[Ben is sleeping when Gwen returns, causing him to wake up.]
Well, that's attractive.
[Stands up and wipes his mouth] What? I'm awake. What?
You needed help?
I need advice. [Holds up the Omnitrix]
S1 E1Part 1
[Gwen traps the fish-like alien in a pink energy rope]
You're getting really good at that stuff.
Thanks.
[Threatening the alien in a fishbowl helmet] I want some answers right now, otherwise–
Yeah?
I dunno. I'll overfeed you?
Do I look like somebody to joke with?
I forgot how much fun this is. [Forever Knights fire at him] That tickles! [His arm falls off] Hey! [His arm reattaches back] You guys are in so much trouble. [Defeats two Forever Knights, then Kevin appears]
Hey, Tennyson!
What do you want?
Let's see, you trapped me in the Null Void all these years.
You did that to yourself!
And you ruined my deal today. I'm thinking I want revenge. The good news is, since I can absorb anything, [Absorbs metal from train track] I've got more than enough power to take it.
[Shocked at Kevin's new ability] That's new.
[Kevin wakes up to see Swampfire, Gwen, and Labrid standing before him, causing him to glare at them. Swampfire transforms back into Ben. Kevin looks down and sees energy cuffs on his arms. He tries to break free, but is unsuccessful.]
Energy cuffs. You can't escape. Ain't nothing there to absorb.
[To Gwen] You still got some of that stuff in your hair.
[Gwen runs her fingers through the right side of her hair.]
Other side.
[Gwen touches the left side of her hair and feels the goop.]
[Disgusted by the goop on the left side of her hair] Eww!
Time we had a talk, tough guy. [Opens the bottom of the laser lance to reveal the ether-point energy cell] These weapons run on ether-point energy cells. A dangerous technology way too advanced for humans. [Closes the bottom of the laser lance] They shouldn't even be on this planet.
So? How's that my problem?
While we were fighting, the Forever Knights got away with a crate full of them.
You set up the deal. You're going to tell me where they are.
[Puts her hand on Kevin's shoulder] Kevin, people could be hurt.
[Realizing that Gwen is right, Kevin softens.]
You're in a lot of trouble, son. I'm giving you a chance to help yourself here.
You don't have to convince me. [Stands up] Those guys ran off before I got paid. I'm happy to help find those deadbeats.
Knowing Grandpa Max, he's probably at a restaurant enjoying a roasted cockroach salad. It's a wonder that all that weird food didn't kill him.
[notices Gwen's words and angrily snaps] He's not dead! Stop making jokes about him!
[Stops the car, then points sternly at Ben] Don't talk to her like that.
I'll talk to her any way I... [notices Gwen and softens, realizing that Kevin is right] You're right. I'm sorry, Gwen.
I know you're worried about Grandpa.
I just wish he were here. He would know what to do. He always knows what to do.
Well, he ain't. You're the one with the Omnitrix. You're going to have to figure out how to get things done on your own.
[Realizing that Labrid is right, Ben becomes determined. Kevin resumes driving.]
S1 E2Part 2
Hands on your head.
Make me.
────────────────────
Whoops!
────────────────────
Ben (as Echo Echo): Echo Echo! (to mechanized dragon) Got you, got you, got you!
Oh, you're not gonna--
Yeah, I am.
────────────────────
Magister Labrid (panicked, to a Forever Knight attempting to use a broken space gun): Don't do it! It's busted. (to Kevin) Hit the deck!
────────────────────
That's why Level 5 technology is illegal on Earth. Humans aren't ready for it.
I owe you one.
Yeah. You do.
────────────────────
Echo Echo (while trying to capture the mechanized dragon): Got you, got you, got you. Don't got you.
────────────────────
Kevin [to Ben, after Echo Echo's sonic attack at the dragon]: You could warn somebody when you're gonna do that.
Gwen [to Ben]: Seriously, I got earplugs in my purse.
