tucker''': Uh...really? Because Tech... :'''Sam''': ''[sees Valerie hiding]'' Uh... ''Tech''nically because we just want you to be happy! If you like her we'll just have to make space for her at our table. ''[eye twitches]'' :'''Danny''': Speaking of Valerie I was suppose to meet her before class. ''[Danny walks away and Valerie shows up]'' :'''Valerie''': Did you mean that? :'''Sam''': Um...uh...yeah, sure. If Danny likes you and you like Danny, the least we can do is give you a chance. ''[Valerie hugs Sam]'' Human contact...crushing Goth...indifference.... <hr width=50%/> :''[Valerie proving that the one in the ghost hunting suit wasn't her]'' :'''Damon''': That could've been you! :'''Valerie''': No, because it never was me. :'''Damon''': I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

I guess I can let it go this time. :'''Valerie''': You're only saying that because the suit's destroyed. :'''Damon''': Bingo. <hr width=50%/> :'''Jack''': Danny! Word on the street has it that you've got a girlfriend!

I'm gonna give you some fatherly advice. Then I am going to say something that makes you cringe and run out of the room in embarrassment! :'''Danny''': Check. Advice, first? :'''Jack''': Alright... If you really like this girl, Danny, you should let her know and give her something... Like this! ''[puts a ring on the table]'' :'''Danny''': ''[surprised]'' A [[w:Class ring|class ring]]? :'''Jack''': A girlfriend's not a girlfriend until you give her a class ring, Danny. It also says, "I think you could be the girl I fight ghosts with"! ''[beat]'' At least it did with your mom - I don't know how appropriate that is for you... :'''Danny''': ''[laughs]'' You'd be surprised. I can give her this? :'''Jack''': Only if she's special. I'm sure Sam'll love it! :'''Danny''': ''[alarmed]'' It's not for Sam! :'''Jack''': ''[laughs, unconvinced]'' Of course, it's not! You guys are just friends! ''[leans in slightly]'' I even had it engraved! ''[Danny looks at the ring, and sure enough, Sam's name is engraved on the inside]'' See, that was the ''embarrassing'' thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for pie! ''[holds up a pie, Danny walks off]'' Clueless... <hr width=50%/> :'''Sam''': ''[sees Valerie following Danny into the sky]'' Uh...Danny. Danny.

For me. Besides, I like her, and she likes me – isn't it supposed to be that simple? :'''Sam and Tucker''': ''[shrugs]'' Clueless. :'''Valerie''': ''[puts her hand on Danny's shoulder]'' Danny? :'''Danny''': Wow. I-I'm glad you're here. I, uh wanted to ask you something. :'''Valerie''': Actually, me first. ''[Sam and Tucker walk off]'' Danny, I've had a lot of fun these last few days, but my life's way too complicated right now for us to be anything other than... friends. :'''Danny''': Just... friends? B-b-but I thought... :'''Valerie''': I thought, too. But there's something important I have to do, and I don't want you to get hurt because of it.

There wasn't a dry eye in the whole camp. :'''Hawkeye''': Tuttle always brought out the best in me. :'''Radar''': Hey, I just got one question. Where'd you guys get the dog-tags and the parachute? :'''Trapper''': Oh, that was Major Murdock. :'''Radar''': Who? :'''Hawkeye''': Who's Major Murdock? :'''Trapper''': You know. Tall, skinny fella.

There are certain rules about a war. Rule number one is young men die. And rule number two is doctors can't change rule number one. <hr width="50%"> :'''[[w:Hawkeye Pierce|Hawkeye]]''': Wendell, another word for "gooks" is "people." ===''Dear Dad, Again''=== :'''[[w:Hawkeye Pierce|Hawkeye]]''': ''[thinking as he writes]'' I've never put much stock in ESP, but if it is possible for one person to read another person's mind, Radar has that ability.

The only thing that matters for the characters in Jeunet's film is acquiring power over others. Set on a military research station, it's about a group of scientists who undo Ripley's death by cloning her so that they can extract the alien inside her. Their experiments include impregnating human test subjects with the creature, a singularly unhealthy procedure for the hapless civilians conscripted for that purpose. The scientists and their military taskmasters care about only one thing: having the alien's power. They speak about its beauty. Its purity. <br> Ironically, the only character who has a sense of human decency and compassion is an android (Winona Ryder). ** Tirdad Derakhshani, [https://www.inquirer.com/philly/entertainment/20120605__lsquo_Prometheus_rsquo__bound__Why_we_are_haunted_by_the_horror_of__lsquo_Alien_rsquo_.html Why we are haunted by the world of “Alien”], ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', (June 5, 2012) * To be blunt, the "Alien" movie franchise should have died along with its lead character, Lt. Ellen Ripley, in 1992's "Alien3." <br> Instead, greed has struck again, as producers have drafted a hip director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, of "Delicatessen" fame) and an even hipper writer (Joss Whedon, creator of TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") in hopes of reviving the film series. <br> But neither man has come up with anything particularly original and instead fall prey to dumb horror conventions with this splattery sequel, which actually gives "[[Starship Troopers]]" a run for its money in the gore department. ** [https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Whedon, whose "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]" TV scripts and whose dialogue for "[[Toy Story]]" evidenced some keen wit, shows none of it here, save for a couple of funny one-liners. <br> His characterizations are similarly stilted. None of the heroes is sympathetic, which makes it hard to care whether they survive the inevitable attacks (Ron Perlman, as a chauvinistic space pirate, is particularly irritating). **[https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Jeunet — who is without his collaborator, French comic book artist Marc Caro — seems intent on conveying a weird, creepy atmosphere, but fails to keep the action moving, and he photographs things at perspectives that make it hard to see what's going on. <br> And without a strong director, the actors are all over the place. Dan Hedaya plays things for camp as the station commander, while Weaver is even colder here than she is in "The Ice Storm." ** [https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Of course in the latest chapter it's not the same old Ripley who reappears. The resurrection in the title refers to the cloning by which she is involuntarily brought back to life 200 years (or 4 years in Hollywood time) after she hurled herself into an inferno in ''Alien 3'' rather than let a ferocious monster gestating inside her live. The twist is that the reconstituted Ripley has strands of the alien species woven into her DNA, enhancing her powers and infusing her with a dark, sardonic ambivalence about clashing again with probably the slimiest monsters Hollywood ever devised, now vaguely her kin. <br> Ms. Weaver says it was the reinvention of the Ripley character -- this ''spirit of [[nihilism]],'' as she calls it -- that persuaded her to do a fourth ''Alien'' film after she had all but decided that three were enough. ** William McDonald, [https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/movies/film-sigourney-weaver-eludes-the-image-police.html "Sigourney Weaver Eludes the Image Police"], ''New York Times'', (1997). * Tiptoeing into weird Freudian areas and moments of grotesquerie new even to this series, "Alien Resurrection," the fourth entry in Fox's almost 20-year-old franchise, is a generally cold, though sometimes wildly imaginative and surprisingly jokey, $70 million scarefest that may prove too mixed a meal to scare up monstrous business among mass auds. French helmer Jean-Pierre Jeunet — the more directorial half of the duo behind “[[w:Delicatessen(film)|Delicatessen]]” and “[[The City of Lost Children]]” — has breathed new life into the series on several fronts, and proves no slouch in delivering the action set pieces. But the movie is held back by a lack of emotional engagement at its center and a pottage of half-assimilated, European-flavored quirks. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * As a series of action set pieces, the movie is frequently gripping and always highly watchable. In one extended section — geographically reminiscent of “[[The Poseidon Adventure]]” with its underwater swim and vertical climb — there’s a real sense of claustrophobia as the beasties pursue their human lunch underwater, and the “[[Goldfinger (film)|Goldfinger]]”-like demise of the final alien is a typically imaginative tour de force. <br> Editing by Jeunet regular Herve Schneid is especially tight (pic is the shortest of the quartet). Darius Khondji’s lensing, aided by the silver-added ENR printing process, emphasizes deep blacks and soft ochers, with flashes of electric blue supplying visual relief. Nigel Phelps’ production design crosses geometrical sets and clangy brute iron with the Victorian-industrialized look of Jeunet’s own “Lost Children.” Whedon’s script injects some of the rough, testosterone humor of “Aliens” into a story that tries to build on the cross-species subtext of “Alien3.” <br> However, when the movie strays into weirder territory — where, one feels, Jeunet’s heart really lies — there’s a growing feeling of inadequacy. Pic’s interest in Ripley’s split, half-human personality and her maternal bond with the Queen leads to some of the most intriguing — and cheesiest — stuff in the picture, but overall come off more as exotic inserts than fully assimilated sequences. Upside moments include the discovery of a horrific lab (straight out of “Lost Children”) and Ripley’s late-on “embrace” of her fearsome offspring; downside is a laughable Newborn that all but blows the pic’s finale. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * It’s almost as if the pic is afraid to enter the darkened rooms whose doors it keeps opening, though if it had, a truly original movie could have resulted. As it is, the finished film shows many signs of creative push and pull — Whedon’s original script was extensively changed during production — from unexplained ellipses in the plot’s early stages, through dialogue that is surprisingly jokey and unelevated (considering the themes at play), to a storyline that seems unwilling to stray far from the action. <br> In addition, the key relationship in the picture, between femmes Ripley and Call, has little chance to realize its potential and provide a badly needed emotional hook for the audience. In every respect, this is a cold movie that, even at the very end, fails to provide the sense of emotional release that the others in the series all managed to deliver. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * Weaver, admittedly, is excellent in the latest Alien outing and remains probably the only credible female action lead. The film also puts an interesting twist on the steely bonds of motherhood and makes some rather obvious comments about the perils of genetic engineering (when will those dratted mad scientist types ever learn?). But about half-way through a film I desperately wanted to like, I found I had become bored. And that is the one crime against film-making I can-not forgive. <br> Here we were, once again, on a gloomy spaceship, with a rag-tag band of stock characters being picked off one by one by creatures that once were terrifying but now are mere caricatures. There are only so many times you can be scared by grasping claws dragging people through metal-grille floors, those tell-tale patches of slime (gasp, an alien was here!), those snapping, ratchet choppers embedding themselves in yet more flesh. How often are we supposed to cheer as the heroes narrowly escape, or the chief nasty gets sucked into the void? For most of the film, I was more scared of the sheer size of Sigourney (I'd give her a 9.5 on the buff-o-meter, compared to, say, a measly six or seven for Demi Moore in GI Jane) than her multi-toothed nemeses. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * From the instant those green-tinged posters were plastered about the winding corridors of MTR stations announcing the fourth instalment in the Alien series, each sighting sparked a flutter of excitement in my gut. Ever since those unforgettable scenes in the original film - the spidery creature erupting from the egg to force its deadly spore down an unsuspecting throat; the baby alien bursting through its victim's ribcage and scurrying slimily away with a malevolent shriek - I was hooked. <br> It was an irresistible combination of suspense, space - where no one can hear you scream - and artist H.R. Geiger's twisted vision of a monster which combined phallic imagery, insect savagery and a concept from the wilder shores of Freud's psychological armoury, vagina dentata (a deep-seated fear of female sexual organs armed with razor-sharp fangs). <br> The anticipation of Alien Resurrection, however, proved to be more thrilling than the event. Granted, we live in an age of cinematic cynicism, ruled by the multiplex and the multiple sequel. And I admit to having done my bit to contribute. If they keep churning them out until an 80-year-old Sigourney Weaver is blasting away at goo-oozing arthropods in Aliens 15, or a geriatric Mel Gibson is dislocating his shoulder in Lethal Weapon 22, I'll probably still be forking over my money to watch. Because art (and sequels) mirror life; occasional epiphanies, followed by frequent and generally doomed attempts to recapture them. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * The sheer contempt bred by familiarity has reduced what was, in its original incarnation, an intelligent, ground-breaking and thought-provoking film to a James Bond-style franchise. You pay your money and you know what you'll get and how you'll feel. Alienated. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * The much-maligned last part in the Alien quadrilogy should be approached as the comic-book actioner that it is (only Slate’s David Edelstein seemed to recognize the film’s ridiculous allure at the time of its release). Jean-Pierre Jeunet was brought on board by the suits at Fox to give Alien: Resurrection the look and feel of his overrated The City of Lost Children. That he did, but with a lot more laughs. Two-hundred years after Fincher’s Alien³, some company has resuscitated Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as a human/alien hybrid that combines the best and worst attributes of the old model. The new and not-so-improved Ripley has the same touching mother instinct and sex drive of her predecessor, but she’s also considerably more jaded. Weaver gets to deliver one humdinger after another, evoking Tallulah Bankhead in a sci-fi version of [[Lifeboat (film)|Lifeboat]] when she wails, “Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?” Not much has been written about the similarities between the film and Romero’s [[Day of the Dead]], but they’re impossible to ignore: the nature/nurture debate (Ripley versus the docile zombie Bud) and the ego of a military operation under attack. Of course, Alien: Resurrection is nowhere near as sophisticated and profound as Romero’s classic, but it’s still every bit as fun. As General Perez, Dan Hedaya spearheads a human retreat from the film’s military compound that’s remarkably orchestrated and ends with his goofy demise. If the film doesn’t bullshit around, the same can’t be said about Winona Ryder. As a closeted robot sent to destroy Ripley, the perpetually constipated actress declares at one point: “I can’t make critical mass.” How touching. ** Ed Gonzalez, [https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/alien-resurrection/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Slant'', (December 15, 2003) * It's no secret, but if you've never seen the end of Alien³, look away now because here comes the spoiler - Ripley dies at the end of it. You can almost see her muttering "Thank God" under her breath as she falls back into a molten lead sea. But! Using her DNA, she's cloned and brought back to life, now with some rather scary alien attributes. Stick her in a ship full of aliens and off we run once again. ** Almar Haflidason, [https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2003/12/08/alien_resurrecton_1997_dvd_review.shtml “Alien: Resurrection DVD (1997)”], ''BBC'', (12/08/2003) * As Hollywood movies go, it's a reasonably involving divertissement about genetics and Philip K. Dick-borrowed themes exploring what it means to be human. It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business. <br> Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who co-directed the otherworldly "Delicatessen" and the Terry Gilliam-like "The City of Lost Children," indulges his taste for dark, bizarre humor and surrealistic sets. And his vision gets the full-throttled boost of Darius Khondji, the brilliant cinematographer behind "Seven" and both Jeunet movies; and visual effects geniuses Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis, who are responsible for the visual wonders in "[[Death Becomes Her]]," "[[Jumanji]]" and "[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]." <br> "In space," went the original "Alien" advertisement in 1979, "no one can hear you scream." But in "Alien Resurrection," that slogan has evolved: In space, no one can hear you laugh. ** Desson Howe, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/alienresurrectionhowe.htm],” 'Alien Resurrection': She Lives”], Washington Post, (November 28, 1997) * Were you intent on making your mark on the Alien franchise? :'''Jeunet''': I tried to include some [[humor]] because I don’t like scary movies – they’re not my cup of tea. It’s a bit of a paradox for Alien and sometimes the American audiences didn’t like that but I couldn’t avoid putting some humour in there. :* Jean-Pierre Jeunet in [https://www.theskinny.co.uk/film/interviews/jean-pierre-jeunet-alien-resurrection-amelie "Jean-Pierre Jeunet: "It was easy to make Amélie""] by Simon Bland, ''The Skinny'', (09 Mar 2016). * What’s still jarring about ''Alien: Resurrection'' is its tone, which departs entirely from the other movies in the series. Perhaps meant as a reaction to the unremitting gloom of Alien 3, Resurrection is shot and acted like a black comedy. Dan Hedaya offers up one of the most scenery chewing performances in any Alien movie as General Perez, and when he’s finally silenced by an alien’s extending inner jaws, he expires with crossed eyes. ** Ryan Lambie, [http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/alien/16565/looking-back-at-jean-pierre-jeunet%E2%80%99s-alien-resurrection "Looking back at Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Res-urrection"], ''Den of Geek'', (Oct 28, 2010). * The result is a brisk action comedy that functions like a sci-fi reworking of ''[[The Poseidon Adventure]]'', as the film’s survivors make their way across the damaged Auriga to the safety of the mercenaries’ ship. There are several set-pieces that are high on visual impact, but low on tension, including an underwater scene with swimming aliens, and sequence involving two characters dangling from a ladder. <br> If it wasn’t an Alien movie, Resurrection could easily be regarded as a piece of light, disposable genre entertainment. Its direction is sure-footed, and Darius (Seven) Khondji’s cinematography produces some occasionally beguiling images. <br> But taken as a fourth chapter in the Alien canon, Resurrection seems horribly out of place, its tone at odds with the other three films. That it’s entirely without shocks is forgivable. Neither ''[[Aliens (film)|aliens]]'' nor ''[[Alien 3]]'' replicated the palpable sense of horror present in the first film, but the lack of tension is a far greater problem. ** Ryan Lambie, [http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/alien/16565/looking-back-at-jean-pierre-jeunet%E2%80%99s-alien-resurrection "Looking back at Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Res-urrection"], ''Den of Geek'', (Oct 28, 2010). * In the beginning, it was supposed to be Dan Hedaya who got sucked out into space. His character, General Martin Perez, was originally set to exit Alien: Resurrection in spectacularly bloody fashion – his entire body ejected, limb by limb, through a tennis ball-sized hole in the space ship, Auriga. <br> Effects company Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc, spent several weeks in 1996 solving the problem of having a body pulled apart realistically by the vacuum of space. Test footage released by ADI shows the painstaking process of researching and testing practical means of creating Hedaya’s death scene, which would have concluded with his character’s screaming head stripped of its skin until only a gaping skull remained. <br> The results were almost comically grotesque and almost mesmerising to watch – so mesmerising, in fact, that Alien: Resurrection director Jean-Pierre Jeunet eventually decided that such a violent demise was more fitting for his movie’s most formidably villain, the Newborn, and not a relatively minor character. And so it was that the process of designing and testing began once again – this time on the practicalities of having a giant alien’s stomach rip open and its guts spill out on the floor before its skull shatters into countless tiny pieces. ** Ryan Lambie, [https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/alien-resurrection-joss-whedons-original-endings/ “Alien: Resurrection – Joss Whedon’s Original Endings”], ''Den of Geek'', (November 26, 2019) * 'I think that at least design-wise there have always been sexual and sensual overtones to the sets,' says Weaver. 'And I've always thought that the Alien is interested in other things than itself. I think it has other, sexual things in mind. But for Aliens: Resurrection, they've cut out a lot of the kinkier stuff, believe it or not. I'd still classify it as sensual, though. Jean-Pierre really understood the relationship Ripley has with the Alien. The French are great. You can't shock them.' Kicking off production in November 1996 and wrapping up last May, Aliens: Resurrection was a gruelling shoot, confesses Weaver. Particularly tough was an extended underwater sequence, in which the pirates and Ripley are pursued through the submerged kitchens by a phalanx of Aliens. The actors had to spend weeks submerged in a tank with no respirators or face masks. <br> 'It was the worst physical experience of my life,' says Ryder. 'You're in a tank that's filthy - the crew is in there for 17 hours a day and there was no coming out to go to the bathroom.' Weaver adds: 'It seemed to go on forever. It actually took a month. And I'm not brave. Ripley's brave. I can say that nothing exists of Sigourney Weaver in that scene at all.' ** SCMP Reporter, [https://www.scmp.com/article/229773/sigourney-back-dead “Sigourney back from the dead”], ''South China Morning Post'', (14 Feb 1997) * Two hundred years after her suicide, Ellen Ripley's cloned by scientists intent on nurturing the alien foetus inside her. The new Ripley couldn't care less - she's dead already - but goes along for the ride when Call (Ryder) and a band of marooned space pirates fight the inevitable rearguard action. In outline, the resilient Alien movies may be little more than slasher movies in space, yet equipped with strong, imaginative directors, each has proved distinctive and surprisingly resonant. Jeunet, the series' supreme fantasist, plunges deep into the nightmarish genetic whirlpool concocted by screenwriter Joss Whedon. After an ominous, memorably ghoulish opening, however, the Frenchman can't disguise a lack of engagement with the action sequences. The laziest stuff is all linear, mechanical business, much of it concerning Ryder, inadequate in a role designed simply to guarantee the teenage male fan-base. With her deep-freeze intensity and sinewy self-sufficiency, Weaver needs no such back-up. Choking as she comes face to face with earlier, aborted clones, grappling with residual maternal feelings towards the monsters she spawned and contempt for the humans she's long since left behind, Ripley Mk II is a terrifyingly ambivalent millennial saviour, more frightening than a score of aliens. ** TCh, [https://www.timeout.com/movies/alien-resurrection “Alien Resurrection”], ''Time Out'', (10 September 2012) * Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley looks pretty frisky for someone who killed herself to save humanity from the demon seed in her belly in Alien3. There is more to Ripley’s rise from the ashes than Weaver’s rise in salary from $33,000 for the first Alien to $11 million for Chapter 4. Credit the script by Joss Whedon (Toy Story) for making a joke of it. To the remark, “I thought you were dead,” Ripley replies, “I get that a lot.” You go, girl. In space, no one can hear you scream, “Hey, stupid, ever heard of DNA?” Ripley gets cloned just like the dinos of [[Jurassic Park]]. Better to ask: Is there life left in a franchise that began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s Alien, expanded to James Cameron’s smash 1986 sequel, Aliens, and shrunk – in grosses, not daring – with David Fincher’s 1992 take on the aliens as an AIDS metaphor? You bet. <br> Alien Resurrection is juiced by the fresh thinking of visionary French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the teaming of Weaver’s Amazonian warrant officer, Ripley, with Winona Ryder’s diminutive space smuggler, Call. In a shit-can universe where human aggression handily beats out alien retaliation for gross-out depravity, these two female warriors can outsmart any freak of nature, be it man or beast. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * Weaver and Ryder have a ball playing yang and yin action figures with a common foe. <br> [[Science]] is that foe, as it is in Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, the provocative French features Jeunet co-directed with Marc Caro. Like the scientist in the latter film who invades the dreams of children, Brad Dourif’s kinky Gediman – he licks the glass that separates him from an alien’s darting tongue – learns the hard way not to mess with Mother Nature. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * Alien Resurrection is sometimes glib and repetitive, but it stays worthy of its predecessors by staying close to its two battered heroines. There is more to understanding the bond between them than Johner’s supposition that “it must be a chick thing.” Ripley and Call are fighting for the same thing that Jeunet achieves in making movies: the chance to dream. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * The fourth film in a series that started with Ridley Scott’s widely appreciated 1979 original, the current “Alien” has devolved into something that’s strictly for hard-core horror junkies who can’t get enough of slime, gore and repulsion. <br> While progress in some areas of civilization is problematic, one thing that continues to go from strength to strength is the ability of special-effects technicians to up the ante for state-of-the-art revulsion. There’s an audience for this kind of stuff, as there was for public executions, and starry-eyed movie executives no doubt stand up and cheer when new levels of disgust are reached and surpassed. ** Kenneth Turan, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-26-ca-57719-story.html “She’s Alive!

His visual style, grandly described in the press kit as “signature chiaroscuro lighting and muted colors,” in practice means that “Alien Resurrection” looks as if it were shot under the sickly fluorescent lighting of a decrepit hospital emergency ward. <br> One reason “Alien Resurrection” places so much emphasis on the stomach-turning is that only so much can be done with these films in terms of plot. In fact Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) neatly summarizes what’s to come when she says of the monster, “She’ll breed, you’ll die, everyone will die.” ** Kenneth Turan, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-26-ca-57719-story.html “She’s Alive!

So, with the release of Alien Resurrection, the fourth chapter in the Ripley saga, audiences should be surprised by changes in the heroine we've come to know like a sister. ** George Tysh, [https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/alien-resurrection/Content?oid=2281307 “Alien Resurrection”], ''Detroit Metro Times'', (November 26, 1997) * Ms. Weaver says it was the reinvention of the Ripley character -- this ''spirit of [[nihilism]],'' as she calls it -- that persuaded her to do a fourth ''Alien'' film after she had all but decided that three were enough. <br> "It seemed a challenge," she says. "You know, we all feel that when things get too difficult we have a way out, that it's finally up to each of us, that we can exit. And I thought, how awful it would be to find yourself in a world where you had exited, with all sincerity, and they had brought you back against your will. I tried to go with that idea as far as I could." ** Sigourney Weaver in [https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/movies/film-sigourney-weaver-eludes-the-image-police.html "Sigourney Weaver Eludes the Image Police"], by William McDonald, ''New York Times'', (1997). * According to Den of Geek, Whedon's first draft of "Alien Resurrection" has the Betty crash-landing in a forest, which becomes the setting for a fight between Ripley, Call, and the skull-faced human-Xenomorph hybrid, the Newborn. Ripley wields a grenade launcher and Call drives a flying harvester with threshing teeth. After that, Whedon rewrote the ending several times, with the final earthbound version shifting to a desert location. As he explained: <br> "The first [version] was in the forest with the flying threshing machine. The second one was in a futuristic junkyard. The third one was in a maternity ward. And the fourth one was in the desert. Now at this point this had become about money, and I said, 'You know, the desert looks like Mars. That's not Earth; that's not going to give people that juice.' But I still wrote them the best ending I could that took place in the desert." <br> Whedon was dead set on an Earth finale because he felt, "The reason people are here is we're going to do the thing we've never done; we're gonna go to Earth." However, the aforementioned budgetary concerns led to the abandonment of this and other ideas in the movie. What's left is a film that the screenwriter was unhappy with and that came in dead last in our ranking of the "Alien" movies. ** Joss Whedon as quoted by Joshua Meyer, [https://www.slashfilm.com/785115/why-joss-whedons-original-endings-for-alien-resurrection-never-made-the-cut/ “Why Joss Whedon's Original Endings For Alien: Resurrection Never Made The Cut”], ''Slashfilm'', (March 2, 2022) * Uh...you know, it wasn’t a question of doing everything differently, although they changed the ending, it was mostly a matter of doing everything wrong. They said the lines...mostly...but they said them all wrong. And they cast it wrong. And they designed it wrong. And they scored it wrong. They did everything wrong that they could possibly do. There’s actually a fascinating lesson in filmmaking, because everything that they did reflects back to the script or looks like something from the script, and people assume that, if I hated it, then they’d changed the script...but it wasn’t so much that they’d changed the script; it’s that they just executed it in such a ghastly fashion as to render it almost unwatchable. ** Joss Whedon interviewed by Will Harris, [http://web.archive.org/web/20061111075942/http://www.bullz-eye.com/mguide/interviews/2005/joss_whedon.htm “Joss for a minute: A brief chat with Joss Whedon”], ''Bullz-eye.com'', (Interview date: 11/29/05 Posted: 12/16/05) === “‘Alien: Resurrection’ Is a Franchise High Point—Fight Me” (November 29, 2017) === <small> Frederick Blichert [https://www.vice.com/en/article/pa377y/alien-resurrection-is-a-franchise-high-pointfight-me “‘Alien: Resurrection’ Is a Franchise High Point—Fight Me”], ''Vice'', (November 29, 2017) </small> [[File:The_Sandow_Trocadero_Vaudevilles,_performing_arts_poster,_1894.jpg|thumb|It turns out Jeunet was Ryder’s idea, and he gives the film an eccentricity that may dull the horror a bit but gives Resurrection a really distinct style.

Call is part of a group of robots who rebelled and won back their freedom. It seems the top-down structure of Weyland-Yutani was so oppressive that even the previously obedient machines couldn’t stand it. And the military’s central computer now has a male voice and is referred to as “Father,” cementing the patriarchal role of those in power, in contrast to all the maternal imagery of Alien and the “Mother” console. <br> Ryder, who didn’t manage to use her 90s “it girl” rep to make Resurrection a hit, is one of the few people who actually remembers the film fondly, and is largely responsible for making it “kind of like a really cool art film,” as she described it in a 2013 interview with the Huffington Post, praising the direction of Jeunet, who was gaining fame for his offbeat French films and would eventually become an international star with Amélie. <br> It turns out Jeunet was Ryder’s idea, and he gives the film an eccentricity that may dull the horror a bit but gives Resurrection a really distinct style. At times, it feels like a vaudevillian theatre troupe putting on an Alien play, and I mean that in the best way. The actors playfully dive deep into their roles, and camp things up for a director who can appreciate the absurdity of it all. * Then there’s Ripley herself, whose transformation has all the hallmarks of a Whedon heroine. Nearly every Whedon project seems to have a woman with special abilities given to her by one shadowy cabal of men or another. Inevitably, she rebels and takes back her autonomy with force. This happened with Buffy, it happens with River in Serenity, and it happens with Echo in his later series Dollhouse. Ripley’s rampage in Resurrection is textbook Whedon patriarchy smashing, but it’s also a fitting conclusion to her relationship with Weyland-Yutani. <br> The company is replaced by a galactic military, but it’s all part of the same consolidation of power. The aliens represent the line corporations, governments, and armies (are these three even distinct?) are willing to cross to achieve their own ends, so Ripley’s resistance is always essentially pitted against the same thing. In Resurrection, they accidentally empower her through the very process that was meant to use her up. By reducing her to the level of meat to be experimented on, she and the xenomorphs literally become one. Everything and everyone is just a plaything for those in power. <br> In one of the film’s most cathartic (and disturbing) scenes, Ripley torches a lab full of failed Ripley clones, one of which painfully begs her for death. One of Ripley’s new crewmates, played by the always scene-stealing Ron Perlman, doesn’t get why she’s so angry as to be wasting ammo. He chalks it up to being “a chick thing,” which is a fitting final note. The control over human bodies has always had gendered undertones in the Alien films. Ripley is a woman whose physical autonomy is always under threat, either from the aliens or from her patriarchal corporate overlords. Here, she takes back control more divisively than ever before. === "Alien Resurrection” (November 26, 1997) === <small> [[Roger Ebert]], [https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/alien-resurrection-1997 "Alien Resurrection"], (November 26, 1997). </small> [[File:Perpetual_Motion_by_Norman_Rockwell.jpg|thumb|Mankind wants them for their genes?

Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is still the heroine, even though 200 years have passed since "Alien3." She has been cloned out of a drop of her own blood, and is being used as a broodmare: The movie opens with surgeons removing a baby alien from her womb. How the baby got in there is not fully explained, for which we should perhaps be grateful. * The birth takes place on a vast space ship. The interstellar human government hopes to breed more aliens, and use them for--oh, developing vaccines, medicines, a gene pool, stuff like that. The aliens have a remarkable body chemistry. Ripley's genes are all-right, too: They allow her reconstituted form to retain all of her old memories, as if cookie dough could remember what a gingerbread man looked like. <br> Ripley is first on a giant government science ship, then on a tramp freighter run by a vagabond crew. The monsters are at first held inside glass cells, but of course they escape (their blood is a powerful solvent that can eat through the decks of the ship). The movie's a little vague about Ripley: Is she all human, or does she have a little alien mixed in? For a while we wonder which side she's on. She laughs at mankind's hopes of exploiting the creatures: "She's a queen," she says of the new monster. "She'll breed. You'll die." When the tramp freighter comes into play, we get a fresh crew, including Call (Winona Ryder), who has been flown all the way from Earth to provide appeal for the younger members of the audience. Ryder is a wonderful actress, one of the most gifted of her generation, but wrong for this movie. She lacks the heft and presence to stand alongside Ripley and the grizzled old space dogs played by Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon, Dan Hedeya and Brad Dourif. She seems uncertain of her purpose in the movie, her speeches lack conviction, and when her secret is revealed, it raises more questions than it answers. Ryder pales in comparison with Jenette Goldstein, the muscular Marine who was the female sidekick in "Aliens." Weaver, on the other hand, is splendid: Strong, weary, resourceful, grim. I would gladly see a fifth "Alien" movie if they created something for her to do, and dialog beyond the terse sound bites that play well in commercials. Ripley has some good scenes. She plays basketball with a crew man (Perlman) and slams him around. When she bleeds, her blood fizzes interestingly on the floor--as if it's not quite human. She can smell an alien presence. And be smelled: Her baby recognizes her mother and sticks out a tongue to lick her. * Mankind wants them for their genes? I can think of a more valuable attribute: They're apparently able to generate biomass out of thin air. The baby born at the beginning of the film weighs maybe five pounds. In a few weeks the ship's cargo includes generous tons of aliens. What do they feed on? How do they fuel their growth and reproduction?

They're like [[w:perpetual motion|perpetual motion]] machines; they don't need input. * The "[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]" movies always have expert production design. "Alien Resurrection" was directed by the French visionary Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("City of Lost Children"), who with his designers has placed it in what looks like a large, empty hangar filled with prefabricated steel warehouse parts. There is not a single shot in the movie to fill one with wonder--nothing like the abandoned planetary station in "Aliens." Even the standard shots of vast spaceships, moving against a backdrop of stars, are murky here, and perfunctory. === “The Biggest Mistakes Alien Resurrection Made (& How It Could Improve)” (Nov 27, 2020) === <small> Cathal Gunning, [https://screenrant.com/alien-resurrection-movie-biggest-mistakes-changes-fix-explained/ “The Biggest Mistakes Alien Resurrection Made (& How It Could Improve)”], ''Screen Rant'', (Nov 27, 2020) </small> [[File:Chickenvane.jpg|thumb|Alien Resurrection’s lush visual [[w:Palette|palette]] is an immediately striking and evocative change of pace for the series.

To be fair, Alien Resurrection made use of its large budget by creating a new, distinct Gothic-influenced green-tinged color palette for this installment.

When a movie makes Tank Girl look less than garish, it’s cause for concern.]] * There were plenty of problems that plagued the production of Alien Resurrection, but despite the movie’s convoluted set-up and knotty plot, its creation was not quite as strained as its predecessor Alien 3. Future Amelie director Jeunet thought that the franchise ended with Alien 3 and, like producer Walter Hill, he was skeptical about continuing the story, but the movie’s large budget tempted him to take on the job. The helmer hired visual effects specialist and future Catwoman director Pitof to work with him, which could, in retrospect, be read as an early indication that things were taking a bad turn. But the problems didn’t become clear until the movie’s secret weapon—the newborn Alien—was unveiled. <br> Like the Predalien in the later (underrated) Alien Vs Predator spin-off series, the Newborn Alien was intended to be a huge draw for Alien Resurrection, as the movie would be unveiling a new hybrid form of the title monster with a previously unseen creature design. The Alien Queen of James Cameron’s Aliens was one of the sequel’s best-loved additions to the franchise, so expectations were high. The Newborn Alien did not live up to them. Slimy, gangly, and hilariously human, the newborn was a laughable, giant-headed mess of overlong limbs and pot-bellied oddness. Originally intended to have human genitalia until the studio balked and Jeunet admitted that “even for a Frenchman it’s a bit much”, the Newborn was, nonetheless, a disaster even without its private parts appearing in the finished movie. An earlier design would have seen the creators model the monster’s appearance on Weaver herself, but this was abandoned for fear of resembling [[w:Species (film)|Species]]’ Sil. It’s a shame, as anything would have been an improvement on the prune-faced ghoul viewers were eventually left with. * [A]t least part of Alien Resurrection’s failure to win over even existing fans of the franchise can be attributed to the movie’s failure to nail down a definite, specific tone. The movie is too quippy and action-oriented (thanks to screenwriter Joss Whedon’s contributions) to be as authentically scary as Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed original movie. 1979’s Alien was pitched as a “haunted house movie in space” for good reason, as it begins dark and only grows more brutal throughout its duration. James Cameron’s sequel Aliens, meanwhile, is a less grim affair, with the cast well-armed and better prepared to take on the titular threat. In contrast, in Alien Resurrection, the characters never seem to be in mortal peril; they’re toughened mercenaries and scientists developing bio-weapons, neither of whom seem ill-equipped to take on a threat. * Speaking of the movie’s darkness, Alien Resurrection’s lush visual palette is an immediately striking and evocative change of pace for the series. Each movie in the franchise had a unique visual style, whether it’s the burnt-orange and metallic grey post-apocalyptic look of Alien 3, the sleek steely blues of Aliens, or the grimy, black-green fetid darkness of the first installment.

