Hi, Master Beavis.

I was suppose to introduce me, bunghole! Uh, welcome to a restaurant. Would you like to take my order?

Yeah, get me some nachos, buttwipe!

Mr. Manners [grabs Butt-head by the collar]: Listen, you little...t-t-twerp! This is my job, this is how I make money! Don't screw with me! [goes back to his place] Now, how about using some manners?

Manners suck.

Hey Butt-head. Don't "screw" with him.

DDean

Like, 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall?

Van Driessen

Good, Dean. But beer and driving don't mix. How about 99 Bottles of Tea on the Wall. Or we could try some other arrangement.

Cars behind the bus are honking their horns.

[Van Driessen has got his guitar ready and asks the students for song requests]

DDean

  Like, "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"?

Van Driessen

  Good, Dean.  But beer and driving don't mix.  How about "99 Bottles of Tea on the Wall"?  Or we could try some other arrangement.  [cars behind the bus are honking their horns]  What's going on? Why's everybody honking?

  [whilst mooning at other cars]  Peek-a-boo!

Van Driessen

Now, I know we all think of the army as a killing machine, but unlike the marauding forces that perpetrated war crimes in Vietnam, today's army focuses more on peace-keeping and winning hearts and minds. M'kay?

LDLieutenant Decker

No, it's about killing the enemy. We actually focus on that quite a bit.

Van Driessen

Right, well killing them with kindness.

LDLieutenant Decker

Not so much, really. Mostly with weapons. Everything from bayonets to stinger missiles.

Van Driessen

Yes, which are fired only in self defense.

LDLieutenant Decker

Sometimes. Sometimes we just kill the bastards in their sleep. Gives us the element of surprise.

Van Driessen

Um... how about we take a look at the barracks?

[the boys continue eating at school until Mr. Van Driessen says food is not allowed in class]

Van Driessen

Beavis, Butt-head, if it was up to me, you could eat in class, but the school board says you can't. M'kay?

We have to. We're eating at Burger World for a month so we can get famous.

Yeah, yeah. Like that Morgan Sherlock dude, you know what I'm saying?

Van Driessen

Of course, you're taking on corporate America to expose a very important issue to your generation.

Uh, yeah.

Van Driessen

This is great. I'm so proud of you boys.

BBoy

So, does this mean that we can eat in class too?

Van Driessen

No. Only Beavis and Butt-head can eat in class. They're engaged in an act of social protest, shining a light on the issue of teen obesity.

We're eating in front of you.

Yeah, you can't have any.

Van Driessen

Now, it's so important that you get your message out. Martin, maybe you can be part of this. [Martin reaches for a burger] No, I meant film Beavis and Butt-head, and then post it online.

Yeah, make a movie about us.

Van Driessen

The three of you can all use this as your semester service project. M'kay?

Yeah. Cool.

We didn't bring enough for everybody.

Van Driessen

Class, this weekend, I'm organizing a trip down to the Gulf of Mexico. As you are all well aware, this oil spill is a crisis of unprecedented proportion. It's done great damage to the wetlands. [Beavis and Butt-head snicker in the back of the class] Giant tar balls are washing up all along the coast. And then there's the birds. It's too late for a lot of the older birds, but we can still rescue the chicks.

Uh, chicks?

I'm listening.

Van Driessen

Yes, Butt-head, so many of these poor chicks are dirty. They're just filthy.

Whoa! Filthy chicks!

Yeah! Filthy chicks!

Van Driessen

Yes, and we need people to go down there and wash them. Are there any volunteers?

Uh, yeah. Count me in.

Yeah, this weekend's good for me.

Van Driessen

Well great! Thank you, Beavis and Butt-head.

Filthy chicks!

Van Driessen

The Pythagorean Theorem can best be expressed with this equation: A squared, plus B squared, equals C squared.

Uhh...

Van Driessen

Yes, Butt-head?

Uh, We shouldn't have to learn this.

Yeah yeah.

Van Driessen

Uh, why not?

'Cause my uncle's not a monkey!

Yeah yeah! That's right!

Van Driessen

This is geometry, not evolution. M'kay?

Tell that to the Lord.

But it shall go unanswered as you roam the fiery pit of damnation! [they get up to leave]

You're going to hell.

TATown Actor

Welcome to Prairie Falls. You lucky students have traveled back in time to a typical 19th century homesteading community. Come and meet my fellow townsfolk. [lets Beavis and Butt-head enter]

Uh, did that guy say something about like, traveling back in time? [they approach Van Driessen in 19th century attire]

Van Driessen

Howdy, fair strangers. I am Tobias Van Driessen, a humble but hard working cobbler, who dwells in the cabin down by the old fork river.

