| - Mordecai: So, Margaret... there's something I want to ask you. Noooooooo. Hey Margaret, I think we're great, we're great together, you know? Nah. Hey giiiirlll, I want you to be mah everythin'! Rigby: Hey girrrrrlll, why are you talking to yourself, giiiirrrrl? Huh? Huh? Got a date with your lady? Hm? Hm? Mordecai: Yeah, so? I'm taking Margaret out to dinner tonight, and I'm kinda nervous, okay? Rigby: Oh yeah, where are you taking her? Cheezer's? Wing Kingdom? Mordecai: No dude, someplace WAY nicer: Steak me Amadeus. Rigby: Dude, that place is CRAZY expensive, how are you going to pay for it? Mordecai: BAM! (he pulls out yellow dollar bills reading "AMADEUS DOLLARS") Amadeus dollars! Remember when Pops gave these out as Christmas gifts? I traded everyone for them in exchange for favors, and now I got MAYD STACKS! Rigby: Huh. So that explains all the extra work you've been doing. Mordecai: This dinner is big dude. Everything has to be perfect. I'm gonna ask Margaret to officially be my girlfriend. Rigby: Whoa, that's huuuuuge! Mordecai, you have my utmost respect. Brospect. (Rigby pounds his chest with his fist, and gives Mordecai some more Amadeus Dollars) Use 'em well, man. Mordecai: Thanks, dude. Rigby: No problem...now get out of here, I gotta use it. Mordecai (to himself): Margaret, will you do the honor of being my... girlfriend? Ugh, no... (His cell phone rings. He picks it up, and answers it. It's Margaret) Margaret, I was just on my way to get you. What's up? Margaret (on the phone): Hey, something came up, so I'm going to be late. I'm sorry, can I meet you at the restaurant? Mordecai: Yeah, totally! Don't worry about it! I can't wait to see you! Margaret: Cool, see you there. Mordecai: Hi, I have a reservation for two under "Mordecai". Receptionist: (she is typing on her computer) Ummmmm... ah! There you are! Mordecai: Is there like an extra nice table you could sit us at? If it costs extra, I can pay upfront. Receptionist: No, no extra charge. (She then goes for a red button located underneath the top part of the desk, and presses it. Within one second, an entire SWAT team moves in, and apprehends Mordecai) Mordecai: WHAT THE-? Morelli: People like you make me SICK. Kessler: Take five, Morelli, we got this. (Morelli then leaves the room): Mordecai: What's going on?! Why are we locked up?! Kessler: You tell me. You and your buddies' prints are all over these counterfeit Amadeus Dollars. Mordecai: Counterfeit?! Kessler: Don't be cute with me. We've been on the case for months. Your funny money scam is GOING DOWN! DOWN TO PRISON TOWN, YOU HEAR ME?! PRISON!!! Male cop: Easy there, Kessler. All of the evidence is stacked against you and all of your friends. Unless you can prove you're innocent (the camera then goes to the park gang, who all have worried looks on their faces), we're gonna take you all in. Thomas: Uhhh, I'm just an intern... The park gang: THOMAS! Benson: Look, this is ridiculous, we don't even know what you're talking about! High-Five Ghost: Yeah! Muscle Man: I want my one phone call, bro! Rigby: We're innocent, let us go already! Pops: IT WAS ME! I gave them the funny money! (Pops then starts crying) Hat man! Christmas! (Countinues crying.) Benson: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down, Pops. Use your words. Pops: Well, I met a gentleman who sold them to me for half price. Kessler: He got a name? Pops: I don't know, he just approached me on the street. Male cop: What did he look like? Pops: Well, his hat was covering his face. But, he gave me his card. Kessler: It's just a number. You've got nothing. Let's take them to the van. Mordecai: WAIT! I can't miss this date tonight, it's important! Kessler: Well, doing my job is even more important. Mordecai: NO! You don't understand! I need to ask Margaret to be my girlfriend! Male cop: (while looking at the photos) Mmmmm, nice. Very nice! It looks like you two have a real connection! Kessler: He's also got a real connection by incriminating evidence. Male cop: Now hold up, Kessler. This is a big moment in a man's life. Mordecai: Yeah, just give me a chance! Look, I'll catch the real counterfeiter! If I bring him, and the fake bills in, then there would be no problem with us! Just let me go on this date, please! Kessler: Ugh, fine! If you can bring us the perp, and prove he's got the counterfeit bills, you guys are off the hook. Mordecai: Pops, call the guy! Mordecai: (to Rigby) You know, you don't have to do this, dude. Rigby: Hey dude, remember, brospect! (Rigby pounds his chest again with his fist.) Male cop: (to Mordecai) Margaret is here. (A waiter shows Margaret, who is wearing a purple dress, her and Mordecai's table. Margaret sits down) As soon as the suspect arrives, you gotta leave her. Got it? Mordecai: Got it. Kessler: Remember, Mordecai, no dollars, no deal. Mordecai: Hey, you made it! Margaret: Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late, I- Mordecai: No, no. It's fine. (Margaret smiles at him) You look amazing. Margaret: So do you. Mordecai: Are you okay? I hope today wasn't inconvenient with work and all. Margaret: No, no, I wanted to see you! Mordecai: Listen, there's something I wanted to tell you. Margaret: There's something I wanted to tell you too, something kinda important. Male cop: The suspect has arrived. Margaret: Uh, Mordecai? Male cop: Time to go, Cassanova. Mordecai: Come on, just give me more time! Margaret: Are you okay? Time for what? Mordecai: Uhhhhh, time, time to... go to the bathroom of course! Heh heh! I'll be right back. Suspect: So, you two work for Pops? Rigby: Yeah, show us the goods. Suspect: Un, un, un. Let's me see my payment first. Mordecai: Give me the ribs, extra juicy. Waiter: There you are, sir. (the waiter walks away) Suspect: Mmmmmm. 10,000 Amadeus Dollars. Kessler: Make them admit they're fake, and we can end this. Mordecai: So, these Amadeus Dollars are legit, right? Suspect: Hey, these are coupons, not cash. Mordecai: Just tell us if they are the real deal. Suspect: Touch 'em, they don't get any more real than that. Mordecai: Look man, (Mordecai pounds his fist on the table) don't lie to me! Margaret: Mordecai? Mordecai: Uhhhhh... Margaret: Why is Rigby here? Rigby: Busted. Mordecai: I'm really sorry Margaret, can you wait at the table? (Mordecai holds both of Margaret's hands) I'll be right there. Margaret: But, I really need to talk to you. Suspect: Then why don't you join us, little lady? Margaret: What? No! Suspect: I said "JOIN US!" Mordecai: Uhhhhh. Suspect: Come on, there's no reason why we can't have fun here. After all, that's what I was made to do: SHOW PEOPLE A FUN TIME! Rigby: It's that dice guy from the Fun Fun Zone! Mordecai: Dude! I thought you were DEAD! Bear Robot: That's what they all thought. (The scene cuts to a flashback of the night of the shootout at the docks.) I was in pretty bad shape after the cops got us. But I survived. (It shows the bear reaching to shore while electricity volts are coming out of his body. The scene cuts to him in a run-down apartment room.) I laid low for awhile. I started making plans for revenge. Announcer: A fine culinary experience for ALL! Especially for the couples! And now, you can pay for it with special Steak Me Amadeus dollars! Bear Robot: I knew I could lure you guys in with the affordable steak. (The bear hits "PRINT" on his keyboard, and fake Amadeus dollars come out.) So I created thousands of fake Amadeus Dollars! (Thousands of fake Amadeus Dollars come out of his printer.) I knew once you have cheap steak, you'd be back for more. (It shows Pops getting the fake Amadeus Dollars, and running back to the park with them.) (The scene then goes back to reality. Margaret, Mordecai, and Rigby all have shocked expressions on their faces.) And BAM! Here we are! The Capicola Gang with have its revenge! Rigby: Dude, that's really weird. Bear Robot: Well, it worked, didn't it? Now I have you right where I want you! Kessler: FREEZE, BEAR! Muscle Man: Bros! The feds said we could help save you! Kessler: Can it, Mitch! (Kessler moves toward the bear.) Okay, Papa Bear, the jig is up. Drop the gun, and no one gets hurt. Louie: I'd be careful if I were you. (laughs) Male officer: Drop the gun, big guy! Duck Robot: Hold up square! (The duck clocks her gun.) Y'all gonna put yo' guns down, NOW. Skips: GET DOWN! NOW! Mordecai: Margaret! There's something I want to tell you! Margaret: Come on! This way! Mordecai: The last few weeks I have spent with you have been the best weeks of my life. (A bullet smashes a glass on the table they are behind. The scene shows Muscle Man on the floor shooting off his machine gun uncontrollably while squealing.) I feel like we are growing closer every day, and nobody makes me happier than you do. (A bullet smashes a vase of flowers, a plate, and a steak) Margaret, (he holds both of Margaret's hands with love. Margaret has a sad expression on her face.) will you be my girlfriend? Margaret: Mordecai, there's something I need to tell you. For the first time ever, I feel like I can be in a relationship that can actually go somewhere... (Mordecai has a smile on his face.) ...but there's this. (Margaret shows him a torn open envelope with a letter inside it, that shows it's from Milten University. Mordecai has a shocked expression on his face. Margaret then starts tearing up.) I got into my dream school. (Mordecai is more shocked than before.) I really like you Mordecai, and what we have is special, but I may never get this opportunity again. (She starts crying.) I'm sorry, but... I can't be your girlfriend. Kessler: CEASE FIRE! Bear: YOU KIDDING ME?! School is overrated! I didn't go to school, and look at me! Restaurant owner: Nobody talks that way about college education in my restaurant. Rigby: Yo, you took Margaret to the airport? Mordecai: Yeah. Rigby: You wanna talk about it? Mordecai: No.
