TV show quotes
[Ben gets a message from Max]
Ben, if you found this message, you must be in pretty deep. There's a lot I can't reveal yet, but here's one thing I can: You can't go it alone. By now, you're probably meeting some of the other Plumber's kids, but you have to find more. You need to put together a team.
(referring to Ben) Think we should be worried about him? He's been watching that thing for hours. (sips drink; looks at Gwen) Problem?
Why haven't you asked me out?
What?
You heard me. We spend all of our time together, and you obviously like me.
(Kevin laughs)
You do. I see you mooning at me when you think I'm not looking.
Mooning?
And I like YOU - most of the time - so I'm asking you again.
See? That's the problem. You're asking me. A guy does the asking.
Yeah? When?
Don't push me.
(mimicking) "Don't push me."
Easy does it. I'm not the one you're mad at.
Don't you think we should get to know him a little more?
What's there to know? He's got the powers, he's got the gear-
He's got a sparkly trail when he flies?
(points at screen) I patched into the central Plumber's monitoring network. It's connected to everything: a global and interplanetary internet, earth-bound law inforcement frequencies, oh... and of course the badge communicator channel.
Communicator channel?
Yeah, you did know the badges were communicators didn't you?
[Kevin absorbs the doorknob, then sticks his finger into the keyhole to pick the lock.]
This is why you changed your mind about Mike going off with Gwen? So we could spy on him?
Yep.
Well, stop!
He ain't right, Ben. If you're not gonna check him out, I am.
You're doing the wrong thing, Kevin. The old Kevin thing. [Grabs Kevin's arm] Step away from the door.
You really wanna fight me over some new guy? [Frees his arm from Ben's grip] That's how you're gonna build a team? [Opens the door] And they said I didn't learn anything in the Null Void.
Kevin–
[arriving at the house] Is Mike home? [Ben and Kevin turn to see her walking up to them] He hasn't called me back since you and that new girl showed up.
[Ben and Kevin exchange looks, then turn to Trina.]
Uh, Trina, right? Yeah, Morningstar ain't here right now.
[Trina tilts her head to look at the open door. Ben and Kevin exchange looks, then turn to Trina.]
We're just picking up some stuff for him.
[Comes up the stairs] Then you know where he is. Can you take me?
No. I mean, he's busy.
I need to see him. Why won't he see me?
[Kevin notices marks on Trina's arm.]
Where did you get those marks on your arm?
[Trina shrugs. Ben and Kevin turn away from Trina to keep her from hearing what they were saying.]
I saw those same marks on that zombie girl that tried to tenderize me.
I just wanna see Mike.
[Ben and Kevin turn to Trina.]
Yeah. I'm getting that.
[Ben and Kevin turn back to each other.]
Call me crazy, but is it possible Morningstar's the one making these girls this way?
[Trina approaches them.]
You're crazy.
[Ben and Kevin turn to Trina.]
'Scuse us.
[Ben and Kevin turn back to each other.]
Look, it didn't really hit me till just now, but Gwen's been wearing her sleeves lower than usual. She was hiding something.
[Ben looks at the marks on Trina's arms. As Ben turns back to Kevin, Trina walks past them and walks into the house.]
You're saying Gwen has marks like that on her arms?
I didn't see them for sure, but it makes sense.
Come to think of it, Trina was all weak and wobbly when we first saw her on the highway.
[Kevin nods.]
Gwen was the same way at the power plant. Gwen might've caught whatever bug is doing this.
Yeah. And the bug's name is Mike Morningstar.
Fact is, you've been against Morningstar since the minute we met him.
Yeah, but at first, it was just 'cause he's an arrogant, bragging rich kid.
Who Gwen likes more than she likes you.
Yeah, some of that, but now Gwen's in trouble, and you're too stuck on following your grandpa's instructions to see it.
If Mike's turning those girls into creatures, why isn't Trina one?
I don't know! Maybe it's like a vampire thing. Maybe it takes a while before they go all-zombie.
Are you listening to yourself? Mike's been helping us ever since we got here. Why did he fight them with us?
Ah, but he didn't, remember? He told us not to hurt them. Then he accidentally blasted into the pipes and let them get away.