But ''Alien Resurrection,'' the fourth installment and the one that comes closest to suggesting there may be rain-slicked dark alleys in space, also offers the most buff and sexily insolent incarnation of the aliens' favorite antagonist, Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. And this time it's personal: much of Ripley's new swagger comes from the fact that she now apparently has alien blood, or slime, or ooze, or whatever it is, coursing through her veins. * We know most of the aliens' tricks by now, even if ''Alien Resurrection'' gives them the chance to chase human prey through garbage-strewn waters and swish their tails like marauding raptors. They still invade human hosts and burst out horribly at inconvenient moments; they still enjoy some of the most stomach-turning breeding habits imaginable. The new wrinkle this time is that neo-Ripley finds herself strangely sympatico with these creatures, even to the point of experiencing maternal stirrings late in the story. A new queen alien has appropriated some of Ripley's re-productive system and can now produce live, skeletal, screeching, glop-covered offspring. Maybe that tells you more than you want to know. * As directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, half of the duo behind ''Delicatessen'' and ''City of Lost Children,'' ''Alien Resurrection'' has an eerie grunge look (with cinematography by the inventive Da-rius Khondji) and a sometimes ghastly sideshow atmosphere. The characters this time, with a cast including Dan Hedaya, Brad Dourif and Ron Perlman, tend to be surly miscreants, and the story has more kinks. Winona Ryder wears Army boots as a crew member of the Betty, a small ship that docks with the Auriga to engage in illicit business and stays long enough to fight the evil beasts. Tauntingly flirtatious scenes between Ms. Ryder and Ms. Weaver give this film a sexual boldness that the others' action-adventure spirit lacked. <br> Fierce, beautiful and sardonic, Ms. Weaver makes an impressive linchpin for this series, even if she can't make it palatable for the faint of heart. When Mr. Jeunet's well-established taste for the grotesque yields an episode worthy of a circus sideshow, with hideously malformed creatures floating in glass containers and a grisly secret about Ripley's past ready to emerge, not even Ms. Weaver and her flamethrower can triumph over the sequence's extreme nastiness. === “`Alien' All Guts, No Glory / Sequel looks great, if gory, but doesn't have much brains” (Nov. 26, 1997) === <small> Peter Stack, [https://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/Alien-All-Guts-No-Glory-Sequel-looks-great-2793420.php “`Alien' All Guts, No Glory / Sequel looks great, if gory, but doesn't have much brains”], ''SF Gate'', (Nov. 26, 1997) </small> [[File:Alien_Resurrection_03.jpg|thumb|Jeunet blended darkness, heavy metal, repugnantly weird things in specimen vials, an underwater sequence, a feeling of paranoia and an almost determined lack of humanity.

The cluttered, surreal, claustrophobic sets and gooey alien creatures look intriguing, sometimes shocking. But the story tries so hard to be imaginative that it congeals and sinks like lead. <br> This film should be an amazing thrill ride, but it has the emotional impact of a bowling ball at rest. The scene that gets the biggest response is one showing just how hairy actor Dan Hedaya is (he plays a spaceship captain), and he's not even an alien. No doubt the intensely violent production, opening today in time to gross out Thanksgiving holiday moviegoers, will do stratospheric box-office business. But staying power is another question. * As almost always with sequels, the "Alien" spawn have gotten dopier as they've gone along. Yet each has had the saving grace of a distinctive look. "Alien Resurrection" is easily the most visually interesting of all. Credit it to French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who imported his surrealistic, horrific ideas direct from "[[Delicatessen]]" and the superb "[[The City of Lost Children]]." <br> Jeunet blended darkness, heavy metal, repugnantly weird things in specimen vials, an underwater sequence, a feeling of paranoia and an almost determined lack of humanity. And he also brought two of his favorite actors: big Ron Perlman to be a jackbooted bad guy, and Dominique Pinon to get a few laughs as a pipsqueak. <br> Winona Ryder is the biggest new attraction in the series. Her character, Call, is the only soft, humane creature within several light-years of the -- sprawling spaceship Auriga, where the action takes place. Eventually it is revealed that 12 hissing, hungry aliens, products of evil biology experiments, are headed toward Earth. <br> Ryder, arriving with a crew of smugglers, looks almost too doll- like to be hanging around the tough, cynical or maniacal types that populate the film's cavernous, clanking world. But her big button black eyes and that intense focus she has at just the right dramatic moment wind up providing the only dollop of humanity. And it's much needed. * Sigourney Weaver, in this fourth in the "Alien" series, returns as Ripley, the tough heroine who has been dallying with the toothed aliens since 1979. <br> Weaver has weathered the experience much better than the films have. She's lithe and sexy in that no-nonsense action-hero way. About that much-discussed backward basketball shot she makes -- Weaver looks like the type who could pull it off. * Meanness is big in "Alien Resurrection." It's hard to remember a more coarse, obscenely violent movie. The "fun" starts right away with open-chest surgery shown in up-close, disgustingly graphic detail (with Brad Dourif as an icky doctor). The scene is the birth of a baby alien from under Ripley's ribs. Whoever said that surgery was the next pornography was right. <br> In the course of the film, viewers get treated to aliens feeding on guts, brains and heads, all shown in splatter-movie fashion. And there are constant references to predatory sex acts. That popular '90s phrase "viewer discretion advised" is definitely applicable. === "All Things 'Alien'" (November 9, 1997) === <small> Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder in [http://articles.latimes.com/1997/nov/09/entertainment/ca-51876 "All Things 'Alien'"] by John Clark, ''L.A.

In stark contrast to David Fincher's experiences on Alien 3, Jeunet was given free rein to do whatever he wanted (within the $70m budget; the biggest of any of the Alien films), and while he kept most of Whedon's script intact, Jeunet's weird humour is all over Alien: Resurrection.– * If Alien was sinewy like a xenomorph and Aliens was pumped-up like the Alien Queen, Alien: Resurrection is as grotesque and mesmerising as the newborn. Whedon may have hated it, but he's hardly the first writer to disown his work. (Besides, he went on to make Firefly, which features just about the exact same set of characters - Johner is now Jayne, with Reavers standing in for xenos and so forth). <br>"It's kind of like a really cool art film," Winona Ryder recently surmised of Alien: Resurrection, and she's right. Like art, it's unapologetic and singular in its vision, and it's a shame that the enticing open ending never developed into an immediate sequel. It's also odd that Marvel man Whedon isn't a fan - while the previous Alien films were all sci-fi horrors, there's something distinctly comic-booky about Alien: Resurrection. Perhaps it was just a little ahead of its time. === “Serenity Now!” (August/September 2005) === [[File:Earth night.jpg|thumb|In the case of “Alien: Resurrection,” they decided to spend their money in other places than going to Earth. And I just kept saying, “The reason people are here is we’re going to do the thing we’ve never done; we’re gonna go to Earth."]] <small> Joss Whedon interviewed by Jim Kozak [http://web.archive.org/web/20110615162238/http://www.natoonline.org/infocus/05augustseptember/whedonuncut.htm “Serenity Now!”] In Focus, (August/September 2005) </small> *'''Kozak''': I thought your original screenplay for “Alien: Resurrection” was brilliant – with its epic final battle on Earth, for Earth – and vastly more engrossing than what ultimately made its way to the screen. I have to assume there were budgetary issues, because I can’t imagine another reason anyone would tinker with it. :'''Whedon''': Well, let me ask you something. This ending that took place on Earth. What happened in it? Where did it take place? :'''Kozak''': It took place in a forest … :'''Whedon''': Yes. Oh wow. That’s the first one. There were five. And it was always either “the director had a vision” or they had a budget issue. And as a script doctor I’ve been called in more than a few times, and the issue is always the same: “We want you to make the third act more exciting and cheaper.” And my response inevitably is, “The problem with the third act is the first two acts.” This response is never listened to. I usually walk away having gotten one or two jokes into a script and made some money and feeling like I am just bereft of life. It’s horrible. The exceptions were “[[Toy Story]]” and “[[Speed (film)|Speed]],” where they actually let me do something. <br> In the case of “Alien: Resurrection,” they decided to spend their money in other places than going to Earth. And I just kept saying, “The reason people are here is we’re going to do the thing we’ve never done; we’re gonna go to Earth.” But there were a lot of things that we hadn’t done that we ended up not doing because of a singular lack of vision. <br> But rather than go into all of the reasons why “Alien: Resurrection” is disappointing to me, I will tell you that, yes, I wrote five endings. The first one was in the forest with the flying threshing machine. The second one was in a futuristic junkyard. The third one was in a maternity ward. <br> And the fourth one was in the desert. Now at this point this had become about money, and I said, “You know, the desert looks like Mars. That’s not Earth; that’s not going to give people that juice.” But I still wrote them the best ending I could that took place in the desert. And then finally they said, “Y’knowww, we just don’t think we need to go to Earth.” So I just gave them dialogue and stuff, but I don’t remember writing, “A withered, granny-lookin’ Pumkinhead-kinda-thing makes out with Ripley.” Pretty sure that stage direction never existed in any of my drafts. *'''Whedon''': The history of “Alien: Resurrection” is fairly twisted also because I wrote a 30-page treatment for a different movie. They wanted to do a movie with a clone of Newt [the little girl from “Aliens”] as their heroine. Because I’d done some action movies and I’d done “Buffy,” they said, “Well, he can write teenage girls and he can write action, so let’s give him a shot.” The franchise was pretty much dead, and I wrote the treatment and they said, “This is really exciting. We want to get back in this business. But we want Ripley. So throw this out.” That one was probably my favorite; I think it was a better-structured story than the one I ultimately wrote. == Cast == * [[Sigourney Weaver]] ~ Ellen Ripley Clone 8 * [[w:Winona Ryder|Winona Ryder]] ~ Annalee Call * [[w:Ron Perlman|Ron Perlman]] ~ Johner * [[w:Dan Hedaya|Dan Hedaya]] ~ General Martin Perez * [[w:J.E.

The only thing that matters for the characters in Jeunet's film is acquiring power over others. Set on a military research station, it's about a group of scientists who undo Ripley's death by cloning her so that they can extract the alien inside her. Their experiments include impregnating human test subjects with the creature, a singularly unhealthy procedure for the hapless civilians conscripted for that purpose. The scientists and their military taskmasters care about only one thing: having the alien's power. They speak about its beauty. Its purity. <br> Ironically, the only character who has a sense of human decency and compassion is an android (Winona Ryder). ** Tirdad Derakhshani, [https://www.inquirer.com/philly/entertainment/20120605__lsquo_Prometheus_rsquo__bound__Why_we_are_haunted_by_the_horror_of__lsquo_Alien_rsquo_.html Why we are haunted by the world of “Alien”], ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', (June 5, 2012) * To be blunt, the "Alien" movie franchise should have died along with its lead character, Lt. Ellen Ripley, in 1992's "Alien3." <br> Instead, greed has struck again, as producers have drafted a hip director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, of "Delicatessen" fame) and an even hipper writer (Joss Whedon, creator of TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") in hopes of reviving the film series. <br> But neither man has come up with anything particularly original and instead fall prey to dumb horror conventions with this splattery sequel, which actually gives "[[Starship Troopers]]" a run for its money in the gore department. ** [https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Whedon, whose "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]" TV scripts and whose dialogue for "[[Toy Story]]" evidenced some keen wit, shows none of it here, save for a couple of funny one-liners. <br> His characterizations are similarly stilted. None of the heroes is sympathetic, which makes it hard to care whether they survive the inevitable attacks (Ron Perlman, as a chauvinistic space pirate, is particularly irritating). **[https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Jeunet — who is without his collaborator, French comic book artist Marc Caro — seems intent on conveying a weird, creepy atmosphere, but fails to keep the action moving, and he photographs things at perspectives that make it hard to see what's going on. <br> And without a strong director, the actors are all over the place. Dan Hedaya plays things for camp as the station commander, while Weaver is even colder here than she is in "The Ice Storm." ** [https://www.deseret.com/1997/11/26/20087012/film-review-alien-resurrection “Film review: Alien Resurrection”], ''Deseret News'', (Nov 26, 1997) * Of course in the latest chapter it's not the same old Ripley who reappears. The resurrection in the title refers to the cloning by which she is involuntarily brought back to life 200 years (or 4 years in Hollywood time) after she hurled herself into an inferno in ''Alien 3'' rather than let a ferocious monster gestating inside her live. The twist is that the reconstituted Ripley has strands of the alien species woven into her DNA, enhancing her powers and infusing her with a dark, sardonic ambivalence about clashing again with probably the slimiest monsters Hollywood ever devised, now vaguely her kin. <br> Ms. Weaver says it was the reinvention of the Ripley character -- this ''spirit of [[nihilism]],'' as she calls it -- that persuaded her to do a fourth ''Alien'' film after she had all but decided that three were enough. ** William McDonald, [https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/movies/film-sigourney-weaver-eludes-the-image-police.html "Sigourney Weaver Eludes the Image Police"], ''New York Times'', (1997). * Tiptoeing into weird Freudian areas and moments of grotesquerie new even to this series, "Alien Resurrection," the fourth entry in Fox's almost 20-year-old franchise, is a generally cold, though sometimes wildly imaginative and surprisingly jokey, $70 million scarefest that may prove too mixed a meal to scare up monstrous business among mass auds. French helmer Jean-Pierre Jeunet — the more directorial half of the duo behind “[[w:Delicatessen(film)|Delicatessen]]” and “[[The City of Lost Children]]” — has breathed new life into the series on several fronts, and proves no slouch in delivering the action set pieces. But the movie is held back by a lack of emotional engagement at its center and a pottage of half-assimilated, European-flavored quirks. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * As a series of action set pieces, the movie is frequently gripping and always highly watchable. In one extended section — geographically reminiscent of “[[The Poseidon Adventure]]” with its underwater swim and vertical climb — there’s a real sense of claustrophobia as the beasties pursue their human lunch underwater, and the “[[Goldfinger (film)|Goldfinger]]”-like demise of the final alien is a typically imaginative tour de force. <br> Editing by Jeunet regular Herve Schneid is especially tight (pic is the shortest of the quartet). Darius Khondji’s lensing, aided by the silver-added ENR printing process, emphasizes deep blacks and soft ochers, with flashes of electric blue supplying visual relief. Nigel Phelps’ production design crosses geometrical sets and clangy brute iron with the Victorian-industrialized look of Jeunet’s own “Lost Children.” Whedon’s script injects some of the rough, testosterone humor of “Aliens” into a story that tries to build on the cross-species subtext of “Alien3.” <br> However, when the movie strays into weirder territory — where, one feels, Jeunet’s heart really lies — there’s a growing feeling of inadequacy. Pic’s interest in Ripley’s split, half-human personality and her maternal bond with the Queen leads to some of the most intriguing — and cheesiest — stuff in the picture, but overall come off more as exotic inserts than fully assimilated sequences. Upside moments include the discovery of a horrific lab (straight out of “Lost Children”) and Ripley’s late-on “embrace” of her fearsome offspring; downside is a laughable Newborn that all but blows the pic’s finale. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * It’s almost as if the pic is afraid to enter the darkened rooms whose doors it keeps opening, though if it had, a truly original movie could have resulted. As it is, the finished film shows many signs of creative push and pull — Whedon’s original script was extensively changed during production — from unexplained ellipses in the plot’s early stages, through dialogue that is surprisingly jokey and unelevated (considering the themes at play), to a storyline that seems unwilling to stray far from the action. <br> In addition, the key relationship in the picture, between femmes Ripley and Call, has little chance to realize its potential and provide a badly needed emotional hook for the audience. In every respect, this is a cold movie that, even at the very end, fails to provide the sense of emotional release that the others in the series all managed to deliver. ** Derek Elley, [https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/alien-resurrection-111732354/ “Alien Resurrection”], ''Variety'', (Dec 4, 1997) * Weaver, admittedly, is excellent in the latest Alien outing and remains probably the only credible female action lead. The film also puts an interesting twist on the steely bonds of motherhood and makes some rather obvious comments about the perils of genetic engineering (when will those dratted mad scientist types ever learn?). But about half-way through a film I desperately wanted to like, I found I had become bored. And that is the one crime against film-making I can-not forgive. <br> Here we were, once again, on a gloomy spaceship, with a rag-tag band of stock characters being picked off one by one by creatures that once were terrifying but now are mere caricatures. There are only so many times you can be scared by grasping claws dragging people through metal-grille floors, those tell-tale patches of slime (gasp, an alien was here!), those snapping, ratchet choppers embedding themselves in yet more flesh. How often are we supposed to cheer as the heroes narrowly escape, or the chief nasty gets sucked into the void? For most of the film, I was more scared of the sheer size of Sigourney (I'd give her a 9.5 on the buff-o-meter, compared to, say, a measly six or seven for Demi Moore in GI Jane) than her multi-toothed nemeses. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * From the instant those green-tinged posters were plastered about the winding corridors of MTR stations announcing the fourth instalment in the Alien series, each sighting sparked a flutter of excitement in my gut. Ever since those unforgettable scenes in the original film - the spidery creature erupting from the egg to force its deadly spore down an unsuspecting throat; the baby alien bursting through its victim's ribcage and scurrying slimily away with a malevolent shriek - I was hooked. <br> It was an irresistible combination of suspense, space - where no one can hear you scream - and artist H.R. Geiger's twisted vision of a monster which combined phallic imagery, insect savagery and a concept from the wilder shores of Freud's psychological armoury, vagina dentata (a deep-seated fear of female sexual organs armed with razor-sharp fangs). <br> The anticipation of Alien Resurrection, however, proved to be more thrilling than the event. Granted, we live in an age of cinematic cynicism, ruled by the multiplex and the multiple sequel. And I admit to having done my bit to contribute. If they keep churning them out until an 80-year-old Sigourney Weaver is blasting away at goo-oozing arthropods in Aliens 15, or a geriatric Mel Gibson is dislocating his shoulder in Lethal Weapon 22, I'll probably still be forking over my money to watch. Because art (and sequels) mirror life; occasional epiphanies, followed by frequent and generally doomed attempts to recapture them. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * The sheer contempt bred by familiarity has reduced what was, in its original incarnation, an intelligent, ground-breaking and thought-provoking film to a James Bond-style franchise. You pay your money and you know what you'll get and how you'll feel. Alienated. ** Jason Gagliardi, [https://www.scmp.com/article/232579/theres-nothing-worse-alien-resurrection “There's nothing worse than ... an alien resurrection”], ''South China Morning Post'', (8 Mar, 1998) * The much-maligned last part in the Alien quadrilogy should be approached as the comic-book actioner that it is (only Slate’s David Edelstein seemed to recognize the film’s ridiculous allure at the time of its release). Jean-Pierre Jeunet was brought on board by the suits at Fox to give Alien: Resurrection the look and feel of his overrated The City of Lost Children. That he did, but with a lot more laughs. Two-hundred years after Fincher’s Alien³, some company has resuscitated Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as a human/alien hybrid that combines the best and worst attributes of the old model. The new and not-so-improved Ripley has the same touching mother instinct and sex drive of her predecessor, but she’s also considerably more jaded. Weaver gets to deliver one humdinger after another, evoking Tallulah Bankhead in a sci-fi version of [[Lifeboat (film)|Lifeboat]] when she wails, “Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?” Not much has been written about the similarities between the film and Romero’s [[Day of the Dead]], but they’re impossible to ignore: the nature/nurture debate (Ripley versus the docile zombie Bud) and the ego of a military operation under attack. Of course, Alien: Resurrection is nowhere near as sophisticated and profound as Romero’s classic, but it’s still every bit as fun. As General Perez, Dan Hedaya spearheads a human retreat from the film’s military compound that’s remarkably orchestrated and ends with his goofy demise. If the film doesn’t bullshit around, the same can’t be said about Winona Ryder. As a closeted robot sent to destroy Ripley, the perpetually constipated actress declares at one point: “I can’t make critical mass.” How touching. ** Ed Gonzalez, [https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/alien-resurrection/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Slant'', (December 15, 2003) * It's no secret, but if you've never seen the end of Alien³, look away now because here comes the spoiler - Ripley dies at the end of it. You can almost see her muttering "Thank God" under her breath as she falls back into a molten lead sea. But! Using her DNA, she's cloned and brought back to life, now with some rather scary alien attributes. Stick her in a ship full of aliens and off we run once again. ** Almar Haflidason, [https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2003/12/08/alien_resurrecton_1997_dvd_review.shtml “Alien: Resurrection DVD (1997)”], ''BBC'', (12/08/2003) * As Hollywood movies go, it's a reasonably involving divertissement about genetics and Philip K. Dick-borrowed themes exploring what it means to be human. It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business. <br> Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who co-directed the otherworldly "Delicatessen" and the Terry Gilliam-like "The City of Lost Children," indulges his taste for dark, bizarre humor and surrealistic sets. And his vision gets the full-throttled boost of Darius Khondji, the brilliant cinematographer behind "Seven" and both Jeunet movies; and visual effects geniuses Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis, who are responsible for the visual wonders in "[[Death Becomes Her]]," "[[Jumanji]]" and "[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]." <br> "In space," went the original "Alien" advertisement in 1979, "no one can hear you scream." But in "Alien Resurrection," that slogan has evolved: In space, no one can hear you laugh. ** Desson Howe, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/alienresurrectionhowe.htm],” 'Alien Resurrection': She Lives”], Washington Post, (November 28, 1997) * Were you intent on making your mark on the Alien franchise? :'''Jeunet''': I tried to include some [[humor]] because I don’t like scary movies – they’re not my cup of tea. It’s a bit of a paradox for Alien and sometimes the American audiences didn’t like that but I couldn’t avoid putting some humour in there. :* Jean-Pierre Jeunet in [https://www.theskinny.co.uk/film/interviews/jean-pierre-jeunet-alien-resurrection-amelie "Jean-Pierre Jeunet: "It was easy to make Amélie""] by Simon Bland, ''The Skinny'', (09 Mar 2016). * What’s still jarring about ''Alien: Resurrection'' is its tone, which departs entirely from the other movies in the series. Perhaps meant as a reaction to the unremitting gloom of Alien 3, Resurrection is shot and acted like a black comedy. Dan Hedaya offers up one of the most scenery chewing performances in any Alien movie as General Perez, and when he’s finally silenced by an alien’s extending inner jaws, he expires with crossed eyes. ** Ryan Lambie, [http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/alien/16565/looking-back-at-jean-pierre-jeunet%E2%80%99s-alien-resurrection "Looking back at Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Res-urrection"], ''Den of Geek'', (Oct 28, 2010). * The result is a brisk action comedy that functions like a sci-fi reworking of ''[[The Poseidon Adventure]]'', as the film’s survivors make their way across the damaged Auriga to the safety of the mercenaries’ ship. There are several set-pieces that are high on visual impact, but low on tension, including an underwater scene with swimming aliens, and sequence involving two characters dangling from a ladder. <br> If it wasn’t an Alien movie, Resurrection could easily be regarded as a piece of light, disposable genre entertainment. Its direction is sure-footed, and Darius (Seven) Khondji’s cinematography produces some occasionally beguiling images. <br> But taken as a fourth chapter in the Alien canon, Resurrection seems horribly out of place, its tone at odds with the other three films. That it’s entirely without shocks is forgivable. Neither ''[[Aliens (film)|aliens]]'' nor ''[[Alien 3]]'' replicated the palpable sense of horror present in the first film, but the lack of tension is a far greater problem. ** Ryan Lambie, [http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/alien/16565/looking-back-at-jean-pierre-jeunet%E2%80%99s-alien-resurrection "Looking back at Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Res-urrection"], ''Den of Geek'', (Oct 28, 2010). * In the beginning, it was supposed to be Dan Hedaya who got sucked out into space. His character, General Martin Perez, was originally set to exit Alien: Resurrection in spectacularly bloody fashion – his entire body ejected, limb by limb, through a tennis ball-sized hole in the space ship, Auriga. <br> Effects company Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc, spent several weeks in 1996 solving the problem of having a body pulled apart realistically by the vacuum of space. Test footage released by ADI shows the painstaking process of researching and testing practical means of creating Hedaya’s death scene, which would have concluded with his character’s screaming head stripped of its skin until only a gaping skull remained. <br> The results were almost comically grotesque and almost mesmerising to watch – so mesmerising, in fact, that Alien: Resurrection director Jean-Pierre Jeunet eventually decided that such a violent demise was more fitting for his movie’s most formidably villain, the Newborn, and not a relatively minor character. And so it was that the process of designing and testing began once again – this time on the practicalities of having a giant alien’s stomach rip open and its guts spill out on the floor before its skull shatters into countless tiny pieces. ** Ryan Lambie, [https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/alien-resurrection-joss-whedons-original-endings/ “Alien: Resurrection – Joss Whedon’s Original Endings”], ''Den of Geek'', (November 26, 2019) * 'I think that at least design-wise there have always been sexual and sensual overtones to the sets,' says Weaver. 'And I've always thought that the Alien is interested in other things than itself. I think it has other, sexual things in mind. But for Aliens: Resurrection, they've cut out a lot of the kinkier stuff, believe it or not. I'd still classify it as sensual, though. Jean-Pierre really understood the relationship Ripley has with the Alien. The French are great. You can't shock them.' Kicking off production in November 1996 and wrapping up last May, Aliens: Resurrection was a gruelling shoot, confesses Weaver. Particularly tough was an extended underwater sequence, in which the pirates and Ripley are pursued through the submerged kitchens by a phalanx of Aliens. The actors had to spend weeks submerged in a tank with no respirators or face masks. <br> 'It was the worst physical experience of my life,' says Ryder. 'You're in a tank that's filthy - the crew is in there for 17 hours a day and there was no coming out to go to the bathroom.' Weaver adds: 'It seemed to go on forever. It actually took a month. And I'm not brave. Ripley's brave. I can say that nothing exists of Sigourney Weaver in that scene at all.' ** SCMP Reporter, [https://www.scmp.com/article/229773/sigourney-back-dead “Sigourney back from the dead”], ''South China Morning Post'', (14 Feb 1997) * Two hundred years after her suicide, Ellen Ripley's cloned by scientists intent on nurturing the alien foetus inside her. The new Ripley couldn't care less - she's dead already - but goes along for the ride when Call (Ryder) and a band of marooned space pirates fight the inevitable rearguard action. In outline, the resilient Alien movies may be little more than slasher movies in space, yet equipped with strong, imaginative directors, each has proved distinctive and surprisingly resonant. Jeunet, the series' supreme fantasist, plunges deep into the nightmarish genetic whirlpool concocted by screenwriter Joss Whedon. After an ominous, memorably ghoulish opening, however, the Frenchman can't disguise a lack of engagement with the action sequences. The laziest stuff is all linear, mechanical business, much of it concerning Ryder, inadequate in a role designed simply to guarantee the teenage male fan-base. With her deep-freeze intensity and sinewy self-sufficiency, Weaver needs no such back-up. Choking as she comes face to face with earlier, aborted clones, grappling with residual maternal feelings towards the monsters she spawned and contempt for the humans she's long since left behind, Ripley Mk II is a terrifyingly ambivalent millennial saviour, more frightening than a score of aliens. ** TCh, [https://www.timeout.com/movies/alien-resurrection “Alien Resurrection”], ''Time Out'', (10 September 2012) * Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley looks pretty frisky for someone who killed herself to save humanity from the demon seed in her belly in Alien3. There is more to Ripley’s rise from the ashes than Weaver’s rise in salary from $33,000 for the first Alien to $11 million for Chapter 4. Credit the script by Joss Whedon (Toy Story) for making a joke of it. To the remark, “I thought you were dead,” Ripley replies, “I get that a lot.” You go, girl. In space, no one can hear you scream, “Hey, stupid, ever heard of DNA?” Ripley gets cloned just like the dinos of [[Jurassic Park]]. Better to ask: Is there life left in a franchise that began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s Alien, expanded to James Cameron’s smash 1986 sequel, Aliens, and shrunk – in grosses, not daring – with David Fincher’s 1992 take on the aliens as an AIDS metaphor? You bet. <br> Alien Resurrection is juiced by the fresh thinking of visionary French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the teaming of Weaver’s Amazonian warrant officer, Ripley, with Winona Ryder’s diminutive space smuggler, Call. In a shit-can universe where human aggression handily beats out alien retaliation for gross-out depravity, these two female warriors can outsmart any freak of nature, be it man or beast. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * Weaver and Ryder have a ball playing yang and yin action figures with a common foe. <br> [[Science]] is that foe, as it is in Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, the provocative French features Jeunet co-directed with Marc Caro. Like the scientist in the latter film who invades the dreams of children, Brad Dourif’s kinky Gediman – he licks the glass that separates him from an alien’s darting tongue – learns the hard way not to mess with Mother Nature. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * Alien Resurrection is sometimes glib and repetitive, but it stays worthy of its predecessors by staying close to its two battered heroines. There is more to understanding the bond between them than Johner’s supposition that “it must be a chick thing.” Ripley and Call are fighting for the same thing that Jeunet achieves in making movies: the chance to dream. ** Peter Travers, [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/alien-resurrection-247893/ “Alien: Resurrection”], ''Rolling Stone'', (November 26, 1997) * The fourth film in a series that started with Ridley Scott’s widely appreciated 1979 original, the current “Alien” has devolved into something that’s strictly for hard-core horror junkies who can’t get enough of slime, gore and repulsion. <br> While progress in some areas of civilization is problematic, one thing that continues to go from strength to strength is the ability of special-effects technicians to up the ante for state-of-the-art revulsion. There’s an audience for this kind of stuff, as there was for public executions, and starry-eyed movie executives no doubt stand up and cheer when new levels of disgust are reached and surpassed. ** Kenneth Turan, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-26-ca-57719-story.html “She’s Alive!

His visual style, grandly described in the press kit as “signature chiaroscuro lighting and muted colors,” in practice means that “Alien Resurrection” looks as if it were shot under the sickly fluorescent lighting of a decrepit hospital emergency ward. <br> One reason “Alien Resurrection” places so much emphasis on the stomach-turning is that only so much can be done with these films in terms of plot. In fact Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) neatly summarizes what’s to come when she says of the monster, “She’ll breed, you’ll die, everyone will die.” ** Kenneth Turan, [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-26-ca-57719-story.html “She’s Alive! It’s Alive!”], ''Los Angeles Times'', (Nov. 26, 1997) * French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the cinematic visionary who (with partner Marc Caro) gave us Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, brings an "other" Ripley to life, cloned, transformed, quietly cynical and possessed of inhuman strength. <br> Working from a tight, quirky script by Joss Whedon (Toy Story, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Jeunet makes this Alien into an extravaganza -- a movie narrated by its own look -- a deep, dark, sci-fi tableau in which the shadows around Ripley throb with malevolence. ** George Tysh, [https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/alien-resurrection/Content?oid=2281307 “Alien Resurrection”], ''Detroit Metro Times'', (November 26, 1997) * Jeunet has marked Resurrection with his telltale signature of unsettling, even disgusting, spectacle: A close-up of an ear getting singed by a drop of alien acid; the deep-set, needy eyes of a freak hybrid; even an impossible traveling shot down the throat of a screaming human victim. <br> Standout sequences include an underwater chase that seems more dream than reality, a horrifying DNA-lab showdown and a truly awesome alien birth. <br> With members of his French production team at the controls of photography, editing and visual effects, Jeunet has given this film a haunting presence, like the scent of formaldehyde in a jar of caviar. ** George Tysh, [https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/alien-resurrection/Content?oid=2281307 “Alien Resurrection”], ''Detroit Metro Times'', (November 26, 1997) * A series such as the Alien films, with hordes of fans worldwide and much acclaim under its belt, has a lot to live up to when a new sequel hits the collective retina. So, with the release of Alien Resurrection, the fourth chapter in the Ripley saga, audiences should be surprised by changes in the heroine we've come to know like a sister. ** George Tysh, [https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/alien-resurrection/Content?oid=2281307 “Alien Resurrection”], ''Detroit Metro Times'', (November 26, 1997) * Ms. Weaver says it was the reinvention of the Ripley character -- this ''spirit of [[nihilism]],'' as she calls it -- that persuaded her to do a fourth ''Alien'' film after she had all but decided that three were enough. <br> "It seemed a challenge," she says. "You know, we all feel that when things get too difficult we have a way out, that it's finally up to each of us, that we can exit. And I thought, how awful it would be to find yourself in a world where you had exited, with all sincerity, and they had brought you back against your will. I tried to go with that idea as far as I could." ** Sigourney Weaver in [https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/movies/film-sigourney-weaver-eludes-the-image-police.html "Sigourney Weaver Eludes the Image Police"], by William McDonald, ''New York Times'', (1997). * According to Den of Geek, Whedon's first draft of "Alien Resurrection" has the Betty crash-landing in a forest, which becomes the setting for a fight between Ripley, Call, and the skull-faced human-Xenomorph hybrid, the Newborn. Ripley wields a grenade launcher and Call drives a flying harvester with threshing teeth. After that, Whedon rewrote the ending several times, with the final earthbound version shifting to a desert location. As he explained: <br> "The first [version] was in the forest with the flying threshing machine. The second one was in a futuristic junkyard. The third one was in a maternity ward. And the fourth one was in the desert. Now at this point this had become about money, and I said, 'You know, the desert looks like Mars. That's not Earth; that's not going to give people that juice.' But I still wrote them the best ending I could that took place in the desert." <br> Whedon was dead set on an Earth finale because he felt, "The reason people are here is we're going to do the thing we've never done; we're gonna go to Earth." However, the aforementioned budgetary concerns led to the abandonment of this and other ideas in the movie. What's left is a film that the screenwriter was unhappy with and that came in dead last in our ranking of the "Alien" movies. ** Joss Whedon as quoted by Joshua Meyer, [https://www.slashfilm.com/785115/why-joss-whedons-original-endings-for-alien-resurrection-never-made-the-cut/ “Why Joss Whedon's Original Endings For Alien: Resurrection Never Made The Cut”], ''Slashfilm'', (March 2, 2022) * Uh...you know, it wasn’t a question of doing everything differently, although they changed the ending, it was mostly a matter of doing everything wrong. They said the lines...mostly...but they said them all wrong. And they cast it wrong. And they designed it wrong. And they scored it wrong. They did everything wrong that they could possibly do. There’s actually a fascinating lesson in filmmaking, because everything that they did reflects back to the script or looks like something from the script, and people assume that, if I hated it, then they’d changed the script...but it wasn’t so much that they’d changed the script; it’s that they just executed it in such a ghastly fashion as to render it almost unwatchable. ** Joss Whedon interviewed by Will Harris, [http://web.archive.org/web/20061111075942/http://www.bullz-eye.com/mguide/interviews/2005/joss_whedon.htm “Joss for a minute: A brief chat with Joss Whedon”], ''Bullz-eye.com'', (Interview date: 11/29/05 Posted: 12/16/05) === “‘Alien: Resurrection’ Is a Franchise High Point—Fight Me” (November 29, 2017) === <small> Frederick Blichert [https://www.vice.com/en/article/pa377y/alien-resurrection-is-a-franchise-high-pointfight-me “‘Alien: Resurrection’ Is a Franchise High Point—Fight Me”], ''Vice'', (November 29, 2017) </small> [[File:The_Sandow_Trocadero_Vaudevilles,_performing_arts_poster,_1894.jpg|thumb|It turns out Jeunet was Ryder’s idea, and he gives the film an eccentricity that may dull the horror a bit but gives Resurrection a really distinct style.

Call is part of a group of robots who rebelled and won back their freedom. It seems the top-down structure of Weyland-Yutani was so oppressive that even the previously obedient machines couldn’t stand it. And the military’s central computer now has a male voice and is referred to as “Father,” cementing the patriarchal role of those in power, in contrast to all the maternal imagery of Alien and the “Mother” console. <br> Ryder, who didn’t manage to use her 90s “it girl” rep to make Resurrection a hit, is one of the few people who actually remembers the film fondly, and is largely responsible for making it “kind of like a really cool art film,” as she described it in a 2013 interview with the Huffington Post, praising the direction of Jeunet, who was gaining fame for his offbeat French films and would eventually become an international star with Amélie. <br> It turns out Jeunet was Ryder’s idea, and he gives the film an eccentricity that may dull the horror a bit but gives Resurrection a really distinct style. At times, it feels like a vaudevillian theatre troupe putting on an Alien play, and I mean that in the best way. The actors playfully dive deep into their roles, and camp things up for a director who can appreciate the absurdity of it all. * Then there’s Ripley herself, whose transformation has all the hallmarks of a Whedon heroine. Nearly every Whedon project seems to have a woman with special abilities given to her by one shadowy cabal of men or another. Inevitably, she rebels and takes back her autonomy with force. This happened with Buffy, it happens with River in Serenity, and it happens with Echo in his later series Dollhouse. Ripley’s rampage in Resurrection is textbook Whedon patriarchy smashing, but it’s also a fitting conclusion to her relationship with Weyland-Yutani. <br> The company is replaced by a galactic military, but it’s all part of the same consolidation of power. The aliens represent the line corporations, governments, and armies (are these three even distinct?) are willing to cross to achieve their own ends, so Ripley’s resistance is always essentially pitted against the same thing. In Resurrection, they accidentally empower her through the very process that was meant to use her up. By reducing her to the level of meat to be experimented on, she and the xenomorphs literally become one. Everything and everyone is just a plaything for those in power. <br> In one of the film’s most cathartic (and disturbing) scenes, Ripley torches a lab full of failed Ripley clones, one of which painfully begs her for death. One of Ripley’s new crewmates, played by the always scene-stealing Ron Perlman, doesn’t get why she’s so angry as to be wasting ammo. He chalks it up to being “a chick thing,” which is a fitting final note. The control over human bodies has always had gendered undertones in the Alien films. Ripley is a woman whose physical autonomy is always under threat, either from the aliens or from her patriarchal corporate overlords. Here, she takes back control more divisively than ever before. === "Alien Resurrection” (November 26, 1997) === <small> [[Roger Ebert]], [https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/alien-resurrection-1997 "Alien Resurrection"], (November 26, 1997). </small> [[File:Perpetual_Motion_by_Norman_Rockwell.jpg|thumb|Mankind wants them for their genes?

Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is still the heroine, even though 200 years have passed since "Alien3." She has been cloned out of a drop of her own blood, and is being used as a broodmare: The movie opens with surgeons removing a baby alien from her womb. How the baby got in there is not fully explained, for which we should perhaps be grateful. * The birth takes place on a vast space ship. The interstellar human government hopes to breed more aliens, and use them for--oh, developing vaccines, medicines, a gene pool, stuff like that. The aliens have a remarkable body chemistry. Ripley's genes are all-right, too: They allow her reconstituted form to retain all of her old memories, as if cookie dough could remember what a gingerbread man looked like. <br> Ripley is first on a giant government science ship, then on a tramp freighter run by a vagabond crew. The monsters are at first held inside glass cells, but of course they escape (their blood is a powerful solvent that can eat through the decks of the ship). The movie's a little vague about Ripley: Is she all human, or does she have a little alien mixed in? For a while we wonder which side she's on. She laughs at mankind's hopes of exploiting the creatures: "She's a queen," she says of the new monster. "She'll breed. You'll die." When the tramp freighter comes into play, we get a fresh crew, including Call (Winona Ryder), who has been flown all the way from Earth to provide appeal for the younger members of the audience. Ryder is a wonderful actress, one of the most gifted of her generation, but wrong for this movie. She lacks the heft and presence to stand alongside Ripley and the grizzled old space dogs played by Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon, Dan Hedeya and Brad Dourif. She seems uncertain of her purpose in the movie, her speeches lack conviction, and when her secret is revealed, it raises more questions than it answers. Ryder pales in comparison with Jenette Goldstein, the muscular Marine who was the female sidekick in "Aliens." Weaver, on the other hand, is splendid: Strong, weary, resourceful, grim. I would gladly see a fifth "Alien" movie if they created something for her to do, and dialog beyond the terse sound bites that play well in commercials. Ripley has some good scenes. She plays basketball with a crew man (Perlman) and slams him around. When she bleeds, her blood fizzes interestingly on the floor--as if it's not quite human. She can smell an alien presence. And be smelled: Her baby recognizes her mother and sticks out a tongue to lick her. * Mankind wants them for their genes? I can think of a more valuable attribute: They're apparently able to generate biomass out of thin air. The baby born at the beginning of the film weighs maybe five pounds. In a few weeks the ship's cargo includes generous tons of aliens. What do they feed on? How do they fuel their growth and reproduction?

They're like [[w:perpetual motion|perpetual motion]] machines; they don't need input. * The "[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]" movies always have expert production design. "Alien Resurrection" was directed by the French visionary Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("City of Lost Children"), who with his designers has placed it in what looks like a large, empty hangar filled with prefabricated steel warehouse parts. There is not a single shot in the movie to fill one with wonder--nothing like the abandoned planetary station in "Aliens." Even the standard shots of vast spaceships, moving against a backdrop of stars, are murky here, and perfunctory. === “The Biggest Mistakes Alien Resurrection Made (& How It Could Improve)” (Nov 27, 2020) === <small> Cathal Gunning, [https://screenrant.com/alien-resurrection-movie-biggest-mistakes-changes-fix-explained/ “The Biggest Mistakes Alien Resurrection Made (& How It Could Improve)”], ''Screen Rant'', (Nov 27, 2020) </small> [[File:Chickenvane.jpg|thumb|Alien Resurrection’s lush visual [[w:Palette|palette]] is an immediately striking and evocative change of pace for the series.

When a movie makes Tank Girl look less than garish, it’s cause for concern.]] * There were plenty of problems that plagued the production of Alien Resurrection, but despite the movie’s convoluted set-up and knotty plot, its creation was not quite as strained as its predecessor Alien 3. Future Amelie director Jeunet thought that the franchise ended with Alien 3 and, like producer Walter Hill, he was skeptical about continuing the story, but the movie’s large budget tempted him to take on the job. The helmer hired visual effects specialist and future Catwoman director Pitof to work with him, which could, in retrospect, be read as an early indication that things were taking a bad turn. But the problems didn’t become clear until the movie’s secret weapon—the newborn Alien—was unveiled. <br> Like the Predalien in the later (underrated) Alien Vs Predator spin-off series, the Newborn Alien was intended to be a huge draw for Alien Resurrection, as the movie would be unveiling a new hybrid form of the title monster with a previously unseen creature design. The Alien Queen of James Cameron’s Aliens was one of the sequel’s best-loved additions to the franchise, so expectations were high. The Newborn Alien did not live up to them. Slimy, gangly, and hilariously human, the newborn was a laughable, giant-headed mess of overlong limbs and pot-bellied oddness. Originally intended to have human genitalia until the studio balked and Jeunet admitted that “even for a Frenchman it’s a bit much”, the Newborn was, nonetheless, a disaster even without its private parts appearing in the finished movie. An earlier design would have seen the creators model the monster’s appearance on Weaver herself, but this was abandoned for fear of resembling [[w:Species (film)|Species]]’ Sil. It’s a shame, as anything would have been an improvement on the prune-faced ghoul viewers were eventually left with. * [A]t least part of Alien Resurrection’s failure to win over even existing fans of the franchise can be attributed to the movie’s failure to nail down a definite, specific tone. The movie is too quippy and action-oriented (thanks to screenwriter Joss Whedon’s contributions) to be as authentically scary as Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed original movie. 1979’s Alien was pitched as a “haunted house movie in space” for good reason, as it begins dark and only grows more brutal throughout its duration. James Cameron’s sequel Aliens, meanwhile, is a less grim affair, with the cast well-armed and better prepared to take on the titular threat. In contrast, in Alien Resurrection, the characters never seem to be in mortal peril; they’re toughened mercenaries and scientists developing bio-weapons, neither of whom seem ill-equipped to take on a threat. * Speaking of the movie’s darkness, Alien Resurrection’s lush visual palette is an immediately striking and evocative change of pace for the series. Each movie in the franchise had a unique visual style, whether it’s the burnt-orange and metallic grey post-apocalyptic look of Alien 3, the sleek steely blues of Aliens, or the grimy, black-green fetid darkness of the first installment.

But ''Alien Resurrection,'' the fourth installment and the one that comes closest to suggesting there may be rain-slicked dark alleys in space, also offers the most buff and sexily insolent incarnation of the aliens' favorite antagonist, Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. And this time it's personal: much of Ripley's new swagger comes from the fact that she now apparently has alien blood, or slime, or ooze, or whatever it is, coursing through her veins. * We know most of the aliens' tricks by now, even if ''Alien Resurrection'' gives them the chance to chase human prey through garbage-strewn waters and swish their tails like marauding raptors. They still invade human hosts and burst out horribly at inconvenient moments; they still enjoy some of the most stomach-turning breeding habits imaginable. The new wrinkle this time is that neo-Ripley finds herself strangely sympatico with these creatures, even to the point of experiencing maternal stirrings late in the story. A new queen alien has appropriated some of Ripley's re-productive system and can now produce live, skeletal, screeching, glop-covered offspring. Maybe that tells you more than you want to know. * As directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, half of the duo behind ''Delicatessen'' and ''City of Lost Children,'' ''Alien Resurrection'' has an eerie grunge look (with cinematography by the inventive Da-rius Khondji) and a sometimes ghastly sideshow atmosphere. The characters this time, with a cast including Dan Hedaya, Brad Dourif and Ron Perlman, tend to be surly miscreants, and the story has more kinks. Winona Ryder wears Army boots as a crew member of the Betty, a small ship that docks with the Auriga to engage in illicit business and stays long enough to fight the evil beasts. Tauntingly flirtatious scenes between Ms. Ryder and Ms. Weaver give this film a sexual boldness that the others' action-adventure spirit lacked. <br> Fierce, beautiful and sardonic, Ms. Weaver makes an impressive linchpin for this series, even if she can't make it palatable for the faint of heart. When Mr. Jeunet's well-established taste for the grotesque yields an episode worthy of a circus sideshow, with hideously malformed creatures floating in glass containers and a grisly secret about Ripley's past ready to emerge, not even Ms. Weaver and her flamethrower can triumph over the sequence's extreme nastiness. === “`Alien' All Guts, No Glory / Sequel looks great, if gory, but doesn't have much brains” (Nov. 26, 1997) === <small> Peter Stack, [https://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/Alien-All-Guts-No-Glory-Sequel-looks-great-2793420.php “`Alien' All Guts, No Glory / Sequel looks great, if gory, but doesn't have much brains”], ''SF Gate'', (Nov. 26, 1997) </small> [[File:Alien_Resurrection_03.jpg|thumb|Jeunet blended darkness, heavy metal, repugnantly weird things in specimen vials, an underwater sequence, a feeling of paranoia and an almost determined lack of humanity.

The cluttered, surreal, claustrophobic sets and gooey alien creatures look intriguing, sometimes shocking. But the story tries so hard to be imaginative that it congeals and sinks like lead. <br> This film should be an amazing thrill ride, but it has the emotional impact of a bowling ball at rest. The scene that gets the biggest response is one showing just how hairy actor Dan Hedaya is (he plays a spaceship captain), and he's not even an alien. No doubt the intensely violent production, opening today in time to gross out Thanksgiving holiday moviegoers, will do stratospheric box-office business. But staying power is another question. * As almost always with sequels, the "Alien" spawn have gotten dopier as they've gone along. Yet each has had the saving grace of a distinctive look. "Alien Resurrection" is easily the most visually interesting of all. Credit it to French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who imported his surrealistic, horrific ideas direct from "[[Delicatessen]]" and the superb "[[The City of Lost Children]]." <br> Jeunet blended darkness, heavy metal, repugnantly weird things in specimen vials, an underwater sequence, a feeling of paranoia and an almost determined lack of humanity. And he also brought two of his favorite actors: big Ron Perlman to be a jackbooted bad guy, and Dominique Pinon to get a few laughs as a pipsqueak. <br> Winona Ryder is the biggest new attraction in the series. Her character, Call, is the only soft, humane creature within several light-years of the -- sprawling spaceship Auriga, where the action takes place. Eventually it is revealed that 12 hissing, hungry aliens, products of evil biology experiments, are headed toward Earth. <br> Ryder, arriving with a crew of smugglers, looks almost too doll- like to be hanging around the tough, cynical or maniacal types that populate the film's cavernous, clanking world. But her big button black eyes and that intense focus she has at just the right dramatic moment wind up providing the only dollop of humanity. And it's much needed. * Sigourney Weaver, in this fourth in the "Alien" series, returns as Ripley, the tough heroine who has been dallying with the toothed aliens since 1979. <br> Weaver has weathered the experience much better than the films have. She's lithe and sexy in that no-nonsense action-hero way. About that much-discussed backward basketball shot she makes -- Weaver looks like the type who could pull it off. * Meanness is big in "Alien Resurrection." It's hard to remember a more coarse, obscenely violent movie. The "fun" starts right away with open-chest surgery shown in up-close, disgustingly graphic detail (with Brad Dourif as an icky doctor). The scene is the birth of a baby alien from under Ripley's ribs. Whoever said that surgery was the next pornography was right. <br> In the course of the film, viewers get treated to aliens feeding on guts, brains and heads, all shown in splatter-movie fashion. And there are constant references to predatory sex acts. That popular '90s phrase "viewer discretion advised" is definitely applicable. === "All Things 'Alien'" (November 9, 1997) === <small> Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder in [http://articles.latimes.com/1997/nov/09/entertainment/ca-51876 "All Things 'Alien'"] by John Clark, ''L.A.

I remember swimming up to one little opening and my weight belt was, like, I couldn't do it, and then I released the belt and I floated up, and right as I came up I was about to grab this thing and this grip goes, "You probably don't want to touch that. You're going to get electrocuted." So it was this choice between drowning and getting electrocuted. :'''Weaver''': If you were to grab something where we did finally come up, the set was covered with these needle-sharp protrusions, thousands of them everywhere. And I said, "Why are we in this place where all these exposed needles are?" and this guy says, "I don't know. It's for the set design." === "In Defence Of...

"I loved the evolution of the character," Weaver has said, and it's not hard to see why she signed on despite the infamously onerous Alien 3 production. She plays an intoxicating range, from snarky quips ("I'm the monster's mother") and slam dunks (she put that basketball in the net for real), to the gut-punching moment she discovers Ripleys 1-7. That last encounter spectacularly drags the franchise into [[w:Freak show|freak show]] territory - you thought Ripley's life was a [[circus]] of [[horrors]] before? You ain't seen nothing yet. * What really separates A:R from its predecessors is its morbid sense of humour. Positioning itself as a carnival of weirdness rather than an all-out scare-flick, it amps the gore up to Shakespearean levels and, most shockingly, a number of deaths are played entirely for laughs (see cross-eyed General Perez plucking out the contents of his skull). It's a brave move by French director Jean-Paul Jeunet. In stark contrast to David Fincher's experiences on Alien 3, Jeunet was given free rein to do whatever he wanted (within the $70m budget; the biggest of any of the Alien films), and while he kept most of Whedon's script intact, Jeunet's weird humour is all over Alien: Resurrection.– * If Alien was sinewy like a xenomorph and Aliens was pumped-up like the Alien Queen, Alien: Resurrection is as grotesque and mesmerising as the newborn. Whedon may have hated it, but he's hardly the first writer to disown his work. (Besides, he went on to make Firefly, which features just about the exact same set of characters - Johner is now Jayne, with Reavers standing in for xenos and so forth). <br>"It's kind of like a really cool art film," Winona Ryder recently surmised of Alien: Resurrection, and she's right. Like art, it's unapologetic and singular in its vision, and it's a shame that the enticing open ending never developed into an immediate sequel. It's also odd that Marvel man Whedon isn't a fan - while the previous Alien films were all sci-fi horrors, there's something distinctly comic-booky about Alien: Resurrection. Perhaps it was just a little ahead of its time. === “Serenity Now!” (August/September 2005) === [[File:Earth night.jpg|thumb|In the case of “Alien: Resurrection,” they decided to spend their money in other places than going to Earth. And I just kept saying, “The reason people are here is we’re going to do the thing we’ve never done; we’re gonna go to Earth."]] <small> Joss Whedon interviewed by Jim Kozak [http://web.archive.org/web/20110615162238/http://www.natoonline.org/infocus/05augustseptember/whedonuncut.htm “Serenity Now!”] In Focus, (August/September 2005) </small> *'''Kozak''': I thought your original screenplay for “Alien: Resurrection” was brilliant – with its epic final battle on Earth, for Earth – and vastly more engrossing than what ultimately made its way to the screen. I have to assume there were budgetary issues, because I can’t imagine another reason anyone would tinker with it. :'''Whedon''': Well, let me ask you something. This ending that took place on Earth. What happened in it? Where did it take place? :'''Kozak''': It took place in a forest … :'''Whedon''': Yes. Oh wow. That’s the first one. There were five. And it was always either “the director had a vision” or they had a budget issue. And as a script doctor I’ve been called in more than a few times, and the issue is always the same: “We want you to make the third act more exciting and cheaper.” And my response inevitably is, “The problem with the third act is the first two acts.” This response is never listened to. I usually walk away having gotten one or two jokes into a script and made some money and feeling like I am just bereft of life. It’s horrible. The exceptions were “[[Toy Story]]” and “[[Speed (film)|Speed]],” where they actually let me do something. <br> In the case of “Alien: Resurrection,” they decided to spend their money in other places than going to Earth. And I just kept saying, “The reason people are here is we’re going to do the thing we’ve never done; we’re gonna go to Earth.” But there were a lot of things that we hadn’t done that we ended up not doing because of a singular lack of vision. <br> But rather than go into all of the reasons why “Alien: Resurrection” is disappointing to me, I will tell you that, yes, I wrote five endings. The first one was in the forest with the flying threshing machine. The second one was in a futuristic junkyard. The third one was in a maternity ward. <br> And the fourth one was in the desert. Now at this point this had become about money, and I said, “You know, the desert looks like Mars. That’s not Earth; that’s not going to give people that juice.” But I still wrote them the best ending I could that took place in the desert. And then finally they said, “Y’knowww, we just don’t think we need to go to Earth.” So I just gave them dialogue and stuff, but I don’t remember writing, “A withered, granny-lookin’ Pumkinhead-kinda-thing makes out with Ripley.” Pretty sure that stage direction never existed in any of my drafts. *'''Whedon''': The history of “Alien: Resurrection” is fairly twisted also because I wrote a 30-page treatment for a different movie. They wanted to do a movie with a clone of Newt [the little girl from “Aliens”] as their heroine. Because I’d done some action movies and I’d done “Buffy,” they said, “Well, he can write teenage girls and he can write action, so let’s give him a shot.” The franchise was pretty much dead, and I wrote the treatment and they said, “This is really exciting. We want to get back in this business. But we want Ripley. So throw this out.” That one was probably my favorite; I think it was a better-structured story than the one I ultimately wrote. == Cast == * [[Sigourney Weaver]] ~ Ellen Ripley Clone 8 * [[w:Winona Ryder|Winona Ryder]] ~ Annalee Call * [[w:Ron Perlman|Ron Perlman]] ~ Johner * [[w:Dan Hedaya|Dan Hedaya]] ~ General Martin Perez * [[w:J.E.

Especially this motherfucker right here! :'''Akhmal:''' If I suck balls, you are king of Suck Balls Mountain! <hr width="50%"/> :'''NoHo Hank:''' 50/50 with Cristobal! <hr width="50%"/> : '''Mayrbeck:''' Is it true you are the most gifted assassin in all of America? :'''Barry:''' No, I'm not the most gifted assassin in all of America. :'''NoHo Hank:''' He's being modest. He is Air Jordan of assassins. === ''What?!'' [2.04] === :''[Barry notices Mayrbeck screwing around in training and fires off a gun next to his head]'' :'''Barry:''' You think this is some fucking game? Think this is some fucking game? Huh? You lose your focus, ''you give the other guy a chance to fire, you're '''dead'''!'' '''''KILL!''''' That's the only word I want in your fucking head. "Kill". <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry:''' Look, today, a guy said something to me, and it, uh... made me mad. :'''Cosineau:''' What'd you do? You thump him up, huh? Did ya throw him a little high heat? A little chi music? Hey, Barry, we're both Alphas. I understand. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cousineau:''' So here's my advice. You ''never'' tell that story again as long as you live 'cause basically, you killed somebody and you got away with it. :'''Barry:''' See, that's why I didn't wanna tell you. This is why I didn't wanna tell you, 'cause you're gonna look at me differently. You're gonna look at me... like I'm a murderer, like I'm a- like I'm a violent piece of shit... :'''Cousineau:''' Barry? Listen to me. I had a son. I was terrible to this son. I was cruel. I was selfish. And there's nothing I can do to change that. But I don't want to be that guy anymore. And I pray that human beings can change their nature, because if we can't, then you and I are in deep trouble. :'''Barry:''' Wh- How do we do that? :'''Cousineau:''' I think we're doing it already. You didn't beat that guy up, did you? You came here. We're talking about your feelings instead of acting out your feelings. And as for my son, the first time I reached out to him after years and years, I got a big "Fuck you, dad!" But today... today, he brought me strawberries. :'''Barry:''' Do you think I'm a bad person, Mr. Cousineau? :'''Cousineau:''' I think you're deeply human. You did a terrible thing. But do I think that defines you? No. That's why I don't think you should tell this story in front of the class. Also, they will shit themselves. I mean, they're children. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Loach:''' Do you have any idea what it's like to- to fuckin' love somebody and have some motherfucker come along and take them away from you?! DO YOU?! :'''Barry:''' I'm sorry about Janice. :'''Loach:''' What- not ''Moss''! :''[Loach pulls out his phone and shows Barry a picture]'' :'''Loach:''' That's Ronny Proxen. He's fucking my wife. You get rid of him, and all this goes away. :''[Beat]'' :'''Barry:''' What?! === ''ronny/lily'' [2.05] === :'''Fuches:''' ''[Seeing Barry's wounds]'' Ah! Jesus! What'd he do, hit you with a fuckin' cleaver? :'''Barry:''' It wasn't Ronny. :'''Fuches:''' What do you mean, "it wasn't Ronny"? :'''Barry:''' No, it was his daughter. I think he... He trains her, or something, 'cause she was like a... like a feral mongoose. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry:''' I'm not killing a kid, Fuches. Plus, I don't... I don't think she's of this world. <hr width="50%"/> :''[After Lily climbs a tree and jumps onto the roof of her house]'' :'''Fuches:''' Okay, she's not human. :'''Barry:''' That's what I said, man. :'''Fuches:''' She's something else, I don't know what. :'''Barry:''' That's what I told you, dude. :'''Fuches:''' Alright. What do you wanna do then, huh? I mean, in an ideal world, we'd just burn down the house. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry:''' I gotta go to a hospital! :'''Fuches:''' Is that her?! :'''Barry:''' It's a trash can! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fuches:''' What do you want me to get? :'''Barry:''' Needle and thread! For stitches! Because I'm dying! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lily bites Fuches' cheek]'' :'''Fuches:''' Barry. Kill her. :'''Barry:''' Just take her off your face. :'''Fuches:''' I can't. :'''Barry:''' Why? :'''Fuches:''' 'Cause I super-glued my hands to the steering wheel. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fuches:''' ''[Watching Lily run away]'' '''''WHAT ARE YOU?!''''' === ''The Truth Has a Ring to It'' [2.06] === :'''NoHo Hank:''' ...I meant my word.

You just... whipped out your accordion, and you fucked it, man! === ''The Audition'' [2.07] === :'''Cosineau:''' An audition? :'''Barry:''' Mm-hmm. :'''Cosineau:''' You? Have an audition? What, are they reading extras now? :'''Barry:''' That is so weird! Sally said the same thing. :'''Cosineau:''' What's the part? :'''Barry:''' It's a guy named, um, J.T. in a movie called ''Swim Instructors''. :'''Cosineau:''' How many of these did you print? :'''Barry:''' It's just one. It's four scenes. :'''Cosineau:''' Holy moly! J.T. is on every page! That's a lot of lines, Barry. :'''Barry:''' Yeah, I think he's one of the leads. :'''Cosineau:''' ''[Gasps]'' No! You say, "Oh, we're just a bunch of swim instructors." That's the title! They can't cut that! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cosineau:''' I'm trying to give you the view from ten thousand feet before we dive in and break it down scene-by-scene. So, Scene One: Loss. :'''Barry:''' Mm-hm. :'''Cosineau:''' Scene Two: You shit in a pie. :'''Barry:''' So, uh... relief? :'''Cosineau:''' No, I think It's a little more nuanced than that; I think it's about vengeance. :'''Barry:''' Okay. :'''Cosineau:''' And then, Scene Three: Whoopsie! You eat the shit pie. Comeuppance. "He who seeks revenge digs two graves", Barry. It's a tale as old as time. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cosineau:''' Whose cock did you have to suck in a former life? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry:''' Hey, Ike, you shitbird! ''[High-Pitched]'' You want a little pie? Mr. Cousineau said I should, um, put a little mustard on "pie" there- :'''Sally:''' I'm sorry. Can we, um Can we stop? :'''Barry:''' Sure. :'''Sally:''' For a second. I just I feel like I need to say something, Barry. :'''Barry:''' Okay. :'''Sally:''' This piece that I'm doing for class. It's exactly what I should be doing. :'''Barry:''' Yeah, no, and it's great! What you're doing is- :'''Sally:''' I'm terrified, okay? Because my piece is real. It's not a character. It's me. Raw, unapologetic truth with a capital "T. " I mean, all caps, actually. I'm thinking like a writer now. I mean, this was stuff that I couldn't even talk about without lying. And here I am, about to strip naked in front of a bunch of strangers and share something that I am massively ashamed of -- Not literally. I don't believe in nudity unless it drives the story forward. -- I'm afraid that they're gonna judge me, and I'm afraid that Sam's gonna find out and do something crazy. But I have to do this. It's it's my story to tell. But then, I mean, so many other women have the same story. What, am I a spokesperson for them now? Could I be the face of a movement? I mean, what if I get it wrong? I mean, I resent the fact that Nick can get up there and talk about his "stomach condition," and it's not like he has to be the poster boy for bulimia. But I get up there, and whatever I say, it's like, "What are we saying about women?" I mean, this is just my story! "But what if you get it wrong, Sally?" "I don't know." "You can't get it wrong, Sally. But you can't not tell it either, Sally, because it's who you are." Which makes this thing that my agents sent me on today so fucking insulting. ''Payback Ladies''? It's just another shit male idea of what strong women are. Oh, oh, oh, "Grab a gun and some stilettos and get a goddamn blowout. And look how strong you are now, Sally!" It's bullshit! Which, by the way, so is this. It's quite possibly the worst thing I've ever read. But you want to know the worst part? You want to know what's really driving me fucking crazy? I am so jealous that you're reading for this. I have never had a director's session for a feature, which is the same thing as a movie, P. S. And I have been doing this for way longer, and I think you'd agree that I am ''way'' better. I ''made'' you! And I'm actually represented by Gersh. Well, at least I was. I don't even know if they'd rep me anymore after what I said in there today, but still at least I held my ground, because I am an artist, okay, an artist, and this is not fucking art. But then, I mean, to be honest, of course I'm so happy for you. I mean, of course I want you to get this part, and I want to be the one to help you learn your lines and fix your inflections. But I need you to know that if you do get it, it's gonna make me like like a hundred times more insane. Okay? ''[Sighs]'' Continue. :'''Barry:''' Hey, Ike, you shitbird! You want a little pie? <hr width="50%"/> :'''NoHo Hank''': Hey, guys, since we're all about to die in a moment, I have to be honest about something, okay? I have been deceiving you guys and before we die, I have to come clean. I know you look at me and you see hard as nails criminal, stone-cold killer, Iceman. But, uh... This is lie. In fact, I have been lying about who I am my entire life. Real talk? I should not be manager of crime syndicate! I should be manager of hotel -- chain of hotels! Instead of being this conning man, playing the role of the ruthless gangster. I mean, that is not who I am, because the truth bomb of it is -- maybe not a lot of you, so be it. I'm nice. I'm polite. I'm optometrist by nature, you know? But because I did not have courage to stand up and be my true self, nice guy, and instead chose pants-on-fire existence, we are all on the barbecue bus. So, guys, I am really sorry for, uh, convincing you I was ruthless leader. I will regret it for the rest of my life. Probably two more minutes. So, in closing, hopefully there is afterlife, and I can host you all in heaven and make you delicious appetizers. Wouldn't that be something, guys? Guys? Guys! === ''berkman > block'' [2.08] === :'''Fuches:''' Murder... Je- I used to think people like you were the ''shit'', man. Badasses like yourself always fascinated me. But- But doing it, y'know, actually pulling the trigger, ending a life... that takes someone with no soul. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fuches:''' You know... you could save your little acting teacher. You know that, right? :'''Barry:''' I'm gonna fucking kill you, Fuches. :'''Fuches:''' All you have to do is turn yourself in. Give it all up for him. Yeah? Not so altruistic now, are you mother''fucker''? Now who's out of moves? Bye bye! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mae Dunn:''' Okay. You're free to go! :'''Barry:''' Can I see Mr. Cousineau? :'''Dunn:''' Oh, no, we think he killed his girlfriend, so he's staying here with us. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fuches:''' Barry Berkman did this. == Season 3 == === ''forgiving jeff'' [3.01] === :'''Barry''': I thought you wanted to watch him suffer. :'''Charles''': I know, but, um... he's asked for my forgiveness. Y-- Y'know, he made some valid points! So, uh... I'm forgiving Jeff. :'''Barry''': ...you're forgiving Jeff. :'''Jeff''': I'm sorry I fucked your wife. :'''Charles''': He's sorry he fucked my wife! ''[He laughs.]'' Y'know, and she's no saint either! Okay? There's a whole ''history'' we don't need to get into! I- I... I think I just overreacted. :''[Barry shoots Charles and Jeff before walking off to his car. He shouts to the corpses behind him:]'' :'''Barry''': There's no forgiving Jeff! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cristobal''': I can't make anything happen until I rebuild. Your little boyfriend Barry killed all my buddies. You know this. :'''Hank''': Well, you know that he killed most of my buddies, too. :'''Cristobal''': I don't want to talk about Barry! When I do, I can't sleep. Plus... He killed all my buddies. :'''Hank''': We both had buddies killed. :'''Cristobal''': You have some buddies. I have no buddies. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Hank''': Barry. Forgiveness is something that has to be ''earned''. And whatever shit you're going through? I can't be part of it. I'm embracing my life. It's like that line in ''[[w: The Shawshank Redemption (film) | Shawshank Redemption]]''... "[[w: Get Rich or Die Tryin'|Get rich, or die trying]]." <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry''': You look good! :'''Gene''': So do you. :'''Barry''': Downstairs looks like a lot of work. :'''Gene''': It is. :'''Barry''': Must be hard, uh, closing up this place. So, if you're not teaching anymore, are you gonna go back to performing, or...? :'''Gene''': My career is ''shit'', Barry. You know that. :'''Barry''': Well, are you, uh... doing well otherwise? :'''Gene''': Remember that day in the woods? I've been thinking about that a lot. Remember the guy that took me into the woods? What was his name? Like the singer... Goulet. Kenneth Goulet. :'''Barry''': Yeah. :'''Gene''': After he popped the trunk... and I saw what I saw... He whispered into my ear. He said "Barry Berkman did this." I know you killed Janice. :''[Gene reaches under his desk, pointing something at Barry.]'' :'''Gene''': So, you have two choices: Come with me to the station, turn yourself in. Or ''fuckin' die''. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gene''': Look... I promise you, this is water under the bridge! Whatever you've done, I've forgot it! I've forgiven you! I forgive you! :'''Barry''': Forgiveness has to be earned... :'''Gene''': ''Then fuckin' earn it!'' === ''limonada'' [3.02] === :'''Barry''': ''[about Cousineau]'' If you actually felt that way, you do something about it, but you're not doing anything about it, so now I have to do something about it. I came here for your help and you're not giving it to me. :'''Sally''': Are you okay? Because you seem a little manic. :'''Barry''': I'm worried about him. :'''Sally''': So am I. Which is why I tried to get him on my show. We're saying the same thing. :'''Barry''': ''[slaps his face]'' WE ARE NOT SAYING THE SAME THING! WE ARE NOT SAYING THE SAME THING! IF I DON'T DO THIS, I DON'T LIVE! I HAVE TO DO THIS TO FUCKING LIVE! :'''Sally''': ''[starts laughing]'' :'''Barry''': Don't fucking laugh at me! My whole life! My whole...fucking life! :'''Sally''': Barry. :'''Barry''': I need you to do this for me now! NOW! Do it! DO IT! :'''Sally''': Okay, I see...you're very upset right now...look, I, I, I'm sorry...I tried...and I, I, I can't. :'''Barry''': Shit. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cousineau''': So you're going to hold me hostage until you book me a part? That's not the way it works. We're talking about me here. That could take years. Look what I'm saying to you is that your plan sucks. Look, I swear on Janice's soul I will not say a word to anyone- :'''Barry''': It's either this or I kill you. :'''Cousineau''': You're one of the good guys Barry. You did a horrible thing. But I see your pain. It is the same pain you came to me with, fresh out of the army. A lost soul. No one to tell you your worth. I took you in. Not only did I teach you to be a good actor, I taught you to be a good human being. And this is how you repay me? By killing me? :'''Barry''': I love you, Mr. Cousineau. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Barry''': I told that casting director our story and he was so moved...that he gave us both parts. So you're going to enjoy everything that comes with being given a second chance...because if you don't...this one ''[gestures to Gene's grandson]''...and that one ''[gestures to Leo]''...go away. Do you understand? :''[Gene nods]'' :'''Barry''': ''[emotionally]'' I love you, Mr. Cousineau. Do you love me? :''[Gene nods again]'' :'''Barry''': Can you say it? :'''Gene''': ''[contemptuously]'' I love you, Barry. :'''Barry''': ...can you say it again? === ''ben mendelsohn'' [3.03] === :''[Cousineau sits in his trailer, alone. From somewhere offscreen, Barry enters.]'' :'''Barry:''' They let me keep my beard! Yeah, they said some Pharma guys actually have a beard like this. :''[Barry pats Cousineau on the shoulder. Cousineau flinches and rolls both his shoulders. Barry groans and sits across from him.]'' :'''Barry:''' Wanna run lines? Yeah, alright. "What I did was terrible, and I'm truly sorry." :'''Cousineau:''' "I accept your apology." :'''Barry:''' That was great! Ah, man. This trailer is nice! I might go over to the ''Wheel of Fortune'' building, take some pictures-- :'''Cousineau:''' Did she suffer? :''[A prolonged beat as Barry's smile slides off his face. He shakes his head "no".]'' :'''Cousineau:''' But she figured out that it was you she was looking for. And I invited you to my cabin... :''[Barry sighs.]'' :'''Cousineau:''' Who was that guy that took me into the woods? :'''Barry:''' He's nobody. Actually, y'know what? That's not true; I wanna be honest with you because I think we have a good thing going here, um... He's a family friend. He's actually kinda like a-- :'''Cousineau:''' An uncle? He got you into this line of work? So that monologue... that you gave me when I first met you, that was fuckin' true! And then I said it again at the dinner table... And she knew it was you. :'''Barry:''' Hey, we don't need to rehash all this-- :'''Cousineau:''' If I didn't say anything... She'd be alive today. :'''Barry:''' Aw, no, don't put that on yourself, Mr. Cousineau. No, she was good at her job. The whole thing's just really unfortunate, y'know? Look, I believe -- a-and some of this, I got from your teachings -- that... That, that you can be the version of yourself that you wanna be. :'''Cousineau:''' I never said that to you. :'''Barry:''' What I'm saying is... is that I never would've learned that if it wasn't for you. :'''Cousineau:''' ''So I'm responsible for who you are?'' :'''Barry:''' The positive side, yeah! I mean, meeting you changed my life for the better, you know? :''[Beat]'' :'''Barry:''' Look, we've both done terrible things in our lives, but we're helping each other... make up for it! Ya know? I mean, you got a line! ''[Barry chuckles sardonically.]'' You're welcome. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Fuches and Barry are on a phone call.]'' :'''Fuches:''' I wanna say... I'm sorry, for whatever it is you think I did to hurt your relationship with Mr. Cousineau. :'''Barry:''' Okay. :'''Fuches:''' Okay, good! Good. Uh, now in the spirit of that comment, is there something you'd like to say to me? :'''Barry:''' No. :''[Beat.]'' :'''Fuches:''' I'm dying, Barry. I'm in the hostpital. Doctors are being cagey -- not a lot of eye contact. So if there ever was a time you did wanna say something to me, now would be that time. :'''Barry:''' Are those goats in the background? :'''Fuches:''' I can give you some apology options off the top of my head, Barry -- "I'm sorry I ''shot at you!'' I'm sorry I ruined your heroin deal with the Burmese!" :'''Barry:''' Alright, I don't have time for this, okay? Me and Mr. Cousineau are fine, please don't call me again. Alright? :''[Barry hangs up his phone. It buzzes again.]'' :'''Barry:''' Yeah. :'''Fuches:''' The fuck do you mean, you and Cousineau are fine? :'''Barry:''' I mean we're ''fine.'' We worked our shit out together. Actually, we're working together today. :'''Fuches:''' Oh, you're working? :'''Barry:''' Yeah! On a show called ''Laws of Humanity''. :'''Fuches:''' ...That's a great show. :'''Barry:''' And I know you told him I killed Janice, but we hashed it out. Like adults. So there's no need to apologize, because your old fuckin' plan didn't work. :'''Fuches:''' Ah, you're good, are ya? You're never gonna move past that! You destroyed that guy's life! :'''Barry:''' Yeah, well now I'm making it up to him. By acting. :'''Fuches:''' How the fuck do you do that?! :'''Barry:''' Why do you care? :'''Fuches:''' I ''don't'' care! :'''Barry:''' Well you obviously fuckin' care, you called me! :'''Fuches:''' You called me. :'''Barry:''' You are ''fuckin{{'}}'' nuts, man! Also, I know you're on a farm or something because I can hear goats in the background. :'''Fuches:''' Maybe I'm at the zoo, with my ''new best friend!'' :'''Barry:''' Thought you said you were at a hospital. :''[Fuches screams into the receiver and throws his phone on the ground.]'' <hr width="50%"/> :''[Barry and Cousineau are filming their scene together. Gene (playing a widower) sits in a chair while Barry (a Pharmaceutical head) stands behind him.]'' :'''Barry:''' Sir, my, uh... company knowingly hiked the prices of a drug that would've saved your wife's life. What I did was terrible, and I'm truly sorry. :''[A beat. Gene slowly stands and turns to face Barry. They stare each other down for a few seconds before Gene takes a wild swing, striking Barry across the jaw.]'' :'''Cousineau:''' I want you to stay away from my family!

