| - Thomas: Hello? (Peeks through window. As he backs away, he then notices the knob, and enters the house.) Benson, hello? (Knocks again.) Is anybody here? (Walks further in. His cell phone rings and he answers.) Hey, mom. Yeah, it's my first day at my new internship. No, I'm looking for them right now. Yeah, yeah, I met everybody yesterday and they all seem really cool. Yeah, it's gonna be a really easy way to get three credits. (Suddenly, an explosion of some sort occurs outside, shaking the house.) Mom, hold on! Benson: Run! Run! Skips: You. You won't get away with-- Rigby: Dude, hurry! Mordecai: (Mashing the buttons on the time machine.) I'm trying! GBF Jr: You should have sold it to me when you had the chance! (He blows up the house with a detonation device, laughing maniacally as a red wormhole forms above the rubble. Thomas looks on in shock. The title cards then appear.) Skips: Let's see... Pops? (Pan through the seats, to Pops, in a zookeeper's outfit.) We got a Pops here? Pops: Huh? Skips: You Pops? Pops: Indeed! Skips: Car's ready. Sign here. (Shows Pops a clipboard and hands him a pen.) Pops: I hope she wasn't any trouble, Mister! Mister... (Looks at nametag.) Skips. Skips: Not really. Just an oil change. Pops: Oh, splendid! (Runs away, laughing. Skips then looks at the clipboard again.) Skips: We got a Marcy Stevenson here? Muscle Man: Come on! (Looks at the crosswalk sign. It stays on the red hand for a few seconds, before the white stick figure flashes on, Pops is seen driving, not noticing Muscle Man, only seeing him and braking at the last second.) What the heck, old man? (Pops then backs up his car, and drives away.) Hey! (Throws his briefcase at Pops' car.) Pops: Sorry! Muscle Man: I'll find out who you are. (Walks up to pick up his briefcase, and Hi Five Ghost appears. He is now a Pizza delivery guy.) Hi Five Ghost: Hey mister. Do you know the way to the park? Muscle Man: Uh, hello, I almost died. Besides, I don't have time to tell you, I'm late for my lecture on Quantam Mechanics. (leaves) Hi Five Ghost: Pff, brainac. (He now looks at a sign that says Old Town <--, and The Park -->, and heads to the park.) (On the park gate is a sign that reads, 'Exit 9B Coming Soon', Hi Five Ghost knocks on the gate, and Benson opens it, revealing that he still works at the park.) Benson: You're not the usual pizza guy. Hi Five Ghost: I'm new. That will be $12.95. (Benson takes the pizza to GBF Jr. inside the park, which is now a construction site.) Benson: The pizzas have arrived, sir. GBF Jr: Excellent. Thomas, come. (We see Thomas, who was listening to music, and he runs to GBF Jr.) Benson: Sir, do you think I could have some pizza? GBF Jr: What? Pizza's for winners. You're not a winner, Benson, you're a slacker. Now get back to work! Benson: Yes, sir. GBF Jr: Intern, pizza. (Opens his mouth, and Thomas feeds him a slice. He lets out an evil laugh.) (We scroll down a little bit and Mordecai and Rigby land from the time machine.) Mordecai: Agh, my chest. Rigby: Are you ok? Mordecai: Huh? (Gets up, revealing the time machine is now destroyed.) Aw, man. Rigby: Where are we? Mordecai: Dude, it's the park. Look. Aw man, the freeway's almost done. This is bad. Hide. (Mordecai and Rigby hide from two construction workers.) That was too close. Rigby: What are we gonna do? Mordecai: It's not too late. Come on, we can still fix this. Rigby: But the space time thingy's busted. Mordecai: We don't need it. Do you still have the document? (Rigby takes out the document that is in the file he's carrying.) All right, we have to find Skips. (We go to Skips' garage, which is now barricaded, and now Mordecai knocks at the door.) Mordecai: Skips? (Knocks again.) Skips? Rigby: (Wipes the window.) Skips? (We now look inside the garage, showing that it's all dark and full of trash.) Mordecai: It's hopeless, dude. He's gone. Rigby: What now? We can't pull this off without Skips. Mordecai: There has to be a way. (Looks down.) Huh? (Picks