Even if you're right, we don't know where they went for dinner. How are we supposed to find her?
Easy– we find him.
[Max enters a diner and sits down at a booth.]
Like to hear about the special?
Just coffee.
Don't get too many strangers here. What brings you to Santa Mira?
Great fishing. Great weather.
Our fish are all farm-raised. And this is the rainy season.
[Takes off his fedora] I was misinformed.
Here's your special. [Puts down a covered plate]
I didn't order that.
It's on the house.
[The old woman pulls up the cover, revealing a Xenocite inside that leaps at Max. Max easily swats away the Xenocite. The old woman grabs Max from behind, but he hits her with the back of his head.]
You're one strong lady. Or are you?
[Max pulls off an ID mask on an old woman, transforming it into a DNAlien. Max pushes his legs against the table and kicks back, slamming the DNAlien into another table. The Xenocyte starts approaching Max, prompting him to grab and slam a coffee pot on it.]
I said just coffee.
Uh, no. Or let me put it in another way, no.
Come on, Kevin, he's my cousin. He was supposed to be home from college 2 days ago.
And you want me to waste my time driving my car looking for your cousin?
I know how it sounds. The police said to wait. I'm sure he's fine, but we just don't know where he is.
Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale. He's a college student.
No. He called from the road and said his car broke down in some town called Santa Mira. We haven't heard anything since. His folks are worried.
And I'm supposed to care, why?
Because he's my brother.
(everyone is silent for a moment)
Get in.
What? Ken? Your brother's name is Ken? Gwen and Ken Tennyson? What's your folks' names? Sven and Jen? I'm talking to you, Ben.
Yes, our names rhyme and you noticed. Good for you.
[reading the sign] "Welcome to Santa Mira."
For a guy who's so cool, he sure picked a lame spot to have spring break.
Ken IS totally cool. And he didn't pick where the awesome-mobile broke down.
The "Awesome-mobile"?
His car... I told you he's cool.
(sarcastic) Oh yeah, who could doubt it.
I say, we hit the garages in town. Find Ken's car, find Ken.
Good idea. I mean, how many garages can this whole support? Five -- five garages. One-horse town, five garages?
Five garages so far. And if the Awesome-mobile isn't in this one, we'll have to keep… [spots Ken's car] Bingo!
You found a bingo game?
I found his car.
That's the Awesome-mobile? That thing makes the Rust Bucket look like a Ferrari!
What are you doing in my garage?
You want I should call the sheriff?
Yeah, you do that… [reads the name tag] Shem. I bet he'd be real interested to find out what happened to the kid who owns this car.
[finds more slime in the container] More slime?
Okay, that's it. What is that stuff, anyway? What was in here?
[The two workers are revealed to be DNAliens in disguise by a flash of lightning]
Check it out. It's the DNA hill-billies.
[The group finds a DNAlien handcuffed in the back of a truck at a diner]
[yanks the torn shirt piece out of the alien's mouth] Okay, start talking.
[as his Omnitrix beeps] What is up with you?
Unknown DNA sample acquired.
[surprised] That's new.
Ben, you want to look at this. [picks and holds up a torn piece of Grandpa Max's shirt]
[gasps] This is from his favorite shirt!
Who's favorite shirt?
Grandpa Max! [grabs the DNAlien with her magic beam; demanding] Tell us who tied you up, now!
(scared) Max Tennyson. He wanted to find some kid.
Where is he?!
(referring to Grandpa Max) I don't know. He cuffed me and left me here.
Not him. He can take care of himself. The kid. Where is my brother?!
H-hatchery.
[The three come across Ken, who's nearly turned into a DNAlien]
That's Ken? He's actually less cool than his car.
We've got to help him.
He was fighting us. Whatever they did to him affected his mind.
What this did to me, is… SET ME FREE! [picks up an unconscious DNAlien and throws it at them]
Let's get him!
No! Don't hurt him! [wraps her brother in manna tendrils] He's just sick! [referring to the Xenocyte] It's that thing on him, it's making him do this!
Then let's get it off him. [grabs Ken's head and starts pulling him too hard]
Kevin, wait! You're hurting him!