Sally approaches him.]'' :'''Sally:''' Hey. :'''Barry:''' I missed it. :'''Sally:''' Yeah, you did. :'''Barry:''' Ah, fuck. I'm sorry. You look great. :'''Sally:''' Thanks. :'''Barry:''' How did it go? :'''Sally:''' Honestly? It was... the greatest night of my life. :'''Barry:''' That's great! Hey, I'm sorry... :'''Sally:''' Barry, we're done. :'''Barry:''' What, because I missed the premiere? :'''Sally:''' The way you yelled at me the other day, at the office? I-- It sent me to a place I never wanna go again. This relationship isn't good for me. :'''Barry:''' Wait, are you serious? I had a bad day! Wha-- I can't have a bad day?! :'''Sally:''' I'm gonna stay at Natalie's, so I need you to go to the apartment and pack up your stuff and move out. :''[Sally walks to her car.]'' :'''Barry:''' No, no, no, no, hey-- Sally! ''Sally!'' === ''crazytimeshitshow'' [3.05] === :'''Barry:''' I'm just gonna freak her out a little bit :'''Sally:''' Freak her out how? :'''Barry:''' Oh, there's a lot of ways. It's, you know... nothing bad. No, it's just... like, for instance, I could... send her a picture of herself sleeping. You know, just as a way of being like, "Hey, not cool what you did to Sally, you know?" :'''Sally:''' ...so you'd break into her house? :'''Barry:''' Oh, she'd never know I was there. The whole point is to isolate her and make her feel like she's going insane. So, I would just do little things, like replace her dog with a slightly different dog, or, you know, change the furniture in her house so she thinks she's shrinking. You know, basic stuff. Most of it I learned in the military. Some of it on a subreddit. You know? Basically, just plant a seed, and then they just kinda hang themselves, so it's super nonviolent. But by the end of it, like, her brain will have essentially eaten itself, you know? But that's on the table if you want it. Okay? === ''710N'' [3.06] === :'''Barry:''' What'd you put in the sauce? :'''Sharon:''' Die, you motherfucker. === ''candy asses'' [3.07] === :'''Jim Moss:''' I was in 'Nam. I was a fighter pilot. :'''Fuches:''' No shit. :'''Moss:''' Yeah, got shot down. Captured. :'''Fuches:''' Candy asses. They make you talk? :'''Moss:''' I got in my interrogator's head and he ended up committing suicide. Me and some of the other guys escaped. :'''Fuches:''' ...you convinced your interrogator to kill himself? :'''Moss:''' Yeah! Some of the other guys said I had an aptitude for it. But, uh, I thought I was just being nice, but when I got to SERE school, they pulled me out of class and made me an instructor. :'''Fuches:''' And the guy killed himself? Hm. Was he depressed? :'''Moss:''' I wanted my daughter, Janice, to get into it, but she resisted. She said "Daddy, what you do is fucked up." :'''Fuches:''' Did you get any sense of his home life? :'''Moss:''' Yeah, and then she went and did her homicide thing. I was proud of her. <hr width="50%"/> :'''George Krempf''': You know the sound of kids' footsteps early in the morning? I still hear it. I can hear him in his room on his computer. I'll talk to him from my office across the hall. ''[laughs]'' Full conversations. My wife says I'm... losing my mind. She, uhh, she thinks this city turned him into some devil. I... I never wanted to hurt anyone my whole life. Until we had Ryan. Oh, the love I had for that child. It terrified me. I mean... what would I do if something happened to him? ''[laughs]'' A-and then I-I found what you did and... I can't. I-I-I could leave you here, and you'll rot. But I can't. Why? ''[sighs]'' Why? I want to see my son again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally''': ...so you have your own show? :'''Natalie''': Yeah. :'''Sally''': Hm. What's it about? :'''Natalie''': I play a single mom, I have a cupcake store with my daughter in Central Park. :'''Sally''': What's it called? :'''Natalie''': "Just Desserts". :'''Sally''': So you stole my show. :'''Natalie''': No, it's actually a really important story to me, I-- :'''Sally''': It's not a story... It's a fucking math equation! :'''Natalie''': I'm actually feeling really uncomfortable right now... :'''Sally''': You have ''nothing'' to say about ''anything'', you've never struggled a day in your whole ''fucking life!'' You've-- Nobody's ever put a hand around your fucking neck, this was my story! ''My story!'' You don't even have a fucking daughter! :'''Natalie''': Neither do you, Sally! :''[Sally roars, slamming her hand against the wall.]'' :'''Sally''': You are nothing without me! You are NOTHING! Nobody-- Stupid piece of ''shit''! I brought you into the fold, and this is how you ''fucking betray me?!'' :'''Natalie''': I moved your carrots for you! :'''Sally''': You entitled ''CUNT!'' '''''YOU ENTITLED FUCKING CUNT!''''' YOU ''ENTITLED'' '''''FUCKING CUNT!''''' You entitled ''fucking'' cunt! <hr width="50%"/> :'''Fuches''': You ever wonder why Chris, who never saw combat, was basically a computer geek, would even ''have'' PTSD? Oh, he loved Sharon and Theo, they were his whole world. Why would he take himself out, knowing something like that would fuck them up for life? Well, that, uh, switch you saw go off when Barry was "avenging" you? I harnessed that into a very lucrative job for him. One day, I sent Barry out on a mission, went sideways, and, well, Chris... He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Saw some shit he shouldn't have. Y'know, Barry still participates in those charity runs that Sharon does in Chris's memory? Barry's a good guy. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sally''': My show. Is me, Lindsay.

Well, they call me 'hero', but I don't like putting labels on things. You wanna keep that in your room? :''[John nods.]'' :'''Barry:''' You know... I found out some, uh, interesting stuff about our buddy, [[w: Abraham Lincoln|Abe Lincoln]]. [[w: Dakota War of 1862|Turns out he had a bunch of Native Americans killed.

And I heard them shout my name. "Medic! Medic! Get up here!" So, I ran up there, and when I found him, he was all messed up. He looked terrible. And they told me, they said, "Clark, he's a goner." And I said, "Not on my watch." And I patched him up. And I saved his life. :'''John:''' Did you kill the guys who shot him? :'''Barry:''' No, no, no. No, my job was to protect our boys.

It's Pastor Nick San Angelo again! And on today's podcast, we're gonna talk about how murder is definitely not a sin. Now, the Bible is filled with tons of righteous and justified killings. Most of them are my favorite part of the book! But how are you supposed to know in your own life when it's okay to use violence? Well, as many of you know, I was an enforcer for the Rockford Ice Hawks, and in 1997, I was sentenced to 10 years for killing Billy Zarillo in an exhibition game. Since then, people have been surprised about my general lack of guilt around this incident. I just tell 'em, "it's because it was done within my faith." Now, what does that mean? It means, I prayed about it and I looked for God's signs. If you go back and watch the replay, you'll see Zarillo check my teammate, Mark Flanagan, putting him in the hospital. This pissed me off. This gave me an intense feeling that I knew was a sign from God saying, "You got My blessing, Nicky." :'''Barry:''' Bingo! === ''a nice meal'' [4.07] === :'''Barry:''' Lord, please watch over me, and fill me with Your courage and grace. Please watch over my son, John, and fill his heart with his Daddy's love... :'''Jim Moss:''' So you're a man of God now? :'''Barry:''' Please take away all his nightmares and give him good sleep... :'''Jim:''' You think, because you've repented, you get to ''choose'' where you're gonna go after you die? :'''Barry:''' And give his mother the strength to look over him... :'''Jim Moss:''' You know where you're going. And you're afraid. :'''Barry:''' I just want my boy to be safe! Why are you showing me this? :'''Jim Moss:''' I'm not showing you anything.

Your dad... well, he escaped prison and I ran away with him. :'''John:''' Why was he in prison? :'''Sally:''' Because he killed a lot of people. :'''John:''' Because he was a soldier? :'''Sally:''' No. Because he was a murderer. And I'm a murderer, too. I killed a man, and... I deserve whatever happens to me. But you don't. You... You're a good kid. You always do the right thing.

And I fancied myself a mentor, fostering other men's natural abilities, but it wasn't until I was in prison and I got beaten within an inch of my life day after day that I finally dropped the bullshit... and just accepted who I am: a man with no heart. :'''Hank''': I am nothing like you, Fuches. You are a weak, pathetic, manipulative little man. :'''Fuches:''' New deal: I walk away right now, you'll never hear from me again. All you have to do... is admit that you killed Cristobal. Admit that you fucked up. Admit that you were scared. That you hate yourself, that there’s some days you don’t think you deserve to live.

I don't think that's what God wants for me. I went in there tonight, prepared to die, and for some reason, He spared me. Honey... I've been redeemed. :'''Sally:''' The only way to be redeemed is by taking responsibility for what you did.

''[clears throat]'' Thanks for that trip down memory lane. <hr width=50%> :'''Daphne''': Um... exactly how many more play by play Scooby Snack attacks do we have to endure before WWE City? :'''Shaggy''': Like, we brought everything we had. Scooby and I need to keep our energy up so we can cheer like crazy at the main event. :'''Velma''': There's so many boxes, I can't even see the luggage. :'''Shaggy''': Luggage? :'''Both''': You didn't pack the luggage?! :'''Scooby-Doo''': Uh-oh! :'''Daphne''': Of all the food induced insane things you two have done, this absolutely takes the cake. :'''Both''': Mmm... cake! :'''Daphne''': I mean it! :'''Shaggy''': Like, what's the big deal?

But sadly, your Uncle Cookie never got the glory. :'''Daphne''': And his injury put him out of the spotlight. :'''Fred''': Permanently. :'''Daphne''': He started to truly resent WWE because he knew he could never be the champion he always dreamed of being. :'''Velma''': That resentment grew into hatred over the years, as he trained others to be what he could not. :'''Fred''': That's when he developed his plan for revenge. :''[Flashbacks show Cookie in a suit of the Ghost Bear, scenes of Scooby stealing the belt and the chaos from throughout the movie]'' :'''Daphne''': But that wouldn't be enough. He needed a pawn to steal the championship belt. :'''Velma''': That's when he devised the idea of hacking into a video game and placing post-hypnotic suggestions into it. :'''Daphne''': That game would become part of a contest, which Cookie set up with fake emails he sent throughout WWE. :'''Velma''': That's why he used the bear to attack your video game studio. To cover his tracks. :'''Fred''': The contest assured that only the most skilled pawn would arrive at WWE City to aid in the theft. Cookie then used flashing lights to activate Scooby's post-hypnotic programming. :'''Daphne''': When Cookie identified the belt in Scooby's bed as the ''championship'' belt, he was lying. He'd already switched them. :'''Velma''': With Scooby taking the blame, Cookie was free to carry out his ultimate plan. :'''Fred''': Which was to turn out the lights, and with the help of the bear, create so much panic and injury... :''[The Ghost Bear runs toward our view. Back in reality]'' :'''Fred''': ...That WrestleMania would be completely ruined and WWE would never recover. :'''John''': But thanks to Fred here, we got the lights back on pretty quick. Good work! :''[He hits Fred's back with his hand]'' :'''Fred''': Ah, um, thanks. :''[Daphne puts her hand on Fred's shoulder]'' :'''McMahon''': And the real championship belt, where is it now? :'''Velma''': Elementary, Mr. McMahon. Cookie is wearing it. :''[John opens the Ghost Bear suit's chest and pulls the real championship belt off Cookie]'' :'''John''': Sorry, Cookie. The championship belt isn't for cheaters, it's for champions. :''[He raises his hand showing the championship belt to the cheering crowd. Richards faces McMahon]'' :'''Richards''': Good call, hiring these kids, sir. I thought they might come in handy. :'''McMahon''': ''[annoyed]'' Just get Cookie out of here! :'''Richards''': ''[scared]'' Yes, sir. Will do, sir. You bet. :''[She motions the officers as if to say, "Take him away, boys."]'' :'''Velma''': A championship belt was the icing on the cake, Mr. McMahon. Cookie could live off its golden jewels for the rest of his life. :''[As John gives McMahon the belt, the crowd boos Cookie as he is taken into custody]'' :'''Cookie''': ''[last words, enraged]'' And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids, and your game crazy dog! ==Cast== * [[Frank Welker]] — [[Scooby-Doo]], [[w:Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred Jones]] * [[w:Mindy Cohn|Mindy Cohn]] — [[Velma Dinkley]] * [[w:Grey Griffin|Grey Griffin]] — [[Daphne Blake]] * [[w:Matthew Lillard|Matthew Lillard]] — [[Shaggy Rogers]] * [[Charlie Dutton]] — Cookie * [[Fred Tatasciore]] — Ghost Bear * [[Mary McCormack]] — Ms. Richards * [[John Cena]] — Himself * [[A.J.

Impressive. :'''Jasmine''': Yes. She is not allowed to leave the castle. You think that’s impressive. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jafar''': ''[mimics the Sultan]'' "Remember your place, Jafar." :'''Iago''': Remember your place. :'''Jafar''': If I hear that one more time... :'''Iago''': Sorry, Master. <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aladdin rubs the lamp and the Genie comes out of it]'' :'''Genie''': Oh, great one who summons me!

Help me out here, where's your boss? :''[Aladdin stays silent, still in awe at the Genie]'' :'''Genie''': If I was gonna talk to myself, I coulda just stayed in the lamp. Hello! :'''Aladdin''': Um... :'''Genie''': Use your big boy voice. :'''Aladdin''': I'm talking to a smoking blue giant? :'''Genie''': No! I am not a giant. I am a genie! There's a difference. Giants are not real. Where's your boss? :'''Aladdin''': Um, my boss? :'''Genie''': Look, kid, I've been doing this a long time, all right? There's always a guy, you know. He's cheated somebody or buried somebody or... I mean, you get my point. Where's that guy? :'''Aladdin''': I know that guy. He's outside. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cave''': Only one may enter here.

Sort of the problem with the genie life. Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space. :'''Aladdin''': ''(holds up the lamp)'' So, is this magic, or are you magic? :'''Genie''': Eh, kind of a package deal. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Sultan''': ''[after Aladdin breaks Jafar's staff from his spell]'' What happened? :'''Aladdin''': He had you under his spell. :'''Jafar''': He's not to be trusted. Your Majesty. :'''Aladdin''': He wants your throne. :'''Sultan''': Jafar, you were my most trusted advisor! Hakim! Put him in the dungeon! :''[Hakim and his guards take Jafar away and lock him in the dungeon]'' :'''Jafar''': You should think about how quickly the sands of power shift in the storm, Hakim. :'''Hakim''': I am loyal to my sultan. As you should have been. The law is the law. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Genie''': So, you got the girl. I mean, trust me, I had my doubts after your whole jam debacle. But, you pulled yourself back together a little bit. :'''Aladdin''': I did, didn't I? I think I finally got the hang of being a prince. :'''Genie''': Oh, well, that's not exactly what I meant... :'''Aladdin''': But you were right. People see what they want to see. Aladdin is gone. I'm Prince Ali now. :'''Genie''': Wow. Got it all figured now, huh, kid? :'''Aladdin''': And you know, I was thinking about my last wish, and I just...I can't do this without you. I know I told you I'd use it to set you free, but you heard the Sultan. I can't let everything that we've worked for fall apart. :'''Genie''': ''[hurt]'' So... you just never tell her the truth? You're gonna keep living the lie? :'''Aladdin''': It's not a lie. People can change. :'''Genie''': Heh, oh they can change, all right. :'''Aladdin''': ''[angry]'' And that's a bad thing? Everything's better now. No one got hurt. You'd rather me be back on the streets stealing to survive? I... thought you'd be happy me. But all you cared about was that I use my last wish to set you free. :'''Genie''': ''[shocked]'' Wow. Kid, I don't care nothin' about that wish. This is about you. What's happening to you. You'd rather lie to someone you love than give all this up. :'''Aladdin''': You don't get it, Genie. People like me don't get anything except by pretending. :'''Genie''': I think, maybe, you don't get it. The more you gain by pretending, the less you're actually gonna have. In 10,000 years, I have never once, ever... called a master a friend. I broke the rules for you. I saved your life… and for what? You are breaking my heart here, kid. You're breaking my heart. ''[goes back inside his lamp]'' :'''Aladdin''': Genie, no. Hey, come on! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Aladdin rushes into the palace to grab the lamp.]'' :'''Iago''': Prince Ali! :''[Jafar freezes Aladdin in place]'' :'''Jafar''': If it isn't our Prince Ali. :'''Jasmine''': Ali! :'''Jafar''': Or should I say... ''[teleports Aladdin in front of without and removes his prince outfit]'' ...Aladdin? :'''Jasmine''': ''[shocked]'' Aladdin? :'''Jafar''': He's been pretending the entire time. An imposter. There is no Prince Ali. There never was. He's nothing but a lying thief. :'''Aladdin''': I'm sorry. :'''Jafar''': You're insignificant. An irritation I no longer need to tolerate, once, I ensure your agonizing death by...banishing you to the ends of the Earth. ''[teleports Aladdin and Abu to the snowy ends of the Earth]'' :'''Aladdin''': '''NO!''' :'''Jafar''': I could simply kill you all. But that would be inadequate repayment for years of humiliation and neglect. "Remember your place, Jafar." "You forget yourself, Jafar." :'''Sultan''': Jafar. :'''Jafar''': No. What you need, Baba, is to suffer. Like I have suffered. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Jafar''': As the old man said, "You should have left Agrabah when you had the chance." I told you before to think bigger. You could have been the most powerful man in the room. But now, I hold the lamp. I hold the power. :'''Aladdin''': You can’t find what you’re looking for in that lamp, Jafar. I tried and failed, and so will you. :'''Jafar''': You think so? But I am Sultan! I am the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen. I will create an empire that history cannot ignore. I can destroy cities. I can destroy kingdoms. And I can destroy you. :'''Aladdin''': True. But who made you a sultan? Who made you a sorcerer? There will always be some thing, some man, some being more powerful than you. :'''Genie''': What are you doing? :'''Aladdin''': Genie gave you your power, and he can take it away. :'''Jafar''': He serves me. :'''Aladdin''': For now. But you'll never have more power than the Genie. You said it yourself. You're either the most powerful in the room, or you're nothing. You'll always be second. :'''Iago''': Second. Second. ''[squawks, then cackles]'' :'''Jafar''': Second?! Only second?! He serves me! I will make sure no one will ever say these words again! Genie, for my final wish, I wish to become the most powerful being in the universe! More powerful than you! :'''Genie''': A lot of gray area in that wish. But, uh, the most powerful being in the universe, coming right up! :''[Genie transforms Jafar into a genie]'' :'''Jafar''': ''[laughs maniacally]'' The most powerful in the universe! At last! Second to no one! And I thought I had power before! First, I'll lay waste to those fools in Sherabad. ''[tries to use his magic to attack Sherabad, his shackles instantly appear]'' What have you done to me? :'''Aladdin''': I haven't done anything to you, Jafar. :'''Jafar''': '''''What have you done to me?!''''' :'''Aladdin''': This was your wish, not mine. A genie might have phenomenal cosmic powers... :'''Genie''': But an itty-bitty living space. You see, a genie - without a master - goes back in their lamp. :''[Jafar's own lamp appears and starts to suck him inside]'' :'''Jafar''': I will not forget you, boy! Mark my words. I will not forget what you have done to me! :'''Iago''': Goodbye, Jafar! :'''Jafar''': '''''PARROT, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!''''' ''[he grabs Iago as he gets sucked into his lamp]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Aladdin''': Okay. :'''Genie''': Last wish. :'''Aladdin''': Genie. :'''Genie''': I'm ready, hold on, here we go... :'''Aladdin''': I wish... :'''Genie''': Third and final wish. :'''Aladdin''': I wish… to set you free. :'''Genie''': ...What? ''[his magical cuffs unlock and dissolve away, and he becomes human]'' Wait. Am I...? Uh, tell-tell me to do something. :'''Aladdin''': Uh... get me some jams. :'''Genie''': ...Get it yourself? ''[nothing happens]'' Get your own jams! ''[Aladdin embraces him]'' Thank you. Thank you. :'''Aladdin''': No. Thank you, Genie. I owe you everything. <hr width="50%"/> :''[last lines]'' :'''Jasmine''': Stop, thief! Your sultan commands it! :'''Aladdin''': Sultan?

A moment the country needs – and has been waiting for. And where, by the force of our democracy power returns to you. A chance to change for the better. Your future. Your community. Your country. It will feel like a long campaign – I’m sure of that. But no matter what else is said and done. That opportunity for change is what this election is about. Over the course of the last four years – we have changed the Labour Party. Returned it once more to the service of working people. All we ask now – humbly – is to do exactly the same for our country. And return Britain to the service of working people. To that purpose. We offer three reasons why you should change Britain with Labour.<br><br>One – because we will stop the chaos. Look around our country. The sewage in our rivers. People waiting on trolleys in A&E. Crime virtually unpunished. Mortgages and food prices – through the roof. It’s all – every bit of it – a direct result of the Tory chaos in Westminster. Time and again, they pursue their own interests. Rather than tackling the issues that affect your family. And if they get another five years, they will feel entitled to carry on exactly as they are. Nothing will change. A vote for Labour is a vote for stability – economic and political. A politics that treads more lightly on all our lives. A vote to stop the chaos.<br><br>Two – because it’s time for change. Our offer is to reset both our economy and our politics. So that they once again serve the interests of working people. We totally reject the Tory view that economic strength is somehow gifted from those at the top. Over the past fourteen years – through all the crises we have had to face – sticking with this idea has left our country exposed, insecure and unable to unlock the potential of every community. But a vote for Labour is a vote to turn the page on all that. A vote for change.<br><br>And finally, three – because we have a long-term plan to rebuild Britain. A plan that is ready to go. Fully-costed and fully funded. We can deliver economic stability. Cut the NHS waiting times. Secure our borders with a New Border Security Command. Harness Great British Energy to cut your bills for good. Tackle anti-social behaviour. And get the teachers we need in your children’s classroom.<br><br>But most of importantly of all, we do all this with a new spirit of service. Country first, party second. A rejection of the gesture politics you will see in this campaign, I have no doubt from the Tories and from the SNP. I am well aware of the cynicism people hold towards politicians at the moment. But I came into politics late, having served our country as leader of the Crown Prosecution Service. And I helped the Police Service in Northern Ireland to gain the consent of all communities. Service of our country is the reason – and the only reason – why I am standing here now – asking for your vote. And I believe with patience, determination and that commitment to service there is so much pride and potential we can unlock across our country. So – here it is – the future of the country – in your hands. On 4th July you have the choice. And together, we can stop the chaos. We can turn the page. We can start to rebuild Britain. And change our country. Thank you.<br> * Responding to the [[w:2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 election]] being called. [https://labour.org.uk/updates/press-releases/keir-starmer-delivering-a-speech-on-the-announcement-of-the-uk-general-election/ "Keir Starmer delivering a speech on the announcement of the UK General Election"], ''Labour.org'' (22 May 2024) </blockquote> <blockquote>Now, this week is the 80th anniversary of [[w:Normandy landings|D-Day]], so I want to start by remembering the bravery of those soldiers who sailed from the South of England to the beaches of France. The individual courage and the collective strength of our troops whose sacrifice that day turned the tide of the Second World War, brought liberation to Europe, and secured our freedom. This week and every week – we will remember them. And we will honour them. Some gave their lives so we could live freely. Others returned home to build a new Britain. We salute those who remain with us today and keep the memory of their fallen comrades alive. And we recognise with one voice, as a nation, that our debt can never be paid in full.<br><br>But of course – we can honour their sacrifice with our decisions today. And we must. Because sadly, the world we live in today is perhaps more dangerous and volatile than at any time since then, and frankly, for my generation, that’s a shock. I mean, I remember vividly the day the [[w:Fall of the Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall came down]] in 1989. I remember how I felt. A sense of freedom, of possibility, of peace. European countries once again free to choose their own futures, new allegiances being made, friendships forged out of the scars of war. And above all, a sense – as the wall came down – nothing like that could happen again. An end of an era.<br><br>I didn't think that in my lifetime I would see Russian tanks entering a European country again. The rumble of war rolling across our continent, soldiers kissing their children goodbye, desperate families fleeing across European borders in search of safety. But in that moment, as we saw those pictures from Kyiv, I understood. The post-war era is over and a new age of insecurity has begun. An era where the burden of history – for people and nations will once again, be heavier on our backs. National security is the most important issue of our times. Something which, of course, is always true, and which for us, if we are privileged to serve our country, will become our solemn responsibility.<br><br>That’s not something I say lightly: the security and defence of our nation is personal to my family. Like so many families, I have relatives who served in the second world war. My mum's brother, my uncle Roger, served in the [[w:Falklands War|Falklands]] on [[w:HMS Antelope (F170)|HMS Antelope]]. And I remember the terrible wait when his ship was bombed. My mum’s fear as she sat by the radio every day, listening for news, and then the relief, a long week later, when we found out he had survived. So I know the courage, the service, and the sacrifice that allows us to sleep soundly at night from our forces and their families. I know it. I respect it. And I will serve it – with every decision. It is part of my story, and the reason why I said – from day one of my leadership – that the Labour Party had to change. Change for a purpose. To respect your service, face the future in this dangerous world, and above all – to keep Britain safe. That is why, with my changed Labour Party, national security will always come first. That’s a message I took to Kyiv last year when I visited [[Volodymyr Zelenskyy|President Zelensky]]. A pledge of unwavering British support in the face of Russian tyranny. But we have to be resolute, not just in our support for Ukraine but also – in this era, at home. We must face down malign actors who try to attack and weaken our nation, and not just through traditional warfare over air, land and sea, but with hybrid threats – to our energy supply, cyber security, information warfare.<br><br> Now – I would prefer if politics were kept out of this issue – even at this election. Throughout the whole of this Parliament. I have deliberately not been partisan over issues of national security. Yet just before this election, the Tories questioned this Labour Party's commitment to national security. And I will not let that stand. The people of Britain need to know that their leaders will keep them safe – and we will. Furthermore, the truth is that after 14 years of the Tories, we are less safe and less secure. You don't have to take my word for it. The Tory's own former defence secretary says the government has failed to take defence seriously. We have the smallest army since the time of Napoleon, at a time when other countries are firmly on a war footing. So – even as we work tirelessly for peace, we have to be fit to fight. So let me be unequivocal. This Labour Party is totally committed to the security of our nation. To our armed forces. And, importantly, to our nuclear deterrent.<br><br> Just a few weeks ago I visited BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness. I was the first Labour leader to visit in 30 years. I saw the nuclear submarines being made. I saw an industry that supports the local community and I met workers who are proud to be doing their bit for our national security. They deserve our full support, and they will get it. The nuclear deterrent is the foundation of any plan to keep Britain safe – it is essential. That's why Labour has announced a new triple-lock commitment to our nuclear deterrent. We'll maintain Britain’s Continuous at Sea deterrent 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Deliver all the needed future upgrades and we will build four new nuclear submarines like the ones I saw in Barrow. That won't just keep us safe, it will also support good jobs and growth across the UK. One of my first visits after I became leader of the Labour Party was to Plymouth, the frontline of defence in this country. Devonport alone employs 2,500 service people and civilians, it supports 400 local businesses, and it generates around 10% of Plymouth’s income. And when I was there, I met the shipbuilding apprentices – talented, ambitious young people. And I looked them in the eye and promised that I would fight for the future of Plymouth’s defence industry. And I will. Because it's only by harnessing and supporting the strength of proud communities like Plymouth, Barrow, Aldershot, and so many more, that means we can safeguard our security and our growth for the decades to come. I mean look at Ukraine now. Industrial capacity is an absolutely critical part of security. So with Labour, Britain will be fit to fight.<br><br> Within the first year of a Labour government, we will carry out a new strategic defence review. And we're absolutely committed to spending 2.5% of GDP on defence as soon as possible, because we know our security isn't just vital for our safety today, it's absolutely central to our success for the future. National security and economic security must go hand in hand. And we also know that playing our part on the world stage makes us stronger and better off at home.<br><br> So make no mistake: I am absolutely committed to rebuilding relationships with our allies. I went to the Munich Security Conference back in February, I met with world leaders from the US, Europe and the Middle East and I met the Secretary General of NATO. And I pledged to each of them that with a Labour government, the UK would be a point of stability in a chaotic world, that we would always meet our international obligations, take our responsibilities seriously and be a leader on the world stage once more. Because when I spoke about D-Day at the beginning I wasn't just talking about respect for our past, I was thinking about our future as well. Because that is the best example of what cooperation can achieve in the face of fascism and aggression. Our joint endeavour, our shared values, our common respect for freedom, democracy, liberty, that's what we were fighting for and that fight never stops. There is a narrative you see sometimes that our values are a point of weakness. That’s what [[Vladimir Putin|Putin]] thinks. But he's wrong. Ukraine has shown that, and we must be prepared to stand up as well, because those values are our cause and our strength.<br><br> Let me be clear. This is not a party-political issue, this is a national issue. It affects every single individual, every community, and Labour will always put our country first. We will serve working people across our nation, and respect our armed forces as they continue to protect our country. But on July 4th there is a choice. And you can choose to rebuild a country that is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with European allies, that leads the way in standing up for our values and our freedom, all around the world, and that will never shy away from doing our duty at home and abroad. A stronger, safer, more secure Britain with Labour. That is the choice. It’s time to stop the chaos, time to turn the page and rebuild our country, together. Thank you very much.<br> * From the manifesto launch, as cited in [https://labour.org.uk/updates/press-releases/keir-starmer-a-stronger-safer-more-secure-britain-speech/ "Keir Starmer – A stronger, safer, more secure Britain speech"], Labour Party press release (3 June 2024)</blockquote> * This is a serious plan, carefully thought through.

Change begins now.<br />And it feels good, I have to be honest.<br />Four-and-a-half years of work changing the party. This is what it is for – a changed Labour Party ready to serve our country, ready to restore Britain to the service of working people.<br />And across our country, people will be waking up to the news – relieved that a weight has been lifted, a burden finally removed from the shoulders of this great nation.<br />And now we can look forward again, walk into the morning, the sunlight of hope, pale at first, but getting stronger through the day, shining once again on a country with the opportunity after 14 years to get its future back.<br />And I want to thank each and every one of you here for campaigning so hard for change, and not just in this campaign either – also for these four-and-a-half years changing our party.<br />The Labour movement is always – everything’s achieved past and future – down to the efforts of its people.<br />So thank you truly – you have changed our country.<br />But a mandate like this comes with great responsibility.<br />Our task is nothing less than renewing ideas that hold this country together – national renewal.<br />Whoever you are, wherever you started in life, if you work hard, if you play by the rules, this country should give you a fair chance to get on.<br />It should always respect your contribution and we have to restore that.<br />And alongside that, we have to return politics to public service, show that politics can be a force for good.<br />Make no mistake, that is the great test of politics in this era – the fight for trust is the battle that defines our age.<br />It is why we campaigned so hard on demonstrating we are fit for public service.<br />Service is the pre-condition for hope, respect the bond that can unite a country.<br />Together, the values of this changed Labour Party are the guiding principle for a new government – country first, party second.<br />That is the responsibility of this mandate.<br />You know, 14 years ago, we were told that we're all in it together.<br />I say to the British people today, imagine what we can do if that were actually true.<br />So by all means, enjoy this moment. Nobody can say you haven’t waited patiently.<br />Enjoy the feeling of waking up on a morning like this with the emotion that you do see the country through the same eyes.<br />Hold onto it, because it is what unity is made from, but use it to show to the rest of the country, as we must, that this party has changed, that we will serve them faithfully, govern for every single person in this country.<br />But also don’t forget how we got here.<br />This morning, we can see that the British people have voted to turn the page on 14 years but don’t pretend that there was anything inevitable about that – there’s nothing pre-ordained in politics.<br />Election victories don’t fall from the sky.<br />They’re hard won and hard fought for, and this one could only be won by a changed Labour Party.<br />We have the chance to repair our public services because we’ve changed the party.<br />We have the chance to make work pay because we’ve changed the party.<br />We have the chance to deliver for working people, young people, vulnerable people, the poorest in our society because we’ve changed the party.<br />'Country first, party second' isn’t a slogan – it's the guiding principle (of) everything we have done and must keep on doing – on the economy, on national security, on protecting our borders.<br />The British people have to look us in the eye and see that we can serve their interest and that work doesn’t stop now – it never stops.<br />The changes we've made are permanent, irreversible and we must keep going.<br />We ran as a changed Labour Party and we will govern as a changed Labour Party.<br />I don't promise you it will be easy. Changing a country's not like flicking a switch, it's hard work, patient work, determined work, and we will have to get moving immediately.<br />But even when the going gets tough, and it will, remember, tonight and always, what this is all about.<br />Now I may have mentioned my parents a few times in this campaign – once or twice – but the sense of security we had, the comfort they took from believing that Britain would always be better for their children, the hope, not high-minded, not idealistic, but a hope that working-class families like mine could build their lives around.<br />It is hope that may not burn brightly in Britain at the moment, but we have earned the mandate to relight the fire. That is the purpose of this party and of this Government.<br />We said we would end the chaos and we will. We said we would turn the page and we have. Today we start the next chapter, begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country.<br />Thank you. ** Speech after winning a landslide victory (5 July 2024) * I call again for...the return of the sausages. ** Speech at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool (22 September 2024) <!-- Quoted in Peter Hitchens, "The Disguise of Dullness", ''The American Conservative'' (22 October 2024) --> ** He quickly corrected his malapropism ('hostages' not 'sausages') * I am clear that [[Israel]] has the right to defend itself against [[Iranian]] aggression.

Our work is urgent, and we begin it today.]] * I have just returned from [[w:Buckingham Palace|Buckingham Palace]], where I accepted an invitation from [[Charles III|His Majesty the King]] to form the next government of this great nation.<br />I want to thank the outgoing Prime Minister, [[Rishi Sunak]]. His achievement as the first British Asian Prime Minister of our country — the extra effort that that will have required — should not be underestimated by anyone.<br />We pay tribute to that today, and we also recognise the dedication and hard work he brought to his leadership. But now our country has voted decisively for change, for national renewal and a return of politics to public service. * When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big, it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation, a draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future — that we need to move forward together. Now this wound, this lack of trust, can only be healed by actions, not words.<br />I know that, but we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect. If you voted Labour yesterday, we will carry the responsibility of your trust as we rebuild our country.<br />But whether you voted Labour or not — in fact, especially if you did not — I say to you directly, my government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good. We will show that. We’ve changed the Labour Party, returned it to service — and that is how we will govern, country first party second. * Yet, if I am honest, service is merely a precondition of hope, and it is surely clear to everyone that our country needs a bigger reset, a rediscovery of who we are. Because no matter how fierce the storms of history, one of the great strengths of this nation has always been our ability to navigate away to calmer waters.<br />And yet this depends upon politicians, particularly those who stand for stability and moderation — as I do — recognising when we must change course. For too long now, we turned a blind eye as millions slid into greater insecurity.<br />Nurses, builders, drivers, carers, people doing the right thing, working harder every day, recognised at moments like this before, yet, as soon as the cameras stop rolling, their lives are ignored. I want to say very clearly to those people — not this time. * Changing a country is not like flicking a switch. The world is now a more volatile place. This will take a while.<br />But have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately. Have no doubt that we will rebuild Britain with wealth created in every community. * Brick by brick, we will rebuild the infrastructure of opportunity, the world class schools and colleges, the affordable homes that I know are the ingredients of hope for working people, the security that working class families like mine can build their lives around.<br />Because if I asked you now whether you believe that Britain will be better for your children, I know too many of you would say no, and so my government will fight every day until you believe again.<br />From now on, you have a government unburdened by doctrine guided only by the determination to serve your interest, to defy, quietly, those who have written our country off. * You have given us a clear mandate, and we will use it to deliver change. To restore service and respect to politics, end the era of noisy performance, tread more lightly on your lives and unite our country.<br />Four nations standing together again, facing down as we have so often in our past, the challenges of an insecure world committed to a calm and patient rebuilding. So with respect and humility, I invite you all to join this government of service in the mission of national renewal. Our work is urgent, and we begin it today. ===2025=== [[File:Donald Trump leaving Airforce One with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer on 28 July 2025 in Scotland.jpg|thumb|Starmer with [[Donald Trump]]]] * He’s a true one-off, a pioneer in business, in politics.