up a card that says "Skips' Place Auto Body".) Mordecai and Rigby: Hmm, hmm. (We now go to Skips' Place, Body and Oil Transmission. Mordecai talks to a pair of legs working under a car.) Mordecai: Hey man, you know where we can find Skips? Skips: I'm Skips. Who's askin'? Mordecai and Rigby: Skips! Skips: Yeah. Who are you? Mordecai: Dude, it's us, Mordecai and Rigby. Skips: I don't know you. Rigby: Dude, he's been brainwashed. Mordecai: Remember, we were co-workers at the park. Skips: Nah, I never worked at any park. Rigby: Do you remember that evil bearded guy? He must have scrambled your brain. He was gonna scramble our brains, too, but we escaped through a hole in space time. (Makes time traveling sound.) Mordecai: We think about two months has past since then, now he's building a freeway on the park, our park. Rigby: You got to help us stop him. Skips: Exit 9B is gonna make a huge difference in people's lives. How else are people gonna get from South I-85, to South West 85B? You need some help with your car, I'm your guy. Otherwise, get out of here. Rigby: That's not the Skips we know! Skips: (Skips looms over Rigby.) I don't know you! Rigby: Skips, you're in there somewhere, snap out of it! (He slaps Skips in the face. Skips roars in anger before pinning both Mordecai and Rigby up against the wall by their necks, choking them.) Skips: What's your game? Mordecai: (choking) You gotta remember, Skips! Skips: Who do you work for?! Mordecai: Well, (gags) technically, you're one of our bosses. Ugh... Skips: You lie! Rigby: Wait, we know why your name is Skips. Remember the only woman you ever loved!? (Skips's eyes widen as he flashes back to memories from "Diary", "The Power", "Death Punchies", "This Is My Jam", "Over the Top" and "Skips Strikes". No longer brainwashed, he lets go of Mordecai and Rigby, who fall to the ground coughing and gasping for air. Skips is upset.) Mordecai: Skips? Skips: (He breathes heavily for a moment before regaining his composure. He turns to Mordecai and Rigby.) Tell me everything. (Cuts to next scene.) Mordecai: That bearded guy tried to take out the park out for months, but then he took it by force. And we're the only ones left who can take it back. Skips: Uh, do we have a plan? Mordecai: Rigby, show him the document. Rigby: Bam! It declares the park a historical landmark. We just need everybody that worked at the park to sign it, then it will be against the law to build Exit 9B, decreed from City Hall, yo! Mordecai: Easier said then done. If that bearded guy gave you a new identity to hide you, then there's no telling where everyone else is. Skips: I know where we can find out. (We cut back to the park.) Skips: Get down. (Skips sees that the coast is clear.) Go, go! (The trio make it into the office, where they start rifling through files.) Rigby: There's gotta be thousands of these things. Mordecai: Is this what we're looking for? Skips: (Looks at the file that Mordecai found to see, and it shows all of the park worker's definitions.) Yeah, this is it. It's a case of every bodies new identities. (The file shows a picture of Benson in his new identity with his arms up and seems to look angry) Looks here like Benson's the only one who still works at the park. (GBF Jr. tries to open the door.) GBF Jr: Benson, why didn't you lock this door? Benson: But, I did lock it. GBF Jr: Oh, you locked it? I guess that's why the handle's turning. And I suppose if I push it right now, it won't open, huh? (Opens the door, but Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips are hidden.) Well, what did you know? You forgot to lock it. Benson: I could have sworn I locked it! I won't let it happen again. (Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips are seen inside the closet.) GBF Jr: Next time it happens, you're fired. Got it? Thomas, get me some coffee. Thomas: I'm pretty sure I saw him lock it. GBF Jr: Nobody asked you, Thomas. I could fire you anytime I want. Just like I can fire Benson anytime I want. Isn't that right Benson? (GBF Jr. now looks at the closet door.) Why's that opened? Rigby: (whispering) He knows. (Mordecai and Skips covers Rigby's mouth.) GBF Jr: (He walks up close to the closet door, but only to close a file cabinet.) Break time's over. (GBF Jr., Benson, and Thomas leave and close the door. Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips come out into the office.) (We now go to the next scene, where Pops is now a butterfly sanctuary instructor.) Pops: Welcome to the City Butterfly Sanctuary. Admission is free, although donations are greatly appreciated. Mordecai: (Clears his throat and holds up a lollipop.) Will you take a Butterscotch Ripple? Pops: (Pops now has memories from "The Power", "Karaoke Video", "Prankless", "Just Set Up the Chairs", "Go Viral", "Brain Eraser", "Sugar Rush", and "The Best Burger in the World". Pops is now unbrainwashed and laughs.) I remember. Jolly good show! (We go to Muscle Man, where he is teaching college students in an auditorium.) Muscle Man: And as you can clearly see, C=8. Any questions? (Mordecai raises his hand.) Yes, in the back? Mordecai: Yeah, we were just wondering, do you know who else's C=8? Muscle Man: Well actually, yes I do. It's my mom. (Muscle Man gasps. He flashes back through memories from "Trash Boat", "Big Winner", "Slam Dunk", "Fuzzy Dice", "In the House", "Gut Model", "Muscle Mentor", and "Death Metal Crash Pit". Muscle Man is now unbrainwashed, and he rubs his hair back to its original form.) Whoooooo! (Knocks over his table.) Whoooo! Eat it, eggheads. Class is dismissed. Whooooooooo! (Smashes the exit door.) Whoooooooo! (Back at Skips' Place, Hi Five Ghost comes to deliver a pizza. He is grabbed through the door; Muscle Man knocks the pizza box out of his hand and is about to give him a high-five.) Hi Five Ghost: Noooo! Hi Five Ghost: Whooooo! All: Yeah! (They all sign the document.) Muscle Man: (to Hi Five Ghost) Looks like my John Hancock's the biggest. Now give me a high five, cause I got a huge signature! (high fives Hi Five Ghost) But seriously, how do we save the park? Mordecai: We have to get Benson's signature. The problem is he's always with that bearded guy. Muscle Man: Who is that tool anyway? Skips: A contractor. He's tried to buy the park countless times, so he can build a freeway there. Pops: But why must it be the park? Why is it so important to this beard? Skips: That doesn't matter now. What matters is that we get Benson back to sign this contract. Hi Five Ghost: But we could get killed. Muscle Man: Yeah. This sounds pretty heavy, bro. Mordecai: Look, Skips is right. It might be risky, but we have to try. This isn't just the park we're talking about, it's Benson too. Muscle Man: You're right. Let's do this thing. On three. (They all put their hands together.) One, two, three! Mordecai Rigby Muscle Man And Hi Five Ghost: For The Park! Pops: Jolly Good Show! Skips: Will Stop The Contractor Rigby: We could have planned that better. (Cuts backs to the park where the highway is nearly finished.) Mordecai: All right guys, Benson could be anywhere. We just need his signature and this will all be over. Skips, you take Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost and go around back. Me, Rigby, and Pops will go that way. And remember, whatever you do, don't get caught. Thomas: What are you guys doing here? Muscle Man: Thomas, what's your problem? You trying to give us a heart attack? Thomas: I have to be here. I need the credits for school. You guys gotta go: the new manager's crazy. Mordecai: We're not leaving. You gotta tell us where Benson is, so we can get his signature. Thomas: Uhhh.. Mordecai: Thomas! Rigby: Thomas, where's Benson?! Thomas: Uh, he's standing right behind you. (Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost get bagged by other construction workers and Benson.) Benson: Get all of them. (Skips and Pops get bagged as well.) Mordecai: Benson, no! You can't do this!