Uh, how come Van Driessen's talking like a foreigner?

I don't know. Maybe we're in Mexico or something. Let's go find a TV.

Van Driessen

TV? I know not what you talk of, for the year is 1832. Now come and watch us thresh wheat.

Uh, 1832? That's like, not now.

Aren't we more than that?

Whoa! Hey Beavis, check it out! Look at all these people! Maybe that dork was right. Maybe we did travel back in time.

Oh yeah, yeah. How did that happen?

Uh, maybe that bus broke the time-space cundominium?

Oh yeah, yeah, like in that movie, Back to the Future.

Oh yeah. Maybe we can score with your mom.

Hey Butt-head, since we traveled back in time a thousand years, does that mean that old dude is like, Van Driessen's dad or something?

Uh, oh yeah. He's old. [they approach a woman working a butter churn] Whoa! Come to Butt-head.

Yeah, me too!

I do declare, working this pole is hard.

Oh yeah!

Van Driessen

[whispering to the woman] You look familiar, were you at the Renaissance fair this summer?

Yes! I'm Lady Wentworth.

Van Driessen

Ah, I knew it! I'm Squire Robin! [to the class] Um, class? Why don't you run along and enjoy our simple way of life, m'kay? And take notes! [returns his attention to Megan]

This sucks. How come a wuss like that can score and we can't?

Um, how do you know he's gonna score?

Because Van Driessen was born, dumbass. Whoa! Hey Beavis, I just thought of something cool we could do! If we could stop that old wuss from scoring, Van Driessen will never be born. We'll never have to go to that stupid class again.

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah! This is gonna be cool! I mean, or it was cool. I mean, in the past, I mean like after we do it, it's gonna be cool to think back upon.

You two are the worst students this school has ever had. And now because of that No Child Left Behind law, we may lose our funding! Teachers will get laid off, I could lose my job!

Uh... did you say something about a child's behind?

Yeah, he definitely said something about a child's left behind! I heard him!

No wonder you're gonna lose your job.

SHUT UP! How dare you!

Van Driessen

Okay, let's all calm down for a moment. Now Beavis, Butt-head, because next week's standardized test is so important, we're going to use all of our best resources at Highland High School to help you prepare, m'kay?

It's a waste of time, they'll never get it! They're morons! They have the worst grades I've ever seen!

Van Driessen

Well that just means that these boys have the most room for improvement. Remember, it's all about helping the children.

Yeah. Just keep them away from their behinds.

Yeah.

You see that?! Right there! That's what I'm talking about!

Uh, hey, you know, whatever you're into.

Uh, what the hell is going on here?

What did they do to this place, Butt-head? What's going on?

Van Driessen

Beavis and Butt-head! What a pleasant surprise to see you this here.

What happened to the parking lot? What did you do?

Van Driessen

Well once a month, we have a farmers' market here, and it turns into a cornucopia of locally sourced farm-to-table cuisine.

Does "cornucopia" mean butthole?

It sure does, Beavis.

Uh, so like, honey for sale.

Fresh honey! It's really expensive.

That's right, it's like a thousand dollars.

Buy it right now, for money!

Van Driessen

Beavis and Butt-head! [Noticing their multiple stings] Boys, are you feeling okay?

Buy our honey. Our bees made it, yeah. Check it out.

[hands Van Driessen a cup] That's right. It's expensive. Fresh from the bug's butt.

Van Driessen

[samples the "honey"] This tastes like shampoo, m'kay?

What? Our bees made shampoo?

These dumb bugs made the wrong stuff!

Van Driessen

Guys, these are not bees. They're wasps. Wasps don't make honey.

We know, dumbass. They made shampoo.

Van Driessen

Okay, everyone please focus, m'kay? Class is almost over and I'm just trying to squeeze in Uranus.

[chuckling hard, but notices Butt-head isn't laughing] Uh, Butt-head?

Hmm?

Van Driessen, he kind of said, "I just wanna squeeze in-"

Beavis, Mr. Van Driessen is trying hard to squeeze in Uranus, okay?

Yeah, yeah exactly-

Let's try to give him our attention.

Yeah, but...

[writing notes] Ah, I'm glad I brought a nice, sharp pencil for Uranus.

Come on, Butt-head, what's going on?

Nothing, Beavis. This is the perfect pencil for Uranus.