Without a DIP that meets the moment in this way, I am being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our Forces and increase the risk to personnel on operations, and could make the country less safe.{{br}}After explaining to you that I would not be able to accept a DIP settlement that does not give our Forces the resources they need, I am now left with no other option than to submit my resignation as your Defence Secretary. ** {{w|John Healey|John Healey's}} resignation letter, quoted in [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgjx64yl7z9o "Defence Secretary John Healey's resignation letter in full"], ''BBC News'' (11 June 2026) * Has Britain elected a bumbling nobody to the highest office in the land? Or does his dullness conceal a driving purpose? * The worst mistake of political conservatives in the western world has been to refuse to understand and examine the length, breadth, depth, and height of the post-1968 left in Europe and North America. If you do not know what you are fighting, you will never find out why you are fighting, or how you should fight it. By becoming dull, and by speaking in code, the revolution has overwhelmed those who would have fought it with all their might if it had appeared in the guise of the Bolsheviks or the Jacobins. ** Peter Hitchens, [https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-disguise-of-dullness/ "The Disguise of Dullness"], ''The American Conservative'' (22 October 2024) * If you want a culture wars warrior, Starmer is not your man. If you want a radical socialist who seeks to overturn capitalism, Starmer is not your man. If you want an entertainer, a comedian, a tweeter, Starmer is not your man. If you want to rerun previous leaders, [[Harold Wilson|Wilson]] or [[Tony Blair|Blair]], or someone who runs an agile team firing on all cylinders, sorry, Starmer is not your man. But if you want a leader who might start to heal the sinews of an enfeebled state and anaemic economy, and who will work in the interests of the relatively powerless, then he may very well be who we need. ** [[Andrew Marr]], [https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/labour/2024/02/keir-starmers-thirst-for-power "Keir Starmer's thirst for power"], ''The New Statesman'' (21 February 2024) * On 5 July, either Keir Starmer or I will be Prime Minister. He has shown time and time again that he will take the easy way out and do anything to get power. If he was happy to abandon all the promises he made to become Labour leader once he got the job, how can you know that he won't do exactly the same thing if he were to become Prime Minister? If you don't have the conviction to stick to anything you say, if you don't have the courage to tell people what you want to do, and if you don't have a plan, how can you possibly be trusted to lead our country, especially at this most uncertain of times? ** [[Rishi Sunak]] (22 May 2024) announcing the 2024 United Kingdom general election [https://news.sky.com/story/rishi-sunaks-full-speech-announcing-general-election-on-4-july-13141431 "Rishi Sunak's full speech announcing general election on 4 July"] * Whilst he has been my political opponent, Sir Keir Starmer will shortly become our Prime Minister. In this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, he is a decent, public-spirited man, who I respect. He and his family deserve the very best of our understanding, as they make the huge transition to their new lives behind this door, and as he grapples with this most demanding of jobs in an increasingly unstable world. ** Rishi Sunak (5 July 2024); from a speech in Downing Street shortly before tendering his resignation to [[Charles III]]. As cited in [https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/i-will-resign-as-conservative-leader/ "Full text: I will resign as Conservative leader"], ''The Spectator'' (5 July 2024). * You have many great strengths that I admire. You led our party to a {{w|2024 United Kingdom general election|victory}} few thought possible in 2024 and I was proud to fight alongside you in the trenches of that campaign. You have shown courage and statesmanship on the world stage - not least in keeping Britain out of the war in Iran.{{Pb}}But where we need vision, we have a vacuum. Where we need direction, we have drift. This was underscored by your speech on Monday. Leaders take responsibility, but too often that has meant other people falling on their swords. You also need to listen to your colleagues, including backbenchers, and the heavy-handed approach to dissenting voices diminishes our politics. ** {{w|Wes Streeting}} resignation letter quoted in [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwy21gpr1kzt "Andy Burnham to try to run for Parliament after Labour MP says he'll stand down for him"], ''BBC News'' (14 May 2026) * This is not [[Winston Churchill]] that we're dealing with. ** [[Donald Trump]] quoted in [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62gwkjg0k9o "Trump says Starmer is 'no Winston Churchill' over Iran strikes"], ''BBC News'' (3 March 2026) == External links == {{wikipedia}} {{Wikisource author}} {{Commons category}} * {{official website|https://keirstarmer.com}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Starmer, Keir}} [[Category:1962 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Labour Party (UK) politicians]] [[Category:Lawyers from England]] [[Category:People from London]] [[Category:University of Oxford alumni]] [[Category:Leaders of the Opposition (United Kingdom)]] [[Category:Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom]] 5d3nm7bv5kvvs14i5og6h4imx632dmf Walky Talky Hawky 0 217234 3951748 3716928 2026-06-11T17:05:35Z UDScott 4304 3951748 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Walky Talky Hawky|Walky Talky Hawky]]''''' is a 1946 American animated short film from [[w:Warner Bros.|Warner Bros.]] released in 1946 and directed by [[w:Robert McKimson|Robert McKimson]].

I don't like it! Please. ''[sniffles]'' Can we just go inside, please? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Charlie''': Day one-- talked to a [[w:Parrot|parrot]] and saw... 23 [[w:Orangutan|orangutans]]. Lola, when are you going to tidy your side of the camp? :'''Lola''': Not now, Charlie. :'''Charlie''': Where are you going? :'''Lola''': Foraging. :'''Charlie''': Foraging for what?

Okay. Bye, Lotta's mum. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lola''': And now I was wondering if you would like maybe to come upstairs and do some coloring with me. :'''Morton''': Oh, no! I can't, Lola. I've got to go to the vet with my mum. She says Sizzles has got bad breath. :''[Sizzles barks]'' :'''Lola and Morton''': '''EWW!''' :'''Morton''': It's smelly. Sorry. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lola''': Where are you hiding? :'''Soren Lorenson''': I'm in the cave. Can't you see me? :'''Lola''': Of course I can see you, Soren Lorenson! Come out.

It's really, really, really old. :'''Lola''': Did it come from Granny's garden? Granny's very, very old. She's older than even 25. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lola''': So how did a fosskil get into the stone? :'''Charlie''': Fossil, Lola. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lotta''': Lola, do you think we can start a fossil collection together, you and me? :'''Lola''': Yes, Lotta. I think that is an extremely and good idea. :'''Lotta''': So do I. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lotta''': A fossil of a... :'''Lola''': ..fish! :'''Lotta''': Yes!

Someone completely else, who's never come to tea before. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mini''': A skipping rope made of lovely and pretty beads. :'''Lola''': Ooh. :'''Mini''': You know, Lola, only actual queens skip with skipping ropes made out of beads. :'''Lola''': Lotta will love our queen skipping rope made all out of beads. :'''Mini''': We can show her at school. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lola''': Okay, what about "Sorry, I can't come to your house for tea 'cause my fish is ever so not well." :'''Lotta''': But you don't have a fish, Lola. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mini''': You were invited to a real space party?! Why didn't you go? :'''Lola''': Because if I went to Marv's party, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be able to do beads with you. :'''Mini''': Oh.

'Cause they are really boring. :'''Lola''': ''[showing Charlie a Christmas card]'' That is my card for Lotta. :'''Charlie''': That's really nice, Lola. What is it? :'''Lola''': It's "Away in a Manger" with [[w:Christ Child|Baby Jesus]]. Lotta really likes that song, especially the bit where the cattle are lowing. Uh...

We can post our letter to Father Christmas on our way to school tomorrow! <hr width="50%"/> :''[Lola finds out Lotta had received her letter to Father Christmas by mistake.]'' :'''Lola''': Oh, no, Lotta! That's my letter to Father Christmas! And if you have got my letter to Father Christmas, that means Father Christmas won't know about my purse on a string, and he won't know that I really want Granny and Grandpa to come, and he won't bring the special surprise to Charlie!

So, like, you're expected to be one, too, and those are big shoes to fill. ''[as Brian is listening in sadness]'' I mean, the pressure is monumental.

Maybe it's a new species. :'''Daphne''': Do you think it has anything to do with that strange vibration that Scooby and Courage were hearing? :'''Velma''': It could be. There's definitely something strange going on here. And Scooby and Courage might be picking up sounds that our human ears can't hear. :'''Muriel''': Oh, my! Sounds so interesting. How would you know, dear? :'''Velma''': Well, we humans hear in a range roughly from 31 hertz to 19 kilohertz. Whereas dogs hear in range from 44 hertz to 64 kilohertz. So if I adjust my tablet to pick up any higher levels of sound vibration, we might be able to see what they're actually hearing. :'''Muriel''': Oh, goodness. The things you say.

Let's go. :'''Courage''': Mm-hmm. :'''Velma''': Well, maybe the mayor can give us some clues as to why so many weird things are happening here in Nowhere. :'''Eustace''': ''[walks out of the front door and exclaims in disgust when he sees the Mystery Machine] I'm'' driving. I'm not riding with you kooky teens. You make me sick! :'''Muriel''': That's a splendid idea. Eustace, why don't you take the two dogs in your truck? They'll love it.

Thanks to you, of course, tablet-device. :'''Velma's Tablet''': Too kind, old-school computer. <hr width="50%"> :'''Daphne''': Now, let's see who this Cicada Monster ''really'' is. ''[unmasks the Cicada Queen, revealing...]'' :'''Everyone''': The Mayor?! :'''Muriel''': But, why would you do all these horrible things? Naughty boy. :'''Velma''': I fear we're lookin' at someone more sinister and untrustworthy than a politician, if there '''''is''''' such a thing. Hey, Muriel, I've got one for you. When is a mayor not a mayor? :'''Muriel''': Oh, I-I don't think I know that one. :'''Velma''': Then let me show you. ''[opens the mayor's chest, revealing it to be a robot disguise controlled by Courage's two enemies: Katz and Le Quack]'' :'''Daphne''': (''gasps'') And they are…? :'''Shaggy''': Yeah. Like who '''''are''''' these strange dudes? :'''Velma''': It's Katz and Le Quack! ''[everyone is confused]'' Remember? From the museum display? :'''Everyone''': ''[realizing]'' Oh. ''[agreeing as Courage hides behind Muriel]'' :'''Velma''': They were operating the mayor costume and they were the ''real'' villains behind all of this. :'''Katz''': I'm Katz, mastermind and evil genius. :'''Le Quack''': And I am Le Quack, world renowned thief of the most highest skill. :'''Velma''': I had my suspicions, but to be honest, a lot of the clues don't make sense. :'''Katz''': If you would allow me to explain how it all happened, it would be my greatest of pleasures. When I, Katz, discovered-- :'''Le Quack''': No, no, no. When I, Le Quack, discovered-- :'''Katz''': ''[sighs]'' When ''we'' discovered that there was a dark matter meteor of intense power, buried somewhere here under Nowhere, we joined forces and worked to get ourselves elected as the mayor. :'''Le Quack''': This gave us the access to all the records of the town. :'''Katz''': Allowing ''us'' to locate the right spot to dig. The power of the dark matter meteor has been affecting everything in Nowhere for millions of years. :'''Le Quack''': Oh, ''oui, oui.'' And it is the exact center of a map of documented weirdness that only seems to affect Nowhere. It is all because of the meteor. ''[points to Courage holding the meteor]'' :'''Courage''': Huh? ''[turns away]'' :'''Katz''': We knew the dark matter meteor held unlimited power and once we found it, we harnessed that power to get rich. :'''Le Quack''': ''Oui, oui. [laughs]'' We made all those silly rich peoples bring their wealth to the farmhouse, which we planned on the collecting of later. :'''Katz''': But when the gang of mystery-solving teens arrived, we needed to up our game. We found the meteor had different effects by adjusting the modulations. When it spins, it emits a frequency that makes people very open to suggestion. It also affects animals in different ways. ''[looks at Scooby and Courage]'' It enabled us to control the giant cicadas to keep you all… out of our business. :'''Le Quack''': Sadly, it did not work so well as we hoped. :'''Katz''': Yes, indeed. We were so close. :'''Le Quack''': We would have been rich. Rich! <hr width="50%"> :'''Le Quack''': And we would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you annoying, meddling teenagers. :'''Lieutenant''': We'll make sure that all the stolen goods are returned to their rightful owners. :'''General''': And we'll take that meteor if you don't mind. <hr width="50%"> :'''Courage''': Well, goodnight folks.

You're back here in a year or two, and, well, I won't. I don't know what happened, but I seem to have gone and gotten very old. I always thought we'd get to be Space Rangers again.

Um… ''[clears throat]'' That was the last mission, Buzz. :'''Buzz''': What? :'''Commander Burnside''': We've decided we gonna go ahead and stay right here. :'''Buzz''': Wait, ''here''? Negative, that is not a viable option. :'''Burnside''': It is now. See, we're building this… Laser shield. It'll keep all the creeters out.

And I was gonna quit after the first week. It was clear I was not space ranger material. :'''Mo''': Really? :'''Buzz''': Yeah. ''[points to Izzy]'' But her grandma saw something in me.

If you're me, I'm thinking of a number between one and… :'''Zurg''': 273. :'''Buzz''': Whoa. :'''Zyclops''': '''''B-Zurg.''''' :'''Zurg''': Isn't that cute? Robots can't quite say "Buzz", so around here, I'm just… Zurg. :'''Zyclops''': '''''B-Zurg.''''' :'''Zurg''': And I guess, so are you. :'''Buzz''': How? I don't understand. :'''Zurg''': Don't worry about it. None of this is going to matter. :'''Future Sox''': Buzz. :'''Zurg and Buzz''': ''[at the same time]'' Yes? :'''Future Sox''': You have to explain it all to him. :'''Zurg''': You're right. I'm sorry, it's just... exciting! You're finally here! See... I reached hyper-speed, too, just like you did. But I wasn't greeted as a hero. No, that new commander was going to arrest me for stealing the XL-15. I found a way to get them home, and they didn't even care! So, I escaped. I went as far as I could as fast as I could. At that speed for that long, I traveled centuries, and I ended up in a future you wouldn't recognize… filled with technology you can't even imagine, and that's when it dawned on me: if we can use this crystal to go forward in time, why not use it to go back? :'''Buzz''': But we can't go back in time. :'''Zurg''': We can now. :'''Buzz''': What? :'''Zurg''': Listen, Buzz, I've broken time. What's happening to you never happened to me. This is a new now that's never been lived. You see we can change things, Buzz. :'''Buzz''': Well, if we can go back in time, we can… We can stop ourselves from ever landing on that planet. :'''Zurg''': From ever hitting that mountain. :'''Buzz''': We can just continue the mission home. :'''Zurg''': And none of this will have ever happened. :'''Both''': It's a good plan. :'''Zurg''': And this crystal is the key to it all. <hr width=50%> :'''Burnside''': All right, team, we've picked up a signal in the Gamma Quadrant of Sector 4. We don't know what it is, but we're not gonna wait for it to invade our home. :'''Buzz''': ''[on locking wrist communicator]'' Copy, Commander. You can count on us.

It chronicles the life of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, a 17-year-old [[W:Slytherin|Slytherin]] goth, and her encounters with numerous unrecognizably altered versions of Harry Potter characters— including a foul-mouthed Dumbledore, a sexually perverted Snape, and a Voldemort who speaks in faux-[[William Shakespeare|Shakespearean]] English. The work is notorious for its extremely poor writing and nonsensical plot and is widely considered to be one of the worst fan fictions ever written.

For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about.

It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days.

Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be?

I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them?

We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens!

I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints.

My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors.

That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy!

''[makes the cars crash into each other and laughs evilly]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[A memory footage shows Young Scissors running down the school hallway, and accidentally rips his pants while crouching down to pick up a piece of paper, showing his underwear and butt crack]'' :'''Young Scissors''': Oh, no! I ripped my pants at school! ''[gets attacked by a Pterodactyl that swooped in]'' :'''Nice Scissors''': That was a bad day. ===''The Family Business / Glitter Bomb [1.18]''=== :'''Rock''': ''[covered in glitter after singing a tune while getting mail]'' What just happened? :'''Scissors''': I think someone sent you a glitter bomb. :'''Rock''': ''[getting angry]'' Do you know how difficult it is to remove glitter? Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah. I guess none of us are funny. '''Scissors''': Not a one of us. ''[the trio sadly stare one by one at the viewer]'' ===''Diapers / R.O.V.E.R. [1.19]''=== :'''Paper''': Scissors, why did you bring us here? This place is awful. :'''Scissors''': Because it's the hottest spot in town. I've got to be seen here to maintain my cool reputation. :'''Paper''': You don't ''have'' a cool reputation. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[after throwing all the diapers into the ocean as they start absorbing]'' Oh, no! I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris. We've dealt with too much noise and agony from all these wacky Rock Paper Scissors shenanigans. ''[flashback shows multiple episodes from the past]'' The rhino stomping around when Putty was there, the meltwater dripping through when their place turned into the Arctic, last Christmas, they were 10 different ghosts, and at one point, Scissors farted into a microphone and blew out all the windows in the building. What's it going to take for us to go up there and say something? ==Season 2== ===''Franz Roll and the Lost Rainbow Pants of Atraxes the Apple Bottomed [2.01]''=== ===''Paper and Pencil Tell a Joke / Scissors' Orchestra [2.02]''=== ===''Shoot / Rock's First Day of Work [2.03]''=== ===''Paper Attends an Elite Institution / The New Landlord [2.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': You wanna go home? :'''Paper''': Why? Because you think I can't ''handle'' 3rd grade? :'''Scissors''': No, because I do not care about this. :'''Paper''': Oh, yeah, you think I'm too stupid that I can't get ''one'' "A"? :'''Scissors''': Listen. I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors! I ''will'' get an "A", an "A-plus", with a good job sticker on top! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[holding up one of Pencil's gadgets]'' Scissors, look! Pencil has a shapeshifter! ''[activates it, turning him and Scissors into snowmen]'' :'''Rock & Scissors''': Whoa! ''[they then turn into [[w:Minecraft|Minecraft]] style]'' Whoa! :'''Paper''': Well, I bet you're ''loving'' this, Scissors! Old doofus Paper failing 3rd grade! :''[Rock and Scissors have turned into an apple and a banana]'' :'''Scissors''': Again, I do not care. :'''Paper''': And now I have a group project due at the end of the week on genetic engineering and no one will want to work with me 'cause I'm the least intelligent kid in the class! :''[Rock and Scissors have then turned into frogs]'' :'''Scissors''': Paper, we've turned ourselves into frogs. We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays. It really is the best time of year. :'''Pencil''': Yeah. You get to relax, have some quiet time, and… :'''Rock''': ''[barging in with Scissors clutching his stomach]'' SCISSORS ATE A PINECONE! :'''Pencil''': What?! Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is. And I'm glad everything worked out. :'''Pencil''': Although I do feel bad the robot didn't remove the pinecone. :''[Zoom out to reveal Scissors laying flat on the floor with the pine tree growing out of his buttocks, which Paper and Pencil were decorating]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' Not as bad as I do. <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors is watching an inspirational sports movie when Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, shoot! He's watching an inspirational sports movie! :'''Rock''': Every time he sees one of those, he thinks ''he'' can do that stuff! :'''Paper''': Turn it off! TURN IT OFF! :'''Rock''': ''[searching everywhere for the remote]'' I can't! Where's the remote?! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting on TV]'' Scrudy! Scrudy! :'''Paper''': I DON'T KNOW!

THERE ARE SO MANY CORDS! ===''The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06]''=== :''[Paper and Scissors are watching Rock playing a [[w:The Sims (video game)|Sims]] parody video game, until they hear the Rat Bros laughing and cheering from above the fourth floor]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Are the Rat Bros having another party? :'''Rock''': They are such jerks! :'''Paper''': Let's go up there and tell them to start being respectable members of society. :'''Scissors''': Okay, but just don't get on your high horse again. :''[Cut to them standing outside the Rat Bros' apartment while Paper rides on his high horse; Scissors knocks on the door]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' 'Sup, bros? Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys! :'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his head and brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO!

Be cool. <hr width="50%"> :''[Rat Bros' apartment; Logan is reading an article about the trio being the best guys in town and receiving all the praise]'' :'''Logan''': ''[outraged]'' Ugh! This makes me so mad! Why do we still pay for the newspaper?! ''[angrily marches over to the weight bench]'' Brogan, spot me. I'm doing an angry set! We cannot let Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel good about themselves. We have to beat them! :'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying… :'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off! :'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society. :'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses. :'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering. :'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments. :''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]'' :'''Rock''': ''[reading the article; crossly]'' This is terrible!

''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it splatters on the street, covering some people in garbage]'' :'''Paper''': We have to beat the Rat Bros, otherwise, I won't be able to judge them on my high horse!

I have created a device that will solve the global housing crisis by spitting out a fully-built house in just ''five'' seconds! :'''Scissors''': We're gonna officially unveil it tomorrow at the Nobel Prize ceremony and beat you once and for all! :'''Rock''': Build houses! That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[quietly as Logan and Brogan walk away]'' Nice, bro. :'''Derf''': ''[noticing Brody's timidity; concerned]'' Hey, are you okay? :'''Brody''': Yeah, I'm cool. ''[chuckles awkwardly]'' Cool. I'm cool! Ha-ha. Cool guy. Super cool Brody. Listen, can I tell you something? You remember how I got my PhD from Princeton, right? :'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on his patient, Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing!

Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro.

Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too.

''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait.

It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it!

What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out!

'Cause we're about to go on an adventure. :'''Paper''': There will be twists. There will be turns. :'''Scissors''': But if we stick together, ''[his sunglasses shine]'' I promise… we will complete this maze for ages five and under! :'''Rock''': Let's get the cat to the cat food! :'''Paper''': Yeah! :'''Scissors''': We got this. ''[The Birthday Police Car speakers start playing a Rock and Roll version of "Happy Birthday"]'' '''Speaker''': ''[sings]'' Happy Birthday to you. '''Rock''': ''[screams]'' I love this song! '''Speaker''': ''[continues singing]'' Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you! ''[Officer Wishowski aims the Confetti Cannon at the trio]'' '''Scissors''': Confetti Cannon! I can't see! ''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]'' '''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]'' '''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?! '''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick. '''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick. ''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together. '''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it. ''[he and Scissors try to high five each other but they slap their faces and fall to the floor the final time]'' ===''Pogo Sticks / Car Wash [1.02]''=== :''[The trio are doing meditation poses until they're interrupted by thumping sounds from the fourth floor]'' :'''Rock''': What the heck was that?! :'''Scissors & Paper''': ''[darkly]'' The Rat Bros. :''[They show up at the Rat Bros' apartment on the fourth floor]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door; smugly]'' 'Sup, losers? :'''Rock''': Losers? :'''Paper''': Come on. :'''Scissors''': Man, you're cool. :'''Paper''': What is going on in there?! :'''Logan''': Oh, we're doing pogo tricks, brah. ''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks. :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]'' :'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh! I hate those Rat Bros, yet, I care so much about what they think of me. :'''Scissors''': We have to get pogo sticks. If we don't, we won't be cool. ===''Weekend Story / Putty [1.03]''=== :'''Pencil''': Skydiving? Wow, Paper. I was just about to be your girlfriend, but not anymore, you boring turkey! ''[pulls a lever, causing Paper to eject and laughs maniacally]'' : : :'''Pencil #1''': No conflict pirates? :'''Pencil #2''': Swords as decoration? :'''Pencil #3''': You wear glasses? :'''Paper''': ''You'' wear glasses? :'''Pencil #3''': Yeah, but I wear them as well. :''[The Pencil clones all press a button together, causing Paper to eject and laugh diabolically]'' : :'''Paper''': You can run, but you can't fly! ''[laughs evilly; activating his drone]'' ===''Hide and Seek / The First Lou Episode [1.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[dramatic]'' You think you can hide from me?! Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game. :''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors. :'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]'' :'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall. :'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing. :'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts. :''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]'' :'''Rock''': I am not good at this game. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]'' :'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them? '''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn! '''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%"> :'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home! :'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children. Please do something immediately."''''' I'm sorry, but we're suspending you from the show for two weeks. :'''Scissors''': WHAT?! (Two weeks?!)

Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic?

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please!

'''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah.

I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris.

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development.

We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper.

Are the Rat Bros having another party? :'''Rock''': They are such jerks! :'''Paper''': Let's go up there and tell them to start being respectable members of society. :'''Scissors''': Okay, but just don't get on your high horse again. :''[Cut to them standing outside the Rat Bros' apartment while Paper rides on his high horse; Scissors knocks on the door]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' 'Sup, bros? Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys! :'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his head and brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. <hr width="50%"> :''[Rat Bros' apartment; Logan is reading an article about the trio being the best guys in town and receiving all the praise]'' :'''Logan''': ''[outraged]'' Ugh! This makes me so mad! Why do we still pay for the newspaper?! ''[angrily marches over to the weight bench]'' Brogan, spot me. I'm doing an angry set! We cannot let Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel good about themselves. We have to beat them! :'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying… :'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off! :'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society. :'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses. :'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering. :'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments. :''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]'' :'''Rock''': ''[reading the article; crossly]'' This is terrible! Newspapers are so important, and no one cares anymore! :'''Scissors''': What's the point of cleaning all this garbage off the street if we're losing?! ''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it splatters on the street, covering some people in garbage]'' :'''Paper''': We have to beat the Rat Bros, otherwise, I won't be able to judge them on my high horse! And how am I supposed to feel good about myself then, by winning horse races? ''[the horse shakes its head no]'' See? He's not into it! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Feast your eyes, Rat Bros! I have created a device that will solve the global housing crisis by spitting out a fully-built house in just ''five'' seconds! :'''Scissors''': We're gonna officially unveil it tomorrow at the Nobel Prize ceremony and beat you once and for all! :'''Rock''': Build houses! That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[quietly as Logan and Brogan walk away]'' Nice, bro. :'''Derf''': ''[noticing Brody's timidity; concerned]'' Hey, are you okay? :'''Brody''': Yeah, I'm cool. ''[chuckles awkwardly]'' Cool. I'm cool! Ha-ha. Cool guy. Super cool Brody. Listen, can I tell you something? You remember how I got my PhD from Princeton, right? :'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on his patient, Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing! And for the first time, I had a new thought. :''[Zoom into his head and brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Be good. :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro. ''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, only to run into Logan, who was already there, feeling deeply betrayed by finding out about his "being good" conversation with Derf]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that their conversation changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming in excitement after Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pets him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] jkw96nvg6co2wobzvuc4wps91i7cozf 3951698 3951692 2026-06-11T15:11:10Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06] */ 3951698 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready.

''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together.

Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too.

Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak?

''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens!

My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors.

''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy!

''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato.

'''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look.

Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah.

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors!

I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper.

''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that their conversation changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming excitedly when Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pets him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] ebjgakutri2qa7mp7hhsjxov1neh29j 3951705 3951698 2026-06-11T15:16:38Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08] */ 3951705 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready.

There will be turns. :'''Scissors''': But if we stick together, ''[his sunglasses shine]'' I promise… we will complete this maze for ages five and under! :'''Rock''': Let's get the cat to the cat food! :'''Paper''': Yeah! :'''Scissors''': We got this. ''[The Birthday Police Car speakers start playing a Rock and Roll version of "Happy Birthday"]'' '''Speaker''': ''[sings]'' Happy Birthday to you. '''Rock''': ''[screams]'' I love this song! '''Speaker''': ''[continues singing]'' Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you! ''[Officer Wishowski aims the Confetti Cannon at the trio]'' '''Scissors''': Confetti Cannon! I can't see! ''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]'' '''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]'' '''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?! '''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick. '''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick. ''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together. '''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it. ''[he and Scissors try to high five each other but they slap their faces and fall to the floor the final time]'' ===''Pogo Sticks / Car Wash [1.02]''=== :''[The trio are doing meditation poses until they're interrupted by thumping sounds from the fourth floor]'' :'''Rock''': What the heck was that?! :'''Scissors & Paper''': ''[darkly]'' The Rat Bros. :''[They show up at the Rat Bros' apartment on the fourth floor]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door; smugly]'' 'Sup, losers? :'''Rock''': Losers? :'''Paper''': Come on. :'''Scissors''': Man, you're cool. :'''Paper''': What is going on in there?! :'''Logan''': Oh, we're doing pogo tricks, brah. ''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks. :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]'' :'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh!

Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game. :''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors. :'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]'' :'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall. :'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing. :'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts. :''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]'' :'''Rock''': I am not good at this game. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]'' :'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them?

There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops.

My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children.

That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic? ''[makes the cars crash into each other and laughs evilly]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[A memory footage shows Young Scissors running down the school hallway, and accidentally rips his pants while crouching down to pick up a piece of paper, showing his underwear and butt crack]'' :'''Young Scissors''': Oh, no! I ripped my pants at school! ''[gets attacked by a Pterodactyl that swooped in]'' :'''Nice Scissors''': That was a bad day. ===''The Family Business / Glitter Bomb [1.18]''=== :'''Rock''': ''[covered in glitter after singing a tune while getting mail]'' What just happened? :'''Scissors''': I think someone sent you a glitter bomb. :'''Rock''': ''[getting angry]'' Do you know how difficult it is to remove glitter? Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah. I guess none of us are funny. '''Scissors''': Not a one of us. ''[the trio sadly stare one by one at the viewer]'' ===''Diapers / R.O.V.E.R. [1.19]''=== :'''Paper''': Scissors, why did you bring us here? This place is awful. :'''Scissors''': Because it's the hottest spot in town. I've got to be seen here to maintain my cool reputation. :'''Paper''': You don't ''have'' a cool reputation. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[after throwing all the diapers into the ocean as they start absorbing]'' Oh, no! I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris. We've dealt with too much noise and agony from all these wacky Rock Paper Scissors shenanigans. ''[flashback shows multiple episodes from the past]'' The rhino stomping around when Putty was there, the meltwater dripping through when their place turned into the Arctic, last Christmas, they were 10 different ghosts, and at one point, Scissors farted into a microphone and blew out all the windows in the building. What's it going to take for us to go up there and say something? ==Season 2== ===''Franz Roll and the Lost Rainbow Pants of Atraxes the Apple Bottomed [2.01]''=== ===''Paper and Pencil Tell a Joke / Scissors' Orchestra [2.02]''=== ===''Shoot / Rock's First Day of Work [2.03]''=== ===''Paper Attends an Elite Institution / The New Landlord [2.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': You wanna go home? :'''Paper''': Why? Because you think I can't ''handle'' 3rd grade? :'''Scissors''': No, because I do not care about this. :'''Paper''': Oh, yeah, you think I'm too stupid that I can't get ''one'' "A"? :'''Scissors''': Listen. I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors! I ''will'' get an "A", an "A-plus", with a good job sticker on top! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[holding up one of Pencil's gadgets]'' Scissors, look! Pencil has a shapeshifter! ''[activates it, turning him and Scissors into snowmen]'' :'''Rock & Scissors''': Whoa! ''[they then turn into [[w:Minecraft|Minecraft]] style]'' Whoa! :'''Paper''': Well, I bet you're ''loving'' this, Scissors! Old doofus Paper failing 3rd grade! :''[Rock and Scissors have turned into an apple and a banana]'' :'''Scissors''': Again, I do not care. :'''Paper''': And now I have a group project due at the end of the week on genetic engineering and no one will want to work with me 'cause I'm the least intelligent kid in the class! :''[Rock and Scissors have then turned into frogs]'' :'''Scissors''': Paper, we've turned ourselves into frogs. We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays. It really is the best time of year. :'''Pencil''': Yeah. You get to relax, have some quiet time, and… :'''Rock''': ''[barging in with Scissors clutching his stomach]'' SCISSORS ATE A PINECONE! :'''Pencil''': What?! Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is. And I'm glad everything worked out. :'''Pencil''': Although I do feel bad the robot didn't remove the pinecone. :''[Zoom out to reveal Scissors laying flat on the floor with the pine tree growing out of his buttocks, which Paper and Pencil were decorating]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' Not as bad as I do. <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors is watching an inspirational sports movie when Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, shoot! He's watching an inspirational sports movie! :'''Rock''': Every time he sees one of those, he thinks ''he'' can do that stuff! :'''Paper''': Turn it off! TURN IT OFF! :'''Rock''': ''[searching everywhere for the remote]'' I can't! Where's the remote?! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting on TV]'' Scrudy! Scrudy! :'''Paper''': I DON'T KNOW!

THERE ARE SO MANY CORDS! ===''The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06]''=== :''[Paper and Scissors are watching Rock playing a [[w:The Sims (video game)|Sims]] parody video game, until they hear the Rat Bros laughing and cheering from above the fourth floor]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Are the Rat Bros having another party? :'''Rock''': They are such jerks! :'''Paper''': Let's go up there and tell them to start being respectable members of society. :'''Scissors''': Okay, but just don't get on your high horse again. :''[Cut to them standing outside the Rat Bros' apartment while Paper rides on his high horse; Scissors knocks on the door]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' 'Sup, bros? Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys! :'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. <hr width="50%"> :''[Rat Bros' apartment; Logan is reading an article about the trio being the best guys in town and receiving all the praise]'' :'''Logan''': ''[outraged]'' Ugh! This makes me so mad! Why do we still pay for the newspaper?! ''[angrily marches over to the weight bench to do a set]'' Brogan, spot me. I'm doing an angry set! We cannot let Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel good about themselves. We have to beat them! :'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying… :'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off! :'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society. :'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses. :'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering. :'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments. :''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]'' :'''Rock''': ''[reading the article; crossly]'' This is terrible!

''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it splatters on the street, covering some people in garbage]'' :'''Paper''': We have to beat the Rat Bros, otherwise, I won't be able to judge them on my high horse! And how am I supposed to feel good about myself then, by winning horse races? ''[the horse shakes its head no]'' See? He's not into it! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Feast your eyes, Rat Bros! I have created a device that will solve the global housing crisis by spitting out a fully-built house in just ''five'' seconds! :'''Scissors''': We're gonna officially unveil it tomorrow at the Nobel Prize ceremony and beat you once and for all! :'''Rock''': Build houses! That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro!

Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on an armless patient named Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh, my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing!

Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro. ''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, only to run into Logan, who was already there, feeling deeply betrayed by finding out about his "being good" conversation with Derf]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too.

''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait.

It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame? :'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things. :'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one! <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] tf1kw91z244xq2bjql1q6mbj7ejxszx 3951787 3951705 2026-06-11T18:39:08Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06] */ 3951787 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready. 'Cause we're about to go on an adventure. :'''Paper''': There will be twists. There will be turns. :'''Scissors''': But if we stick together, ''[his sunglasses shine]'' I promise… we will complete this maze for ages five and under! :'''Rock''': Let's get the cat to the cat food! :'''Paper''': Yeah! :'''Scissors''': We got this. ''[The Birthday Police Car speakers start playing a Rock and Roll version of "Happy Birthday"]'' '''Speaker''': ''[sings]'' Happy Birthday to you. '''Rock''': ''[screams]'' I love this song! '''Speaker''': ''[continues singing]'' Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you! ''[Officer Wishowski aims the Confetti Cannon at the trio]'' '''Scissors''': Confetti Cannon! I can't see! ''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]'' '''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]'' '''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?! '''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick. '''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick. ''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together. '''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it. ''[he and Scissors try to high five each other but they slap their faces and fall to the floor the final time]'' ===''Pogo Sticks / Car Wash [1.02]''=== :''[The trio are doing meditation poses until they're interrupted by thumping sounds from the fourth floor]'' :'''Rock''': What the heck was that?! :'''Scissors & Paper''': ''[darkly]'' The Rat Bros. :''[They show up at the Rat Bros' apartment on the fourth floor]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door; smugly]'' 'Sup, losers? :'''Rock''': Losers? :'''Paper''': Come on. :'''Scissors''': Man, you're cool. :'''Paper''': What is going on in there?! :'''Logan''': Oh, we're doing pogo tricks, brah. ''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks. :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]'' :'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh! I hate those Rat Bros, yet, I care so much about what they think of me. :'''Scissors''': We have to get pogo sticks. If we don't, we won't be cool. ===''Weekend Story / Putty [1.03]''=== :'''Pencil''': Skydiving? Wow, Paper. I was just about to be your girlfriend, but not anymore, you boring turkey! ''[pulls a lever, causing Paper to eject and laughs maniacally]'' : : :'''Pencil #1''': No conflict pirates? :'''Pencil #2''': Swords as decoration? :'''Pencil #3''': You wear glasses? :'''Paper''': ''You'' wear glasses? :'''Pencil #3''': Yeah, but I wear them as well. :''[The Pencil clones all press a button together, causing Paper to eject and laugh diabolically]'' : :'''Paper''': You can run, but you can't fly! ''[laughs evilly; activating his drone]'' ===''Hide and Seek / The First Lou Episode [1.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[dramatic]'' You think you can hide from me?! Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game. :''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors. :'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]'' :'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall. :'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing. :'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts. :''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]'' :'''Rock''': I am not good at this game. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]'' :'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them? '''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn! '''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%"> :'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home! :'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children. Please do something immediately."''''' I'm sorry, but we're suspending you from the show for two weeks. :'''Scissors''': WHAT?! (Two weeks?!)

Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic?

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah.

I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris.

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors!

