Gwen TennysonThis is a very bad idea. I mean we don't even know how to work a teleporter pad. Ben? Are you hiding?
No. It’s just, if a fly lands on that banana when it teleports and it rematerializes as a deathly banana fly monster. I don't wanna be standing right next to it, is all.
[After the teleporter pad is destroyed and Swampfire reverts back into Ben]
Everyone alright?
Forget that! What about the teleporter pad?!
Gwen TennysonDeep down, he's really glad we're okay.
It's totally trashed.
At least we don't have to worry about any "banana-fly" monsters. (Gwen glares at him) I'm just saying.
I know a kid, might be able to fix it.
Gwen TennysonFix alien tech?
He's a total super genius with any kind of machinery. Doesn't matter if it's human or alien. I'll bring Cooper over from his lab.
Cooper? Pasty kid?
Gwen TennysonBlonde? Bad haircut?
Had a big crush on Gwen? [Gwen angrily elbows him for that] Ow!
Sounds like the same guy. But, uh, who wouldn't have a crush on you?
He helped us out once back when we were kids. You should've told us you knew him.
Didn't exactly come up.
You didn't think a kid with the ability to manipulate alien tech would have been helpful against the DNAliens?
It's possible I know two or three people I haven't told you about, Ben. Anyway, if you're so smart, why didn't you think of him before?
Okay, that's a fair point. Let's go.
[The team arrives at Cooper's house]
So, Gwen, excited to see your ex?
Gwen TennysonZip it. (to Ben) You just had to mention the crush?
Probably not.
[They enter the house and into the basement]
Gwen Tennyson[curious] Why break in? Couldn't we have just left a message with Cooper's folks?
Because Coop never leaves his lab -- never. Something's seriously wrong.
He probably just went our for a… [Kevin turns the lights on] smoothie.
Gwen TennysonWow. [lifts up a dirty stained grey shirt] He really never leaves the lab.
Look for signs of a struggle.
This whole place looks like a struggle.
[on recorded video message] If anyone finds this recording… [A group of DNAliens break into his lab and chase him all around; A DNAlien shoots slime on his shoe and they grab hold of him and take him away] No! No! [video ends]
There you go… signs of a struggle.
Smart kid. Left a message in a bottle so someone would see what happened to him.
Gwen, can you track Cooper, figure out where they took him?
Gwen TennysonProbably. His energy resonance is really strong here. Got him. I can take us right to Cooper.
In other words… you're attracted to him.
Gwen TennysonCan we just go?
[The team follow Cooper's trail, which they arrive at Los Soledad]
Los Soledad? Cooper's trail led us here?
Deserted. At least last time we were here, there was a monster to fight.
Gwen TennysonI don't get it. I did everything right.
Well, love is blind. And apparently, it screws up your powers, too.
Gwen TennysonMy powers are not screwed up. My instincts are telling me Cooper's definitely nearby.
Sorry, Gwen, but there's nothing here except… [walks into a cloaking field]
Gwen TennysonBen!
Tennyson, where --
[pops his head out of the field] You have got…to see…this. [Gwen and Kevin follow him in; the base is covered in snow and a pack of DNAliens are working] It's DNAlien day camp.
Three of those weather-control towers -- this cannot be good.
Gwen TennysonAnd whatever it is, Cooper's right in the middle of it.
The cloaking field is hiding the whole city. Where did they get a rig powerful enough to do that? [Ben and Gwen look at him] Right. Cooper built it for them.
Gwen TennysonEverybody down!
With that shield up, these guys don't have to worry about anyone seeing them building... [signifies the jump gate] Whatever that thing is.
[quietly] Why don't we just yell out, "Hey, Cooper"?
[quietly] And have 4,000 DNAliens crawling up our butts? Good plan.
Gwen TennysonIn here.
And if there's 4,000 DNAliens behind that door? Good plan.
Got any spells that'll give us cover so we can get to him?
Gwen TennysonThey're not spells.
That's a no, then.
[panting] I, gotta... rest.
Ever think about getting a treadmill?
We can't stay long. We've got to get outside the shield before they realize Cooper's missing.
(to Gwen) The way you came storming in there, like how Princess Elena rescued me last week from the Caverns of Unforgiving Dismay.
Gwen TennysonExcuse me?
In Nations of Conquest, the M.M.O.R.P.G I play.
Gwen TennysonExcuse me?
"Massive multiplayer online role-playing game."
Yeah Gwen, (smiles) and your power is being +3 nerd bait.
Hey Coop, the damsel rescues you. Now you get to be the knight that saves the day.
Gwen TennysonJealous much Kevin?
I'm not.
Did you have to hit me so hard?
Gwen TennysonI did. I really did.