Sorry.
That's all of them. [to Ben] If you wouldn't mind. [Echo Echo's sonic attack causes the Forever Knights' blasters to blow up, and steaming liquid is shown dripping from a gash on Labrid's suit]
Echo Echo [to Labrid]: Hey, are you okay? There's... [transforms back to Ben]
[after changing back] ...water leaking out of your suit.
[notices the liquid drop coming out from the gash on the chest of his suit] That's not water.
Kevin [to Labrid]: You alright, man?
Labrid [to Ben]: Listen to me.
I've got a tire patch in the car, maybe we could--
No time for that. There's nothing anyone can do.
Let us help you.
If you want to help me, finish the job. You have to find out where the Level 5 tech is coming from.
I will.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, kid. [weakly] Your grandpa was on the trail of something big: an alien conspiracy with Earth in the middle. He was working undercover. If you crack this case, maybe you can find Max and save your planet.
Ben [sadly]: I can't do it without Grandpa. I don't know how.
You...you are Ben Tennyson. You can do anything. [dries out completely and passes away, leaving only an empty plumber suit with a gash on it]
No.
Ben [to Gwen and Kevin]: I'm gonna need help.
You know I'm here for you.
Kevin, there's no money in this, but--
Kevin [seriously]: I'm in.
────────────────────
[Ben and Kevin are in Kevin's car. Gwen is floating in front of them with a laser lance spinning around in front of her.]
Are you sure this is going to work?
No. I've never done something like this before. But in theory, I should be able to trace the vibrations from this laser lance back to the people who used to own it.
I thought I destroyed all of those things.
I kept one as a souvenir. Lucky, huh? [Ben frowns at him]
[The laser lance stops spinning, turns pink, and points in the right direction.]
Hey, it's working. Follow me!
[Gwen floats off, with Ben and Kevin following behind.]
[Bored] I'll follow you anywhere.
[The car starts going off-road.]
[Angrily] Except there! Come on, Gwen! Paint job!
[Ben turns into Humungousaur]
HUMUNGOUSAUR! Yes! (To the DNAliens) Guess what time it is? It's hero time! (Humungousaur battles the DNAliens)
(Referring to the Highbreed) Did he hurt you?
No.
Well, I'm going to hurt him! (Lifted his metallic fists and gets ready to fight)
He's too strong. I'll hold on, you guys get outside.
I'm not going to let you fight that thing by yourself!
No time to argue! Kevin, get her out!
You heard the man.
Let me go!
As soon as we're off the ship!
(To Humungousaur) You've ruined everything by discovering this location. You've sent our plans back months. Inferior scum, I have to move my ship and find a new hiding place. I'll have to sterilize the area!
Huh? Sterilize?
Destroy all life within 5 miles of here! No witnesses will live to tell the tale.
(Angered) You can't!
(Grabs Humungousaur by the neck) I can and I will!
S1 E3Everybody Talks About The Weather
(riding in Kevin's car) Can't this thing go any faster?
(driving through a 25-MPH speed zone) Yes.
We're still going the same speed.
It's called the speed limit. Fastest we're going tonight.
But you said-
I said "could", not "would".
My mom's going to kill me if i'm late getting home again.
Huh, if she grounds you, it'll be just me and Gwen. Tough break.
You think i'd go with you if Ben wasn't here?
Yeah. I got roguish charm.
(beeping noise)
Phone call for Mr. Rogueish charm.
Not me. I don't have a cell.
Then it's probably 1 of your many girlfriends. (Gwen reaches into Kevin's coat pocket and takes out his Plumbers badge)
Grandpa Max doesn't have anything to do with this, does he?
Nope.
So that badge belongs to the Heatblast guy. Where do you think he got it?
He doesn't act like a Plumber. He's probably just a Plumber's kid.
Why would a policeman give his son a badge?
To keep real Plumbers from arresting them for interplanetary trespass. A badge is better than a passport.
I'm not following.