We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is. And I'm glad everything worked out. :'''Pencil''': Although I do feel bad the robot didn't remove the pinecone. :''[Zoom out to reveal Scissors laying flat on the floor with the pine tree growing out of his buttocks, which Paper and Pencil were decorating]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' Not as bad as I do. <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors is watching an inspirational sports movie when Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, shoot! He's watching an inspirational sports movie! :'''Rock''': Every time he sees one of those, he thinks ''he'' can do that stuff! :'''Paper''': Turn it off! TURN IT OFF! :'''Rock''': ''[searching everywhere for the remote]'' I can't! Where's the remote?! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting on TV]'' Scrudy! Scrudy! :'''Paper''': I DON'T KNOW! JUST RIP THE CORD OUT OF THE WALL! :'''Rock''': Which one?! THERE ARE SO MANY CORDS! ===''The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06]''=== :''[Paper and Scissors are watching Rock playing a [[w:The Sims (video game)|Sims]] parody video game, until they hear the Rat Bros laughing and cheering from above the fourth floor]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Are the Rat Bros having another party? :'''Rock''': They are such jerks! :'''Paper''': Let's go up there and tell them to start being respectable members of society. :'''Scissors''': Okay, but just don't get on your high horse again. :''[Cut to them standing outside the Rat Bros' apartment while Paper rides on his high horse; Scissors knocks on the door]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' 'Sup, bros? Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys! :'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. <hr width="50%"> :''[Rat Bros' apartment; Logan is reading an article about the trio being the best guys in town and receiving all the praise]'' :'''Logan''': ''[outraged]'' Ugh! This makes me so mad! Why do we still pay for the newspaper?! ''[angrily marches over to the weight bench to do a set]'' Brogan, spot me. I'm doing an angry set! We cannot let Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel good about themselves. We have to beat them! :'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying… :'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off! :'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society. :'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses. :'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering. :'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments. :''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]'' :'''Rock''': ''[reading the article; crossly]'' This is terrible! Newspapers are so important, and no one cares anymore! :'''Scissors''': What's the point of cleaning all this garbage off the street if we're losing?! ''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it splatters on the street, covering some people in garbage]'' :'''Paper''': We have to beat the Rat Bros, otherwise, I won't be able to judge them on my high horse! And how am I supposed to feel good about myself then, by winning horse races? ''[the horse shakes its head no]'' See? He's not into it! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Feast your eyes, Rat Bros! I have created a device that will solve the global housing crisis by spitting out a fully-built house in just ''five'' seconds! :'''Scissors''': We're gonna officially unveil it tomorrow at the Nobel Prize ceremony and beat you once and for all! :'''Rock''': Build houses! That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[quietly as Logan and Brogan walk away]'' Nice, bro. :'''Derf''': ''[noticing Brody's timidity; concerned]'' Hey, are you okay? :'''Brody''': Yeah, I'm cool. ''[chuckles awkwardly]'' Cool. I'm cool! Ha-ha. Cool guy. Super cool Brody. Listen, can I tell you something? You remember how I got my PhD from Princeton, right? :'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on an armless patient named Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh, my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing! And for the first time, I had a new thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Be good. :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro. ''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, but Logan was already there, feeling deeply betrayed by finding out about his "being good" conversation with Derf]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that their conversation changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming excitedly when Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pats him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame? :'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things. :'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one! <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] npffgt7yapbmncaj9ng7ite1vcyjbzp 3951788 3951787 2026-06-11T18:40:57Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06] */ 3951788 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready.

Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you.

Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them? '''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn!

There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children.

Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic?

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please!

'''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah.

I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah.

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors!

We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is.

''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, but finds Logan already there, feeling deeply betrayed by finding out about his "being good" conversation with Derf]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that their conversation changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming excitedly when Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pats him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame? :'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things. :'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one! <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] i0lif1z0zquhyye711f0ytruwxnn5p6 3951790 3951788 2026-06-11T18:43:56Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06] */ 3951790 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready.

I can't see! ''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]'' '''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]'' '''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?! '''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick. '''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick. ''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together. '''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it.

He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops!

Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them?

'''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%"> :'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home! :'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children. Please do something immediately."''''' I'm sorry, but we're suspending you from the show for two weeks. :'''Scissors''': WHAT?! (Two weeks?!) Who are you even gonna get to replace me? :''[The show's intro plays with Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel as Scissors' temporary replacement and the show's title being changed to "Rock Paper Nutso"]'' :'''Nutso''': This show's about to get Nutso! ===''National Paper Day / Helping with the Groceries [1.17]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[stretching himself]'' Alright, Paper, you haven't exercised in three years. Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic? ''[makes the cars crash into each other and laughs evilly]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[A memory footage shows Young Scissors running down the school hallway, and accidentally rips his pants while crouching down to pick up a piece of paper, showing his underwear and butt crack]'' :'''Young Scissors''': Oh, no! I ripped my pants at school!

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah. I guess none of us are funny. '''Scissors''': Not a one of us. ''[the trio sadly stare one by one at the viewer]'' ===''Diapers / R.O.V.E.R. [1.19]''=== :'''Paper''': Scissors, why did you bring us here? This place is awful. :'''Scissors''': Because it's the hottest spot in town. I've got to be seen here to maintain my cool reputation. :'''Paper''': You don't ''have'' a cool reputation. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[after throwing all the diapers into the ocean as they start absorbing]'' Oh, no! I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris. We've dealt with too much noise and agony from all these wacky Rock Paper Scissors shenanigans. ''[flashback shows multiple episodes from the past]'' The rhino stomping around when Putty was there, the meltwater dripping through when their place turned into the Arctic, last Christmas, they were 10 different ghosts, and at one point, Scissors farted into a microphone and blew out all the windows in the building. What's it going to take for us to go up there and say something? ==Season 2== ===''Franz Roll and the Lost Rainbow Pants of Atraxes the Apple Bottomed [2.01]''=== ===''Paper and Pencil Tell a Joke / Scissors' Orchestra [2.02]''=== ===''Shoot / Rock's First Day of Work [2.03]''=== ===''Paper Attends an Elite Institution / The New Landlord [2.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': You wanna go home? :'''Paper''': Why? Because you think I can't ''handle'' 3rd grade? :'''Scissors''': No, because I do not care about this. :'''Paper''': Oh, yeah, you think I'm too stupid that I can't get ''one'' "A"? :'''Scissors''': Listen. I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors! I ''will'' get an "A", an "A-plus", with a good job sticker on top! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[holding up one of Pencil's gadgets]'' Scissors, look! Pencil has a shapeshifter! ''[activates it, turning him and Scissors into snowmen]'' :'''Rock & Scissors''': Whoa! ''[they then turn into [[w:Minecraft|Minecraft]] style]'' Whoa! :'''Paper''': Well, I bet you're ''loving'' this, Scissors! Old doofus Paper failing 3rd grade! :''[Rock and Scissors have turned into an apple and a banana]'' :'''Scissors''': Again, I do not care. :'''Paper''': And now I have a group project due at the end of the week on genetic engineering and no one will want to work with me 'cause I'm the least intelligent kid in the class! :''[Rock and Scissors have then turned into frogs]'' :'''Scissors''': Paper, we've turned ourselves into frogs. We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

You get to relax, have some quiet time, and… :'''Rock''': ''[barging in with Scissors clutching his stomach]'' SCISSORS ATE A PINECONE! :'''Pencil''': What?! Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is. And I'm glad everything worked out. :'''Pencil''': Although I do feel bad the robot didn't remove the pinecone. :''[Zoom out to reveal Scissors laying flat on the floor with the pine tree growing out of his buttocks, which Paper and Pencil were decorating]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' Not as bad as I do. <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors is watching an inspirational sports movie when Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, shoot!

Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us!

And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! Be cool.

But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing.

I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me.

And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait.

And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends, are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] 3624rkn891yyebow6h4jakbzbtxpjil 3951794 3951790 2026-06-11T18:47:46Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09] */ 3951794 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready. 'Cause we're about to go on an adventure. :'''Paper''': There will be twists. There will be turns. :'''Scissors''': But if we stick together, ''[his sunglasses shine]'' I promise… we will complete this maze for ages five and under! :'''Rock''': Let's get the cat to the cat food! :'''Paper''': Yeah! :'''Scissors''': We got this. ''[The Birthday Police Car speakers start playing a Rock and Roll version of "Happy Birthday"]'' '''Speaker''': ''[sings]'' Happy Birthday to you. '''Rock''': ''[screams]'' I love this song! '''Speaker''': ''[continues singing]'' Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday to you! ''[Officer Wishowski aims the Confetti Cannon at the trio]'' '''Scissors''': Confetti Cannon! I can't see! ''[Paper coughs as the trio wipe the confetti off their bodies]'' '''Rock & Scissors''': Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they both fall to the floor]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor again]'' Jump jump. Hup hup. ''[they fall to the floor a third time and Paper's machine got knocked over]'' '''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' What the heck are you doing?! '''Scissors''': Trying to do a jump jump kick. '''Rock''': You know, from video games. When your second jump is in the air, then you do a really cool kick. ''[Rock and Scissors try to do it again but they fall to the floor once again]'' '''Paper''': Somehow you two are dumber together. '''Scissors''': ''[gets back up]'' Or we're smarter together. '''Rock''': ''[also gets back up]'' Got it. ''[he and Scissors try to high five each other but they slap their faces and fall to the floor the final time]'' ===''Pogo Sticks / Car Wash [1.02]''=== :''[The trio are doing meditation poses until they're interrupted by thumping sounds from the fourth floor]'' :'''Rock''': What the heck was that?! :'''Scissors & Paper''': ''[darkly]'' The Rat Bros. :''[They show up at the Rat Bros' apartment on the fourth floor]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door; smugly]'' 'Sup, losers? :'''Rock''': Losers? :'''Paper''': Come on. :'''Scissors''': Man, you're cool. :'''Paper''': What is going on in there?! :'''Logan''': Oh, we're doing pogo tricks, brah. ''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks. :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]'' :'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh! I hate those Rat Bros, yet, I care so much about what they think of me. :'''Scissors''': We have to get pogo sticks. If we don't, we won't be cool. ===''Weekend Story / Putty [1.03]''=== :'''Pencil''': Skydiving? Wow, Paper. I was just about to be your girlfriend, but not anymore, you boring turkey!

Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game. :''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors. :'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]'' :'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall. :'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing. :'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts. :''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]'' :'''Rock''': I am not good at this game. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]'' :'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules". Paper- :'''Rock, Scissors, Pencil, & Lou''': No. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Eh. I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them? '''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn! '''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%"> :'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home! :'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children. Please do something immediately."''''' I'm sorry, but we're suspending you from the show for two weeks. :'''Scissors''': WHAT?! (Two weeks?!)

Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic?

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah. I guess none of us are funny. '''Scissors''': Not a one of us. ''[the trio sadly stare one by one at the viewer]'' ===''Diapers / R.O.V.E.R. [1.19]''=== :'''Paper''': Scissors, why did you bring us here? This place is awful. :'''Scissors''': Because it's the hottest spot in town. I've got to be seen here to maintain my cool reputation. :'''Paper''': You don't ''have'' a cool reputation. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[after throwing all the diapers into the ocean as they start absorbing]'' Oh, no! I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah. I'll get to it. :'''Paper''': No, do it now. :'''Scissors''': I'll do it really soon. <hr width="50%"> :'''Dian''': I'm at my breaking point, Chris. We've dealt with too much noise and agony from all these wacky Rock Paper Scissors shenanigans. ''[flashback shows multiple episodes from the past]'' The rhino stomping around when Putty was there, the meltwater dripping through when their place turned into the Arctic, last Christmas, they were 10 different ghosts, and at one point, Scissors farted into a microphone and blew out all the windows in the building. What's it going to take for us to go up there and say something? ==Season 2== ===''Franz Roll and the Lost Rainbow Pants of Atraxes the Apple Bottomed [2.01]''=== ===''Paper and Pencil Tell a Joke / Scissors' Orchestra [2.02]''=== ===''Shoot / Rock's First Day of Work [2.03]''=== ===''Paper Attends an Elite Institution / The New Landlord [2.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': You wanna go home? :'''Paper''': Why?

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development. So, do whatever you want, but again, I could not care less. :'''Paper''': Well, ''I'll'' show you, Scissors! I ''will'' get an "A", an "A-plus", with a good job sticker on top! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[holding up one of Pencil's gadgets]'' Scissors, look! Pencil has a shapeshifter! ''[activates it, turning him and Scissors into snowmen]'' :'''Rock & Scissors''': Whoa! ''[they then turn into [[w:Minecraft|Minecraft]] style]'' Whoa! :'''Paper''': Well, I bet you're ''loving'' this, Scissors! Old doofus Paper failing 3rd grade! :''[Rock and Scissors have turned into an apple and a banana]'' :'''Scissors''': Again, I do not care. :'''Paper''': And now I have a group project due at the end of the week on genetic engineering and no one will want to work with me 'cause I'm the least intelligent kid in the class! :''[Rock and Scissors have then turned into frogs]'' :'''Scissors''': Paper, we've turned ourselves into frogs. We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays. It really is the best time of year. :'''Pencil''': Yeah. You get to relax, have some quiet time, and… :'''Rock''': ''[barging in with Scissors clutching his stomach]'' SCISSORS ATE A PINECONE! :'''Pencil''': What?! Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is. And I'm glad everything worked out. :'''Pencil''': Although I do feel bad the robot didn't remove the pinecone. :''[Zoom out to reveal Scissors laying flat on the floor with the pine tree growing out of his buttocks, which Paper and Pencil were decorating]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' Not as bad as I do. <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors is watching an inspirational sports movie when Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, shoot! He's watching an inspirational sports movie! :'''Rock''': Every time he sees one of those, he thinks ''he'' can do that stuff! :'''Paper''': Turn it off! TURN IT OFF! :'''Rock''': ''[searching everywhere for the remote]'' I can't! Where's the remote?! :'''Crowd''': ''[chanting on TV]'' Scrudy! Scrudy! :'''Paper''': I DON'T KNOW! JUST RIP THE CORD OUT OF THE WALL! :'''Rock''': Which one?! THERE ARE SO MANY CORDS! ===''The Altruistic-Off / The Album [2.06]''=== :''[Paper and Scissors are watching Rock playing a [[w:The Sims (video game)|Sims]] parody video game, until they hear the Rat Bros laughing and cheering from above the fourth floor]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[annoyed]'' Ugh. Are the Rat Bros having another party? :'''Rock''': They are such jerks! :'''Paper''': Let's go up there and tell them to start being respectable members of society. :'''Scissors''': Okay, but just don't get on your high horse again. :''[Cut to them standing outside the Rat Bros' apartment while Paper rides on his high horse; Scissors knocks on the door]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' 'Sup, bros? Oh, are we tutoring too loud? :'''Paper''': Tutoring? :'''Logan''': Yeah. We tutor underprivileged kids all the time. ''[shows his brothers tutoring four children]'' Ruby, tell 'em the thesis of your report. :'''Ruby''': In a juxtaposition of the sublime and the banal, the artist's oeuvre deftly encapsulates the ephemeral nature of human experience. :''[Derf blares a party air horn; the trio are baffled by what they just saw and are back in their apartment…]'' :'''Scissors''': What the heck was that?! :'''Rock''': The Rat Bros aren't supposed to be better than us! They're supposed to be one-dimensional bad guys! :'''Paper''': Yeah! I refuse to live in a world where the Rat Bros are morally superior. Because then we can't judge them! And that's how I feel good about myself! :'''Scissors''': Paper, get off the horse. :'''Paper''': I can't, I need a step stool! :''[Meanwhile, in the Rat Bros' apartment…]'' :'''Logan''': ''[laughing]'' Did you see how upset they were? :'''Brogan''': Our altruistic plan is totally working! :'''Derf''': We are such jerks! :'''Rat Bros''': ''[chest bumping]'' Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[confused]'' But wait… are we jerks? Tutoring these kids is really nice. Bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :'''Logan''': Brody, don't be ridiculous. We're only doing good things to make Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel bad about themselves, which is a jerk thing to do. And remember, the two rules of being a Rat Bro: If a bro asks you to spot 'em, you gotta spot 'em. And what's number two, kids? :'''Kids''': Rat Bros are jerks because jerks are cool. :'''Logan''': And you wanna be cool, right, Brody? :'''Brody''': Of course. That's my one and only thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Shower? :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. <hr width="50%"> :''[Rat Bros' apartment; Logan is reading an article about the trio being the best guys in town and receiving all the praise]'' :'''Logan''': ''[outraged]'' Ugh! This makes me so mad! Why do we still pay for the newspaper?! ''[angrily marches over to the weight bench to do a set]'' Brogan, spot me. I'm doing an angry set! We cannot let Rock, Paper, and Scissors feel good about themselves. We have to beat them! :'''Brody''': Wait, Logan. Are you saying… :'''Logan''': Yes, Brody. It's time for an altruistic-off! :'''Ruby''': Altruistic-off: A competition in which people or groups try to win by doing the most good for society. :'''Logan''': Uh, Ruby, you can go home. Okay. Derf, go save the whales. Brogan and I will eliminate political corruption. And Brody? Get a PhD in robotic engineering to give people without limbs the best in robotic prostheses. :'''Derf''': But, Logan, I already have a PhD in robotic engineering. :'''Logan''': Too late. I already gave out the assignments. :''[Another article shows the Rat Bros being #1 good guys and receiving more praise]'' :'''Rock''': ''[reading the article; crossly]'' This is terrible! Newspapers are so important, and no one cares anymore! :'''Scissors''': What's the point of cleaning all this garbage off the street if we're losing?! ''[pushes the huge garbage bag out the window, and it splatters on the street, covering some people in garbage]'' :'''Paper''': We have to beat the Rat Bros, otherwise, I won't be able to judge them on my high horse! And how am I supposed to feel good about myself then, by winning horse races? ''[the horse shakes its head no]'' See? He's not into it! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Feast your eyes, Rat Bros! I have created a device that will solve the global housing crisis by spitting out a fully-built house in just ''five'' seconds! :'''Scissors''': We're gonna officially unveil it tomorrow at the Nobel Prize ceremony and beat you once and for all! :'''Rock''': Build houses! That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[quietly as Logan and Brogan walk away]'' Nice, bro. :'''Derf''': ''[noticing Brody's timidity; concerned]'' Hey, are you okay? :'''Brody''': Yeah, I'm cool. ''[chuckles awkwardly]'' Cool. I'm cool! Ha-ha. Cool guy. Super cool Brody. Listen, can I tell you something? You remember how I got my PhD from Princeton, right? :'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on an armless patient named Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh, my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing! And for the first time, I had a new thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Be good. :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro. ''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, but finds Logan already there, feeling deeply betrayed after finding out about his and Derf's conversation]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that his conversation with him changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming excitedly when Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pats him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame? :'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things. :'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one! <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] fv7kdalh2xls9cww0waq9e6xy4xjd2g 3951799 3951794 2026-06-11T18:56:43Z ~2026-34474-94 3340162 /* National Paper Day / Helping with the Groceries [1.17] */ 3951799 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Rock Paper Scissors (TV series)|Rock Paper Scissors]]''''' is an American animated comedy television series for Nickelodeon created by Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. ------ ==Season 1== ===''Birthday Police / Paper's Big Lie [1.01]''=== :'''Rock''': Get ready.

''[shows the trio his brothers: Brody, Brogan and Derf, on their pogo sticks]'' We're hosting a super cool pogo party this Sunday. You're welcome to come, except… oh, that's right…you don't have pogo sticks. :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. Nice, bro. :''[Brody closes the door on the trio with his pogo stick; back at their apartment]'' :'''Paper''': ''[frustrated]'' Ugh! I hate those Rat Bros, yet, I care so much about what they think of me. :'''Scissors''': We have to get pogo sticks. If we don't, we won't be cool. ===''Weekend Story / Putty [1.03]''=== :'''Pencil''': Skydiving? Wow, Paper. I was just about to be your girlfriend, but not anymore, you boring turkey! ''[pulls a lever, causing Paper to eject and laughs maniacally]'' : : :'''Pencil #1''': No conflict pirates? :'''Pencil #2''': Swords as decoration? :'''Pencil #3''': You wear glasses? :'''Paper''': ''You'' wear glasses? :'''Pencil #3''': Yeah, but I wear them as well. :''[The Pencil clones all press a button together, causing Paper to eject and laugh diabolically]'' : :'''Paper''': You can run, but you can't fly! ''[laughs evilly; activating his drone]'' ===''Hide and Seek / The First Lou Episode [1.04]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[dramatic]'' You think you can hide from me?! Well, you're wrong because I… will… seek you! ''[playfully]'' Ready or not, here I come! ''[annoyed]'' Rock, you're behind the lamp. You're really bad at this game. :''[Rock notices and sighs sadly]'' <hr width="50%"/> :'''Paper''': Rock, I need your help to find Scissors. :'''Rock''': You have to find me first. ''[giggles]'' :'''Paper''': I mean, you're wearing camouflage against the blue wall. :'''Rock''': ''[notices]'' Okay, I'll do it. But only if I can keep playing. :'''Paper''': Sure. Go nuts. :''[Rock cartwheels back to the camouflage wall and sighs sadly]'' :'''Rock''': I am not good at this game. <hr width="50%"/> :''[The trio are knitting a friendship blanket together while singing a song when they hear a banging sound from the door]'' :'''Lou''': ''[off-screen]'' It's Lou. Let me in. :'''Scissors''': Shoot, it's the landlord! :'''Paper''': Don't answer it. I don't want to deal with that pile of garbage. :'''Rock''': Paper! He's not that bad. :'''Paper''': No, I mean, he's literally trash. :''[Rock opens the door, revealing Lou, a grumpy landlord standing in the doorway]'' :'''Rock''': Lou, can you please put on pants? :'''Lou''': Pants? What am I, rich? You'd think I work on Wall Street? Oh, look at me. I wear pants and own a sports team. Why don't I buy a Lamborghini, too, wear that around my legs? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Lou''': ''[as the end credits roll]'' Look at all these Hollywood phonies. Oh, Bob. Bob pronounces it "croi-ssant." Very annoying. Kurt, he's a fancy guy! Drinks seltzer! What are you, not getting enough free air? You got to pay to drink it? And let me tell you something about Nickelodeon, and I won't let them censor this! They... ''[a card sequence reading, '''"Oops! Please stand by"''' appears]'' I hope you like this episode, 'cause now, they get a lot worse! ===''The Susan / Eyebrows [1.05]''=== :'''Scissors''': The Susan is right. :'''Rock''': The Susan is always right. :'''Paper''': Well, this is the first time The Susan has talked, remember? :'''Rock''': We're sorry. :'''Scissors''': We should have never changed you. :'''Paper''': Can you forgive us? : : : : : :'''Rock''': ''[pacing back and forth]'' What am I gonna do about this audition?! Without my eyebrows, no one'll read my emotions! :'''Paper''': You seem very calm about this. :'''Rock''': No, I'm not! I'm freaking out! :'''Paper''': I can't-uh, do you need a snack? Are you cold? Did you slam your hand in a new or possibly old car door? ''[Rock draws angry eyebrows on two notepads and puts them on his forehead]'' Oh, oh, oh, you're upset. Don't worry. I think I can help you with my robotics invention. I'll make you… a pair of… animatronic eyebrows! ===''Scissors Gets a Job [1.06]''=== :'''Rock''': You made money by faking injuries and suing people? That's terrible. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly]'' Oh, moral Rock doesn't like making his money through fraudulent lawsuits. :'''Paper''': Broke or not, you still have to pay for your pizza. Maybe it's time you stop being a bum and get a job. :'''Scissors''': ''[mockingly once again]'' Oh, judgmental Paper calls me a bum just 'cause I fit the definition of one. :'''Paper''': Why don't you ever wanna find work? Is it because you're not really good at anything? :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Hey! :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors is good at lot of things, like, uh, sunglasses. :'''Scissors''': Forget you guys. I'll find work when I want to. :'''Paper''': Well, until you do, you ''can't'' have pizza with us. :'''Scissors''': ''[shocked]'' What?! :'''Paper''': In fact, every time you walk through that door, Rock and I will be eating pizza until it motivates you to get a job. :'''Rock''': Awesome! :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' Fine! You just watch. I'll have pizza money in no time. ''[bumps his leg on the table]'' Ow, my leg or- :'''Judge''': In the case of Scissors vs. Paper and his dangerous coffee table, the court rules in favor of Paper. :'''Scissors''': ''[rips the bandages off himself]'' Dang it! Alright. I'll get a job. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I've been fired from every job I've tried, and this was kind of my last option. But I guess I'll go home and tell my roommates they were right about me. I'm a loser. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[weakly and stuffed with a huge belly]'' Scissors, did you… ''[stomach grumbles while he clutches it]'' Oh. …get a job yet? :'''Rock''': ''[pushes Paper aside, also stuffed with a huge belly]'' Please say yes. :'''Scissors''': Guys, I can't talk right now. I'm hiding out in a chamomile field. :'''Paper''': Oh, of course you are. Then you leave us no choice. ''[pulls a giant pizza pie]'' We're going to eat the most decadent pizza ever created. :'''Rock''': No! :'''Paper''': The Ultimate Meat Huggers Double Stuffed Deep Dishanator with 50 pounds… of cheese. ''[Rock starts crying as he eats a slice while Scissors looks confused]'' It's so… ''[grabs his stomach while groaning as it grumbles]'' ...good. :'''Rock''': ''[whimpers as Paper eats another slice]'' Oh, there's pizza underneath the pizza! ''[he and Paper eat more slices until they fall on their sides and holding their bellies in pain]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[gets an idea]'' Wait. I know what I'm good at! ''[runs away, dropping his phone]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, Rock, he ran away. We're gonna come find you, Scissors. We just want to have… ''[his stomach gurgles; groans]'' …as much fun… Oh, no. …as we're having! :'''Rock''': No more pizza! NO MORE PIZZA!!!!! ===''The Arctic / Prank War [1.07]''=== :'''Paper''': Why is it so hot in here? :'''Rock''': Scissors crank the heater up so he can show off his new tank top. :'''Scissors''': Check it out! It's a monster truck with enormous biceps. It's perfect for tough guys like me. I even had them print my motto on the back. '''''"If you want the 'ceps, you do the reps."''''' :'''Paper''': You don't ''do'' the reps, and why are you in a tank top? It's winter. ''[opens the window blinds, revealing the winter sky and wind]'' You're gonna overload the heater like this. It can't handle… ''[the heater suddenly breaks down and the cold air breezes into the apartment; sighs in annoyance]'' Without me, you guys would not survive. :''[The trio stand outside of Lou's apartment]'' :'''Lou''': I'm ''raising'' the rent! :'''Rock''': Lou! :'''Paper''': Hold on! :'''Scissors''': Give us a second! :'''Paper''': Listen, our heater broke and we need you to fix it. :'''Lou''': ''[sarcastically]'' Oh, fancy, boys, you "set" the temperature in your apartment. You don't got to turn on a hot plate and rub it on your bum. :'''Rock''': You don't got it either. :'''Lou''': Well, I can't help you. I'm on my way to Landlord Con. It's a meetup for landlords where we talk about plumbing and famous literature. :'''Scissors''': Name one book. :'''Lou''': Fine, it's just plumbing. Anyway, I'll be back in three days. Mittens, you're the new landlord while I'm gone. :''[Mittens walks out of the doorway and meows to them as if he was saying "I'm ''raising'' the rent!"]'' :'''Rock''': Mittens! :'''Paper''': Come on! :'''Scissors''': That's so unfair! ''[as he and his friends return to their apartment]'' It'll be fine. We could survive without heat for three days. :''[They enter their apartment and shockingly find it all covered in snow and icicles]'' :'''Paper''': Well, we can go stay with my mom. :'''Rock''': New adventure! Rock, Paper, Scissors move in with Paper's mom! :'''Paper''': ''[trying to open the door, but only to find that it's quickly frozen; grunting]'' It's frozen shut! We're trapped! :'''Scissors''': By the way, fun fact about monster trucks-- they don't normally have biceps. :'''Paper''': ''[groans annoyingly]'' Well, we're off to a great start. We can't call for help because our phones are frozen. ''[to Scissors]'' You won't put on a jacket because you keep saying you "run hot." :'''Scissors''': ''[shivering; resisting the cold temperature]'' T-t-tough guys like me don't g-get cold. :'''Paper''': And Rock is not taking this seriously. <hr width="y50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[wearily while making an igloo]'' I just need to finish this igloo. That'll keep us safe. :'''Rock''': Oh, here's a good one. If you were a warm, nutritious food, what warm, nutritious food would you be? ''[igloo explodes, covering them in snow]'' Do you prefer the hot or the cold? :'''Scissors''': Fun fact about me, I actually run… :'''Paper''': ''[snapping]'' Shut up! Shut up! Ah, I hate this! I am tired of you two being incapable, and I hate always being the savior of this group! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': What'll it take to get you to join? You want money, gifts, someone to hug you and say, "Good job, son"? Wait, that's what I want. :'''Paper''': Look, pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :'''Scissors''': ''[to Rock]'' How funny would it be if that wrecking ball would hit him right now? :'''Pencil''': ''[bursting into their apartment]'' Guys, the Rat Bros asked me to join their side in the prank war! :'''Rock''': ''[shocked] WHAT?!'' Wait, I actually don't know how to feel about this yet. Keep talking. :'''Pencil''': I'm so excited! Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a huge trickster. One time, I told a coworker something was made of polycarbonate when it was actually made of polythylmethacrylate! :'''Paper''': ''[chuckles]'' Oh, you are bad. <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are hiding behind a bush in the park, watching the Rat Bros weightlifting]'' :'''Scissors''': Okay. What's the plan, new guy? :'''Paper''': I say we sneak up and blast them with my water balloon cannon. Now, Rock! Push the button! :'''Rock''': ''[tries to push the button but the laser zaps him causing him to dance uncontrollably]'' I'm trying but I can't stop dancing! :'''Scissors''': I'll do it. ''[the laser zaps him; his body starts to inflate like a balloon and floats away]'' What is- Rock, grab me! GRAB ME! ''[holds onto the cannon]'' :'''Paper''': What the heck is going- ''[the laser zaps him; screams as his neck extends like a giraffe and his giraffe-like head falls to the ground]'' Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! :''[The Rat Bros walk up to them]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, the party won't stop! :'''Logan''': 'Sup, boys? Were you planning to blast us with your secret weapon? Well, ''we'' have a secret weapon too. :'''Pencil''': ''[popping up from a nearby bush]'' I made an atomic transmogrification laser! It can alter molecular structure in really crazy ways! Watch. ''[zaps Scissors' head, causing it to also inflate]'' :'''Scissors''': My head! My head is a balloon! ''[floats away]'' :'''Paper''': Okay, this might be a bit harder than I thought. :'''Scissors''': Sharp branch! Sharp branch! :''[Scissors' nose is poked by a branch and deflates around while the Rat Bros laugh]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[wakes up when he hears loud crashing sounds]'' Did you guys hear something? ''[his brothers wake up, also hearing the sound; they walk over to Scissors, disguised as a graffiti painting, then walk over to Rock, mistaking him for a smart device]'' Smart device, play smooth jazz. ''[Rocks plays some music, but not smooth jazz; walks over to Paper holding a sign saying: "I'm a TV"; realizing something]'' Wait a second. ''[turns back to Rock]'' That's Afro-Cuban jazz! :''[Rock smiles sheepishly]'' :'''Paper''': GRAB THE LASER! <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros have tied up the trio to chairs for sneaking into their apartment and trying to steal Pencil's transmogrification laser]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[to Brody, Brogan and Derf]'' Hey, I know we're in a prank war right now, but I just wanna say I really respect you guys. Prank! You're trashed! Ha, ha! We got one, guys. We got one. :'''Pencil''': Theft, Paper? That was your plan? You know, I expected something that basic from Scissors, and maybe Rock, 'cause I don't know much about him. :'''Rock''': We should hang out more. :'''Pencil''': We should! But come on, man, up your game. It's like, I'm Issac Newton and you're Godfried-Willem Raes. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[interrupting the Prank War award ceremony while in a mech suit]'' Stop that crowning! :'''Woman''': What? Stop the crowning? :'''Paper''': ''[walks up on the stage]'' Oh, you thought this was over? ''[snickers]'' Well, ''prank! [Scissors grabs Derf from his seat; stands on the podium]'' Ladies and gentlemen, answer me this: How can the Rat Bros accept the prank crown if the Rat Bros aren't all on this planet? ''[Derf is then strapped to a rocket]'' Yes! Do it, Scissors! Wedgie that Rat Bro into space! Look at me now, Pencil! I'm Issac Newton! I'm Issac Newton! ''[laughs maniacally, shaking the podium]'' :''[Rock, Pencil, the Rat Bros, the audience and Paper all watch as Scissors is preparing to fire the missile and send Derf off into space]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[suddenly having a change of heart]'' No. ''[deactivates the rocket and sets Derf down]'' :'''Paper''': What? :'''Scissors''': No more prank war! ''[the audience gasps]'' I just had a huge revelation. Pranks are mean, and they're hurting our society. :'''Paper''': Wait, that's what I said. :'''Scissors''': Just think what we could accomplish if we stopped tricking people and started helping them. :'''Paper''': ''[baffled]'' Is he doing my speech? :'''Scissors''': As a man of science, I'd rather spend my time changing the world, curing diseases, and bringing back the rainforest! :''[The audience clap and cheer, and the Rat Bros whistle]'' :'''Rock''': Whoo! <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[kneels down to Scissors]'' Good job, son. ''[he and Scissors hug as the latter sheds tears of happiness]'' ===''Key Limes / Six Pieces of Turkey [1.08]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[pukes in the trash can and moans]'' Oh, man. Did you see me driving back there? I was cool as a cu- ''[pukes in the trash again]'' …cumber. ===''The Other Rock Paper Scissors / The Astonishing Catalina [1.09]''=== :'''Better Rock, Paper, & Scissors''': Hello! :'''Scissors''': Oh, boy. :'''Better Rock''': Come in, come in! :'''Paper''': Huh. Your place looks similar to ours. :'''Scissors''': Although, I see you don't see have a TV. :'''Better Scissors''': Why would we need a TV? We're too entertained by our friends. :'''Rock, Paper & Scissors''': Ugh. :'''Better Rock''': Thanks for bringing these over. Funny enough, we just got some of your mail today, too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': I don't understand. :'''Scissors''': You're smarter than us, you're nicer than us, you're at least 15 other things better than us. What's wrong with you guys?! :'''Better Scissors''': You tell us. We're always willing to grow. :''[Scissors yells in rage]'' :'''Better Paper''': Hey, you seem upset. Why don't we all go to the couch and talk about our feelings? :''[The better trio fly back to the couch]'' :'''Rock''': You fly too?! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': We can live like this. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': Why won't you let me do the trick?! :'''Scissors''': Because it makes me feel uncool! :'''Catalina''': What are you talking about? You're effortlessly cool! The only way I can feel cool is by doing magic! :'''Scissors''': I find that hard to believe, 'cause everything about you is cool! You're stylish and confident and turn horses into dragons! :'''Catalina''': But you never blink an eye! I've done so many horrible things to you and you always say you can live like this! :'''Scissors''': YOU'RE THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW! :'''Catalina''': THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT ''YOU!'' ===''Pencil Comes Over / The Wind [1.10]''=== :'''Paper''': I can't believe that worked. :'''Scissors''': I know. It went exactly like I-''[pukes on the ground]'' Oh, whatever. <hr width="50%"> :'''Sandpaper''': You're the vomit boy? :'''Scissors''': That was one time and it hasn't happened si- ''[pukes on the ground again]'' Oh, why? ===''The Holiday Picture / Scrubs [1.11]''=== :'''Rock''': Guys! We got more holiday cards! :'''Paper''': ''[disappointed]'' Man, everyone looks so perfect in these photos-- Lou, the Rat Bros, even Crazy-Eyed Pirate. :'''Rock''': Who? :'''Scissors''': I don't know. We met a lot of wacky characters. It's hard to keep track. :'''Paper''': Why can't ''we'' take a good holiday picture? Every year, something goes wrong. There was that year Rock's head got stuck in a honey jar, the year we had broccoli in our teeth, the year we were all 8-bit, the year Scissors went Super Saiyan. :'''Scissors''': That year was awesome! :'''Paper''': And the year Rock dressed up as some old cartoon character. :''[The last photo shows Rock in his Rocko getup from [[w:List of Rocko's Modern Life characters|Rocko's Modern Life]]]'' :'''Rock''': You didn't enjoy ''"Rocko, Paper, Scissors"?'' :'''Paper''': Eh, it was okay. :'''Scissors''': I liked that show. The main guy was always like… ''[imitating Rocko's voice]'' "Hey, mate, I'm Rocko, and I have a dog named Spunky. He-he." ''[normally]'' Or something like that. I don't do a very good impression. :'''Paper''': I just want ''one'' perfect holiday photo. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': Wait. Where ''is'' your chain? :'''Scissors''': Oh! Toast Ghost is covering it! Aw, man! Now the caption doesn't make any sense! <hr width="50%"> :''[The trio are eating at a cafe while Paper is dressed in a medical uniform and scrubs, much to Scissors' jealousy]'' :'''Scissors''': So, we're just not gonna talk about Paper's clothes. :'''Paper''': Whatever do you mean? :'''Rock''': Guys, let's be peaceful. :'''Scissors''': I mean, you're wearing scrubs. You are not a doctor, and yet, you are wearing the clothes a doctor wears. :'''Paper''': Oh, is that what these are? I thought they were pajamas. :'''Scissors''': And the stethoscope? :'''Paper''': I thought it was a necklace. :'''Scissors''': Yeah? You wear necklaces now? :'''Rock''': Scissors, take a breath. :'''Scissors''': This is insane! He's so desperate for respect, he put on scrubs so people think he's a doctor. Well, no one's buying it, Paper! :'''Orange-haired Kid''': Wow, a real-life hero! ''[offers Paper to sign his autograph]'' How can I be a doctor one day? :'''Paper''': I'll say this, it's more than just putting on the clothes. :'''Scissors''': That's literally all he did! :'''Rock''': Let's ask ''why'' this upsets you. :'''Scissors''': Rock, you went on one meditation retreat, you're not some wise, old sage. ''[points to Paper]'' And ''he's'' not a doctor! I bet he can't even tell you what hospital he works at! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[grumbles annoyingly]'' I'm gonna get more respect than ''you,'' Paper. And I know someone's society respects even ''more'' than doctors. ''[walks off and comes back, wearing a basketball jersey]'' :'''Paper''': What are you wearing? :'''Scissors''': A basketball jersey… Which I guess makes me a professional basketball player. :'''Paper''': Oh, please. You really think people are going to believe that you're… :'''Woman''': Ronald Jamison! <hr width="50%"> :'''Orange-haired Kid''': ''[sitting with three humanoid children pair of scissors]'' What the heck is going on? <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Come on, Paper, I'm really hurt! Just admit you're not a doctor! :'''Paper''': Only if ''you'' admit you're ''not'' Ronald Jamison! :'''Scissors''': Why don't I admit myself to the hospital…where you don't work! ===''Bowling / The Character Quiz [1.12]''=== :'''Rock''': Want to tell your problems to a rock you never met? :'''Bowling Owner''': ''[sighs]'' It's that Scissors guy. He's putting me out of business. See? At my bowling alley, a perfect score gets you a free tub of curly fries and a free game. And Scissors got so good at bowling, he hasn't paid for a game in 2 years. :'''Rock''': Yeah, Scissors gets carried away when he finds a deal. It tends to turn him into a cartoon villain. :''[Scissors laughs deviously while wearing an evil mustache made of curly fries]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[to Scissors]'' Listen, Scissors. It would really help the owner if you started paying for curly fries. :'''Scissors''': Oh, naive Rock, always trying to help. Don't you know how life works? You don't win by helping. You win by taking advantage, and exploiting deals for all... they're... worth! ''[laughs maniacally as lightning bolts flash behind him]'' Man, these deals make me a maniac. :'''Rock''': I like to believe that if you reach out your arms to others, their arms will reach back out to you. :'''Scissors''': You also believe the Earth is heart-shaped. I can't trust anything you say. :'''Rock''': Then how about this? I challenge you to a game of bowling. If I win, you have to start paying for curly fries. But if you win, you get the bowling alley. :'''Scissors''': Seriously? I mean, yeah, of course. That's a very uneven deal. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[disappointed]'' I was awful back there. I know I'll probably just find another deal and do this all again. :'''Rock''': Don't worry, Scissors. I found one deal I do want you to take advantage of. ''[hands him a letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[reads the letter]'' '''''"Buy five sessions, get the sixth free!"''''' ''[later cut to him talking to a therapist]'' I will take advantage of this therapy deal. I will exploit it to the ends of the Earth! ''[lightning bolts flash behind him once again]'' :'''Therapist''': And where do you think that comes from? :'''Scissors''': ''[starts crying]'' I don't know! <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors both got Stephernie from taking a character quiz from their favorite sitcom: "The Gang's All Here" and Rock ends up getting Creepo the Stinkboy]'' :'''Creepo''': I hang out in abandoned petting zoos. My favorite part of the popsicle is the stick. I hiss at passing cars. ''[hisses at a car that just passed him]'' I have a lot of chest hair in this jar! ''[holds up a jar of his chest hair]'' :'''Dave''': Creepo, why can't you be more like me? Dave. :'''Rock''': See? :'''Logan''': ''[enters the trio's apartment]'' I heard you guys got Stephernie. ''I'' got Stephernie! :'''Brody''': I got Fire Hydrant. :'''Lou''': ''[sliding in]'' I got Dave! :'''Scissors''': Sure. :'''Logan''': I see that. :'''Paper''': Me too. :'''Rock''': How? How do you see that? :'''Logan''': Hey, some Stephernies and I are having a party to watch the 1,000th episode. Now that we're all Stephernies, I'm willing to put aside our differences if you want to come. ''[he, Paper, and Scissors all hold hands and squeal in joy]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper and Scissors show up at the Rat Bros' apartment for a private Stephernie party while carrying pizza]'' :'''Logan''': ''[answers the door]'' Come in! I see you brought pizza, as a Stephernie would. Please, put it on the table and join the party. :'''Scissors''': Wow, check out all these other Stephernies. Baron Von Snootsberg, Robot Executive. :'''Paper''': Sandpaper, you're a Stephernie, too? :'''Sandpaper''': Of course, we're both career women, and we both have a secret love of ribbon dancing. ''[gasps]'' Oh, no. Secret's out. :'''Scissors''': ''[noticing something]'' Wait a minute! Someone brought pepperoni pizza, when everyone knows Stephernie's favorite topping is an entire Thanksgiving dinner! Someone here is '''''not''''' a Stephernie! ''[the others gasp in shock]'' No one's going anywhere, even if it takes all week, we will find the imposter, and when we do, there will be a severe punishment. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I will find this imposter by testing all of you on details only a true Stephernie would know. ''[to Sandpaper]'' What's Stephernie's last name?! :'''Sandpaper''': Stephernie. :'''Scissors''': Good. ''[to Baron Von Snootsberg]'' Walk like Stephernie! ''[Baron Von Snootsberg makes monkey moves around the room and hooting like monkey]'' Good. ''[to Robot Executive]'' In season 16, episode 2, what does Stephernie say when she arrives at her younger sister's lake house? :'''Robot Executive''': Oh, I don't know. You guys are going to kill me. I'm the fraud at the party! :''[Paper sighs in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': That's exactly what she said. :'''Paper''': ''[nervously]'' Uh, I have to go to the bathroom… ''[everyone looks at him, suspiciously]'' in a Stephernie way. ''[walks to the Rat Bros' bathroom like a monkey]'' :'''Robot Executive''': Yes, that checks out. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, very Stephernie. :'''Rock''': ''[on the phone with Paper]'' You snuck into a Stephernie party?! That is shameful behavior. :'''Paper''': ''[hiding in the bathroom; on the phone with Rock, pacing back and forth]'' You just said you're breaking into a TV studio! :'''Rock''': For my identity, Paper! My identity is at stake! :'''Paper''': Look, I've never seen an episode. You gotta tell me everything you know about Stephernie. :'''Rock''': Well, she's a pretty simple character. She has a degree in biochemistry, sleeps upside down, and fought in six wars. :'''Paper''': What is this show? :'''Scissors''': ''[standing up against the bathroom door, having to have heard everything]'' Not a Stephernie, huh? :'''Paper''': I'm sorry! I just wanted to be a part of something! Don't punish me! :'''Scissors''': ''[kneels down]'' Who even are you? Brobby, the Wizard, Cheesy the Iguana? :'''Paper''': Seriously, what is this show? <hr width="50%"> :'''Wizard''': Listen, Fire Hydrant, I'm your brother. And I don't think this man you're dating is right for you. :'''Fire Hydrant''': I can't help it. I like my men like I like my fires… Smokin'! <hr width="50%"> :'''Creepo''': Hey, pal. ''You're'' the Creepo here. Here's your popsicle stick and your chest hair. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': I'm sorry, Paper. I should have never tried to dunk you in a vat of hot lava just for not identifying with the same fictional TV character. :'''Paper''': And ''I'm'' sorry that-- ''[realizes]'' actually, my thing wasn't that bad. ===''Potato / The Fart Joke Debate [1.13]''=== :'''Paper''': It's "The Paper Show"! Get ready for a one-man show starring Paper and his many talents. ''[Logan gets up and walks away]'' The greatest juggling act you've ever seen in three... two... ''[throws some things which are deadly and screams]'' Hey, dummy. Want to sing as I drink milk? ''[drinks milk and notices a dummy is not singing]'' No. Gonna do some improv for you. I just need a word to get started. :'''Scissors''': Jacket! :'''Paper''': Can I get another word? :'''Pencil''': Circus! :'''Paper''': Can I get a fruit that's round and orange? :'''Rock''': Kumquat! :''[Paper rolls his eyes, thinking of another plan to entertain his friends]'' :'''Paper''': ''[rapping]'' When I say "Paper", you say "rules".