(Julie talks about her latest pleasantries with Ben)
Gwen TennysonThat's so sweet. (to Kevin) Don't YOU think that's sweet?
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Okay, no shrieking in the car.
Gwen TennysonNo promises, sometimes we're gonna shriek.
Yeah, like you and Ben do when you're watching football.
WE DO NOT SHRIEK! Uh, shriek.
Gwen TennysonUh-huh.
Anyway, I'll drive you to the mall as promised, but I'm not hangin' around and watching you shop.
Gwen TennysonThat's okay. You're not invited.
(as they're being attacked) Why is he shooting at us?
Gwen TennysonI don't know. Everybody always shoots at us.
That guy is so paying for a new paint job!
Gwen TennysonIs that all you think about - your car?
No! Sometimes I think about food.
[After battling the Highbreed, Ben reverts back into human form and has been given a black eye]
Oh, man!
What?
[laughs] The Highbreed gave you a black eye. I like him better already.
GwenAre you all right?
I'm fine. I just want to know where the Highbreed went and what he's up to.
GwenThat way.
The waterfront.
GwenAnd he looked like a man on a mission.
We'll meet at the wharf after dinner and homework.
Should I floss too?
GwenYour parents are gonna freak out when they see that eye. How are you gonna explain it?
Not to worry. My folks believe anything I tell them. I got this covered. [later enters his family home] I'm home! What's for dinner? [sees his parents standing seriously in front of him] 'Sup?
[sternly] Where have you been, young man?
[hesitantly] I was at the movies with Julie. I know I should have told you. Sorry, I--
[notices Ben's black eye and gasps in horror] Carl, look at his eye!
[taking a closer look] That's quite a shiner.
If that was another three inches higher, you could have put your eye out!
Fine. I admit it. I got in a l-little fight. It's no big deal. There was this jerk at school, and…
Ben, are you sure it was a kid at school… and not… a giant alien creature?
[Ben gets a shocked expression on his face, starting to realize that his parents have found out about his secret]
I can't believe it. You look us straight in the eye and lie to us over and over again.
We saw you, Ben. We saw you turn into that thing!
No. You just think you saw. [Carl grabs him by the left wrist and points to the Omnitrix] I can explain.
Really?
N-not so much, no. [talks to his parents while sitting on the sofa a little later] ...Which allows me to access the genetic code of various extraterrestrial forms in order to battle the DNAliens, who will stop at nothing in their quest to take over the Earth!
And this became your job when, exactly?
Five years ago. Grandpa Max said we each have a responsibility to--
Oh, of course! Dad. I should have known. That's so typical!
He was more than just a Plumber. He--
…Lied to us! Your uncle Frank and I knew he had some other life, we knew, and that he lied to us about it all the time! I won't have you lying, too!
It's our own fault. We were too permissive, and what did we get? A 15-year-old son needlessly risking his life!
[stands up from the sofa] Not needlessly, Mom. It has to be me. The Omnitrix is attached to me, it doesn't come off.
[smirking] Oh, it's coming off, all right. [Later, he uses several tools to try to get the Omnitrix off Ben's wrist and eventually gives up] Okay, it's not coming off.
I tried to tell you.
[looks at the Omnitrix, completely indestructible] Not a scratch!
Sorry about your saw blades.
In any case, you're forbidden from using the Omnitrix. Understand?
But, Dad… [his cellphone starts vibrating in his pocket] all humanity is counting…
[opens the door; sternly] Understand? [leaves and slams the door]
[takes his phone out and answers] This is not a good time, okay?
[snatches Ben's cellphone out of his hands] Who is this?
GwenLately, it seems like Ben's just phoning it in.
[Back in Ben's room… Sandra drops his cellphone in a sack as confiscation]
That's my phone!
A cellphone is a privilege, not a right. You'll get it back when you've proven we can trust you.
Ben, are you hanging out with a bad crowd?
What? No!
Are they telling you it's "cool" to sneak out, turn into aliens, lie to your parents?
I want to know who this bad influence is. Their parents need to know what's going on. Who?
It's a sacred trust. I cannot divulge that information. Never, never, never!
[Ben gets a call from Gwen, getting her grounded for being involved]
Gwen[angrily] You ratted me out?!
I can explain.
GwenWhat's to explain? My parents read me the riot act when I got home last night. [imitating her father] "How dare you help Ben deceive your aunt and uncle, young lady?" Why did you tell them?! [through phone] You've gone nose to nose with Vilgax without even blinking!
Vilgax never gave me the "mom look." Sorry.
GwenYou're sorry and I'm grounded. Stuck here in the house instead of finding out what the Highbreed wants with that freighter.
Don't worry. Kevin's on it. [through phone] He's going to check it out tonight.
GwenWha-- you sent Kevin?
Okay, I've got to go.