Heatblast Jr. is probably part human. Human's with alien ancestors are actually pretty common. Most of them have superpowers.
Common?
Well, yeah. That's what you are. You get your powers through your grandpa. I thought you knew.
(scoffs) I get my powers from magic talismans and books.
(laughs) Yeah right. Magic.
S1 E4Kevin's Big Score
[chuckles at a photo] Hey, Ben. Look. [shows Ben the photo of them as kids and Grandpa Max with the Rust Bucket being towed in the background while Ben is picking his nose, annoying his cousin] It's us in front of the old Rust Bucket.
[laughs] That's so like Grandpa Max to lose one dumper, then run out and find another. That whole summer was incredible. Remember, Gwen? Hero time, all the time. Kevin was still a bad guy.
Let it go, Tennyson. I know you're here to keep an eye on me.
(Gwen appears) He got away.
Cool. I mean, oh, no!
How could I let my guard down? He's a liar and a thief.
That was the old Kevin. He's different now. And we're different too. (pulls out handkerchief) I can track him from this.
You kept his sweaty handkerchief?
(Her eyes glow pink and the handkerchief glows with a pink aura)
Got him!
Now, I know this looks bad.
Bad? Bad?! If you don't get the Rust Bucket back, I'll show you bad!
Doubt it.
What happens when this is all over and Grandpa comes home? Where's he gonna live then?
Do I have to separate you two?
He stole Grandpa's home. What kind of jerk steals an old man's home?
One with a good reason. Right?
Yeah, this is important.
Important to you.
[Ben kicks down a pile of tires]
We're supposed to be keeping the planet safe from an alien invasion, and we can't keep a motor home from being stolen?
Drop it. (starts to walk away)
(blocking his way) Don't walk away from me!
Is this where you turn into an alien and try to kick my butt?
I'm considering it.
Kevin Levin. I can't decide whether to trade with you or tear you to pieces. Remember that counterfeit-isotope scam a few years back?
Yeah. Sorry about that.
You left me holding the bag, and at the mercy of the Plumbers. I escaped, but now I'm stuck on Earth swapping level-3 tech to get by, thanks to you.
Ancient history. I'm here to make a deal.
[Stands up] I have the Plumber gadget you want. [Shows Kevin the holo-viewer] What do you give me for it?
Look, completely straight, I had this stash of Plumber's technology, but I lost it.
You want to owe me?
Tell me what I have to do to get.
[Vulkanus holds out his hand, but when Kevin is about to shake it, he grabs his whole arm.]
Huh?
Kneel.
[Vulkanus squeezes Kevin's hand hard, causing Kevin to groan in pain. Kevin drops to his knees while holding his hand. A machine rises from the floor. A piece of Taydenite rises from the machine and wraps two appendages around Kevin's hand, slowly pulling him in and forcing him to touch the crystal and absorb it.]
First, you're going to pay me back for the double-cross.
[As his whole body starts turning into Taydenite] I can't– stop– absorbing!
Because I don't want you to. You're recursibly absorbing a piece of Taydenite, the rarest most precious living gem in the entire galaxy.
[The Pickaxe Aliens slide Kevin backwards. Two large cuffs rise from the floor and hold Kevin in place as the crystals on his back start growing.]
This is the only piece of Taydenite in this spiral of the Milky Way. Or it was, until you came along.
[With his face turning into Taydenite] You're garbage!
[As the crystals on his back grow larger, Kevin screams in pain. The Pickaxe Aliens climb on Kevin's back.]
You owe me. I'm gonna take it out of your hide, then sell you all piece by piece.
[The Pickaxe Aliens chip the Taydenite away from Kevin's back. The Taydenite fall into the mine carts.]
And I'm gonna do it forever.
Do what you want to me, but Ben Tennyson gets that holo-viewer.
[Vulkanus laughs, then flicks the holo-viewer away towards the wall.]
You're in a bad position to make demands.