I just don't like fart jokes. :''[everyone gasps in horror]'' :'''Rock''': What did you say? :'''Paper''': I don't think they're funny. :''[everyone gasps again]'' :'''Scissors''': Not even Long Squeakers? :'''Pencil''': Butt Trumpets? :'''Rock''': Wet and Nasties? :'''Paper''': Ew, what? No. :'''Scissors''': ''[to Pencil and Rock]'' Guys, drop any plans you had. It's time we prove to Paper that fart jokes… ''are'' funny. ===''Paper's Secret Weapon / The Sled Hill [1.14]'' === :'''Paper''': ''[mumbling to himself while working]'' Stupid Euclid. Easy to be smart when you were alive. There were only, like, three numbers back then. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Paper. What are you working on? :'''Paper''': ''[turns around with an angry face]'' I did it. You didn't believe in me, but I created a tabletop fusion reactor that can produce unlimited clean energy! :'''Rock''': Whoa. :'''Scissors''': Now this is a winner. The judges are gonna love it. :'''Paper''': Yeah, and then I'm gonna hurricane kick them in the face! ''[karate kicks a wall and runs off]'' :'''Rock''': We might have made him a little too angry. :'''Scissors''': Yeah. If he kicks a judge, he's definitely gonna lose. Then he'll be sad and angry. :'''Rock''': ''[to Paper who's stomping, kicking, and growling]'' Paper, your invention is amazing. I'm proud of you now, and always. :''[A rainbow appears from his head and into Paper's head reverting him to his normal happy self]'' :'''Paper''': Thanks, Rock. I really appreciate that. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Scissors, I forbid you from sledding down that hill. It's a slippery slope ''straight'' to the emergency room. Also, don't add anything I didn't say during this flashback. I'm a big stick-in-the-mud, poopy-pants, poop-poop guy. <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[runs up to Scissors who's lying on the ground]'' Scissors, are you alright? :'''Scissors''': ''[sits up]'' Oh, my arm. :'''Rock''': ''[looks at Scissors' right arm]'' Looks okay to me. ''[sees his broken left arm]'' Oh, the ''broken'' arm. :'''Scissors''': ''[whining]'' Rock, I can't move it. I think it's stuck like this. :'''Rock''': Don't worry. I got a first aid kit from Chad's Medical School. ''[opens the case and springs pop out of it]'' It's also a comedy school. :'''Scissors''': ''[groans]'' :'''Rock''': We gotta get Paper. :'''Scissors''': No! You know Paper. He's gonna say, "I was right" like he always does, and turn it into a whole production. We just have to hide this from him until my arm heals. Are you with me? :'''Rock''': I'm with you. ''[high fives Scissors, causing him to scream in pain and his arm starts throbbing]'' Oh, right. Your arm. ===''Scissors' Catapult / Pencil and Potato [1.15]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[tries to turn on the lamp but it doesn't work]'' Huh, bulb's dead. I should probably go to the store and get a new one. ''[he goes to the roof instead]'' However did I get here? Oh, perhaps Rock's right. It seems irresponsible to- ''[he catapults the lamp into the sky and laughs joyfully]'' I’M FINALLY ALIVE!!!! I got to find more stuff. ''[whistles but accidentally breaks a toaster]'' Whoops! Guess I gotta catapult this toaster. ''[accidentally breaks the chair]'' Oh, no! Can't sit on a broken chair… Guess I gotta catapult that too. ''[tries to push the fridge to make it fall]'' And is this fridge gonna fall? ''[straining]'' Is this… fridge… gonna… Ah, come on! :'''Rock''': Paper, are you breaking things to justify catapulting them? '''Future Kevin''': If you're not going to mow my lawn, I'll make ''you'' mow my lawn! '''Future Scissors''': ''[while wearing a horse costume]'' You wouldn't hurt a horse, would you?<hr width="50%"> :'''Pencil''': But we hiked up this mountain together, and I don't know to get back home! :'''Scissors''': There's no time, Pencil! There's no time for anything! :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub? :'''Rock''': Flub-Bub wants to go to Lobster Fest. :'''Paper''': Oh, there's definitely time for Lobster Fest. : : : :'''Potato''': Oh, this is bad. We're gonna miss Lobster Fest. : : : : :'''Waitress''': I loved that helicopter ride, Flub-Bub. It was so romantic. :''[Flub-Bub nods his head then tents his fingers waiting for something to say]'' :'''Rock''': Oh, no. He's running out of conversation. :'''Scissors''': Quick! Feed him a line! : :'''Paper''': Uh… ''[touches his ear that is under a headset with his finger]'' Flub-Bub. : : :'''Flub-Bub''': Flub-Bub! :'''Waitress''': ''[swoons]'' Oh, Flub-Bub. :''[Rock, Paper and Scissors sigh in relief]'' :'''Scissors''': Good save, Paper. I think we just avoided a huge catastrophe. :'''Flub-Bub''': ''[turns into a giant alien monster called a Flub-Bubby, causing the Waitress to scream and run away; in deep voice]'' Flub-Bubby! :'''Rock''': Oh. :'''Scissors''': Right. :'''Paper''': Totally forgot about that. ===''Resolutions / Paper's Book Club [1.16]''=== :'''Scissors''': You know calculators are usually smaller than that, right? And don't run on someone shoveling in coal? :'''Paper''': Whatever, it works. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ah, Paper's such a jerk. Making fun of me just 'cause I didn't do my resolution, and also forgot what it was. Well, I'll show him. I still have 12 hours to complete it, and prove I'm not a failure. :'''Rock''': And I'm going to help you, because my resolution was to help as many people as I can with their resolutions. :'''Scissors''': But isn't helping people what you normally do? I mean, your resolution could have just as easily been be a rock this year. :'''Rock''': You know, you can be a jerk sometimes too. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': ''[talking about Scissors' resolution]'' January 1st: Scissors sees a poorly-translated Foreign film called ''"Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success"''. :'''Buff Man''': I lift weight, prove I big success! :'''Paper''': The resolution is made. January 2nd: Scissors buys every piece of gym equipment he can find and a giant tub of muscle powder. ''[Scissors tries to open the lid]'' But he's not strong enough to open the lid. January 3rd: Scissors eats an entire chocolate cake, feels badly about himself, and gives up on his resolution. And that's the end of the story. Although, there was a day in mid July where Scissors remembered the resolution and had a moment of renewed resolve. But then he ate another entire chocolate cake and felt terrible about himself. :''[Scissors moans in disappointment]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': How am I so weak? I ate 50 raw eggs. :'''Rock''': You did what?! :''[Scissors queasily pukes in the toilet due to a bad pain in his stomach]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Ugh, I'm gonna look like a fool! Paper makes me so mad I could just flip this… ''[tries to flip over the weight bench]'' well, maybe not the weight bench, but these tinier weights! ''[tries to flip them]'' Or at least this weight bench instruction manual! ''[tries to flip the manual; groans]'' How is this possible?! ''[later sits on the floor, watching "Buff Man Lift 450 Pounds Be Success" while eating an entire chocolate cake and feeling horrible about himself… as usual]'' <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[to Paper]'' Hey, can we talk for a second? ''[looks at the camera]'' Uh, off camera? ''[cut to them in his room, with the camera filming them]'' Look, I know I'm a failure. You know I'm a failure. But… but it's another thing for millions of people to see that on the big screen. So I'm begging you, please don't finish this documentary. :'''Paper''': ''[sighs]'' Scissors, I'm glad you told me that… ''[turns to the camera]'' because I needed it for this movie! ''[laughs and leaves]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Scissors lifts up Paper's calculator and throws it out of the apartment building and it crashes into the street, with hamsters crawling out of it before the clock strikes 12:00]'' :'''Rock''': There were hamsters in there? :'''Paper''': ''[to Scissors]'' How the heck did you do that?! That calculator weighted 450 pounds! :'''Scissors & Rock''': ''[both gasp; simultaneously]'' I completed my New Year's resolution! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': Let's sharpen our pens! ''[sharpens his pen with a pencil sharpener and getting his face covered in ink]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors! Scissors, stop! Let me sharpen ''my'' pen! ''[does the same thing like Scissors did]'' :''[Words appear reading: '''"Don't try this at home. Obviously."''']'' :'''Paper''': ''[annoyed while he facepalms]'' Doofuses. ''[suddenly gets an idea]'' Wait. That's it! I can feel smart if I surround myself with doofuses! I'll just start a book club with the least intelligent people I know! <hr width="50%"> :'''News Reporter''': This just in, multiple business owners are sad today, as they've had to close from all the free things they've given away to satisfy customer complaints. And as we all know, the only people who write complaints are whiny little poops. Here's a sketch of what such poops may or may not look like. :''[A drawing sketch of Rock and Scissors is shown]'' :'''Rock''': ''[shocked]'' Oh, no, we're hurting people! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': ''[attempting to return all the free stuff]'' I'm giving it back! :'''Scissors''': ''[trying to stop him]'' You're not giving it back! :'''Paper''': ''[barges into the apartment]'' Guys, I'm in trouble! My book club starts in 20 minutes, and I… ''[looks around at all the free stuff]'' have no idea what this is. :'''Rock''': Scissors and I wrote complaints to get free things, but we took it too far, and now we have to return all this stuff we don't deserve. Clothes, phones. ''[A pink flamingo walks past them]'' I don't even know what we complained about to get that. :'''Paper''': Wait. That's it! I don't need to understand the book. I just need to complain that it's ''bad,'' because people who complain are automatically viewed as right. :'''Scissors''': See? We're right. Besides, everything we complained about is totally justified. :'''Rock''': Really? Well, then why do we have all the heads from Easter Island? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': Thanks for coming into the Nickelodeon offices today, Scissors. We brought you in because we received a complaint letter from, well, him. :''[Rock sits next to her and crosses his arms while glaring at Scissors, revealing he's the one who wrote the letter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[offended]'' Oh, you whiny little poop. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[reading the letter] '''"Dear Nickelodeon… In your program, "Rock Paper Scissors", Scissors' behavior has been morally reprehensible."''''' :'''Scissors''': Everyone's ''so'' sensitive. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[continues reading] '''"He rarely learns lessons, and, when given the opportunity to grow, continues with awful behavior."''''' :'''Scissors''': Yeah, that's what makes me fun. :'''Nickelodeon Executive''': ''[finishes reading] '''"This is not a character who should be exposed to our children.

Time to run a marathon! ''[exits the apartment building, and is surprised to see the whole town celebrating and watching a parade led by Rock]'' :'''Rock''': Happy International Rock Day! :'''Paper''': International Rock Day? That's not a real holiday. :'''Rock''': Sure, it is. Every July 13th, we throw rock beads… We hit rock piñatas… And we just generally rock out, especially Scissors. :'''Scissors''': ''[leading a marching band]'' Whoo-hoo! I love this parade energy! Let's keep the party going! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': (Hello?) Is this the Committee of National Holidays? :'''Rock''': ''[turning around in his chair, revealing himself]'' You bet it is! :'''Paper''': ''[suprised]'' Rock?! ''You're'' on the committee?! :'''Rock''': Yeah, I'm the head of it, along with the representatives of National Pencil Day, National Potato Day, National Bubble-blowing Day, and of course, National Raspberry Cake Day. :'''Raspberry Cake''': I'm cake. :'''Paper''': ''[disbelieved]'' Good Lord. Anyway, I'd like a day, please. :''[The representatives all laugh]'' :'''Rock''': Paper, we don't just ''give'' out days. :'''Pencil''': Yeah, each one of us has presented a case for why we deserve one. :'''Potato''': I don't even know how I got here. :'''Pencil''': Yes, you do, Potato. You gave a speech that brought us to tears. <hr width="50%"> :'''Potato''': That presentation was ''terrible.'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper enter the apartment, carrying a bunch of groceries]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, can you help us bring in the groceries? :'''Scissors''': ''[sitting on the couch, holding a sandwich]'' I would, but my hands are full. :'''Rock''': Well, just put it down. :'''Scissors''': ''[now holding a lamp]'' Now I have another thing. :'''Paper''': Scissors! :''[Scissors whistles while holding a sandwich, a lamp, and three bowling balls]'' :'''Rock''': Scissors, come on! Can you just help us ''one'' time? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': I don't see what the big deal is. It's just putting away some groceries. :'''Scissors Citizen''': Oh, sure, first you're putting away groceries. Next you're donating a kidney! :''[All the Scissors in the court shout angrily]'' :'''Chairman Scissors''': ''[banging the gavel]'' Order! Order! Have you forgotten ''why'' we don't help? Don't you remember the Ice Cream incident? <hr width="50%"> :'''Nice Scissors''': Excuse me. Could I talk to you about helping? :'''Traffic Cop Scissors''': Can't you see I'm busy directing traffic?

Who would do this to me? ''[sadly]'' Who would do this to me?! ''[furiously]'' WHO WOULD DO THIS TO ME?! ''[After Rock catches Paper with a fishing pole]'' '''Paper''': No! Please! Please! '''Rock''': ''[holds up tape]'' It's folding time. '''Paper''': Forgive me! Forgive me! No! '''Rock''': ''[reveals the words on the tape saying "Gotcha"] [happy]'' Gotcha! '''Paper''': What? '''Scissors''': ''[runs up to him]'' Gotcha! Oh, man. We got you so good! '''Paper''': What the heck is going on? '''Rock''': We knew you did the glitter bomb the whole time. '''Scissors''': So we thought it'd be funny if Rock pretended to be ''enraged'' by it and go on a crazy manhunt to scare you. '''Paper''': What?! '''Scissors''': Yeah, all of us were in on it. The mailman, Chad BrockChad, all the prisoners. '''Rock''': ''[giggles]'' Pretty funny, huh, Paper? '''Paper''': Are you insane? This isn't funny at all! I thought my life was in danger! '''Scissors''': It's just a joke. '''Paper''': I've been living Alaska for eight months! I bought a house here! I- ''[stammers]'' Look. I should have never tried to be funny, but you two shouldn't have either, so no more jokes. Okay? From now on, let's just all agree that none of us are funny. '''Rock''': Yeah.

I forgot how absorbent they are! <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': Chad was right not to work with us. Our business was a huge failure. :'''Scissors''': ''[sobbing]'' AND MINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! :'''Rock''': Yeah, we heard about that. ''[outside the apartment building, a giant diaper rolls down the street, passing by]'' It's okay, Scissors. I'm sure everyone will forget about this once a better diaper comes along. :'''Scissors''': How could you make a better diaper? It would have to have Bluetooth, compatibility, be reversible, and get out the toughest stains, with half the calories! ''[Rock and Paper both gasp and take out their invention, believing he's signifying it]'' It would need to keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold, and I wouldn't want my face on it, and it'd had to have, I'll just randomly say, Paper's face… ''[Rock and Paper both sulk]'' Or Rock's. ===''Trash [1.20]''=== :'''Paper''': ''[sniffs an unpleasant smell]'' What is that smell? :'''Scissors''': ''[looks at the garbage with some flies buzzing around]'' I think it's Rock. :'''Paper''': Scissors, you still haven't taken out the trash? :'''Scissors''': ''[waving his hand; dismissively]'' Yeah, yeah.

I know I usually antagonize you in situations like this, but I'm really not invested here. Rock and I are apartment-sitting for Pencil this week, and we're gonna play with all her cool gadgets, which seems like way more fun than this… frankly sad 3rd grade development.

We're looking for flies. :'''Paper''': Could we just acknowledge this?! This is insane! I mean, Rock, do ''you'' know quantum mechanics? :'''Rock''': Of course! I learned it in the 3rd grade. <hr width="50%"> :'''Catalina''': I'll be back, Scissors! And next time, I'll take you down! :'''Scissors''': Not if I take you down first. :'''Catalina''': How could you?! You have the brain of an ant! :'''Scissors''': And you have the face of the dead! :'''Catalina''': I hate you so much! :'''Scissors''': I HATE YOU MORE! :''[They slowly start to kiss, but snap out of it and look away from each other, awkwardly]'' :'''Catalina''': Anyway, you're the worst. :'''Scissors''': Yeah, uh… same to you. :'''Rock''': What is happening with them?! ===''The Origami Robot / Scissors Sees An Inspirational Sports Movie [2.05]''=== :''[The trio's apartment is being decorated for the holidays and Paper and Pencil are decorating the Christmas tree together]'' :'''Paper''': ''[sighs dreamily]'' I love the holidays.

Why?! :'''Scissors''': Rock dared me to! :'''Rock''': No, I said, "Don't do that!" :'''Scissors''': Which I took as a dare! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': I'm with Paper. This really is the best time of year. :'''Paper''': It is.

That's what we should do! :'''Paper''': See? He got there. ''[he and his friends leave with their invention]'' :'''Logan''': ''[frustrated]'' D'oh! I can't believe they're gonna beat us! They are such… good guys. :'''Brody''': Actually, I think we'll still win. :'''Logan''': What do you mean? :'''Brody''': I saw a flaw in the device's engine. If they try to use that thing, it'll explode. :'''Derf''': Yes! :'''Brogan''': Sweet! :'''Logan''': All right! :'''Rat Bros''': Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! Nice, bro! :'''Brody''': ''[quietly as Logan and Brogan walk away]'' Nice, bro. :'''Derf''': ''[noticing Brody's timidity; concerned]'' Hey, are you okay? :'''Brody''': Yeah, I'm cool. ''[chuckles awkwardly]'' Cool. I'm cool! Ha-ha. Cool guy. Super cool Brody. Listen, can I tell you something? You remember how I got my PhD from Princeton, right? :'''Derf''': Yeah, in two days. Very impressive. :'''Brody''': Well, I got a job at a hospital working in robotic prosthetics. ''[Flashback begins with him putting some robotic arms on an armless patient named Mr. Drake]'' All right, Mr. Drake. Test them out. :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[grips his robotic arms, controlling them; surprised]'' Oh, my gosh. I-I can wave! I can point! I can… ''[uses them to scratch an itch on his behind]'' Oooh, I've been waiting to scratch that for 25 years! :'''Brody''': ''[voice-over]'' But then, something weird happened. :'''Mr. Drake''': Could I… hug you? It would be the first hug I've ever given. :'''Brody''': ''[unsure]'' Um… I don't really-- :'''Mr. Drake''': ''[hugging him; sobbing happily]'' Thank you, Brody. You changed my life! :'''Brody''': ''[hugs him in return with his eyes tearing up; voice-over]'' It felt amazing! And for the first time, I had a new thought. :''[Zoom into his brain]'' :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. :'''Brody's Neuron #1''': Be good. :'''Brody's Neurons''': Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. Be good. :'''Brody's Neuron #2''': We really should shower, though. :'''Brody's Neurons''': NO! :''[Back to the present]'' :'''Brody''': I think… I think I might be a good guy. :'''Derf''': ''[gasps in dramatic shock]'' No. Brody, no. A-are you sure? :'''Brody''': This morning, I wrote a big check to a food bank! :'''Derf''': But you know the rules… jerks are cool. Good guys are… I don't even know! :'''Brody''': Derf, I get it. But I'm thinking about that machine and… it just feels wrong to do nothing. Those homes would help so many people. :'''Derf''': Look, I know it's tough, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices in life. Do you want to foster the well-being of millions… or be cool? ''[starts to walk away]'' :'''Brody''': Hey, Derf… when you were saving the whales, were you thinking about beating Rock, Paper, and Scissors, or about how good it felt to save those whales? :'''Derf''': ''[thinking for a second]'' Get some rest, bro. ''[resumes walking away]'' <hr width="50%"> :''[Next day at the Nobel Prize ceremony… while the trio are preparing to present their house-building invention, Brody sneaks into backstage to fix it, but finds Logan already there, feeling deeply betrayed after finding out about his and Derf's conversation]'' :'''Brody''': ''[hesitantly]'' Logan! :'''Logan''': ''[disappointed]'' I knew I'd find you here. Your "nice, bro" chest bump yesterday was lackluster at best. I gotta say, I feel betrayed… like Edmond Dantès in ''The Count of Monte Cristo.'' :'''Brody''': That's a very literate reference. :'''Logan''': Ah, we covered a lot in tutoring. :'''Brody''': I'm sorry, but I can't let that device explode. :'''Logan''': Spot me. :'''Brody''': ''[having to have heard that; shocked]'' What? Here?! :'''Logan''': I wanna do a set. ''[Brody reluctantly obeys and sets down the pliers]'' Why are you doing this, Brody?! :'''Brody''': The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of. :'''Logan''': Is that Blaise Pascal? :'''Brody''': We covered a lot in tutoring. <hr width="50%"> :'''Logan''': ''[to Brody; irked]'' You said it wouldn't work! Ugh, whatever. We'll find another way to get Rock, Paper, and Scissors. ''[walks off]'' :'''Brody''': ''[turns to the invention; puzzled]'' But how did it not explode? :'''Derf''': ''[off-screen]'' I guess we'll never know. :'''Brody''': ''[turns to him holding the pliers, revealing '''he's''' the one who fixed it; surprised]'' Derf?! :'''Derf''': ''[hands Brody back the pliers]'' Maybe being a good guy is cool too. ''[walks off into the sunset as Brody smiles touchingly, realizing that his conversation with him changed his mind]'' :'''Paper''': ''[with his foot stuck in the saddle's stirrup]'' HELP! I'm stuck in the stirrup! <hr width="50%"> :''[Rock and Paper burst through the walls of Pencil, the Rat Bros, and Lou's apartments, screaming excitedly when Scissors tells them he's going on a romantic date with famous pop star, Lolly]'' :'''Paper''': Scissors, I don't know if you know this, but we're big Lolly fans. :'''Rock''': Yeah, we're in the Lolly Army. ''[he and Paper put on Lolly ponytails]'' :'''Paper''': How did you get a date with her? :'''Scissors''': I just asked. See, most men are afraid of rejection, but not me. I'm used to rejection. <hr width="50%"> :'''Paper''': First of all, every track is a banger. :'''Rock''': Also, this Scissors guy sounds like a jerk. <hr width="50%"> :''[Lolly writes an album about her breakup with Scissors after their disastrous date when he accidentally spilled his spaghetti on her dress, making him become the most hated person on Earth]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the TV after watching the news]'' This is terrible! I gotta go down to Convenient News and tell everyone I'm not a bad guy! ''[walks down the street, passing an angry crowd, booing at him]'' I know, I know, but I'll explain everything on TV! :'''Driver''': This is for Lolly! ''[splashes water on him]'' :'''Driver #2''': This is also for Lolly! ''[splashes more water on him]'' :'''Driver #3''': ''[throwing out a bucket of snakes at him]'' EAT SNAKES, JERK! <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[returns to the apartment; bummed]'' Of all the bad days in my life, that probably broke the top 50. ''[sees his friends dancing to Lolly's album]'' :'''Paper''': By the way, I'd also recommend not going online. :'''Rock''': We wrote some really nasty stuff. :'''Scissors''': ''[turns off the music]'' Guys, this is serious! I can't even leave the house! I gotta get everyone to stop hating me. :'''Rock''': I don't know how you could do that. :'''Paper''': Yeah, Lolly's the victim here. :'''Scissors''': ''[as an idea pops into his head]'' That's it! ''That's'' how you win over the public sympathy! I just need to out-victim Lolly. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[apologizing to everyone after hearing the song]'' I just heard the song for the first time, and I understand why you and Lolly are upset (with me). I was so consumed by my desire to be loved that I didn't see I was taking advantage of her fame. It was selfish and immature, and I never want to hurt anyone like that again. I'm truly, truly sorry. Will you accept my apology? :''[After a brief moment…]'' :'''Everyone''': NO! <hr width="50%"> :'''Lolly''': This is ''way'' out of hand! Sure, Scissors messed up, but he doesn't deserve ''this.'' And frankly, you guys are so intense sometimes it scares me. I mean, is that a mythological war hammer?! ''[Paper is shown to be holding and electrical war hammer and he and Rock sadly hang their heads down]'' So please, take it down a notch. And you don't need to do things like this for me. I'm not a god. ''[stops the meteor from hitting the Earth; voice booming] '''NO!''''' :'''Meteor''': Whatever you say, Lolly! Love the new album! ''[flies away into space]'' :''[Everyone leaves, saying sorry]'' :'''Paper''': Sorry, Lolly. :'''Lolly''': I heard your apology. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And I'll admit, I probably shouldn't have written 16-full length songs about why you were terrible. :'''Scissors''': Sixteen? I thought you only wrote ten. :'''Lolly''': No, I only released ten. I might release the other six as bonus tracks. ''[Everyone comes back, screaming excitedly]'' But I might not! :'''Everyone''': ''[disappointed]'' Aww! ''[walk away]'' :'''Lolly''': Hey, all this aside, I did still have fun with you. So maybe we could go on a second date. What do you think? :'''Scissors''': ''[thinking about it for a moment]'' Hard pass. :'''Lolly''': What? :'''Scissors''': Do you have any idea how awful you made my life? I was the most hated man on Earth. The nation of Japan publicly denounced me. And I was almost torn apart by 2,000 psychopaths in bows. So, yes, I '''''did''''' learn a lesson, but it was to never, ever date pop stars. Hard pass. ''[walks away]'' :'''Lolly''': That wasn't very nice. I should write an album about that. ===''Paper Takes the Phones / The Bedtime Story [2.07]''=== :''[Paper takes away Rock and Scissors' phones for confiscation, forcing them to spend quality with him in putting together a puzzle]'' :'''Rock''': Hey! :'''Scissors''': Give it back! :'''Paper''': You know, I just want us all to connect, but you're always on your phones. :'''Scissors''': Name one comedic example. <hr width="50%"> :''[The Rat Bros are in Derf's room, hearing the trio arguing from under while Derf is asleep with his face drawn on with a marker]'' :'''Logan''': Those guys are so inconceivable. ===''Scissors is a Good Boy / Paper's Family Get-Together [2.08]''=== :'''Franz''': Wait. Who is that? ''[points to Scissors, and pats him on the head, mistaking him for a dog]'' Look at you! You are such a good boy! :'''Scissors''': ''[baffled]'' Does he think I'm a dog? :'''Franz''': ''[throws a ball]'' Fetch! :'''Scissors''': I mean, I'm gonna get the ball. It's a cool ball. :'''Franz''': ''[turns to Rock]'' Rock, your dog is amazing! :'''Rock''': Uh, that's not my dog. :'''Franz''': So it's a stray? I must have it! ''[to Scissors]'' How'd you like to come live with your new doggie daddy? :'''Scissors''': Dude, I'm '''''not''''' a dog. <hr width="50%"> :'''Scissors''': ''[as the veterinarian checks his ears]'' This is great! They got rid of all my worms and fleas! <hr width="50%"> :'''Rock''': How is none of this bothering you? Don't you feel shame? :'''Scissors''': Normally? Every waking second. But all that shame goes away when I'm surrounded by expensive things. :'''Franz''': ''[off-screen]'' Doggie! I got you a new toy! ''[presents Scissors a helicopter]'' :'''Scissors''': ''[laughs]'' I don't know what he thinks a dog is, but I wanna keep being one! <hr width="50%"> :''[While the trio are fighting against Dr. Big Bat over a big strawberry, Paper gets a reminder on his phone for his annual family get-together]'' :'''Paper''': Oh, no. :'''Scissors''': What? :'''Rock & Scissors''': Oh, no. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': What? What is it? :'''Paper''': I totally forgot. Today's my annual family get-together. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Oh, well, we can reschedule, if you need to go. :'''Paper''': No, it's not that. It's… ''[sighs deeply]'' I come from a family of ''very'' high achievers. There's my sister, Sandpaper, an action movie star. My brother, Toilet Paper, a popular stand-up comedian. My mom, Newspaper, an award-winning journalist. My dad, Parchment Paper, a famous pastry chef. And then there's me… the dud. :'''Dr. Big Bat''': Wait, why is your name the only one that's not a specific type of paper? :'''Paper''': I actually go by my middle name. My full name's Plain Paper. :'''Scissors''': What?! ''[laughs]'' That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! I'm gonna get as much mileage out of that as possible! :'''Paper''': Every time we get together, my family goes around the table and says what they accomplished in the last year. Everyone says something incredible until it gets to me. I share something stupid… then my family says, "Wow, Paper. That's really something." And then they give me a cookie. I've always wanted to do something incredible, but nothing I do is. And don't want to be humiliated again. <hr width="50%"> :''[Paper arrives at his family home where his family is in the living room, watching home movies]'' :'''Newspaper''': You're just in time for home movies. :'''Toilet Paper''': There I am, recording my first special. :'''Sandpaper''': There I am, practicing my kicks. :'''Newspaper''': And there's Paper. Is he gonna mix those chemicals? :'''Toilet Paper''': ''[laughs]'' You always had the highest hospital bills. :'''Parchment Paper''': ''[enters with a cake]'' Okay, time to eat. I hope everyone like Forever Cake. <hr width="50%"> :'''Parchment Paper''': Paper? What's going on? And why are your friends here? :'''Scissors''': We kidnapped Paper too? :'''Rock''': Because we have beef and… Uh… Come back to me. :'''Paper''': What's going on is I don't want to go back to that table! You don't know how humiliating it is to hear about all the incredible things you do every year because I never do any myself. ''[to Sandpaper]'' You're working on big action movies, ''[to his mother]'' you're breaking national news, and I'm just Plain Paper. That's why I staged this kidnapping. Rock, Scissors, and I were fighting Dr. Big Bat over a giant strawberry we grew for the county fair, and we thought he'd make a good kidnapper. But then you got through all the bats, so I had to call a bunch of people I met over the past year. Like the ghosts we befriended when we tried to get the perfect holiday picture, the tortoises I accidentally made huge from toxic ooze and taught martial arts in the sewer, and the Hipponoids from the time I stopped their invasion and saved Earth. :'''Newspaper''': Hold on. You did all that in the last year? :'''Paper''': ''[sadly]'' Yeah, I go on a lot of silly adventures. :'''Sandpaper''': Paper, that's not silly at all. :'''Paper''': It's not? :'''Parchment Paper''': Are you kidding? Who goes on adventures like that? :'''Toilet Paper''': Yeah, that's… That's incredible! :'''Rock''': Ah, that's why I should've said. ===''Moonami 12 / Spider Court [2.09]''=== :'''Scissors''': ''[gazing at the cow-tsunami coming towards him; sadly]'' Our tradition is ruined. We don't have snacks, my friends are gone, and I'm just a cow. A big, dumb cow. :'''Max''': Then take off the costume. :'''Scissors''': I can't, Max. I'm only wearing underwear. :'''Max''': ''[kneels down to him]'' You can still get the job done. Because what do I always say? :'''Scissors & Max''': Everybody gets down sometimes, but the important thing is to get back up, because up is the opposite of down and staying down just means you've given up, but I never give up, I only get down, because I'm Max Moonami, the guy who rides cows. :'''Max''': That's right. :'''Scissors''': Hey, Max… thanks. :'''Max''': Don't thank me, Scissors. I just exist in your head. :'''Scissors''': Wait, so I ''can't'' do it? :'''Max''': Uh, don't think about it. ''[to the camera]'' Quick. Zoom out! Zoom out! :''[Zoom out of Scissors' head; He takes off his cow costume and sets it down on the three reserved seats for Rock, Paper, and himself, leaving him in his underwear]'' :'''Scissors''': Nobody sit here! ===''Scissors, the Supervillain / Car Wash Nationals [2.10]''=== ==Season 3== ===''The Watching / Nightmares [3.01]''=== ===''Emotional Support Convertible / The Baseball [3.02]''=== ===''Rock's Half Birthday / Cherry Picking [3.03]''=== ===''The Wish / Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Paper, Scissors [3.04]''=== ===''Salmon Delivery for Ya / The Train Problem [3.05]''=== ===''Hardcore / Scissors' New Therapist [3.06]''=== ===''The Henry Winkler Episode / Paper Loves Potato [3.07]''=== ===''The Secret / Sandpaper's Workout Program [3.08]''=== ===''Paper: Renowned Researcher / Meatball [3.09]''=== ===''The Apology Soirée / Scissors' Perfect Match [3.10]''=== ==Cast== *[[w:Carlos Alazraqui|Carlos Alazraqui]] – Scissors *[[w:Ron Funches|Ron Funches]] – Rock *[[w:Thomas Lennon|Thomas Lennon]] – Paper *[[w:Melissa Villaseñor|Melissa Villaseñor]] – Pencil *[[w:Ray Chase (voice actor)|Ray Chase]] – The Rat Bros; Logan, Brody, Brogan / Baron Von Snootsberg *[[w:Max Mittelman|Max Mittelman]] – Derf the Rat Bro / Shoot *[[w:Eddie Pepitone|Eddie Pepitone]] – Lou Zer *[[w:Lauren Ash|Lauren Ash]] – Sandpaper / Nutso, the Rapping Squirrel *[[w:Betsy Sodaro|Betsy Sodaro]] – Potato *[[w:Eugene Cordero|Eugene Cordero]] – Putty *[[w:Isabela Merced|Isabela Merced]] – The Susan *[[w:Diedrich Bader|Diedrich Bader]] – Chad Brockchad *[[w:JP Karliak|JP Karliak]] – Convenient News Reporter *[[w:Abby Trott|Abby Trott]] – Robot Executive *Marlene Martinez – Astonishing Catalina *[[w:Alessia Cara|Alessia Cara]] – Lolly *[[w:Flula Borg|Flula Borg]] – Franz Roll *[[w:Mallory Jansen|Mallory Jansen]] – Cate Blanket *[[w:Kevin Michael Richardson|Kevin Michael Richardson]] – Dr. Big Bat *Vanessa Marshall – Newspaper *[[w:Chris Parnell|Chris Parnell]] – Parchment Paper *Jay Pharaoh – Toilet Paper [[Category:2020s American animated TV shows]] [[Category:2020s Nickelodeon original series]] [[Category:Traditionally animated TV shows]] [[Category:American children's animated comedy TV shows]] [[Category:Current shows]] [[Category:Nicktoons]] [[Category:Nickelodeon shows]] c5byeyvxyh1u3w0275wcgoz85mf9vp4 SpongeBob SquarePants/Season 15 0 279975 3951891 3939503 2026-06-11T23:44:40Z ~2026-34346-25 3340315 /* Weiner Takes All [15.5a] */ 3951891 wikitext text/x-wiki {{DISPLAYTITLE:''SpongeBob SquarePants''/Season 15}} {{SpongeBob header}} '''''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''''' (1999–present) is an animated TV series, airing on Nickelodeon about the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom.

''[takes off his chef hat and gives it to the restaurant manager]'' I forfeit. ''[jumps off the counter]'' :'''Restaurant manager''': Huh, these kids today.

I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, '''Project Freedom''', will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all.

Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for large scale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner.

I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, '''Project Freedom''', will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all.

Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for large scale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner.

I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, '''Project Freedom''', will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all.

Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for large scale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner.

Asanuma opened the proceedings with this call, urging the audience to stand and bow toward the Imperial Palace. More than half of the participants joined him, though some jeered in protest. === 1947 === * Even if the electoral districts are small and the number of winners are limited, if a party gathers a large number of votes nationwide, it should naturally be able to participate in politics through that support. Therefore, a system that respects political parties must emerge. That is why adopting a policy of carving up the electoral districts into tiny pieces is clearly an act of repression against smaller parties. And if it is repression, '''the end result will be the obstruction of Japanese democracy.''' This is a point that we simply cannot accept. ** [https://teikokugikai-i.ndl.go.jp/#/detail?minId=009213242X03119470330&spkNum=65&current=3 Speech in the 92nd Imperial Diet, 30 March 1947] === 1950 === * I entered Waseda in September of Taishō 6 (or 7), the year of the school disturbances when professors like Nagai Ryūtarō and Ōyama Ikuo resigned.

[...] It ended in a great student brawl, with people like Tokano Takeshi falling from the top of the Ōkuma statue and being injured. Since the day happened to be a Friday, we students called it ''''Bloody Friday''''<nowiki/> and greatly raised our spirits. ** Maa-Maa Koji's Discourse: The Path I Have Walked (1950) (recounting the violent clash over the military research group at Waseda) *After that, there was ongoing confrontation between the Cultural Alliance and the vertically and horizontally aligned club [Yoko-Ou Club], a group of right-leaning students who were the main perpetrators of the violence. '''We were in a state where it was dangerous to walk around in ordinary student attire''' '''because we would be beaten if caught.''' We tried our best to avoid clashes, but about four or five days or a week after the brawl, while walking behind the school, I finally ran into members of the Yoko-Ou Club. 'Come with us for a moment,' they said, and I was taken to their club office. A large group of judo club members surrounded me and said, 'You were incited by socialists to hold that meeting, weren't you? That's outrageous—'''write an apology letter.'''<nowiki/>' '''I replied, 'I wasn't incited by any socialists. As a Waseda student, I acted from a pure standpoint, driven by student passion to protect the founding spirit of Waseda—which Marquis Ōkuma Shigenobu established as a free academy in opposition to the bureaucratic military clique—for the independence of learning and freedom of research. So I cannot write one.'''' '''After that, they beat and kicked me, and I fell into a near-death state.'''

The same can be said of Japan. Those who have come to terms with the war welcomed us very warmly and have come to understand Japan very well.''' ** Maa-Maa Koji's Discourse: The Path I Have Walked (1950) (reflections after a visit to the United States as part of a parliamentary delegation) * I have lived for twenty years in a small apartment in Fukagawa consisting of three rooms: a six-mat room, a four-and-a-half-mat room, and a three-mat room. It is cramped, and I receive many visitors, so I cannot rest properly. Sometimes I think about moving, but after living in one place for so long, I cannot bring myself to decide to leave. The neighbors tell me not to go, and I myself, even though things have improved a little, do not feel like leaving this apartment. Moreover, I serve as the head of the local cooperative here. '''The cooperative runs the bathhouse, fish shop, and vegetable shop, so I am, so to speak, the fishmonger boss, the greengrocer boss, and the bathhouse boss'''. This makes me even closer to everyone in the neighborhood, and because of these human ties, I find it hard to move. ** Maa-Maa Koji's Discourse: The Path I Have Walked (1950) [[File:Asanuma-Inejiro 1948.jpg|thumb|People often call me 'Maa-Maa Koji'''<nowiki/>'<nowiki/>''' or say I am indecisive, timid, passive, etc. But in a mass organization, once a policy is decided at a congress, if everyone abides by it, there will be neither conflict nor split.]] * People often call me ''''Maa-Maa Koji''''<nowiki/> or say I am indecisive, timid, passive, etc. But in a mass organization, once a policy is decided at a congress, if everyone abides by it, there will be '''neither conflict nor split.''' ** Maa-Maa Koji's Discourse: The Path I Have Walked (1950) * No matter how many different arguments may arise, I think it is fine to bring things together where they need to be brought together. In a mass organization like the Socialist Party, there should be someone who can be called '''a unifier.''' ** Maa-Maa Koji's Discourse: The Path I Have Walked (1950) * As I said during the recent party self-criticism, everyone must adopt the attitude of being a pure Socialist Party member — that is, ''''I am a Socialist Party member.

The people, having won independence six years after the end of the war, have regained the national awareness that was lost under occupation and are burning with enthusiasm to rebuild as a democratic nation. Yet the Yoshida Cabinet fails entirely to respond to this passion of the people. Instead, it blindly follows America in foreign policy while racing full speed ahead on a reactionary and reverse course in domestic policy. '''This is raising the specter of fascist reactionary politics''' that drives progressive citizens to despair, while on the other hand giving the Communist Party room to run wild, '''opening the path to totalitarianism of both the left and right, and placing the homeland and democracy in crisis.''' ** [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001487/files/51165_41909.html Speech supporting the no-confidence motion against the Yoshida Cabinet, 14 March 1953] * '''We must recognize that if a nation’s security is guaranteed by another country’s military for a long period, independence will turn into subordination.''' ** Speech supporting the no-confidence motion against the Yoshida Cabinet, 14 March 1953 * The fact that Japanese courts have no jurisdiction over those residing in Japan [U.S. forces and dependents] constitutes a form of extraterritoriality, and '''cannot be called complete independence.''' ** Speech supporting the no-confidence motion against the Yoshida Cabinet, 14 March 1953 * '''Moreover, when we look at the territorial issue: while it may be unavoidable that territories acquired by Japan during its period of expansion are returned to their respective countries, we have lost sovereignty over South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.'''

[...] Terrified, I ran outside, and later when I returned home, I hid inside a straw sack. ** My Resume (私の履歴書), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, 1956 (book form: 1957). * '''In Taishō 5 [1916], after graduating from the Prefectural Third Middle School, I told my father, ‘I want to enter Waseda University and become a politician,’''' but he scolded me severely.

When a guard passed by on patrol, I requested, 'I'm bored, so please let me read a book.' The guard curtly refused, saying 'I'm busy,' but I persistently demanded it anyway. That seems to have been a mistake. Around 9 p.m., I was dragged to the guards' station and told, 'Say what you said earlier again.' When I replied, 'I just said to lend me a book,' he said, 'You were being cheeky with that mouth,' and jammed two fingers into my mouth, yanked me up, threw me to the floor, and they all beat, kicked, and pummeled me. On top of that, when I was returned to my cell, I was handcuffed behind my back with leather handcuffs. The leather handcuffs lasted about a week, and it was so painful I could barely sleep or eat. However, I was told this was still on the lighter side, which shows how brutal it was under the earthquake emergency. After the leather handcuffs were removed, I was ordered to polish the handcuffs. There is no greater irony than being made to polish the handcuffs that would be put on one's own hands. About a month later I was released, but it was not family or friends who greeted me, it was the special higher police from Waseda Police Station. Having no choice, I went to Waseda Police Station, where I was told, 'Go back to the countryside and behave yourself, or you’ll be detained.' Thus, I dejectedly returned to my hometown on Miyake-jima. Miyake-jima was once an island where exiles were sent, it was truly a 'Taishō-era exile to the islands.' ** My Resume (私の履歴書), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, 1956 (book form: 1957). * This happened just three hours after the party was founded. [...] There is the old saying of a ‘three-day shogun,’ but the Farmer-Labor Party was a three-hour shogun, and accordingly my first term as secretary-general lasted only three hours. ** My Resume (私の履歴書), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, 1956 (book form: 1957). * '''If I gave a speech it was ‘Warning, Stop, Detention.’ If I was at the front of a demonstration it was ‘Detention.’''' Among the social activists of that time, '''it seems I held the top record for number of detentions.''' ** My Resume (私の履歴書), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, 1956 (book form: 1957). * '''However, my voice was not always this rattling voice.''' From my student days, I trained it by shouting against the waves on the banks of the Edo River or the shores of Miyake Island, doing cold training in the fields at midnight in winter, and studying Noh chanting in the Kanze school. [...] Thanks to this training, '''even now I can speak for two or three hours without drinking water.''' * Truly, '''speech was my only weapon of struggle''' throughout more than thirty years of mass movements. ** My Resume (私の履歴書), Nihon Keizai Shimbun, 1956 (book form: 1957). * '''I heard the Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War in a remaining apartment room in Fukagawa.

And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Sugar, for example, shares the same neurochemistry and neural pathways as cocaine. Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' ==W== * According to [[w:David A. Kessler|David Kessler]], the former FDA commissioner, the food industry is not just aiming to satisfy its customers. ... The industry, including the growers, concocters, testers, packagers, marketers, distributors, and retailers, is investing in ''hyperstimulating'' foods—creations with the power to keep us eating.

Forever.<br>The author doesn't have an easy index of "intense" and "xtense" foods at the back but rudimentary intelligence will allow you to figure them out yourself.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Such foods often have high sugar, fat, and salt contents, and markedly activate the reward system in humans and other animals. Those with eating addictions often overconsume such foods despite the adverse consequences (such as excess weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease) associated with their overconsumption. == Quotes == __NOTOC__ {{TOCalpha}} ==A== * Heavy consumption of highly processed foods can alter dopamine and opioid neurotransmission, creating a cycle of bingeing and withdrawal. ** Nicole M.

We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few...

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

A respectable addict, of course. Not like the desperate addicts who have cashed in their mortgage... After all, my drug is cheap, the cheapest of all drugs, and therefore the most pernicious... And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Sugar, for example, shares the same neurochemistry and neural pathways as cocaine. Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' ==W== * According to [[w:David A.

Such foods often have high sugar, fat, and salt contents, and markedly activate the reward system in humans and other animals. Those with eating addictions often overconsume such foods despite the adverse consequences (such as excess weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease) associated with their overconsumption. == Quotes == __NOTOC__ {{TOCalpha}} ==A== * Heavy consumption of highly processed foods can alter dopamine and opioid neurotransmission, creating a cycle of bingeing and withdrawal. ** Nicole M.

A respectable addict, of course. Not like the desperate addicts who have cashed in their mortgage... After all, my drug is cheap, the cheapest of all drugs, and therefore the most pernicious... And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Sugar, for example, shares the same neurochemistry and neural pathways as cocaine. Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food. It's an industrially produced edible substance. ** [[w:Chris_van_Tulleken|Chris van Tulleken]], ''Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn't Food… and Why Can't We Stop?''

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023. ''"How I reprogrammed my brain to quit ultra-processed food."'' * Food addiction isn't a recognised disorder by the World Health Organisation or in the manual of psychiatric illness...

They need to learn to not restrict and to not overeat. ** Philip Werdell, SHiFT Recovery Clinical Paper, ''"Eating Disorders & Food Addiction"'' (2014) * Food addiction begins with physical craving. Physical craving distorts the hunger instinct for some people, making these people want more food than they need.

We eat them until we are full and then we lose interest in them. We don't long for them or fantasise about them or try to give them up or try to limit our intake only to crack and eat them till we feel sick. Did you ever binge out on a head of cabbage followed by some beetroots and turnip mash? Nope. Thought not. Xtense foods just don't have that kind of effect. [[File:Food_Addiction_(286843160).jpg|thumb|right|]]<br>'''"Intense" foods''' however are the "crack cocaine" of the food world. Our bodies cannot deal with them.

If you've ever eaten a family bar of chocolate, or a whole packet of biscuits, or six doughnuts that were on special offer in the supermarket, all by yourself, then this is you.

I actually don't think every human being gets caught in this "intense" food trap, but if you're one of the affected, you'll know who you are.<br>Way back when I first realised I had a problem with food I longed to instead have a problem with cigarettes or even drugs or bad company because I could give them up completely, which, I told myself, would be far easier than having a food problem, as food could never be given up completely.

Forever.<br>The author doesn't have an easy index of "intense" and "xtense" foods at the back but rudimentary intelligence will allow you to figure them out yourself.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Such foods often have high sugar, fat, and salt contents, and markedly activate the reward system in humans and other animals. Those with eating addictions often overconsume such foods despite the adverse consequences (such as excess weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease) associated with their overconsumption. == Quotes == __NOTOC__ {{TOCalpha}} ==A== * Heavy consumption of highly processed foods can alter dopamine and opioid neurotransmission, creating a cycle of bingeing and withdrawal. ** Nicole M.

And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Sugar, for example, shares the same neurochemistry and neural pathways as cocaine. Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food.

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023.

If you've ever eaten a family bar of chocolate, or a whole packet of biscuits, or six doughnuts that were on special offer in the supermarket, all by yourself, then this is you. You have a problem with "intense" foods. I actually don't think every human being gets caught in this "intense" food trap, but if you're one of the affected, you'll know who you are.<br>Way back when I first realised I had a problem with food I longed to instead have a problem with cigarettes or even drugs or bad company because I could give them up completely, which, I told myself, would be far easier than having a food problem, as food could never be given up completely. This book, by categorising foods into "xtense" and "intense" allows you to do exactly that. If it's "intense", give it up. Forever.<br>The author doesn't have an easy index of "intense" and "xtense" foods at the back but rudimentary intelligence will allow you to figure them out yourself. Plus, I do think you have to apply your own life experience to her story and know what works for you. [...]<br> ** From a review filed on Amazon by "Northness" dated 31 March 2012, about Judy Corstjens' 2010 book,'' "Xtensity: Why 5% of Dieters Succeed"''. * I read ''Xtensity'' in one sitting and found it both fun and an eye opener. Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese.

In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food.

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese.

The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food.

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly.

Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

And my drug is everywhere I look: in the drive-through gas station's convenience store, in the supermarket, on the lusciously displayed menu of an exclusive restaurant. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Sugar, for example, shares the same neurochemistry and neural pathways as cocaine. Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food. It's an industrially produced edible substance. ** [[w:Chris_van_Tulleken|Chris van Tulleken]], ''Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn't Food… and Why Can't We Stop?''

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023. ''"How I reprogrammed my brain to quit ultra-processed food."'' * Food addiction isn't a recognised disorder by the World Health Organisation or in the manual of psychiatric illness...

We eat them until we are full and then we lose interest in them. We don't long for them or fantasise about them or try to give them up or try to limit our intake only to crack and eat them till we feel sick. Did you ever binge out on a head of cabbage followed by some beetroots and turnip mash? Nope. Thought not. Xtense foods just don't have that kind of effect. [[File:Food_Addiction_(286843160).jpg|thumb|right|]]<br>'''"Intense" foods''' however are the "crack cocaine" of the food world. Our bodies cannot deal with them. They affect our metabolism and our brain functioning so badly that we cannot apply the mealy-mouthed logic of the [[w:Food_pyramid_(nutrition)|food pyramid]] and only have them in moderation. If you've ever eaten a family bar of chocolate, or a whole packet of biscuits, or six doughnuts that were on special offer in the supermarket, all by yourself, then this is you.

Forever.<br>The author doesn't have an easy index of "intense" and "xtense" foods at the back but rudimentary intelligence will allow you to figure them out yourself.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese. They can regulate their obesity by learning how to change the circumstances that foster poor willpower: better sleep, stress management, improving social skills, and changing a toxic food environment are only a few of the modifications that can be made...<br>Certainly, people suffering from [[w:Eating_disorder|eating disorders]] and [[w:Food_addiction|food addiction]] can also be obese, but their primary condition is not [[w:Obesity|obesity]]. In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]]. Though abstaining from foods is a contentious subject in the scientific literature, there is no question that it will cause a level of discomfort that often drives addicts back to eating...<br>The good news is that detoxification is not a long process; it only lasts for a relatively short period - between one week and four weeks...<br>Cheating by having a bite here or a spoonful there is also an excellent way to suffer withdrawal in perpetuity. Withdrawal will not end if the substance is constantly being reintroduced back into the brain reward pathway. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Feelings of deprivation, obsessions about food, and anxiety arising from unresolved trauma that was being “medicated” by the addictive foods may appear like spectres that linger, worsening before they get better. ** ''Food Junkies'' * From food addiction to food serenity - freedom tastes great! ** ''Food Junkies'' * It's not food.

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

Sweetened chocolate mimics the effects of alcohol and opiates. Flour modulates moods and anaesthetizes pain just as many drugs do. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Obesity, eating disorders, and chemical dependency on food are three distinct and very different diseases -- and demonstrate different behaviors around food. We can categorize the corresponding behaviours of these conditions as problems that occur within the normal eating, emotional eating, and food addiction spectrums.<br>Obesity is entirely a physical problem: a result of eating too many calories while expending too few... Normal eaters simply eat too much... Normal eaters represent a large proportion of the obese.

In their cases, obesity is just another symptom of their emotional disturbance or their food addiction. The underlying [[w:Psychological_trauma|emotional trauma]] that drives the bulimic to stuff himself needs to be addressed first before the physical aspects of obesity can be seriously addressed; likewise, the sugar that is propelling the addictive overeater needs to be removed first before tackling any weight issues. ** ''Food Junkies'' * I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ** ''Food Junkies'' * Withdrawal occurs once a person [[w:Whole_food|stops eating any addictive food]].

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people.

Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

They need to detoxify first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug.

This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel full until long after you’ve finished.<br>• UPF typically has a very high calorie density because it’s dry, and high in fat and sugar and low in fibre, so you get more calories per mouthful.<br>• It displaces diverse whole foods from the diet, especially among low-income groups. And UPF itself is often micronutrient-deficient, which may also contribute to excess consumption.<br> • The mismatch between the taste signals from the mouth and the nutrition content in some UPF alters metabolism and appetite in ways that we are only beginning to understand, but that seem to drive excess consumption.<br>• UPF is addictive, meaning that for some people binges are unavoidable.<br>• The emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches and other additives damage the microbiome, which could allow inflammatory bacteria to flourish and cause the gut to leak.<br>• The convenience, price and marketing of UPF urge us to eat constantly and without thought, which leads to more snacking, less chewing, faster eating, increased consumption, and tooth decay.<br>• The additives and physical processing mean that UPF affects our [[w:Satiety|satiety system]] directly. Other additives may affect brain and endocrine function, and plastics from the packaging might affect fertility.<br>• The production methods used to make UPF require expensive subsidy and drive environmental destruction, carbon emissions and plastic pollution, which harm us all. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * The signals that tell you to ‘stop eating’ haven’t evolved to handle food this soft and easily digested, so soft that it’s essentially pre-chewed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * “So dominant is soy as industrial animal feed that the average person in the UK or Europe consumes approximately 61kg of soy per year, largely in the form of animal products such as chicken, pork, salmon, cheese, milk and eggs. Only 20–30 per cent of imported soy is ‘certified sustainable’ (and we have already discussed how little that means). So, if you live in the UK, there is a tennis court of land producing soy in the tropics just for you, and most of it comes from places like Brazil and Argentina where ecosystems that affect global climate are being destroyed. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * It’s soft and typically calorie dense, so you eat it at a rate that your body can’t keep up with when it comes to feeling full. Things like protein isolates, refined oils and modified carbohydrates are absorbed so quickly they may not even reach the part of the gut that sends the fullness signal to the brain. They’re not things you have evolved to eat. Some of the additives are well known to cause harm – be particularly aware of emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. Emulsifiers can thin the mucus lining of the gut, allowing faecal bacteria to leak into the blood stream and inflaming your whole body. The non-nutritive sweeteners that tell your body sugar is coming but don’t supply any calories seem to cause metabolic stress and changes to the microbiome. Other additives that affect the microbiome are maltodextrins, modified starches and lots of the gums and thickeners. Flavour enhancers (glutamate, guanylate, inosinate and ribonucleotides on ingredient lists) drive excess consumption. Again, they tell your body a lie about the nutritional content of the food you’re eating when they’re added out of context. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * In 2022, a study published in the journal ''Neurology'' looked at data from over 72,000 people. Increasing intake of UPF by 10 per cent was associated with a 25 per cent increase in the risk of dementia and a 14 per cent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ** ''Ultra-Processed People'' * There is an apparently established fact that food isn't addictive... but here's the thing; it's not 'real' food that's addictive, it's UPF, otherwise known as these 'industrially produced edible substances'..." ** Chris van Tulleken, interviewed in ''i News'', 2023.

I actually don't think every human being gets caught in this "intense" food trap, but if you're one of the affected, you'll know who you are.<br>Way back when I first realised I had a problem with food I longed to instead have a problem with cigarettes or even drugs or bad company because I could give them up completely, which, I told myself, would be far easier than having a food problem, as food could never be given up completely. This book, by categorising foods into "xtense" and "intense" allows you to do exactly that. If it's "intense", give it up. Forever.<br>The author doesn't have an easy index of "intense" and "xtense" foods at the back but rudimentary intelligence will allow you to figure them out yourself. Plus, I do think you have to apply your own life experience to her story and know what works for you. [...]<br> ** From a review filed on Amazon by "Northness" dated 31 March 2012, about Judy Corstjens' 2010 book,'' "Xtensity: Why 5% of Dieters Succeed"''. * I read ''Xtensity'' in one sitting and found it both fun and an eye opener. Disguised as a light novel à la Bridget Jones (if Bridget had graduated from Oxford...), '''it is actually a serious reflection on the causes of the current obesity epidemic and the futility of restricted calorie diets. The premise is as follows: evolution has conditioned us to prefer what the author calls "intense" foods, (basically sugar, salt and fat) and the food industry has exploited this evolutionary trait by incessantly peddling an ever increasing variety of attractive, cheap and readily available foods that make us fat. At the same time, our modern day obsession with thinness drives us towards the most absurd diets. However, low calorie diets do not work because evolution has also conditioned us to react to lower food intake as if fighting an impending famine: Feeling hungry triggers survival mechanisms in our body that automatically lower our energy output and produce even more fat cells. The solution is to avoid "intense" foods as much as possible and replace them with "Xtense" healthy nutritious foods. It's not easy to do, but it works.'''

This technique can also be used to personify abstract concepts, as seen in poetry that gives life to feelings like sadness or fortune. Through personification, writers invite readers to engage with their texts on a deeper level, prompting them to see familiar elements in new and imaginative ways. bo7liw1szspw7ynfkwbubb3ncbwgtlp Louis Jouin 0 308240 3951597 3951453 2026-06-11T12:05:47Z UDScott 4304 3951597 wikitext text/x-wiki '''[[w:Louis Jouin|Louis Jouin]]''' (14 June 1818 – 10 June 1899) was a German [[w:Jesuit|Jesuit]] linguist, philosopher, and author. == Quotes == * Protestants and others do not like to hear that the Pope is infallible; because they always considered that they themselves are infallible in almost everything and were unwilling to grant that there was only one man who was so, and that he was so only in a very restricted sphere, and under certain peculiar and special conditions. ** [https://archive.org/details/whatchristreveal00jouiuoft/page/30 ''What Christ Revealed'' (1897)] == External links == {{Wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jouin, Louis}} [[Category:1818 births]] [[Category:Jesuits]] [[Category:1899 deaths]] amp8z130ca42jf5xjj2kz9dh4pt1nc8 3951598 3951597 2026-06-11T12:06:51Z UDScott 4304 + 4 categories using [[Help:Gadget-HotCat|HotCat]] 3951598 wikitext text/x-wiki '''[[w:Louis Jouin|Louis Jouin]]''' (14 June 1818 – 10 June 1899) was a German [[w:Jesuit|Jesuit]] linguist, philosopher, and author. == Quotes == * Protestants and others do not like to hear that the Pope is infallible; because they always considered that they themselves are infallible in almost everything and were unwilling to grant that there was only one man who was so, and that he was so only in a very restricted sphere, and under certain peculiar and special conditions. ** [https://archive.org/details/whatchristreveal00jouiuoft/page/30 ''What Christ Revealed'' (1897)] == External links == {{Wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jouin, Louis}} [[Category:1818 births]] [[Category:Jesuits]] [[Category:1899 deaths]] [[Category:Linguists from Germany]] [[Category:Philosophers from Germany]] [[Category:Non-fiction authors from Germany]] [[Category:Theologians from Germany]] spr4tpdu9gqb94e8e72ojor1fowsass Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! 0 308242 3951599 3951495 2026-06-11T12:08:37Z UDScott 4304 don't really need the header, since the Scooby Doo template is at the bottom 3951599 wikitext text/x-wiki {{italic title}} '''''[[w:Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!|Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!]]''''' is a [[w:2007 in film|2007 film]] about the gang's vacation to Paris takes a wrong turn when Scooby and Shaggy miss their flight and end up on a skydiving expedition in the Himalayas.

I liked him. But he remains entangled in the biggest Italian story: I tell how the investigations established that the mafia entered the stock market with Calcestruzzi. :*[[w:Enrico Deaglio|Enrico Deaglio]], as quoted in Enrico Mannucci, ''I nostri anni crudeli'', ''Corriere della Sera'' - "Magazine", 7 May 2009. *The mother of all bribes is not Enimont but the relationship with the [[w:Sicily|Sicilian]] [[w:mafia|mafia]]. Di Pietro had got involved with Gardini: I think that's his secret. :*[[w:Enrico Deaglio|Enrico Deaglio]], as quoted in Enrico Mannucci, ''I nostri anni crudeli'', ''Corriere della Sera'' - "Magazine", 7 May 2009. *Up until fifteen minutes before, I had spoken to his lawyer and we had agreed that he was coming to me and that he wanted to come on his own two feet and with his hands free, and that he would tell the facts as they were. Then, evidently, in an act of pride, he committed suicide. :*[[Antonio Di Pietro]], as quote din ''Antonio Di Pietro racconta Mani pulite 25 anni dopo'', [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIme-6dfxu0 video] available on Fanpage.it YouTube channel, September 2017. *Gardini's death is the real, great regret I have from the [[Mani pulite|Mani Pulite]] period. For two reasons. The first: on that 23 July, Gardini should have told me everything: to whom he had given the billion lire he had taken to [via delle] Botteghe Oscure, the headquarters of the [[w:Italian Communist Party|PCI; who the corrupt financial journalists were, in addition to those already revealed by Sama; and who the beneficiaries of the bulk of the [[w:Enimont|Enimont]] bribe were, which had been put in a safe place at the IOR. The second reason: I could have saved Gardini. On the evening of the 22nd, just before midnight, the Carabinieri called me at my home in Curno to inform me that Gardini had arrived at his house in Piazza Belgioioso in Milan and they said to me: "Sir, what shall we do?

I can't take credit for everything, Mr. Baker. :'''Gray Baker''': You really believe that you're lucky to die? :'''Roman Strauss''': What I believe, Mr Baker, is that this is all far from over. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cozy Carlisle''': Someone's either a smoker or a nonsmoker. There's no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are and be that. :'''Mike Church''': Yeah, well, you know, I'm — I'm trying to quit. So... :'''Cozy Carlisle''': Don't tell me you're trying to quit. People who say they are trying to quit are basically pussies who cannot commit. Find out which one you are. Be that. That's it. If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Cozy Carlisle''': Hey, thumb-dick, I was a damn good shrink. In sixteen and a half years I worked with a lot of people through a lot of shit. Okay, I slept with a patient or two. It's not like I didn't care about 'em. :'''Mike Church''': Okay. :'''Cozy Carlisle''': I loved being a doctor. I used to not charge half my patients. Then the fuckin' state comes along, they send some bitch undercover, and I'm fucked. It ain't fair, is it? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Franklyn Madson''': You were inside President Roosevelt's office? :'''Mrs. Tupper''': [''under hypnosis, in a child's voice''] Yes. Lots of times. My mommy was his cook. Yeah, we were like family. I used to sit on Uncle Teddy's lap. [''giggles''] I liked that! :'''Franklyn Madson''': I'm sure Uncle Teddy did, too. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Gray Baker''': Why are you helping me? :'''Cozy Carlisle''': I don't know. You smell good. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grace''': Why is it that I can recognize certain smells, that I know my right hand from my left, but I can't remember what my favorite color is or my favorite flower or — what kind of wine I like. :'''Mike Church''': Maybe you're lucky. :'''Grace''': Lucky? How so? :'''Mike Church''': You know, I was just thinking there must be a certain freedom that goes with living only in the present tense. At least you don't have to spend every day trying to forget your past. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Roman Strauss''': It's not a bracelet, darling. It's an anklet, a very special anklet. Let's have your leg. It's really very old. The man I bought it from explained to me that when a husband gives this to his wife — they become — two halves of the same person. Nothing can — separate them. Not even death. :'''Margaret Strauss''': So we're stuck with each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Grace''': They seemed so in love. :'''Mike Church''': Well, those are usually the people that kill each other. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Starlet''': You in the business? :'''Roman Strauss''': The business? :'''Starlet''': Yeah, you know: pictures, movies. :'''Roman Strauss''': No. I'm a composer. :'''Starlet''': Oh, well, in that case, you're not anybody. [''walks away''] <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margaret Strauss''': So, any new tidbits from the press? :'''Gray Baker''': Zero. To tell you the truth, I miss the war. :'''Margaret Strauss''': Well, what an odd thing to say. :'''Gray Baker''': Doesn't seem to be much news anymore — all this back-to-normal stuff. The world's getting boring again. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Margaret Strauss''': Is it really good to smoke so much? :'''Gray Baker''': No. That's why I started rolling my own. Figured it will slow me down. :'''Margaret Strauss''': Has it? :'''Gray Baker''': No. I just roll them faster. <hr width="50%"/> :'''Mike Church''': Why would she want to kill me now? :'''Cozy Carlisle''': Why do women do anything? <hr width="50%"/> :'''Pete''': I've known Mike Church forever. He would never hurt her. :'''Franklyn Madson''': This is fate we're talking about, and if fate works at all, it works because people think that ''this time'', it isn't going to happen! == Taglines == * A Mystery About True Love...And Certain Death. * How many times can you die for love? == Cast == {{cast listing| * [[Kenneth Branagh]] — Mike Church/Roman Strauss * [[Emma Thompson]] — "Grace"/Amanda Sharp/Margaret Strauss * [[Andy Garcia|Andy García]] — Gray Baker * [[Derek Jacobi]] — Franklyn Madson * [[w:Wayne Knight|Wayne Knight]] — "Piccolo" Pete Dugan * [[Robin Williams]] — Dr. Cozy Carlisle * [[w:Hanna Schygulla|Hanna Schygulla]] — Inga * [[w:Campbell Scott|Campbell Scott]] — Doug * [[w:Jo Anderson|Jo Anderson]] — Sister Madeleine/Masquerade Party Guest * [[w:Lois Hall|Lois Hall]] — Sister Constance * [[w:Richard Easton|Richard Easton]] — Father Timothy * [[w:Gregor Hesse|Gregor Hesse]] — Frankie * [[w:Obba Babatundé|Obba Babatundé]] — Sid * [[w:Vasek Simek|Vasek Simek]] — Otto Kline * [[w:Christine Ebersole|Christine Ebersole]] — Lydia Larson * [[w:Raymond Cruz|Raymond Cruz]] — supermarket clerk * [[Miriam Margolyes]] — Mrs. Tupper/hypnotic subject in shop (uncredited) }} == External links == {{Wikipedia}} * {{imdb title|id=0101669|title=Dead Again}} [[Category:1991 films]] [[Category:Neo-noir]] [[Category:Thriller films]] i2ny11wg2xwcllysl356d2z1qa289m2 Martin Jay 0 308274 3951973 2026-06-12T11:51:36Z Мит Сколов 2885624 Created page with "[[File:Martin Jay 2014.jpg|thumb|Martin Jay]] '''[[w:Martin Jay|Martin Jay]]''' (born in 1944) is an American intellectual historian. {{historian-stub}} == Quotes == * Can, in short, the world really tolerate dissent from, say, the Paris Climate Agreement by a rogue nation truculently claiming its narrow interests come first, and whose distorted norms allow it to prioritize short-term economic growth over the survival of the planet as we have known it?<ref>https://cri..." 3951973 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Martin Jay 2014.jpg|thumb|Martin Jay]] '''[[w:Martin Jay|Martin Jay]]''' (born in 1944) is an American intellectual historian. {{historian-stub}} == Quotes == * Can, in short, the world really tolerate dissent from, say, the Paris Climate Agreement by a rogue nation truculently claiming its narrow interests come first, and whose distorted norms allow it to prioritize short-term economic growth over the survival of the planet as we have known it?<ref>https://criticalinquiry.uchicago.edu/martin_jay_reviews_the_end_of_progress/</ref> == External links == {{Wikipedia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jay, Martin }} [[Category:1944 births]] [[Category:Living people]] 2rds4apleoie5j9hugqxbe4f4734h2v
